I also happen to be playing New Vegas again because I'm dumb.
Kinda wanna pick up Battlegrounds but I hope it doesn't look as ugly as it does on streams.

It's uglier, and you likely have to run it at low unless you have access to NASA super computers since the optimization may be the worst I've seen in a game.

I'm really close to just dropping the hammer on Wasteland 2 because I want something like the classic Fallout games because the Fallout 3-era stuff never really ever clicked with me as much as they should have and I'm really not sure I want to give Fallout 4 a go to see if it does.

No idea about Wasteland 2 but if you didn't like 3 or New Vegas you won't like Fallout 4.
4 improves on 3 in some regards but is an even worse RPG

Wasteland 2 has loads of unskippable combat and it's boring as gently caress. Imagine xcom where the only action is duck or shoot

Did Mad Max turn out ok? I remember some complaining about it when it came out but now the reviews look really good and it's pretty cheap.

Worth a try at that price. Much like MGS V, it makes a great first impression but really really drags in the middle. I couldn't force myself through it and I am a fan of most ubisoft open world games.

Right, but if that's true, the solution is "don't play fallout games". I remember the old ones fondly but that doesn't mean they're good by today's standards and frankly, I don't think I'd make it out of the starting areas. New Vegas is the only 3d one that reaches "tolerable" but even then just barely. I didn't quit fully until one of the main quests broke entirely in the middle of it. Bethesda games have no soul.

Blackwake is 20% off right now its already fairly cheap price. Early access / alpha but the game as it is right now was well worth my <$20. Played it like 8 hours already since I bought it on Wednesday night.

What are modern standards exactly? Crafting, handholding, exploring an empty sandbox and an endless amount of fetch quests?

I like to think that video games have appreciated that I already spent years punching rats, playing the tutorial, using quicksave/load and backtracking for health so I got enough experience and leveled up so that I don't have to play games like that anymore.

This is why New Vegas is the best Fallout game, the wasteland was teeming with hidden treasures, monsters, and not empty houses. Each area had its own communities and atmospheres.

F:NV > all other fallout games

Fallout: NV is like Fallout 3 that was never meant to be, wacky stuff from 2 but with the world building sperginess of the first one, from the point where Brotherhood of Steel nukes the gold reserves of west coast, sending the factions to a new dark age where they base their own monopoly currencies to luxuries they have at that moment (water, slaves, poker chips)
