Fallout 4 rpgcodex review

[0wing]

Bubbles did a great job (and by great I mean big) analysing the pie this big. He did missed some of the game flaws and misunderstood some of the game's aspects. Like the first one with story, the only clue you have is cool story told by mad grandma about some green jewel. Yeah, reliable source of information my ass. That's why main character shouldn't run towards suspicious pip-boy marker.

Fallout was the world, not the gameplay.

That's not true at all and even if it was, Bethesda butchered it already in F3 and are at this point just pissing on the burning gravesite.

It's been used often as short-hand term to refer to the classic western RPGs, the majority of which I believe were from before the millennium. It's terminology has shifted over the years, the same way first-world and third-world used to refer to allegiances during the Cold War but now refers to levels of economic development.

Don't talk like you know anything. CRPG means a Computer Roleplaying Game, end of story. First-World and Third-World have always meant the same. During the Cold War, Second-World meant the Warsaw Pact and Soviet satellites but was only rarely used outside of academia. Third-World has always meant the "developing" world, ie shit holes nobody gives a shit, in which the superpowers wage their proxy wars. You don't get to randomly reinvent terminology, moron.

I'm not sure what point you're making here. You might be speaking to the wrong person if you think I'm defending Bethesda.

Well, I already know all of the above, and I just wanted to elaborate to anyone who didn't want to understand. I didn't say anything to contradict any of the above, so if I got you confused, apologies. There are many RPGs on PC nowadays that no one would classify as a cRPG, and the "x-world" designations did refer to allegiances during the Cold War.

Third world countries were not aligned with the USSR, nor NATO, first world countries were aligned with NATO and allies to the US. The definition shifted to describe economic development. It's not reinventing if I'm just describing what people use it for nowadays. Don't shoot the messenger, it's not very polite.
