    Fallout 2 vs New Vegas

    I just meant patience in the combat sense. Besides, you could still fast-travel in NV using the Pipboy. The combat requires A LOT of patience in the older Fallout games, especially when you're clearing out larger bases. The time it takes for NPCs to move towards you as they attack you, I could...

    Bad movies you love?

    I loooove the "Bare Island" soundtrack in the movie (that music playing when Ethan tricks Ambrose with his mask). Hans Zimmer FTW. God, that was just so intense. And the M:I:II version of the theme music just kicks all kinds of ass with its bass and drums. It's a loud and adrenaline-pumping...

    Fallout 2 vs New Vegas

    I have to say New Vegas, unfortunately. I'm 28, and I grew up with FO3 and its FPS generation. Maybe if I had been exposed to the first two Fallout games when I was young, I might not have found the turn-based combat of Fallout games to be so tedious and cumbersome. I'm afraid I just don't have...

    Is NMA wrong about Fallout?

    *looks at title* Oh brother. I don't even know why this thread exists. It's NMA. We hate Bethesda. 'Nuff said.

    /pol/shit, Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the shitposting

    I still laugh my ass off at Oprah's "9000 penises" conspiracy theory. "They're out there to rape your children." Heh. People will always be stupid. Human nature never changes.

    Fallout Officially is Bethesda/Dead

    A few years ago, I might have joined the other critics and called out on the blasphemy that is Bethesda, watering down our favorite franchises into shallow, hollow and forgettable money-making sows. But now, today, what with the many franchises already watered down and milked dry (Mass Effect...

    Exploration Feels Like A Waste Of Time

    I agree about not caring for exploration. Personally - and I've said this before on this forum - I think that roleplaying games have been watered down by exploration ever since around the time FO3 was released, and it's only gotten worse after 2010. I think the major difference between the...

    Random Thoughts About Fallout 3

    Another few moments in FO3 that punish evil actions. I know, I know, you've already read so many of such posts, but I'm nearing the end of my FO3 replay (not including the DLCs anyway), so I might as well post these for posterity. 1. Oasis Burn up Harold with a flame-based weapon and you get...

    Random Thoughts About Fallout 3

    Dumb Fallout 3 moment of the day: Player nukes an entire city, taking away dozens of innocent lives. Dad is disappointed... Wow. Yeah. That really sums up American parenting.

    So why do Bethesda fans responsd harshely to critism of their games?

    Well said. It also explains 80% of all arguments on the Internet. People have to defend something they love because they want more of it, and don't like it when critics discourage the production of their favorite things. Sometimes, we let our emotions get too volatile. And on the Internet...

    Random Thoughts About Fallout 3

    Actually, the Littlehorn office does have a "Lying, Congressional Style" book. Just a little detail. It's still not much of an improvement when you take the aforementioned 1000 caps "bounty" into consideration though. But you know what? The more Bethesda punishes me, the more I rebel against...

    Random Thoughts About Fallout 3

    Here's another way Bethesda rewards the good and punishes the evil: the "Contract Killer" perk rewards no unique outfit, whereas the "good" version of the perk, "Lawbringer", grants you the Regulator Duster. Though I guess you could technically be hunted by Regulators anyway and loot off their...

    I can't wait ...

    Skyrim was a bore. A huge empty world full of samey side quests. Oh right, that's Mass Effect: Andromeda too. What do you know...

    I can't wait ...

    Fallout: The Old Republic. Urghk. Pretty much like how TOR raped the KotOR franchise, I'm sure this will be the final nail in Fallout's coffin. FO4 was merely the vanguard, people, the harbinger, the herald of this impending doom. Or was that FO3? I lost count.

    Random Thoughts About Fallout 3

    Yeah, but like many of the so-called "evil" (*cough*edgy*cough*) actions in FO3, what would be the point of killing Three Dog? You would miss out on some really some awesome music, especially if you installed the GNR Enhanced mod, not to mention the drama show. It has little to no opportunistic...

    Random Thoughts About Fallout 3

    Yeah, but Three Dog doesn't seem to report on this particular evil act, making it feel all the more boring and meaningless. On the other hand, if you lie all the way 'till the end, Three Dog will tell everyone to stay the f*** away from the book. It's almost funny enough that I don't care about...

    Add Angry Joe to the people who are helping to kill our franchise

    Just saw AJ's review on FO4 again and I was pissed off by how he glorifies this game. I was kinda hoping he would get angry at the watered down RPG elements in a F***ING RPG!!!! But nope, he's a mainstream trash nowadays. AJ's a hack for quite a few years now, only focusing on his mediocre...

    Why does this website dislike Fallout 3 so much?

    I feel like we are living in a time when "RPG" is a watered down concept these days where you hardly "role play" anything and merely "upgrade a character with power-ups and better weapons/armor." That's not roleplaying IMO but hey, they are probably experts on this so what do I know? Now, FO3...

    Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

    Heya, new member here. Heard a lot about you guys for so long. Just a short time after I first played FO3 a decade ago, I've already heard about the group of FO1/2 fans who loathe FO3. Can't say I blame you. This does look like a watered down version of FO1/2. Anyway, FO4 sucks, and I hate it...
