    Fallout 1 or Fallout New Vegas?

    We have, yes, but with all due respect that's not substantive to the point you're trying to make. Again, see Grand Theft Auto or Final Fantasy, or any of several other long-running series that started back in the days of primitive design. Mainline game series sometimes see their core systems...

    Fallout 1 or Fallout New Vegas?

    Space Marine doesn't claim to be a Dawn of War title, though-- it would be like saying Space Marine was a better Warhammer game, two different titles under the same franchise. Even that isn't a perfect analogy, as they're not mainline titles of the same series; it'd be more like saying that...

    Dormant/Dead franchise and what killed them -- discussion

    Armored Core- God I miss this series. It was From Software's bread and butter before they were contracted for Dark Souls, but between the two one of those is obviously the moneymaker. The contract they signed with Bandai Namco when they took on Souls granted them development of at least two...

    Say something positive about the USA

    America has given the world a lot, in terms of charity, assistance, technology, inspiration, culture, social philosophy. Shout me down if you want, keep your blinders on. But it's true. I'm more leftist-- not liberal, leftist-- than most of my countrymen and well aware of our abuses...

    Which One Of These Games Had A Worse Impact On The Franchise?

    I hope I didn't step on your thunder. I just sort of felt like I needed to contextualize the rest of what I had to say.

    Which One Of These Games Had A Worse Impact On The Franchise?

    I suppose I can understand that, even if I'll never get it. My brother and I grew up with the franchise and have largely shared the same opinions on it since 1997, but he and I are diametrically opposed on our New Vegas takes, my father as well. Some perfectly intelligent longtime fans just...

    Which One Of These Games Had A Worse Impact On The Franchise?

    Possibly unpopular opinion for an old-timer here, but I've honestly always felt like the main faction endings of New Vegas WERE one of the places the game could use a little polish, most especially the Wild Card ones. It would've been hard to account for every single choice and intention of the...

    "Liked" in a solidarity way, not in a Nelson Muntz way. We've all been there. Shit sucks, I'm sorry.

    Stupid Watergate - or how to impeach Donald Trump.

    I feel the metaphor may have become a bit mixed here, but then war and film have always both been messy, dirty businesses, so it kind of works.

    Stupid Watergate - or how to impeach Donald Trump.

    It's not inherently racist to, for instance, judge gender-discriminatory or religiously biased laws negatively. Leftists and liberals do it all the time, at home AND abroad, and catch no end of shit for the former from the conservative horde. The problem comes in when people are willing to...

    Stupid Watergate - or how to impeach Donald Trump.

    Not sure how you guys do it over there, but in America one of the mindsets most often responsible for getting people into the service is "I come from poverty and don't want student loans or the selective mobility barriers baked into our society to ruin my adult life before it has a chance to...

    Which One Of These Games Had A Worse Impact On The Franchise?

    If we're not talking about the quality of the game, but the damage it did to the franchise, I think there's actually a cohesive argument to be made that the real answer is Tactics. I loved it, but taking a step back, look at it-- it's where the stewards of the franchise decided turn based combat...

    At least we get a tacit acknowledgement that they know it's something people want to spend money on and it's the only thing they have left that might drag some cash in for 76? It's a silver lining on a cloud dumping acid rain, but still.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Barring any spoilers, things do take some radical departures from the originals, so you're not just sitting there watching a warmed-over redux, at least.
