Sup, nigger.

Kermit/5

It's funny, because the reason I have this nick is being angry about how buggy and broken Daggerfall was on release. Time is a flat circle of irony.

It's a matter of perspective. I talked a lot of shit about Fallout 3 before and after release, and despite how bad a game it truly was, it never made me question the validity of living and wanting to drink bleach like the dumb shit Bethesda is doing with Fallout now. Todd's 20 year OP of...

I'll celebrate Fallout 69 by replaying Fallout 1, 2, Tactics and NV and then walking into highway traffic.

Which is such a shame, because NV has brilliant writing. And I mean, top notch. The team did the best with what they had to work with, and holy fuck, they made an Oblivion With Guns that is decent. I enjoyed it very much, but it always felt somehow wrong. I guess you can't just mix and match...

You know, after reading all of this, all I can think of is how much better NV would have been if it had been done in the original Fallout engine. And how absolutely shit, even more than it is now, F3 would have been.

Maybe not as much "bland and cliche", just Fallout 1 is so focused in what it's trying to do, to a great effect, admittedly, but it's just so much smaller in scale in comparison to Fallout 2. I truly believe, despite F2 betraying some core aspects of the original, it is a better game. It just...

Good thing. Made my original Fallout disc into a fidget spinner but wanted to replay it sometime soon.

War never changes but the gaming world sure did. Back then even having to acquire a patch for a game was uncommon. Well, unless you wanted Fallout 2 or Daggerfall to be playable. :v It is, actually, a very interesting thought experiment - to force yourself into a mindset of a gamer from the...

Exactly! I'm glad someone else made an elaborate post about this. And, I don't know, that might be my nostalgic-traditionalist side speaking, I like when systems are consistent throughout a defined series. Or at least as close to consistent as can be. If you tweak a setting enough - a system...

Yes. Not the change from system A to system B, to be clear - just the mechanics of both. Also, I don't care one single droplet of a spit about Wasteland, one or two.

And that's exactly why you'll never understand why people who played Fallout 1 and 2 when they released, and came to love those games, are so angry about Bethesda's sequels and treat them as betrayal. I can respect that - you don't know better, you have no feelings invested here. However...

I'd rather see the series dead than watch it "evolve" into garbage. New Vegas was a step in the right direction - it showed you can bring Fallout into modern gaming standards while preserving the things that made the original games good. Quite fitting that Bethesda is willing to run the NV...

Yeah sure, shitting all over core gameplay paradigms inherent to the series is no big deal. Dumbing down mechanics? Pure. Genius. So innovative, castrate the system to make the ADD audience understand it better. I mean, who today could handle percentages anyway, you'd probably need a degree in...

It's supposedly an allegory for the plight of Serbian people - "fucked from birth to death". Granted, people from the Balkans have got it pretty bad but that's still a weak excuse to produce a shock flick just for the sake of generating controversy, but that's how the makers chose to spin it.

Except there's nothing to "re-assess". CRPG games that use the classic formula still work and sell today. It's not old, it's not stale, it still has a big audience, as proven by PoE and Torment kickstarters. You don't have to deconstruct the entire genre to make it fit into modern gaming...

This game is shaping up to be a typical console kiddie ARPG, devoid of any originality and ambition. Bethshit looked at all the improvements NV did to the steaming pile of fail that was 3 and said "fuck that", threw them out the window and decided to keep injecting more cancer into the rotting...

That's what should happen after taunting that Enclave trooper via the Gekko power plant computer. :lol:
