Nationalism scares the shit out of me. Football (soccer to some of you) World cup comes round, you've got all these english nutters putting the flag of england up. As a migrant, I feel threatened. Flags and warpaint. Flags and warpaint. [sp]I'm a white Australian who's lived in England for more than half his life. You wouldn't even notice that I'm Australian unless i told you. [/sp]
I think Two and a Half Men is a pretty amusing show. Of course, it went downhill after Charlie Sheen was fired. New Family Guy is so much better than old Family Guy. It still pales in comparison to American Dad, however.
I do not care for the godfather..
Fallout 2 is a terrible game with unfunny jokes, grindy and needlessly hard (and not in a fun way like Dark Souls, it's just blatant cheating in the game's favor) gameplay, unfitting items and themes, and is all around just such a tedious slog I couldn't even beat it once. Fallout 1 is vastly, [i]vastly[/i] superior in just about every aspect.

Fallout 1 is vastly, [i]vastly[/i] superior in just about every aspect.[/QUOTE] I also don't think Fallout 2 is exactly the best Fallout game. I've played every Fallout game short of tactics and am currently midway through 2, and I have to say, despite how beloved it is, I think it's one of the lowest points of the series. Fallout 1 was an awesome, tight experience with great combat, quests, towns, characters, and voice acting, and there's really not much I could complain with about it. Fallout 2 is way bigger and more open but with that a lot less tight and a [I]lot[/I] less directed an experience. I like being free to figure shit out on my own, but Fallout 2 says hi, pls to GECK, and leaves you to figure out where and what to do to make the game over completely on your own, with almost no advice from NPCs. Not the [I]slightest[/I] bread crumb to lead you along. The towns are all boring as fuck. The first place you go is a small town with such thrilling events as a rat infestation, some guy needs help refueling a still, an idiot needs help guarding cows, and some idiot fucked off and got stuck in a cave. The second is also a small town with very little happening. The third is an even smaller town. Then you hit Vault City, and guess what, there's still jack and shit going on, except for the snooty in charge assholes who basically [I]tell you to go to another town and do IT'S main quest instead.[/I] Then, experience the thrill of mining towns, and proto-New Vegas. Man, I'm all the way in New Reno and it's still boring. As well, the game is just plain too hard. And y'know what, I know this is an old game so that's par for the course, but no, this is [I]too[/I] hard, with little opportunity for advancement. Wandering the wasteland is a fucking gamble. When you get stopped (and you will get stopped) it could either be something harmless, or absolute death. Most of the time it's absolute death, because whatever enemy you face, they fucking flood the map with that type of enemy most of the time. No matter how good you're doing, a pack of 10 dogs will rip your shit to shreds. And will be incredibly boring to watch as they each individually make their turns (And unfortunately, cranking the combat speed does nothing for me). Also the chance to hit anything is artificially incredibly small, at least until you've beefed up your weapon's skill to 100, gotten super close to the enemy, and it's in broad daylight. The barter system is so unforgiving (even to someone who SPECIALIZED IN BARTER) that for the first few hours, you can't really even buy anything. Considering how every merchant only has like 100 bucks, trade will dominantly be just be trading junk you got from the encounters that solved themselves, which can be about 8 guns per 2 stimpaks. Two of them. Once you [I]do[/I] get ahead in the game, it isn't really because you earned it. I have some great armor and weapons, but honestly, that's not because I did a quest to earn them, or even because I killed for it. It's because I got lucky near Reno and found some high level mobsters destroying some gang members, and then I looted them for high level guns then sold the surplus guns for some high quality armor. What am I, a wandering adventurer or a fucking scavenger, scurrying about like a lowly rat picking the scraps that I can? Sure, I could play the game to win and create the best character build and then luck out and get some of the best armor and weapons right away, but this is a fucking roleplaying game. I want to roleplay, and be my own character, and the game feels incredibly hostile to anyone who wants to do that. Right now I have to force myself to play it. Fallout 2 softens up the more you play, but for a very long time it's absolutely brutalfuck hard from shitty design that I wouldn't blame anyone for doing this instead; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5phl8p3euG4[/media] Long story short, despite it's decent humor, story, and kinda interesting characters, Fallout 2 is kinda sucky and boring and I don't know why it remains the most beloved part of the series, because it's much more interesting to look at and read about than actually play.
Now for a [I]truly[/I] unpopular opinion The 3D Fallouts are way better than the 2D ones

I agree, but only for the reason I can't control C-RPGs to save my life.

