[QUOTE=JohhnyCarson;49286210]I dont watch anime[/QUOTE] Tis a fact
[QUOTE=JohhnyCarson;49286210]I dont watch anime[/QUOTE] This isn't even an opinion?
[QUOTE=Alice3173;49286391]This isn't even an opinion?[/QUOTE] I disagree with him. In my opinion, JohnnyCarson watches all the anime
[QUOTE=JohhnyCarson;49286210]I dont watch anime[/QUOTE] considering your interest in theology, i'd recommend evangelion
Nah I tried. I get nothing from it. As for theology, no I don't have an interest in it. Did I have some spiritual experiences? Yes. So I am trying to come up with ideas that reflect what I learned. It is one of the reasons why I think good emotional health is so important. laugh at it if you will, but I see nothing wrong about "being healthy" as a revelation. It is in it self, a positive message. I mean its better then "kill all gay people" or "convert or go to hell." Those ideas I believe are rubbish any ways.
You don't need a whole explanation, but you do need a reason why your opinion should be considered valid. You can't say you dislike a game when you haven't even played it. People often forget this is a thing.
But we do have people defending Fallout 4 who haven't played it.
[QUOTE=The golden;49287904]People can like and dislike whatever they hell they want. They shouldn't have to explain themselves to anybody. If a person doesn't like something then whether or not their opinion is considered "valid" isn't going to matter because they will dislike or like that thing no matter what. And really, if a person dislikes a game before playing it or dislikes a genre of music without listening to every sub-genre and sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-genre then who really cares? Such things impact the lives of literally nobody.[/QUOTE] It's not an issue to have those opinions as long as you don't state them like they're fact Example: "fallout 4 is shit" Is it objectively shit? No. Is that an opinion you hold? Yes, but maybe rephrase it so you don't look like a pessimistic cunt. [editline]10th December 2015[/editline] And there are people who say putting "I think..." before those is pointless because it's the person saying it so obviously it's their opiniom, but again unless you intend to sound like a douche maybe stick to phrasing it clearly

Just don't go around pushing it on other people. I don't like Game of Thrones, I don't go around proclaiming it to the world just because I don't like it. I also don't like coffee. Not gonna gut someone with a differing opinion. /shrug Seriously, coffee is just blurgh to me.

I find the stuff repulsive and I think I'd rather eat gravel than consume coffee. On the other hand, I adore tea. Then again, I'm British so I think people presumed that anyway.
Fallout 4 doesn't give me that "this game is amazing oh my god" feeling (you know the one) like New Vegas did, but I'm still having a ton of fun with it and it'll be a long time before I stop playing it. Especially with the modding community already exploding. [editline]10th December 2015[/editline] On the subject of coffee, I absolutely adore the flavor and I crave it constantly. I can't drink it any more because caffeine gives me panic attacks but I can't stop wanting it. :saddowns:
Kojima should collaborate with Telltale for a Snatcher reboot.
Fallout New Vegas is still the best kiss my ass haters
[QUOTE=Wriok;49288435]Fallout New Vegas is still the best kiss my ass haters[/QUOTE] this is the popular opinion
Tea is practically dirt water. edit: spot the tea drinkers
[QUOTE=Anderan;49289102]Tea is practically dirt water.[/QUOTE] Same with coffee. It's basically mashed beans mixed with hot water. Doesn't stop me from being addicted to it thought.
[QUOTE=Anderan;49289102]Tea is practically dirt water.[/QUOTE] water is also dirt water. since, you know, it comes out of the ground. Tap water is basically dirt tea.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;49289449]water is also dirt water. since, you know, it comes out of the ground. Tap water is basically dirt tea.[/QUOTE] I disagree. Its dino piss.
[QUOTE=Wriok;49288435]Fallout New Vegas is still the best kiss my ass haters[/QUOTE] I still think New Vegas is the best one but I'll be damned if 4 didn't actually make the FPS part of the FPSRPG.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;49289449]water is also dirt water. since, you know, it comes out of the ground. Tap water is basically dirt tea.[/QUOTE] dirt water = dirty unfiltered water. Where it came from is irrelevant. Salt water is salt water because it has salt in it, not because it came out of salt.
I think FO4 with mods will eventually become a better game than NV with mods the settlement system provides a lot of space for dynamic narratives and freeform gameplay [QUOTE=Anderan;49289529]dirt water = dirty unfiltered water. Where it came from is irrelevant. Salt water is salt water because it has salt in it, not because it came out of salt.[/QUOTE] there is no dirt in tea even if there was, if you can't stand a little dirt in your food you don't belong on earth

