[QUOTE=The golden;50954806]It's done by priority. If you need a doctor badly, you won't wait long to see one. Having spent fucking years worth of time in hospitals and doctors officers for sick family members - I can attest to this.
But if your issue is minor and can wait then you probably will wait because people with more pressing issues come first.
Yeah it's not really ideal but at least you WILL get seen no matter what and you won't be tens of thousands in debt.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I know, I wasn't ragging on it or anything. I'm very glad to live where I do. All I was saying is that it isn't perfect like users talking about it before were implying
Not sure if it's unpopular, but I think ban-me's are nothing but attention whoring and should not be paid any attention. If you don't want to post anymore, you can just stop posting, you don't have to throw a melodramatic tantrum.

New Vegas is the best Fallout.

Isn't that the general consensus, at least among the non casual gamer niche?

I think a lot of people might argue fallout 1 or 2, but, a lot of people haven't played them.
Among the 3d fallouts, new vegas is by far the best, 3 and 4 are fucking garbage, I'd argue. Combats dull as always, but the world and story in those two fail to make up for that as other fallouts and good elder scrolls games do.
Fallout 4 started to be good once i started to see it as farcry fallout edition rather than an rpg
[QUOTE=SirJon;50956593]Isn't that the general consensus, at least among the non casual gamer niche?[/QUOTE]
Is it? People seem to love the hell out of Fallout 2 more. And believe me, I don't blame them for thinking that. I should give that one another play, probably might change my opinion.
Skyrim was an excellent game, and I never really understood how a large sub-group of people formed who thought that it was total tripe and garbage.
The game continues to the series' longtime legacy of creating a massive, well thought-out and memorable world, with an absolutely wonderful soundtrack that just goes on for hours and hours without wearing out it's welcome. Similar to past games in the series it removed some features, added other features, it improved on combat, etc.
It sorta makes me sad to see all the people (the groups who's taken the game's existence as an offense to an industry itself) constantly launch tirades against the game. If you dislike story or gameplay elements that's quite fine, but it's incredibly silly to me to be treating the game like it's a Sonic 06 tier garbage heap when in reality it's a fusing of a lot of artistic tapestries and musical talents.

the world is empty, the combat is lackluster, difficulty is just health*2, it was full of bugs (no idea now), voice acting is bad
OST was the only thing I can say I truly enjoy about it, otherwise it just feels really repetitive and empty. Paired with how drab and desaturated it looks, it just feels kind of boring. So much world with nothing actually happening in it.
[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;50957445]the world is empty, the combat is lackluster, difficulty is just health*2, it was full of bugs (no idea now), voice acting is bad[/QUOTE]
I never minded the whole 'empty world' schtick because I never felt that way. In place of having more stock NPCs who said nothing or copy/pasted text from every other NPC (ala Morrowind), there are fewer NPCs in cities and towns, but most of them have some form of unique dialog.
Combat (unless you're playing on console) is at it's best in the game. It's a hundred times more intuitive than Morrowind (for new players, at least) and a hundred times more fluid than Oblivion.
Patching the game fixes most things of course (I'm no bug hunter or tester so if I'm not running into anything major I don't really care) and as for the voice acting, it never made me cringe or thought it brought down any dialog in a ruined way, so I was fine with it. Now they do re-use the same voice actors a hella lot, but that's not what you mentioned.
Most 'bad things' people list about the game are very subjective, and I just think it's always strange when they do list their opinions as though everyone feels that way.
If you strongly dislike the game that's totally fine, but my issue is when people act as though you're (ruining the series or doesn't have REAL taste) if you don't agree with their bullet points of detractors for the game.
At this point though this is an unpopular opinion though, hence my originally posting it.
Well, while I'm on my weekly fp visit I may as well add another unpopular opinion before I forget about posting it for another month.
The Witcher series, as a whole, is pretty overrated to me. I don't understand when people throw awards at the series feet as though the games do something marvelous and unexpected with each release.
The original Witcher release as a pretty fun game, sure traveling the maps riddled with objects you couldn't navigate through could be reasonably compared to torture, the UI was as clunky as expected, the voice acting as convincing as a high school play, and the combat a weird rhythm mini-game, but the game had heart, and benefited from it. It was charming, with a unique atmosphere that kept me playing.
The moment they got that budget though the gloves were off and the series became much less of it's own 'thing' and began to borrow as much as it could from other games, losing a lot of that atmosphere. The Witcher 2 was a good game again, but it's strangely uninspired combat, super atypical 'lemme grab 30 leathers to play crafting more' made me feel like the devs just sorta said fuck it and began taking inspiration from too many other games. The music felt less standout and unique, as did the gameplay.
While I definitely enjoy the series as a whole, I feel like the Witcher 3 has to come with planets-aligned in order for it to meet the expectations [I]I should[/I] have for the game, due to all the awards that have been thrown at it during every major gaming event.

