A remarkable example of a pathetic species.
Lipstick Apathy
A lot of people on Reddit seem very upset that FO4's map isn't 1:1 scale Massachusetts. But given that there aren't vehicles in game, I really don't mind it. I tried going through FO3 without fast travel, and it was doable but obnoxious, tried Skyrim without fast travel and just gave up eventually. Even with horses it'd take forever to get from point A to point B. Being able to get everywhere I want without having to teleport all the time isn't really a downside to me, so long as there's a high density of stuff contained in that area.

A mod that makes the player bipolar by randomly picking dialogue choices for you and you have no control over it might be kind of entertaining.

Why do you need a mod? There are always only four options, yes, no, unsure, and explain.

I am not getting excited until I know whether or not it still makes the same noises. Spiking people to walls is fun, but it's really the sound effects that made this gun great.

Joyous.
"Fun" is reading a post from 350 pages back where a SomethingAwful poster insists on defending a completely irrelevant NPC in Fallout 3 by inventing hypothetical situations that aren't described in the game.

Also shooting Super Mutants in the head is pretty fun, yea.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

sector_corrector posted:

TPP's story is dense and self-referential, but not nonsense. That's a distraction from the conversation though, and subjective.

Obviously every game has its weak points, just like different film directors have different strengths. I can enjoy Mulholland Drive and Guardians of the Galaxy in completely different ways without saying that the visual effects in Mulholland Drive aren't good enough, or the plot of Guadians isn't complex enough.

The point that I'm making is that the low points of TPP (let's say the sparsity of the open world, which I actually do agree with you on) overall don't matter much to me, personally, in the whole experience of the rest of the game. However, the perennially poor writing and graphical abilities of Bethesda as a developer do in fact change how I enjoy their games. It's why I've played through FO3 1.5 times, and played New Vegas 3 times (and can see playing it again in the future). In that case even fixing a single aspect of the game, the story, is enough to make me want to play it more. To expand on it a little more, I would say that Bethesda's main faults are questions of craft. They're fairly good at putting together a bunch of complex systems that mostly work with one another, but extremely incompetent when it comes to giving those systems grace, meaning, or style. That's why I'm glad that they brought in outside help for the combat this time around - at least that's one area that they've decided to improve upon.

This is a cool post and not a giant waste of garbage like the other thread shitters are crapping out. That said, it seems a bit odd to poo poo on a story when all you've got to go on is random spoilers and leaks? I mean, I'm not laboring under any delusion that the story in this game will buck the trend and be good for once. It almost certainly won't be!

Unless I get a HATE X option in every dialogue wheel, in which case goty.

What's crazier than that are people who'll ignore 10 pictures of male characters displaying how lovely the models look, and then flip poo poo when one picture of a female character is posted, while accusing anyone who thinks the model looks like poo poo of being sexist.
