This is fuckin' truth.

Fallout 2 was injokey and pretty bloated with references and bad writing.

Fallout 2 was just generally jokey more than injokey. It had it's tongue pushed so far into it's cheek that the references and shoddy plot stuff worked fine, because it was very much a comedy on purpose; it took nothing seriously. Meanwhile FO3 tried to get you to be sad because of a self-sacrifice that you didn't need to make.

I mean for fucks sake my party included a dog that brought people bad luck, a woman I was forced to marry at literally shotgun and turned into a porn fluffer for caps, motherfucking Myron, a smart super mutant.. the game was in no way trying to even be the tiniest, smallest bit serious.

ED: Even the serious stuff like a mob boss asking you to murder someone could turn into comedy gold. The greatest moment in the franchise came for me when I went to tell the guy the mob boss wanted dead that he should leave town and to warn him, failed my charisma, and his wife ran into the room pulling a pulp fiction. Long story short he missed me with a full auto burst from an SMG, hit a half dozen children instead, and a 3-way war between "flower children" hurling rocks, the guy I was supposed to kill and his wife, and me and Ian who was just murdering loving everyone at that point. It'd only be topped when I accidentally started a war in New Reno in FO2, because Myron kept running to every corpse to loot and do their drugs in the middle of a firefight.

poo poo, even murdering an old guy in a wheelchair by taking his oxygen away turned into a punchline when you got the "Cripple Killer" reputation. If anyone took Fallout 1 and 2 remotely seriously they were doing it wrong.

Fallout 4 is the best post apocalyptic Minecraft there is.

My unpopular opinion is that Postal 2's piss mechanic should be in every single game.

You have a point.

I know it's cool to hate on Minecraft but some of the weird poo poo you can build with redstone actually owns.

At least if you like building TNT / Horse cannons and mortars.

Are you a game dev? Crazy respect if you are.

Or if you mean making things in in game builders, it's just a mechanic to screw around with.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Sorry I didn't do a melee character. I honestly didn't mind Lonesome Road or Honest Hearts. Old World Blues and Dead Money are the worst of the lot since they did little to advance the plot.

Games that force you to complete them on a countdown or by a certain number of in-game hours are not fun and cause me anxiety and I can't enjoy anything about them.

i didn't make a melee character either! the superfist is so overpowered that any build can use it. i did OWB before any of the other expansions and it made them walks in the park. but your original point stands: those roboscorpions are bullshit

The Dead Money dlc in New Vegas had an annoying premise. Every character insists that you're :qq: so greedy :qq: for coming to loot this legendary place, even though you just got kidnapped while scavenging an abandoned bunker and the only way your character would even hear about the place is a couple crappy posters scattered around the world. Then they "force" you to give up on a bunch of wealth in the form of gold bars, but if you did the right thing earlier you get unlimited free poo poo after the DLC.

I always leave with the gold bars, even though I have half that much in old world money from the casino and the vending machine at the bunker takes care of most of the things I commonly bought.