It's just the manifestation of Bethesdas devolution of RPG. The more traditional RPG nieche feels forgotten and let down by Beth, who went for the more profitable, 'sell out' approach.
Skyrim isn't bad by any means but it has all the characteristics of a game developed for the watered down, mass market. It's less about enthusiasm and love for the craft, and more about what the stockholders want.

disappointment is directly proportional to excitement. The reason people greatly dislike Skyrim is because they expected a colorful and engaging adventure set in the unforgiving northlands - a worthy sequel to Oblivion - and what they got was a completely empty experience studded with awful characters and questlines that were basically chorelists.
And the mechanics are bad. They're [i]bad.[/i] The lack of a class system androgenizes each character, lategame balance reveals a hilarious lack of design foresight, 75% of the game's perks are "do 10% more damage with [weapon]", and boss fights are headache-inducing healthbar endurance contests. The first 5 hours of gameplay are well-designed - just enough to sell copies - and it falls apart immediately after that as you realize that the entire game, as large as it is, mostly just consists of the same exact stuff over and over again.
So I'm playing the first Splinter Cell right now and mechanically this is just leagues better than the original MGS. The narrative is utter tripe, but the gameplay isn't clunky and awkward at least.
but splinter cell is unbelievably clunky
Less than MGS.
Skyrim to me is like watching a bad stage play, and seeing only the actors, not their characters. The facade doesn't hold up, I'm always seeing right through the AI. Every time a merchant tells me they sell "the best weapons and armor" for the umpteenth time, there's another bit of immersion lost. Every time Lydia delivers one of her one-size-fits all lines ("I've never seen anything like THAT!"), she feels more like a script than a real companion. Same with the loads of painfully easy, 'ancient' puzzles, or the dark brotherhood kid that gets more famous for sitting alone in his basement than you do when killing hundreds of dragons
I don't like the bleak aesthetic or the voice acting, but that's not what makes Skyrim mediocre for me. It's the lack of care and attention to detail that really kills it
why the fuck are the peasants scared of dragons when they are a better shot than you are
fallout 1/2 sucks imho*
*because of its age
I have never liked a band with a female vocalist
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;50961612]I'm actually really torn over how I would love to play both games and enjoy them but I simply can't. The gameplay is not for me, it embodies almost everything I don't like.
Same with Morrowind.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;50960381]I was quite breathtaken with just how complex the game was, [I]especially[/I] for its time.
That series lost a lot when it went to 3D.[/QUOTE]
Games that old transcend time with quality and yet they're too dated to be enjoyable outside of people with an addiction to that era of gaming
The modern equivalent of something like zelda 1 for example, would be closer to witcher 3 maybe. Nothing captivated adventure like Zelda 1 during its time and yet its impossible for me to enjoy.

Oh daughter is pretty great, little dragon is absolutely stellar
voices are just an instrument and people don't know how to mix the sound properly

Here's an unpopular opinion: Turn based combat fucking sucks.
I love Jagged Alliance, I love everything about that game... Except for the combat. I fucking hate it. And it's such a big part of the game, and it's sooooo tedious.
Only female vocalist band I've ever enjoyed is Wild Flag.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;50959580]I have never liked a band with a female vocalist[/QUOTE]
does Chromatics count? because if so, i think having a female vocalist actually adds more to the type of music they make

if they made a 3D Fallout with the complexity of the original games, I'd probably give it a shot
As it stands, the originals are just too outmoded and esoteric for me
but 2D games are better than 3D games
isometric graphics are the pinnacle of video game visual design

Even more unpopular opinion.
Real time combat in isometric RPG's is fucking garbage, especially Diablo 2.
It just feels like a clusterfuck.
