Things we learned from Fallout 4

481: Magic effects on weapons are totally not broken:

That might be as bad as the Flamer of Freezing.

Then you get the fanboys saying "it's just a game bro it can be silly" - except it's not a fanboy, it's Bethesda saying that.

They opened the floodgates by disavowing internal logic/consistency and now anything goes in Fallout. Pretty soon Fallout will be filled with so much "silliness" that the people saying "it's just a game, it's allowed to be fun and silly" will realize why that's a bad attitude when crafting a fictional universe.

I love that pretty much once someone says that they've outed themselves as a Beth fan/casual rather than an actual fallout fan. Most fans are even bothered by the silly shit in fo2 (personally I'm not I started with fo3 after all :P) how can people like that call themselves fans of fallout?

You know this could've been easily fixed with wild wasteland. Throw in a freezing flamer as a joke, have an ott kid in a fridge quest, make Cabot house an absurdist story about magic alien spirits manifesting themselves in hats. But nope, this shit is canon.

It's only 'official' canon. That doesn't mean shit anymore tbh. Ever since tactics the canon has been sorta messed up. Fo3 is mostly inoffensive apart from the terrible writing.
And shoehorned west coast creatures and factions. But fo4 contradicts (no joke) nearly every single previously established piece if lore.

Fallout 3 as a game, I hated. Shit mechanics, it looks awful and I don't normally mind bad graphics. But it was inoffensive to lore and it led me to better games. Fallout 4, or "Bethesda's Wasteland Adventure" is just so, so wrong.

What the fuck? You stupid bitch it's not just "aliens" it's actually ancient alien cities under the mojave. Sorry if my superior taste in games can't be grasped by nostalgia fags like you. Get it right next time. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to watch MrMatty's Fallout 5 speculation.

:wtf:
 
Not joking, it's obviously a superior game. You're all trolls and h8rz.
+Acceptable graphics
+Great gunplay when compared to 2010 shooters
+Amazing and compelling stories

Automatron - robot building is cool. Wasteland workshop - who doesn't love settlements? Contraptions - finally we get to build elevators that don't fit with other vanilla pieces. Vault-Tec Workshop - who needs a budget of $500 billion anyway? Far Harbour - spooky island with fog, points for originality. Nuka World - holy shit the new power armor is mucho fresh.

New Vegas was a steaming turd. I couldn't complete deceased currency or whatever it was called. Old Blues was sooooooo boring, way two much dialog. Honest hurts was teribl, who care aboot tribbels? Lonely pathway was durrrrrrrrrrrr

Sorry guys I went full retard for a second.

Bethesda would have screwed up wild wasteland simply because their writers aren't funny, clever, or witty enough to come up with interesting references to things.

Wild Wasteland in New Vegas had references to things that Bethesda's garbage writers wouldn't even understand.

Plus, the Wild Wasteland references in New Vegas were often implemented in a subtle fashion, whereas Bethesda would just put it right in front of your face. Ancient aliens everywhere.

E: Romaners? Romanners? Dominoes? Pete, Pete get over here!

P: What is it Emil?

E: This thing I don't understand, from New Vegas. It might be a reference to the early games, but I can't find anything on the wiki.

P: Don't worry bud, I got you.
...
Probably some nerd thing that's realistic, nothing to worry about bud.

E: K thanks babe.
 
484 : Preston Garvey will gladly stand by as you harass settlers into giving away their homes and money. But the moment you place a flag down he'll fucking hate you.
Flags are getting pretty ornery now-a-days, totally justified. I kill three flags yesterday just to teach them a lesson.
