Fallout 3 is one of the most unfairly maligned games of the last 10 years or so

The game that was showered with awards for its story and writing when the first major decision you make is "Nuke town/don't nuke town" because that's what Bethesda thinks is an interesting decision? Yeah, very unfairly treated.

Fallout 3 is good as a big dumb triple A video game and a lousy sequel to Fallout and Fallout 2.

As someone who only played the game for the first hour, the answer to your question is "depends if the decision actually matters". I assume the result is the same either way...

I do seriously mean it when I say Fallout 3 was a good, or at least enjoyable, game (terrible ending though). It's just unfortunate that New Vegas came along fairly soon afterwards and basically did everything better, which threw 3's flaws into sharper relief and mean it is often remembered as a worse game than it was.

that decision is essentially the start of is your char a face or a heel. if you dont blow up the nuke most of the wasteland likes you but the adam cultists hate you
if you do set it off the cult of adam loves you and everyone else is semi to full hostile.

FO3 gets the same hate that most "late in series but mainstream popular" games get. sometimes its undeserved sometimes it is. cases in point. FO3 was good once modders ironed out poo poo people were completely into that portion of the wasteland even if they didnt like all the dialogue options.

then new vegas came out and merged the best of the old with the best of the new and it was over.

FF7 is bad and ugly but the first mainstream rpg using (at the time) pretty graphics and to be advertised on tv
SF5 is kind of bland (because character play styles are limited) but gets promoted way better than sf games of the past.

if the Dad questing of fallout 3 never existed and they had used the time spent making that to put in a couple more neat settlements with quests or something it would still have been stupid but very good. I never became a cultist of fallout 2 because referential humor often stinks badly of poo poo!

I hope The Outer Worlds is closer to deus ex or bloodlines than fallout in scope and design

Kenny's a Capcom fanboy and will go to bat for them in spite of how good or bad whatever game they released is.

And while I prefer SFV over IV, it does suffer from the problem where there's no real character variety or interesting mechanics and the V-Trigger mechanic makes most matches feel like you're facing Final Bison with full meter in Alpha 3.

Fallout 2 is the Family Guy of video games. Or the Mauro Ranallo commentary of video games.

a lot of the people who say its complete dog poo poo just don't like one of the things about it

crush counters (the crush system from A3 on drugs (keeps you on the ground so you can get combo'd harder instead of popping you into the air for maybe a good juggle)

the lack of ability to really open up the combo system since only really good characters have good combos...that is another thing people don't like sf5 really does kinda pidgeonhole the meta of the game too much the good characters will kill you for 1 mistake. the bad characters cant kill you no matter how many mistakes they get to take advantage of.

me personally I go back and forth with the game. all the characters I ended up liking were really good at one point or another (laura akuma birdie G)

I don't like that it's really slow and damage is tiny, then again my main games are Samurai Shodown 5S and ST

The AKI Engine -- and that's this thing that people say all of the time, and they don't realize it -- the AKI Engine would put developers out of business. But, with that said, we should be actively working towards some sort of game, and this is outside of what I'm talking about with AEW and as me in the executive role, but we should actively be working to have the happiest gamers you can possibly have. Whether that starts as a player feedback system, or an e-sports league, or some sort of body where there's a complete, transparent communication between those in games journalism and those in gaming.

What really gets internet dorks riled up is that Kenny Omega is a dork, like them, but unlike them he’s in a happy relationship with the beautiful Kota Ibushi and they are in an unhealthy relationship with their own hand.