[QUOTE=Anderan;49289102]Tea is practically dirt water.[/QUOTE] Do you know what tea leaves are? [editline]10th December 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Anderan;49289611]I'm using hyperbole to say I don't like tea.[/QUOTE] Oh, nevermind [editline]10th December 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Samiam22;49289511]I still think New Vegas is the best one but I'll be damned if 4 didn't actually make the FPS part of the FPSRPG.[/QUOTE] Fallout 4 is leagues ahead of 3 and NV in terms of gunplay/gameplay, combat, movement, etc. But NV really is the best when it comes to the plot and narrative. 4 suffers from the same thing Skyrim did: You're playing an already established character, which takes the R out of RPG, really, even if you could just excuse it with a statement like "oh but you can still role-play as someone else", it is still up to the developers themselves to engage the player with a character that garners interest, rather than writing them off as either the usual "I am soldier man, me great-great-granpappy fought in dubla-dubla-ya TWO, now war don't change!" or his almost non-existent wife, the housewife/lawyer-who-isn't-a-lawyer-because-baby. Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas pulled off the player character very well, making you the "chosen one" but at the same time your entire background (save for a few basic elements) doesn't exist until you step into the player character's shoes, and the world doesn't revolve around you once you get out there. Oh! To make matters worse, you're still depended on to be the hero at the end of it all (just like in Skyrim). Even though you can (SPOILER ALERT) [sp]fuck over a faction, leave the other to die, and stick with the final one. You are still the absolute hero that saved the Commonwealth.[/sp] The connection between your character and the main objective feels really cheap, tacked on, and isn't very interesting or positively engaging. I mean come on, who really gave a damn about the player character's family throughout the game? I spent 160 hours on my first character, and the majority of that time went to exploring, looting, exploring, helping settlements, exploring, and doing any side quests I could find. I remember coming across the work board in Diamond City after finishing the main quest, and I'd been told I could go after bounties posted on said board. Oddly enough, there were none, and I have a feeling that's because I went out and killed all of the major raider leaders long before that point. When it comes to the ending, I really, truly, honestly (more spoilers, hold onto your butts) [sp]did not give a shit about Father, your son, dying. I really couldn't. It was so damn underwhelming. Even Fallout 3 had a more enjoyable ending.[/sp] I'm currently on my second character, gonna choose a different side, and see how that works out. Hopefully for the better. I feel that Bethesda did take notes from Obsidian, New Vegas, and the player base over the last few years. But it seems like Bethesda took those notes, ripped them up, and only stuck with a few legible words they could glue back together. As a base, Fallout 4 could have a great plot built into it with a few tweaks here and there, like say, if Ron Perlman (the narrator/news anchor in FO4) could have narrated the intro instead of the player character. The PC also could have gotten their family into the vault somehow, by chance, or maybe they could have still served in the military (male or female PC, doesn't matter) and gotten in that way. Then, instead of (more major spoilers) [sp] seeing your spouse get murdered and child taken away, both the spouse and baby could've ended up in the wasteland due to some malfunction with the cryo pods, along with other former neighbors. Then the PC could just leave confused, rather than thirsty for revenge.[/sp] A diverging plot would've been great too, or at least more choices having a heavier impact on the main plot. This is asking for a lot, but the plot really could've been a whole lot better.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;49290066]Yeah on reddit and facepunch maybe. P.S. I like NV too btw don't take this post the wrong way [editline]10th December 2015[/editline] But you don't play an established character in Skyrim, the only backstory is "you're a prisoner", which is literally the backstory for every TES player character since Morrowind, everything else about the character is up to you. If you don't want the Dragonborn™ super powers just don't do the main quest, it's boring anyway, as well as terribly written and short, it's not even 5% of the game.[/QUOTE] Well, you [i]end up[/i] a prisoner at the start of Arena, but no one really remembers Arena.
I don't like when bacon is mixed with other things, especially not burgers. I like it just by itself.

I don't like many competitive games at all. Especially not shooters. It's just so much fucking noise. Constant gunfire sounds, people constantly talking shit on each other, explosions, whatever. I don't put in enough time to be any good at them or whatever so the experience for me mostly involves dying over, and over, and over again, against people who do sink dozens and dozens of hours in to them and can shoot you with a sniper before their eyes have actually transmitted that you're there to their brains. It's just not fun for me, it literally induces headaches.
Codename: Gordon is a funny game.

There is literally always something you should be doing. 100% stress. [sp]I also think the starcraft universe is a stupid 40k knockoff that got too popular for its own good but that's just me[/sp]
