I think that the fallout raging about something that might or might not have happened to something that doesn't exist might be the dullest culture convo I've ever seen

KirbyKhan posted:Imma be real with you. If you arnt gonna mod it, the Fallout 76 is gonna be the best Fallout experience available. Xaris posted: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 thanks, I'll prolly go with 76 then

indigi posted: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) FO4 has the better gameplay and exploration can be fun, but the story and characters are bland as heck (except the detective) FNV has the better setting and writing, and tries to build upon older games and narratives. also the voice actors are much better. Lt Rawls as Caesar made him the obvious choice in my first play-through

Mantis42 posted: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 the focus on black isle/obsidian lore getting violated is sort of burying the lede, which is that the show contradicts Bethesda’s games too. again just from the first episode, the vault door for 32/33 is right along the coastline and you can see a pier with a waterfront in it, so it wasn’t concealed at all. the whole point of the vaults is that they’re supposed to be hidden from the outside world to maintain control in Vault-Tec’s behavioral experiments. anybody walking along the coast could’ve found it and tried to crack it open. and again with character behaviors not making sense: vaults 32 & 33 only interact on occasion to exchange goods and mating pairs, and it’s something they’ve always done. shouldn’t they notice that none of vaults 32’s representatives are recognizable? the fatalities from the grain blight doesn’t explain it away either, because one of the raiders has a full body tattoo that’s peeking out of his vault suit. plus, they think vault 32 has a grain blight but they make no effort at all to control for it. they let the vault 32 party come in without even closing the door. it’s one thing if it’s just dumb fun where 33 was invaded cuz woke DEI HR management, but I shouldn’t have my suspension of disbelief being broken constantly like this. and it’s not played like a joke. it’s just not funny.

I think it's very serviceable for a while-jogging-on-the-treadmill show but then again, this is my first exposure to Fallout anything. I’m sure if you come in with an affinity for the setting, that could make it basically unwatchable, which stinks. the showrunner can't write very well, I'd be so sad if his next project was an adaptation of FE3H

I do actually like the way the Brotherhood is depicted. being a Faith Militant is more in line with what they were supposed to be, and I like the implications of what happened to the Brotherhood after their turn to fascism in 4.

I'd say start with New Vegas if you want a 3D Fallout; it's got the best balance of content and gameplay straightforwardness

new vegas unfortunately is extremely ugly, even with mods, and the UI is incredibly xbox 360-era and painful to use. also soooo many loading screens

gameplay is dated, but yeah the meat of the content is just doing the quests and they are the nicest in the series. I just think the idea of MIT nerds reinventing slavery after the end of the world in the city that was the lodestar of american abolitionism is cool.

none of you should play New Vegas because you’re not worthy of it. it’s too smart for you. your puny little peasant minds can’t even comprehend it. the LAST thing you should do is buy and play it. you should play Fallout Brotherhood of Steel instead.

at a certain point it's funny how Bethesda handles stuff in Fallout. like 76 takes place 20 years after the war in West Virginia, but we gotta put the same stuff in everything so we got Supermutants because uhhh there was a town that got experimented on so that's why they're here. and uhhhhhh the guy who made the Brotherhood of Steel talked to a lady on the radio so they're here too. one of the more fun parts of NV is how they have plenty of recognizable stuff but the Legion is totally new, the BoS are losers drying up in a bunker, there's only a few Supermutants and some Nightkin but they're not flooding the desert. the NCR aren't total good guys, they're an overstretched inefficient bureaucracy staffed with people cashing a check. when they ask you to come talk with them the guy you meet is a dead-end employee in a dingy office who hates his job, it's perfect.

three of the four factions in fallout 4 were newer creations. Its cool that MIT nerds create a tech utopia and use it to create slavery and do american destabilization options against their competition.
