I didn't quite finish Fo4 but I got like ~40 fun hours out of it. I got sick of the black cowboy giving me urgent-sounding missions, had to shuffle inventory too much, stumbled on some gun that was way better than my other guns so made them kind of irrelevant except when I ran out of that ammo, and had no interest in the building-settlements part but somebody (probably here) told me you could get away with ignoring it which was a nice move on the designer's part. That's all I remember.

Wow, i wonder what could be over that featureless mountain. Perhaps a quest where i kill 4 mudcrabs, or a woman asking me to bring her 4 mudcrab carapaces. Wow...

preston was all set up to be my bro and we were going to single handedly restore jeffersonian yeomanry to the wasteland but it turns out he's incredibly needy and avoids all responsibility for himself and the only good person in the minutemen is that bad rear end grandma at the fort :argh:

yes i know preston probably has PTSD from quincy but that requires you to get through his questline and gently caress that. i left his rear end in sanctuary

my least favorite part of fallout 4 is that it punishes you for being a good person in nuka world by taking its fun toys and going home

i mean yes i can still ride the roller coaster and ferris wheel and stuff but it’s not the same

:sigh:

i found the location so boring that i just did the quest to kill every gang leader right away and got out

dogmeat is the best companion because he doesn't have idiotic dialogue or backstory. he's a dog. he does dog things

i did dislike most characters except for majority of railroad and the ghoul detective. least liked character was probably the needy old woman at the home city, i built her chair outside so she can chill out in the rain

it's super stupid how games went:
rpgs => rpgs but with other people and without 90% of what made rpgs work => mmorpgs but offline, losing the people and without adding the good bits back again

and now they've got the elder scrolls online which i can only imagine is somehow even worse still

And none hold a candle to Boone or Ed-E. Upon reflection, the NV soundtrack was 90% RoboAlert Chime, gunshot, and Boone kill dialogue. 2 shots for deathclaws.

Also if we're talking open world games, I still think GTA:SA deserves GOAT status for how much of a leap forward it was. And it mostly holds up to replay.

in other news a friend of mine is turning into a cop as in she's actually in training to become a cop. she was telling me stories about other cops in training talking about their intention to do some police brutality (roughing up suspects while arresting them), openly supporting the death penalty and one already abusing his as of yet non-existent power by getting out of a speeding ticket by mentioning he's a cop in training. she was shocked by it and i was sitting there like "oh dang? oh word? imagine all that."

she promised me she'd send me some positive stories about her classmates when she came across them and im still waiting i guess

elder scrolls online is fairly good, even as a "single player" game. and no, ancient rpgs should stay where they belong, in the trash

Fallout games grate on me because it’s always gray and brown and radioactive green and everything is always still lovely and broken and patched together. It’s been hundreds of years since the apocalypse! Pick up the garbage!
