Fallout has become a mockery of itself

[=CrimsoN=]

title

For example, the original theme of Fallout was meant to be a warning of the consequences of a hyper-ideologically fueled arms race and the dangers associated with rampant consumption. But now it's become a mockery of itself, because LOL FALLOUT 1ST SUBSCRIPTION AND 50s MUSIC IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Don't get me wrong. I love Fallout and I even love the Bethesda era games, but wow if it couldn't be farther from the original idea.

Thoughts?

I love fallout 3. I'm pretty sure I've managed to complete everything. I even love most of the DLC. Except for maybe the pitt. I even like zeta, and a lot of people don't like that one.

Whattttt!!! The Pitt is my favorite one! Probably because I’m from Pennsylvania so the many references are relatable. Surprised anyone likes Zeta tbh. I don’t hate it, but I think it’s one of the weaker DLCs. Still fun though, especially with the Mothership Zeta Crew mod.

OP some people started saying this when Fallout 2 came out.

I just remembered I haven't done a 1 intelligence run yet in Fallout 1 and 2.

Need to do that.

I'm a bit of an odd duck like that. That's like with New Vegas. Everyone says they absolutely love dead money. I found it the DLC that I enjoyed the least. I had a lot more fun going to big mountain and the honest hearts DLC.

I did at one time have the F03 GOTY and FNV UE on 360, but I traded them. I still got the PS3 base game FO3 and FNV. I don't miss the DLC for sure.

I got the PC F03 GOTY, but I use it more to increase the level cap. Didn't like the Pitt, Zeta and Harbour felt like oh wow the bullet sponge tank zone. The VR war sim well meh.

Still only got the PC FNV base game. I really can't even remember the FNV beyond the bank robbery one.

Really? I thought Dead Money was universally hated?
Even the store page for it is mixed. I liked Dead Money because even though it's tedious, I see what the developers were going for. It's sort of like a deconstruction of everything Fallout. To have all that power of being a killing machine stripped away all in the pursuit of a fool's errand. I guess that's probably why I like the quest, "A Valuable Lesson". Not a masochist, I swear! I just like deconstructive narratives is all. I liked Honest Hearts a lot too. Actually that's probably my favorite New Vegas DLC mostly because Zion is absolutely beautiful. In the game and real life! In fact, I really want to see Zion National Park with my own eyes because of the DLC lol

Dead Money was the only memorable FNV DLC. Then again I do remember now something about crazy talking TV screens?

Old World Blues.

I liked all of the FNV DLCs, although Lonesome Road not as much.

Bear, Bull, BEar, BUll, BEAR, BULL, BERBULBERBUL...:P

Yeah I should probably get all the FNV DLC again for the PC version this time. It has been so long I have forgot so much. The DLC will probably feel almost like a fresh experience again.

Messaggio originale di SMIFFY:

The first 2 games felt bleak but there was a sense of society trying to rebuild itself, 3 and 4 it's just bandits, bandits, bandits, super mutants, bandits and robots.

The purification and distribution of clean water wasn’t enough about rebuilding society to you? And in 4 you literally built dozens of towns and set up communities all over the map. What are you talking about?

The people hating on it haven't played fallout 76, haven't even played ANY fallout game, they are the kind of beta males that are playing survival games and expects every survival game to be just exactly like rust (which is the most laziest game ever.)

Fallout 76 is a great game, but not perfect obviously, but they fix their bugs, they update their game with content, you can do dailies, there's repetitive tasks, you can build, npc's were added, and yeah, when will ur fave game ever?

Fallout 76 has a Metacritic review score of 52.

It is one of the lowest scoring games with the GaaS model and Fallout went from being a single player RPG to a multiplayer model.

Well it has ironically a 76% score on steam and if you have played 76 its kinda mind blowing how many people spend money on the atomshop and how many users sport Fallout 1st subscription items.... honestly when I played Nuclear Winter getting to lvl 100.... most people i ran into had FO1st....

So if you think it failed as a GaaS model you have no idea what youre talking about.

Im not happy with it but.... as someone who is a cosmetic ♥♥♥♥♥ and loves building houses in an online fallout game I even spent well over a few hundred.

Truth is 76 is fun... people dont like to hear it, i dont like to believe it.... i didnt want it to be... but it is....

Fallout 76 only sold 2.4 million copies.

Comparatively, Diablo III sold 20 million copies and Destiny has outsold every FPS series except Call of Duty since launch to become the second largest first person franchise. Even Anthem sold 5 million copies in 2019 and that was by no means close to what BioWare expected.