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;45106066]I also don't think Fallout 2 is exactly the best Fallout game. I've played every Fallout game short of tactics and am currently midway through 2, and I have to say, despite how beloved it is, I think it's one of the lowest points of the series.[/QUOTE] I think where it falls apart is the main quest. There's so many points in it that feel so impossible. It makes me kind of mad because you could kind of think your way to where Fallout's quest item was. First off your only lead - a supposed merchant selling Vault artifacts- turns out to be some fatass scam artist. He tells you to go to Vault City, where it's revealed that he bought it from another fatass who doesn't know shit. On the way you find a guy who says he knows where to look. You do his boring quest (you literally go back in forth from some towns a couple times, with a sidequest you only unlock with some stats) and he says [sp]fuck you I don't know where to look thanks for doing that though :byewhore:[/sp]. He tells you that there's six towns all over the map where he could have got it from and it could be one of them. What the fuck? What kind of clue is that? That's the majority of towns in the game, you'd have just made more progress by walking all over the place. You can only get the real clue (which is mostly a joke message and doesn't put much on your map) from a computer that only activates with high Science. After stumbling your way to NCR, there are two ways to get into Vault 13. The first can only be done with high IN or science or something. The one that makes sense is to talk to a treasure hunter who said he found it. He's on a guarded ranch, but apparently you can get in by saying you're looking for work. Okay, sure. You can learn that the rancher has work available for several people. The dialogue option to say you need work only unlocks if you talk to the sheriff, who looks exactly like a bunch of 'empty' NPCs who are also randomly standing on street corners. I would have never gotten that in a million years. Why do I need to wait for the sheriff to tell me so if I already know? Anyway, so you go back to your starting spot after getting a psychic distress call (really) and it turns out that [sp]it doesn't even matter what you did because your village is dead lol.[/sp] Your only clue is that the bad guys went to the ocean. What is with this game's shitty clues? You can find bits and pieces of foreshadowing about them, but it doesn't tell you anything about them but their existence. Now this is a point in the game where progress is literally by wandering until you find something. Wandering is difficult in this game, because you either have a car (the quest to get it is really boring) with super expensive fuel, or you walk and get hundreds of encounters. The next place in the game is San Francisco, by the way. People mention it if you meet certain requirements, but nobody recalls that the bad guys are near there or that there's a way to get to the ocean from there or anything like that. You can't even get SF on your map without picking up an easy to miss holotape after fighting through a dungeon with dozens of the hardest enemies. This dungeon can only be found by wandering. Getting it on your map still doesn't tell you why you should even go there. When I first reach Vault City and the quest petered out on me like that, it was the most frustrating thing. 2 had a cool story but it's so much work.
I think Fallout:BoS is the best Fallout [sp]Just kidding I'm not stupid[/sp]
I hate watching esports and most lets plays.
New Vegas blows FO3 out of the water in literally every way. Bethesda is pretty awful and incompetent and the only reason they are still relevant is because they're riding the tide of success of the Elder Scrolls series (which means thanks to a certain group of fans which Beth has long abandoned because money.)

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;45105331]Boo hoo [editline]14th June 2014[/editline] Okay that's pretty harsh, hold on. If you can't handle the [I]extremely[/I] mild jokes at the expense of you or your shitty LP maybe just not make LPs. It's hardly like they're telling LPers to kill themselves or get raped or whatever.

[editline]15th June 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Smug Bastard;45108874]Alien 3 wasn't [i]that[/i] bad.[/QUOTE] [I]that bad[/I] relative to what world war 2? in that case, yeah.
Since Fallout is such a big thing on this page: I think Fallout in another country like Canada or the UK or wherever would be interesting and I don't much see the problem with it, other than leaving every group behind. It would be cool for a spinoff game.

You just made your case against yourself. You don't know who's on the other side of that screen. I'm all for being blunt when criticizing other people - sometimes you need to be harsh in order to emphasize a point and lead them to bettering themselves. That's completely different from making fun of their material. "Hey, get a load of this guy! He's an idiot that doesn't know how to make proper let's plays! What an awkward weirdo." That's what his episodes really scream to me. Imagine there was a socially awkward kid that would come home after being bullied to sit alone in his room and make Let's Plays. Then these guys show up and rip it to shreds. The original creator isn't asking for it - he's just making them and out of nowhere these guys show up and ruin everything. And who cares if they can get rid of their videos? There's tons of people re-uploading material on YouTube all the time. I have a personal bias though: I'd be bullied at school and then come home to be bullied on the internet. That stuff messes with you, man.
Fallout 3 was a better game than fallout NV. Not because of game mechanics or the increased amount of content anything like that, but by other things such as level design. New vegas just fell short.
Why not both? Fallout Tale of Two Wastelands lets you play both with the same character.
I liked Thief 2014
[QUOTE=The Jack;45109424]Fallout 3 was a better game than fallout NV. Not because of game mechanics or the increased amount of content anything like that, but by other things such as level design. New vegas just fell short.[/QUOTE] I think both games are quite balanced in terms of pros and cons.

I can understand not liking the atmosphere or preferring FO1's main quest (the master was pretty damn cool) but the game does feel really empty and unfinished. Being empty and generally desolated makes sense considering how long it's been since the war but when you look at the levelling it's obvious that it was never meant to be that short, most of the perks are never used and there's very little weapon variety. As for being hard, there's not much of a difference between the two besides the fact that things get way more OP and higher level in FO2, but again so does you. I dare say that the old games are actually quite easy given the way the skill system works, being percentage based means that you can savescum your way out of literally everything, you can't do that in the newer games.
Several disagreements, maybe a few agreements incoming. To be honest, I really don't like Skyrim at all. It's just does not fit for me. I would rather go play Team Fortress, much better game. I would really also go back to Half-Life, absolutely perfect. I love the old style graphics in the old games! The story line of Half-Life fits well enough. Fallout 3, great game. New Vegas, worse than the third, but I would say it's coming to have several pros. I also would want to go back to play Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, it's better than Call of Duty, a lot better. Call of Duty: Ghosts is horrible, I am sure people would agree with me on that. Call of Duty 3 and 4 are my favourite games. Trackmania is a great series so far, hope they never ruin that! Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 is a good war game. I could recommend that. The valve games (but Dota 2) I would definitely recommend. No no for Dota 2, I don't like it at all. Goat Simulator.. well.. you goat around. The Sniper Elite series I will go back to play. Go play the POSTAL series, you'll love them! They are absolutely great in my opinion.
80% of those are popular opinions though. Personally I enjoyed the fuck out of Fallout 3, with all it's problems.
