The flex of giving you the glue gun right off the bat, basically daring you to start trying to break the game, was a masterful bit of game design.

And then later you get to turn into a cup and poo poo and the real sequence breaking begins

the outer worlds has decent enough bones that if they focused all of their energy into making a game the scale and modability of fallout new vegas theyd knock it out of the park. instead theyre making two half open world games that will bum out the people who liked new vegas, again

lmao yeah. Just make everything moddable lah. Todd howard's biggest mistake was picking up fallout instead of letting it die in the dumpster. Entire generations of people gonna watch hbomber guy videos on fallout 3 and New Vegas and think this is the peak of politcal action.

i think the factions in fnv make me like the game more than 3/4 but that's mostly because it makes playthroughs of the game different. fallout 3/4 always play the same no matter what

idk why people need to be mad at fo3 to think new vegas was better. theyre both good! and new vegas had the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of fo3 or else it would have been a much worse game

I do not think Fallout 3 was very well written but I also think hbomberguy should be thrown off the side of the Grand Canyon (New Vegas reference soyface!!!!) for inflicting thousands of video essay brained people on Fallout discussions. In the good old days those people were restricted to No Mutants Allowed and we were all the better for it

Fallout 3 had some issues but it sold millions of copies and made Bethesda a bunch of money so I guess those issues didn't stop anyone from buying the game

Fo3 felt like a short rear end game from the single play through I did. When I got out of the vault i did the typical open world thing of picking a direction to explore it just so happens the direction it took me to was Dad and I beat the game very quickly compared to scrolls games.

yeah it’s not good. very janky, poorly written, gameplay was really clunky, has that lovely Xbox 360 era bloom, but most importantly just does not have any meat on the bone

basically the only video game director that's any good at cinematography is kojima. it's amazing how bad other game directors are at like basic shot composition. most of them are worse than like michael bay movies and it's very funny that these companies spend millions of dollars to make just absolute poo poo that's like a little kid playing with dolls

This is kind of on purpose though because they were trying (unsuccessfully) to recapture the magic of the FMV sequences from Need for Speed : Most Wanted (2005) featuring Razor Callahan.

Tango Gameworks getting shut down is painful as hell. The only game of theirs I was lukewarm on was Tokyo Ghostwire and that was more from me not being a fan of open-world games, not because it was bad. The Evil Within games were good and Hi-Fi Rush was an all-timer. Absolutely not a studio that deserved to be axed.

What the gently caress Tango did Evil Within? 2 was insanely good, what an outrage

People revisit FO3 but its with Tale of Two Wastelands. And NV in terms of playercount is a distant third compared to skyrim and FO4.

so what you’re saying is people only play Fallout 3 if they can also be playing New Vegas at the same time.

because games rarely get the same amount of press for their 1.0 release (if they release at all) as they do when they go to EA

the whole system is backwards, folks!
