I like FO3 more than 1 and 2, but NV much more than 3. I don't really like 4. The writing in NV outclasses everything Bethesda has ever done. I think it's more because I dig first person perspectives and simulated real-time worlds, top down isometric has never been able to properly immerse me. I guess I'm a fan of Bethesda's intent behind their games, not necessarily all the ways in which they execute it.

shooting someone with a single shot weapon in Fallout 2 and blowing out their shoulder and hearing them groan and fall down is one of the most satisfying kills in video game history. It's up there with killing Doom 2's arachnotrons

I remember reading pre-release promo articles about Morrowind and they kept hyping up how it had this fully-featured editor that was the same as the tools the devs used to make the game and how they envisioned people using it to make their entire own games from scratch and lol at that never happening until like 3 games later when it happened once.

Bethesda's intent to keep using the same game engine that Dark Age of Camelot runs on

QuarkJets posted:Bethesda's intent to keep using the same game engine that Dark Age of Camelot runs on It's roots go as far back as Daggerfall and Terminator Future Shock. Grid-based layouts with an overworld, separate interiors and teleporter doors to travel between them all. In a way Fallout 3 is as much a spiritual successor to Terminator Future Shock/Skynet as it is the legal successor to Fallout 2. It's a bit uncanny how similar they feel at times; navigating a post apocalyptic landscape, coming across an old wreck of a gas station, using the door to be confronted with a loading screen. Who wants to bet Starfield still has loading screens when you enter buildings?

It didn't age well at all, but the first South Park game on the Nintendo 64 kicked rear end.

i loved fallout 1 & 2 at the time but honestly they don't really hold up imo. tried to play 2 when it was given away free a few months ago and it's just too janky and annoying. it could do with a remake.

It sucks because I loved the Hitman games back in the day but I just couldn't see myself doing that poo poo over and over anymore. "I 100%ed the tutorial and then returned it" is definitely a take

Have you tried Underrail? it's basically Fallout meets Ultima Underworld and is considered pretty good. It's not the same, but still worth a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgAn68Uy2jQ Beginner's guide if you find yourself interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yRLQHNRW8g

I’m not sure what the general opinion of Skyrim is now but I thought it was pretty fun at the time. Pretty crazy that Bethesda still haven’t put out another one. Would have thought it sold enough to justify making it a priority to follow up. At least with gta 5 it’s made so much money from the online portion that they wouldn’t want to rush to replace it.

I played it at release and thought it was really good. Going from running from dragons to actually being able to take one down was a legit epic gaming moment. However I never finished it. Couldn't seem to beat the final boss with my build and the rest of the game starts to show its repetitive nature the longer you stay in it. It was cool but I never felt like playing it ever again and nor am I particularly interested in another elder scrolls game

how can you be unable to beat a boss in a game that lets you hold infinite hp + mp potions and drink them instantly from the pause menu unless it's oneshotting you
