Anime Schoolgirl posted:for at least until wastelanders 76 was absolutely not better than 4 No, Wastelanders was bad. The parts of the game introduced by Wastelanders sucks rear end and retcons all of the previous adventures into being dumb and useless. The game was far better before the introduction of fail rear end npcs with long rear end procedural quest chains where your reward is some long rear end stationary audiolog from a sadboi or spacegirl.

Whirling posted:I do think that Fallout: New Vegas definitely is the better RPG of the 3D Fallouts, but yeah, it is weird how people have turned it into this rose emoji banner when there's no actual anti-capitalism in it either. Its fine to like things that aren't purely socialist, so I don't know why people need to do mental jujitsu to say that going down the Yes Man route means the Courier will implement socialism in the Mojave, rather than things being run by the gleefully capitalist ex-tribals that House brought in to run the casinos. It makes sense that a world where communism isn't an option just continuously destroys itself while just changing the names of the factions doing the destroying. And communism isn't an option because you're living in the remains of an ultra capitalist US where McCarthyism lasted 200 years and then everything got bombed back to the stone age. There's no chance anyone would find remnants of that ideology anywhere that isn't silly chinese ghoul soldiers.

What popular media, let alone video games, outside of DE and NV, even acknowledge that Karl Marx existed? It's an absurdly low bar.

There is a chinese ghoul soldier in Fallout 4. You can ree at him for being an evil red or help him out because its the nice thing to do. The entire minutemen plotline is doing mutual aid to other people who pay it forward, even mechanically. The last remnant of prewar US institutions explicitly does colonialism and slavery to maintain their higher standards of living. None of this poo poo matters because its a goofy videogame where you can maximize your luck so you can punch people in their head and coca cola bottlecaps fly out of their rectums.

I appreciate that it's an option to go "none of this poo poo matters anymore man" and you can just help him and let him go Also if we're talking communism it's in atomic heart and I thought it was an interesting choice to have the main character basically be gung ho about communism, he mostly just bitches about specific people not doing enough for the common man

Are TOTK bosses actually all huge chumps or did I just deflate their challenge factor by spending a billion hours doing sidequest stuff and getting heart containers and upgrading armor and getting better weapons before fighting them Fire Temple boss was the chumpiest chump yet. Beat that motherfucker on handheld mode in the waiting room at AAA.

they're all chumps, the random overworld hard enemies are stronger than most of the bosses i think it's cause like a little kid or something needs to be able to beat the bosses to beat the game but nobody ever has to beat a lynel so they could keep those as hard

I am unemployed and terminally depressed right now so I could use a good 4x but can’t afford to buy all of them I think

FF16's writing is starting to piss me off. they are doing my girls' Jill and Shiva dirty by making her job to literally everything. She jobbed in her own character arc and then immediately jobbed to Kupka out of nowhere without a fight

for that matter, some of the shrines have way harder puzzles than the temple puzzles too Fire Temple was like "ho ho ho, you have to get across this lava flow, but these platforms are floating in the wrong direction, solve this one" like I hadn't gotten through a shrine with three challenge-level versions of that puzzle thirty hours earlier

Leviathans, the new one Galactic Paragons, and Federations are tier 2. Everything else is niche. The base game has changed massively in the last two or three years too. Steam has a bundle with a few core DLCs in it right now if youve got cash to burn. Its an ok 'waste an evening optimizing' things game that hits similar to but slightly different from Civ, but not quite as convoluted as Hearts of Iron

I’m familiar with paradox games but mostly spent like a couple thousand hours on Vicky 2 and according to steam I only ever played Stellaris for about sixty back in 2016, and it appears to be very different now
