I don't know what I've beaten more times, New Vegas or my meat. Either way that game stays installed on my PC, Steam Deck, Xboxes, everything. I ain't no fink, dig?

Honestly it's just amazing Obsidian was able to make that game's story and assets in 18 months with Bethesda looming over their necks.

Meh. Games are mature now. Classics are classics. Just like movies.

Also, funny meme.

It's the last good fallout game, how can we move on if things after it are subpar?

I tried to play it but it’s coded so fucking poorly that it would regularly crash and I also got bug really early on that meant I could never interact with this one NPC, and that bug is apparently in the bone-stock, unmodded game!

Bethesda just makes dogshit products and it’s a shame when the story seems interesting but, like, I have better things to do then have my mediocre game crash again.

I read that tweet as something that wasn't really about Fallout: New Vegas, and more as something using it as a vehicle for a joke (about adult women being nostalgic for the games they played as teenage boys).

I'll join in the controversy. New Vegas is fine, great game, way overhyped. It rolled straight from the initial sentiments (Fallout fan boys loved it on release and called it "the real fallout 3" and you can imagine the rest), into generous comparisons to every new game ("is Game X the next New Vegas?!") and straight into wistful nostalgia.

I liked Fallout 3 better. It's more goofy fun! I like exploring the DC ruins more than Yet Another Mad Max Apocolypse Desert. I liked the story line and (yes, the ending was silly and forced) but i liked how the plot wrapped up! I had finished all the side quests I wanted, it felt like a fitting end, a solid wrap up to a difficult life, where I'd made amends for the sins of the father and made a better wasteland.

I mean, then the BoS DLC replaced it with a non-ending so you could have Endless Adventure ™️ and I think that really set the tone for Bethesda's downfall. There's no one moment, but that DLC was a big sign that the philosophy of games internally was shifting. Fallout 4 was also enjoyable but to me went too far away from the RPG hybrid balance that FO3 had, imho, gotten perfect. The most vocal people wanted more RPG hence the cultish love for NV, but it seems the mainstream wanted more Action and hence the "tuh-ripple Ayyye" treatment of FO4 and subsequent games.

Same, they doubled down on funny parts of f2 which were cringe, and it looked like shit even 15 years ago, and the story is just so focused on

Add the map is extremely dense with events, there is an event every minute, very tiring.

That's a hell of a take, but I can kind of get it. It was definitely a mess at launch, and was a very different vibe from 3, which might rub you the wrong way if it's not what your preference is.

I do enjoy the shit out of it personally. Different strokes and everything though.

Wow that's an unpopular opinion for sure. You might get roasted for that one. What bugged you about it?
