I see this a lot. I think there’s also a lot of people like myself who’s first experience with the series was 3, which was an awesome game at the time. Fans of the originals seem like they have a huge chip on their shoulder for anything that’s not new vegas. I don’t particularly understand why since New Vegas is extremely similar to 3 mechanically.

I thought 4 was fine too. I cant speak for the originals but the modern day games are fine versions of “wander around and discover random poo poo and make dialogue choices”. Yknow, Bethesda stuff.

What’s going on there? Is it just the stories or whatever that people take issue with? I find they’re mostly just framing as an excuse for you to wander around and do whatever. Did they bastardize the series by making it Elder Scrolls with guns?

I guess what I’m saying is if you know what you’re getting into, I don’t see why the likes of 3 and 4 can’t be enjoyed for what they are.

It was all about the writing. You're right that mechanically, New Vegas is basically the same game, but the writing, story, and characters go above and beyond any of the other Fallout games.

3, 4 and 76 are the equivalent of empty calories these days. y'know, Bethesda stuff

you'll probably have fun with them but "you can enjoy them for what they are" sounds a lot like a rephrased "can be avoided"

Happy Tuesday.

I finished the Diablo 4 campaign and I'm going to follow up by either finishing a Conquest run in Dune Spice Wars or picking Unicorn Overlord back up.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Pretty much the only downside of being unemployed is having no money, which is a pretty big downside, but everything else in your life becomes so much better. Including your Time 2 Game.

Necromancer. I was thinking of checking out Druid when Season 4 starts though.

It’s weird how few games that have Necromancer in them let you just run around with a big skelly swarm.
