There was actually discussions of there being another obsidian fallout game very possibly on the horizon. After this I wouldn’t wanna work on this series anymore if I were them barring a “do whatever” clause concerning the setting. The show is fine It’s just a shame a lot of the fans had to learn there won’t be another of obsidian game in the most hilarious way possible.

if you want a good fallout game that doesn't have bethesda badness to it just play the old world blue mod for hearts of iron 4.

It doesn’t help that it’s running on the shittiest FPS engine imaginable. The game that came before it was so notoriously broken on PC that nobody could play it for close to a decade barring some form of open heart surgery on the client. in a hilarious way new Vegas was the only fallout FP game people could play for a few years unless you were playing the console versions of 3

I hope season 2 features a side character named Hodd Toward that nukes the Shady Sands crater again, and when someone asks him why he did it he just says "I was worried they didn't get the message the first time"

Love New Vegas. Also don't care that the Amazon Prime Falliut TV Show epically pwned the lore or maybe it didn't it just added new stuff or whatever. Who cares. It's hosed up that Jeff Bezos executed Ropekid on live TV but it is what it is

which fallout is best if I’m going to play one, and also what sort of game is it (in my head it's a first person shooter but from the way people talk about it I don't see how all the mechanics would fit in that format)

Imma be real with you. If you arnt gonna mod it, the Fallout 76 is gonna be the best Fallout experience available.

It is a first person MMO, always has been since FO3. It is literally Skyrim with guns.

nuking Shady Sands from out of the blue and with no good explanation goes against all of the themes that Fallout was built on. the NCR was wiped out because its existence was inconvenient to the story they wanted to tell with the show. the historicity is what made the Black Isle/Obsidian games great and all that history was destroyed out of nowhere. it’s literally blown up through a Vault-Tec rear end pull.

it’s impossible not to interpret it as an act of spite because the show could’ve been set anywhere in the United States, but it goes out of its way to reduce the original games to meaninglessness. just because “war never changes” doesn’t mean the world stays the same and nothing ever happens. it’s even the same story from the Bethesda games retold through the father/child dynamic.

if Walton Goggins hadn’t been cast it’d be unwatchable.

Goons will never have an opinion on media that isn't "caring about the story is gay nerd poo poo, being critical or negative in anyways is bad" so you're barking up the wrong tree

FO1 and 2 are worth playing to see where it all started, where Gaeten Dugas got his aids, and they aren’t big time investments considering most 90s games are pretty short. then if you aren’t modding probably 4 or 76. just roll a dice

the demented insistence on adherence to The Lore falls into the same category as people who do the hosed up Power Scaling analysis. It's people terrified of ambiguity, which is ultimately the unrealized fear of death. If the narrative decisions in a show upset you because of a game that preceded it, you probably need to meditate in your chamber with a decaying corpse for a few months to get over it.
