Ooo, Fallout: Pirates. There we go. Starring Kevin Costner as your dad/son.

Haha, I thought I was making a joke, but maybe not.

This is a travesty. Fallout can ONLY be set in California. It must be in isometric perspective, and released in the late 90s by Interplay or subsidiaries. Soundtrack must be composed by Mark Morgan, and it must contain few, if any, recognizable landmarks.

Could serve as the location for the Burned Man festival... Maybe throw in a yearly reenactment of the town's destruction

True. Nice and isolated, though. I picture a bunch of greenhouses, tended by weirdos in white robes.

A desert seems like a perfect spot for a cult to me. Selling an entire town feels like such an American West thing to happen.

It's not even original in the past couple years. I had it confused with Mutant: Year Zero for a while.

Looks fun, now that I bothered to actually watch the trailer. Though reviews are mixed, and it has crafting...because of course it does

It's Bethesda. :D I'm not sure they cared either. The most memorable character in all of Skyrim is Nazeem, and that's just because he repeats the same stupid line over and over through all of the thousands of hours people have put into the game. Liam himself sounded like he was narrating a...

True. A lot of people treat books, movies, and music the same way, but it's probably even worse with games. They're missing out on a lot, though. I spent last month playing SNES games, listening to 80s music, and reading a book that's at least three hundred years old. No regrets.

Yeah, I preferred the hands-off story, too. I think I like reading text more than the average player, and I liked being there to explore and shoot monsters without having the rug pulled out from under me by another plot twist every half hour. If you ignore the DLCs, the first game also had...

Don't have any great screenshots of it, but I was partial to the Borderlands 1 aesthetic. Kind of a mishmash of dieselpunk and junkpunk, somewhere between Fallout, Mad Max, and Alien. I've also seen a recent trend toward what I might call trashpunk? Focused more around our future of being...

Was just thinking about this yesterday. The Japanese market has still built some of its most popular franchises around mechanics (and aesthetics) that the western AAA industry has either abandoned or never explored. Dragon Quest is still a pop culture phenomenon on its own. Weird to think about...

A thread for people to post their own rankings would be nice, but I think an article not based on a poll would leave the author more able to justify the ranking, which is the interesting part, anyway. And I'm fine with that approach because I'm assuming whoever writes it for NMA would make the...

Funny thing is, it took about 20 years for 3D fighting games to advance enough to be comparable to hand-drawn sprites. Guilty Gear Xrd is impressive because it goes out of its way to look 2D. Tech limitations when discussing Fallout 1 & 2 are weird, because I feel like they fell into the sweet...

I think this is because some of them ARE normies, who actually feel this way.

Agreed, but I'm still going to blame the writer, in addition to the apparatus that produced them.

Yeah, makes sense. I just found the idea that the player could take a train from the east to the west coast without incident amusing. The canon existence of a functional, safe route like that would be a massive plot point in a world as destroyed as Fallout. Come to think of it, if you wanted to...

Welcome to the post-apocalypse, where we still have a functioning transcontinental railroad.

Wouldn't it be funny if MS didn't buy Obsidian and Beth to make a new Fallout RPG? They actually just saw Grounded and 76, and wanted to snap up a couple more studios to churn out some new Minecraft clones.
