In /r/Fallout, you cannot praise New Vegas without being mutilated and downvoted.

It's interesting how to people that preach open mindedness and forgiveness don't really practice it. Hypocrisy is one hell of a drug.

/r/fallout is fine. There's a post about how "X is a missed opportunity" nearly every week. It's a bit more tempered since people can at least acknowledge the flaws.

Bethesda's community forums is just a cesspool of apologetics and denial. One of the most autistic people I have ever seen frequents that forum, and when there's a thread criticising an aspect of the game he's quick to gish gallop about how FNV was shit in comparison to 4. Most toxic individual I've ever seen.

I used to be a Bethesda forumite but the forums were ruined by the transformation so it's impossible to hold actual lengthy discussions about lore or the games.

I have no issue with r/fallout. There are a ton of NV fans there, as well as older fans of the series.

The true fanboyism is on Bethesda itself or was before they gimped their forums. That place is a cesspool. When I joined back in the early 2000s, it was never like that, even after Oblivion. With Skyrim, it started to attract quite a bit more attention and users, and the mods became more strict. After Fallout 4 came out, some of the mods considered criticism of the game flamebaiting. That was the last straw for me. It became a safezone instead of a forum.

Same reason i abandoned it, however it happened for me prior to the release.

Id be fine being the minority and have the world against me so long as im allowed to speak my mind. Silence that and what point is there in staying?

The number of threads on Reddit talking shit about NMA is astounding, all because they're blinded to hell and back by the lie that ol' Howard made something not-shit for once.

"stop liking what i hate you fanboy!!!!!"

Reddit itself is really good, but the fallout forum is a pile of garbage.

Try /r/FNV, the New Vegas subreddit

OP said the combat system is better. False the combat may feel and flow better But iS much more unintuitive than the one found in NV. The damage calculation system has been buttfucked impressively. Armor reverted back to DT. And don't even get me started on that "enemy has mutated" bullshit.

you mean DR, and unlike in 1 or 2, or even NV and 3, it's gone to a whole new level of "What in the flying fuck is this shit?". It never ceases to amaze me that these assclowns keep inflating the numbers of armor value when NV, 3, 1 and 2 just kept it fucking simple: the percentage of the number is the % you shrug off from damage, with 1 and 2 being a bit more advanced with Energy Resistance, Flame Resistance, Poison Resistance, etc. But they never went through stupid fucking values like "1-1000 is merely 4.565 etc%" and so on. It's overly complex for absolutely no reason whatsoever. DT with a hybrid of DR is the best fucking system in the series, the only thing NV missed out was cranking it up to 11 and boosting DT even more so especially on Power Armor and reduce the bleed through to 10%, or have none whatsoever until the armor hp would drop to 0.

on reddit, you must agree with the majority or your opinion will be denounced and censored

color me shocked.

Reddit isn't good. At all.

Every subreddit is a meaningless circlejerk. You have to be subscribed to most subreddits to downvote on them,

A friendly reminder that turning off custom subreddit appearances allows you to downvote anything without needing a subscription.

You can find it in your 'preferences' menu.

I couldn't care less about r/Fallout at this point. Every time I go there I see mindless gushing or people claiming to be ungrateful fans for disliking 4 (though there are times when posters there do praise New Vegas and get upvotes with replies voicing their agreement). The people there (though admittedly other subreddits) don't seem to grasp the idea of differing opinions and often stick to outdated beliefs enforced by being in a echo chamber of opinions (which makes up most social media sites these days).

It's why I don't frequent r/Fallout even though I have posted there. At least r/ClassicFallout and r/NV are still decent enough places to check out (along with a few others).
