wish obsidian had the rights...as og fallout fan it really hurts to see what bethesda is doing to the franchise
why? almost nobody from obsidian has also worked on new vegas. and new vegas was and still is the buggiest fallout game ever made
the only bugs i remenber are related to running it on newer tech.
but the story and characters are awesome and it actually captures the fallout spirit, unlike f3/4/76.
there's no way f3/4/76 fail to capture the fallout spirit haha. what a weird statement to make
I guess you never played 1 and 2. And 76 has obviously no other connection to fallout than the name, some words and assets. It is like the anti-fallout.
There are plenty of games that feel true to their roots without needing to feel like the same thing. 1 and 2 came out almost 30 years ago. While they're good games, there are other ways to explore those kinds of stories than by just replicating those two.
thats my point for new vegas, different but still giving you the good vibes of the original.
f3/4 is missing that completelly. feels more like fanfiction, but not the good kind.
so for fallout to feel like fallout it needs dated cringy 90s related humor? despite the fact the game takes place hundreds of years after the 90s? cause that's fallout 2
and im guessing you never played 76
og fallout humor is timeless...
to my utmost shame I have to admit that I preordered it. it was not only a slap in the face for all fallout fans but also all gamers. bethesda put zero effort into this cashgrab.
theres no way you can see the detailed world and say thats zero effort. its like the best world bethesda has ever crafted. its huge, vaired, and interesting. regardless of the games own failings, its definitely not a zero effort release, otherwise they would have given up on it years ago
Oh no, there's absolutely effort put into the graphics. It's just everything else that's missing.
The overall writing and direction in Bethesda's games is piss poor as they haven't prioritized it in some time. Even TES suffers from this. But I guess that's more about the crowd they're trying to appeal to.
It's all cool if you like Bethesdas version of the Fallout world. But not everyone else subscribes to it.
And for reasons that are quite valid. As Beth' has deviated far from the roots of the franchise.
directly from my heart. on point, wish I could upvote more
You mean interplay? New Vegas is good but I've never thought it was so fundamentally different that bethesda was "hurting" the franchise as opposed to them.
new vegas was pretty close to the roots while bethesda just borrows terms and artwork, but is never able to combine it with a story and chars that give you that fallout feeling.
not arguing that they basically took a dead ip and created games loved by millions. but if you are looking for og fallout new vegas is the way to go.
