Fallout: New Vegas is Genius, and Here's Why.

I'm a Patreon so I got to watch it a few days earlier.
It's a good video, there's some stuff I didn't know about it when playing it and it seems to have brought back done life in s game that was already full of life.

In regards to the whole Mauler thing, I honestly find 10 hours to be rather overkill. Plus I find him condescending to the point I can barely get passed a few minutes of a video without wanting to kill myself.

I did get that Hbomberdude had a new found appreciation for Fallout 3, he still isn't a fan, but he has mentioned he likes some aspects of it.
 
I dunno. I quite like Mauler's and his friends reviews of Batwoman. Those are actually really hilarious mainly due to how dumbfounded and baffled they all get when watching it. I am under the assumption that Batwoman is either a joke that everyone is in on but the CW or it's a tax write off.

Or it is for Leftists hence your confusion.
 
Sounds like your average fanboy mindset. Take a divisive entry and then tell everyone how it is really better than they thought. Profit.

Gonna do that.

Expect a video from me called 'Fallout Brotherhood of Steel is better than you think'

I don't know about that. I know plenty of Leftists that think Batwoman is a joke and take just as much joy in ribbing it as Right Wingers. This show is more or less made for Tumblr and Twitter who are their own breed of LOLCow's. I however think it is the funniest show on TV right now and hope it goes on for a long time. Who says that comedy is dead?

I won't derail the thread into political shit but it certainly plays a role in whether people like something or not.

Though I will say in Harris' case I do think he actually has genuine belief in his weird contrarian takes rather than just having them for clickbaitey and hackey reasons. Though as a disclaimer I have never played Dark Souls and don't really give a shit about Star Wars anymore so those specific instances don't really elicit a reaction from me either way.
 
That reminds me of 4 hour long Twin Peaks videos. Here is a video why that is the case...
 
This guy spends 10 mins on how it's okay his video is so long, almost an hour before he gets to the starting town, prefaces every section with justifications, whole video is just summarizing the plot. Hardly a retrospective you fucking hack.

I hate that video for one reason, by claiming 'you have the true for reals meaning to twin peaks', you completely miss the point of Lynch.

I mean, even Lynch and Frost have two different meanings on what TP is.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I can try and watch this now, when I have the time.

I can't have my sound on when I have some time because that's usually when my wife is asleep next to me :shrug:.
 
The vid is pretty good and makes a really good point about an argument I still say for years that Fallout 3 is not a good exploration game and that Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas were better in that regard.

Exploration is not a matter of numbers or mob to kill to make your artificial numbers bigger and feel better because you did something. Exploration is going to exotic location or seeing new poeple and lore, going to see something fresh or in the case of Fallout 2 seeing the evolution and keep the nostalgy of the people and location that you have seen years ago and have the joy or fear that stuff changed for the best or worst.

Fallout 3 had exploration, but boring one, exploring boring metro or locking the best locations to a far end place or behind a pay wall as DLC.
FNV in the contrary, show you all the tour organically with a lot of quest pointing you to exotic locations or distinct stuff that makes you curious (a Correctional Facility, a Giant Dinasour, a burned town, and even New Vegas it self obeys to that rule with all its neon lights) and where people either live or survive on their own. Vault 22 being the best exemple shown by Hbomber, for me personally was stumbling by chance on Hidden Valley, my first character was a petty thief, a weak sort (because of how his Grand Parent developped a sickness on a quest for Day Glow and pass on the curse for generation), there was a tornado at night and my charchter couldn't see anything, I just had a level up from trying to lockpick the Bunker only to find rubbles and a destroyed facility. Thanks to a level up I had 100 skillpoints in Lockpick so I tried to open the last door and begin to explore. Just to meet an angry Templar from 40k looking ass freak waving a big energy gun on me.

It was one of the best experience in exploration I had with Vault 22, and raiding the Sierra Army Depot while battling an IA (blind playthrough). Fallout 3 had none of that unique one on one encounter that mattered to the plot everything was found this, loot, repair, return, sell and repeat.
