Do you know how offensive that is? You shouldn't just denigrate an entire culture like that, how would you feel if someone said "I only play a black character on my high str / low int gimmick run" or "I only give my character a big nose when I do my high speech / barter & no combat coward gimmick run". I thought we were past this casual racism bullshit.

The app is literally something you have to check on every 10 minutes and click on something, it really might as well just be my work email. Except the app convinces you that you're accomplishing something every ten minutes.

It's basically masturbation.

I was exaggerating wildly for comedic effect. That being said, I have to admit it did dampen my appreciation for the game version a bit - the real life Zion is the most beautiful place I've ever seen, so it's pretty goddamn hard to measure up to.

The Chernobyl/Pripyat area was done so well because they fenced off huge sections of otherwise uninteresting nothingness and had you bounce between areas via loading gates. That and the entire exclusion zone isn't that big to begin with. Some of the mods that try to address that by filling in the geometry just gives you extra space to run into wild dogs or blunder face first into an anomaly. For seamless open world games, you either need to make a custom map, or take a true to life map and compress the gently caress out of it. Nobody wants to hike through 20 loving miles of Las Vegas suburbs to get to the strip, or spend 3 IRL hours holding down W to hike between Primm and Vegas.

STALKER always gave me the impression that you were supposed to have hiked a bit to get to the next area. Like the Ukrainian soldiers you can bribe to get on the road out of the starting area to head further into the Zone.

New Vegas veritably stokes the flames of US Tourism!

Why IS the US military moving back into 'Stargate' base deep under the Rocky Mountains a decade after it was abandoned?

quote:

...due (in part) to its mystery, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex has often been portrayed in popular media as a site for secret Government activities. It most recently served as the inspiration for Fallout: New Vegas' "Big MT", a video game about the world after a nuclear apocalypse. Fitting, in other words, for a place like Cheyenne.

Understandably, the video game's depiction has captured the imaginations--and the attention--of various groups. It has become a common destination for tourists--many of whom are surprised when security patrols turn them away before they ever have a chance to see the complex--as well as transparency groups who believe the facility's reopening will usher in a new wave of questionable government programs, as depicted in the game. A year ago, a pair of activists from the 'Big MT Trespassers' organization attempted to scale Cheyenne's walls and gain access into one of the facilities. When apprehended, the individuals reportedly demanded to see "Morpheus"--allegedly a character from the game.
