Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.
It's funny when nostalgia kicks in with stuff you never even stopped doing (like games that I regularly replay from 20+ years ago, or music I still listen to).
How tf is Doom nostalgia, I last played it like a bit over a year, maybe 18 months ago? And yet it is.
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.
Yeah, Bethesda said "you guys only need 18 months to make this game, right?" and Obsidian leadership said, "Yep."
Try the Viva New Vegas modlist sometime if ever you feel inclined. Pretty sure there's a Wabbajack installer (one click install). I still think New Vegas is phenomenal, even with the bugs, and I suffered through about 700 hours of constant crashing on PS3.
I recognize, though, that most people aren't so head over heels for the game that they won't suffer to experience it, nor will they take the time to mod it. But man, it really is worth even playing on vanilla.
Meh. Games are mature now. Classics are classics. Just like movies.
Also, funny meme.
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
New Vegas
Vegas, you get it, they are in Vegas, Vegas, where the casinos are, with gamblers and games, in Vegas, you can gamble in Vegas, you understand?
Add the map is extremely dense with events, there is an event every minute, very tiring.
Minus the initial part about F2, this is basically how I feel. Stuff is always happening. I never get to enjoy the apocalypse.
