People need to remember that fallout isn't the last of Us or god of war, fallout is a cool series with a cool world, but it's not a masterpiece of story telling and writing. These showrunners aren't making Lord of the rings over here, it's not gonna be hard to make a decent show based in an established world.
They're keeping the aesthetic and design, so I'm happy. But so many people don't have a nuanced opinion anymore, and a show is either a perfect 10 or it's "unwatchable garbage". I've seen and loved shows that I give a solid 8 to, but anything below a nine gets called "shit" these days.
I mean, New Vegas is known as one of the best written RPGs of all time. So.... there might be slightly higher than average expectations here.
It is not known.
No it's not lmao. It was good but it's far from anything like that
What? It's almost universally accepted that New Vegas is one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Go through any "top RPGs of all time" list and you're pretty much guaranteed to find New Vegas there, usually in the top half of the list.
Greatest action RPGs, perhaps. But even that has little bearing on TV show writing, since the important writing aspect of RPGs is the mass of options, not the actual writing itself.
Wow all the clickbait bot written top 10 list blogs put it in the top half!!!
Maybe broaden your horizon a bit. You're missing out.
Those clickbait bot written posts have a bigger significance than your "No it's not lmao". I'm gonna side with the bots rather than some self-important contrarian.
Ok. Enjoy your mediocrity. Ignorance is bliss after all.
Alright Mr. Important. Go on, enlighten me. Give me your top 30 greatest RPGs of all time, in any order.
I can't really think of a worse way to spend my time. Just go explore bro. If new Vegas is fantastic to you there's a whole world of gold out there to find.
Go explore what exactly? That is literally what I was asking. What are those exceptional games that I've missed in my 20+ years of gaming that turn New Vegas into a turd? But if you can't be bothered then just say you have shit taste and don't know what you're talking about and we can end it there.
Haha, look at you. So angry because of some slight criticism of your little game. Is Fallout New Vegas with you in the room right now? Blink if you need help. For your sanity sake I want to point out I literally called it a good game. You can stop stomping your angry little feet now.
I'm doing fine. I already know you've got shit taste. All we can accomplish now is get you to also accept that you had shit taste.
Grr so angry
So you're one of those guys who has to get the last word? Somehow I'm not surprised.
Why are you mad?
Because I'm talking to an AI. No intelligent thought, just words strung together to make a sentence. Really, your last 5 comments on this thread have literally no substance. You could've written "Goo Goo Gaga" every time and it would've been just as informative as what you actually wrote.
Ok but what makes you so mad though?
There's no reason to be mad so I'm not.
Then why are you mad?
I just said I'm not
Ok but why are you mad then?
Yes
Of course not, Lord of the Rings already exists.
We've had first Lord of the Rings, yes, but what about second Lord of the Rings?
