I cared about it up until I saw the 10th movie that played this, then it got stale really quickly.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46061096]If you're bad at Fo3/NV hacking, you don't know how it works.
If you know how it works, you can get it everytime, but so many people don't know how it works and it doesn't do a good job of explaining in-game.[/QUOTE]
The hacking is simple enough not to get wrong most of the time (since it's really, very easy to understand when you start hacking). But in NV, at least in my experience, it's either bugged or broken.

I played Fallout 3 three times and Fallout NV twice. Still don't get it.
I never noticed any sort of pattern, so I just resorted to clicking random words until it unlocks.

On the bright side, all computers have the same difficulty: RNG.

Not really.
The first number is the amount of letters you got right in the order they come in. You just have to guess the first one, and then piece together the letters that you got right. If you click a word and it goes 0/9, that means none of the letters in that word appear in the order of the password, but if it's 7/9, that means all but two of the letters are in the correct sequence.
Fallout New Vegas is objectively better and more enjoyable than Fallout 3 in every way I can think of.
Runescape is better than any Fallout game.

[sp] i joke pls no hurt me[/sp]
I think both FO3 and NV are terrible and yes, i played through and beat both so it's not an unfounded opinion based off of ten minutes of playing.

That's far from unpopular.
Now a real unpopular opinion is how I think FO3 is more enjoyable then New Vegas. :v:
Really? I keep hearing that Fallout New Vegas is shit.
[QUOTE=40kplayer;46062993]Really? I keep hearing that Fallout New Vegas is shit.[/QUOTE]
depends on the people you're talking to about it. I'm in the camp that NV is good though.
Fallout 1 is better than all of them, including 2
now who agrees with THAT shit
This one's a bit heavy, but I don't think we should be encouraging the dehumanisation of people who are part of ISIS, or anyone really for that matter.

I actually found NV really boring. I beat FO3 but I only got like two hours into NV before losing interest in it.

How the fuck is it objectively better? Most of the criteria for judging the quality of a game are subjective.

More guns
better writing
Better story
More intresting characters
livelier world
Follows the lore better
i think halo:reach was the best halo, followed very closely by halo 3

Combat Evolved would like a word with you
[QUOTE=Widow Engie;46064337]Combat Evolved would like a word with you[/QUOTE]
It's a game so I'm fairly confident it'd make for an awfully boring conversational partner.

All except the first and the last are subjective criteria, and also you can't expect FO3 to have such rigid adherence to the lore when it's in an entirely new setting for the Fallout universe.
[QUOTE=Widow Engie;46064337]Combat Evolved would like a word with you[/QUOTE]
Combat Evolved had a couple of optimal weapons, the pistol and plasma rifle being stand outs. Reach and Halo 3 didn't have any weapons that just dominate everything else, the plasma pistol and pistol/battle rifle combo was pretty powerful but it didn't dominate everything.

yeah because the Brotherhood being the unequivocal good guys and the Enclave being the unequivocal bad guys totally doesn't fuck with lore

New Vegas' writing is objectively better than Fallout 3's. Fallout 3 is full of plot holes and contradictions, Col. Autumn dies in a crucial plot event and shows up 2 missions later. The story was better because it actually took the player and their actions into account, and each of the routes had more depth than 3's story.
Fallout 3 is a good game, but by practically every measurement New Vegas is an improvement.
In my opinion I still think FO3 was better than Vegas.
[QUOTE=bdd458;46064697]yeah because the Brotherhood being the unequivocal good guys and the Enclave being the unequivocal bad guys totally doesn't fuck with lore[/QUOTE]
Unless I've played Fallout 2 wrong, the Enclave have pretty much been unequivocal bad guys in the Fallout universe, they literally have no redeeming traits at all.
Also it doesn't really fuck with the lore having BoS being moral paragons either seeing as there was no mention of the nature of their organisation on the East coast prior to FO3, and also it's not a bad thing for writers to play around with the lore a bit, especially in a totally new world. People get way too hung up on the notion that the BoS doesn't fit the exact scaffold of the west coast chapters in FO3 and it's really weird.

Now that you've pointed it out I do concede that FO3 didn't have very good writing concerning the central story.
I think the bloom effect is a perfectly valid and nice graphical effect in games as long as it adheres strictly to two rules:
1. It must be a subtle effect, not constantly up in your face. It should only visible where one would realistically see a bloom effect in the real world.
2. It must increase or decrease in intensity depending on what you're looking at and the current environment you're standing in, like the HDR effect in Source Engine games.

Bloom is tricky to get right, but if you get it right, it's fucking gorgeous. I feel like combining just the right amount of bloom with a concise ambient occlusion really helps make things stand out in a game, gives everything a nice level of depth and, "texture." (Texture as in tactile, not texture as in texture files/images and stuff.)
The last good wrestling game was HCTP.
Halo 1 was the only good Halo.
