ymgve posted:isnt vault tek dropping the nukes mentioned somewhere in the games, or am i misremembering? then again, the fallout 3 ufo dlc apparently claims aliens did it so who knows I think it was implied yeah but it was always supposed to be ambiguous. I mostly didn’t like how the show handled it but it’s not a huge issue ADINSX posted:Can you give some examples? I loved fallout 1 and 2 as a kid but haven’t played them in 20 years probably, but I’m reading old docs and the vaults being social experiments (for example) goes back to the original games, it just wasn’t as big a plot point as it is now Im mostly talking about shady sands being nuked. NCR is supposed to be a mostly functioning government across several cities but the show implies that one nuke sent the entire west coast back into mad max. it makes sense though, what bethesda want from the franchise is fundamentally incompatible with fo1/2/nv having the wasteland be an already rebuilt world

I never saw the NCR as this super stable government even in fallout 2 (after all you could walk outside the city and basically do whatever, sure there was a karma system but getting into gunfights was pretty common. I could see a nuke or two wiping out that nascent government. I’m just happy they set it in California, since most of the new games are on the east coast.

Yeah a friend who works as a historian got given an Xbox One and I picked up AC Unity and AC Syndicate off eBay for a pittance each and gave them over as Xmas gifts with the advice to enjoy the effort that was put into the historical Paris and London open worlds, and if you like the actual games that's all extra.

the origins/odyssey/valhalla trio have a discovery mode which is a virtual walking tour of the period and region the games are set in with tons of voice work, art, and text that only exists in that mode

Zone One: it's a zombie book but it's "literary" (i.e., pretentious) so there's stuff like the protagonist always being referred to by both his first and last names, sometimes multiple times in one paragraph. read this book and you'll learn that society is bad, and that if you try to bring back the old world after the apocalypse, it's sort of like... a zombie! just a bad book, don't read it.

Sagacity posted:Thunderbolt sucks though. it's full of that step printed effect that every HK movie apparently required after the release of Chungking Express  idk if this was this particular rip or what, but the subtitles would go in and out of sync like a motherfucker, to the point where they'd be at least a second too early at times, and then be fine again appreciate the reporter stealing the Motocompo, that was fun the step-printing was used just so bizarrely! it makes no sense. all of the "destroy the tuning shop" set piece is done using it, which makes no goddamn sense, then he uses it in the entire middle third of the pachinko parlour fight, and then also randomly in the last third?! also appreciate Alfred being called Jackie at least twice so far, with 30 minutes left lol what a weird movie, and yet also 5 years before Fast & Furious! but also 5 after Days of Thunder... edit: lol

rotor posted:Fallout 5: Honolulu there are several promising fallout tc mods being made but the only island one is fallout: london i'm legitimately excited to see the work they put in. the next-gen update coming soon caused them to push back the release to ??? because fo:london was planning to release the 23rd and bethesda decided now was the time to announce their update for the 25th. the trailers have been promising, though, and it (and other tc mods) have gotten general nods from bethesda to keep on keeping on

ADINSX posted:It’s hard to imagine the fallout universe anywhere but America that's part of the allure, for me. there's been chatter for ages about what happened outside NA, but afaik there's not been a concerted effort to paint that picture that and the UK's cold war-era Protect and Survive art is used as a stand-in for vault boy and those faceless people are freaky as heck edit: there's also fallout: miami, which isn't as far along but has solid progress and a blend of style from the mid-century there Agile Vector fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Apr 17, 2024 |

I found the action of the first episode off-putting. not disturbing or anything just… boring and tedious. like we get it, they’re bad guys. just get on with the plot.
