games

and that is pretty heavily implied to be direction/inspiration from Todd

about how to make the world fun

and imo, that works

My hangup is just calling it accurate

yeah, the more you mentioned

they did change more of some of the semi-recent lore than I remembered

I think they wanted to spite Obsidion too

It can be with Bethesda's support/ideas and still be wildly inaccurate (infact, with Bethesda this is the likely outcome)

I think it feels very Fallout either way

This Yakuza show though....

I'm not counting on it

At least we have the gold standard of game adapatations

borderlands

speaking of Bethesda

Max/Gent, are either of you keeping up with Quakecon?

has anything come out of it

I don't play no boomer shooters

bethesda hates the idea of the wasteland "gettin better"

they dontreally understand the appeal of humanity rebuilding itself

or why 'war never changes' feels good in these scenarios

its because despite humanity falling to the bottom- or crawling its way back up, no matter how high they climb orhow high they fall, war never changes and power changes hands and people move on

but going

WAR NEVER CHANGES EHEHEH NUKE EVERYTHING GONE AGAIN EVERYONMME ALWAYS DIE :DDD

doesnt really fit the theme

their characterization of vault tec is also odd, they failed to udnerstand that vault tec isnt exactly "evil", but bethesda wants it to be MEGA CORPO SUPER EVIL EHEHEHE

without understanding that they aren't meant to be pure evil, more so just sick and twisted in how they treat human lives as experiments, evil yes, but never NUKE DA WORLD FOR MONEY :333

all for the sake of reseach and advancement

I was always under the impression that the only reason they screwed around so much was because they thought the nukings wouldn't happen

i dont even mind that they "started it", because lorewise many of the games do hint that everyone knew it was coming really really soon, even day before

the issue is why they "started it"

but spooky is right tha tthe show is accurate for the direction bethesda wants to take the series

the isuse is that the direction they want to take the series is in a way that contradicts the core identity of what makes fallout good and engaging

as its approximations from a childs perspecrtive about the story and themes, a lack of media literacy that causes the theme to fly over their head

Media literacy 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

i will say frfom what i know of the show though

the BoS is even more of a character assassination

They're like a parody of evangelical christians

its also funny how we had three games worth of the BoS dying out on the west, going from power to slowly dying out and becoming irellevant, due to their inability to change, and most of the endings of NV tackle this exact problem

instead of coming back to this using the east coast chapter as a wayt to contrast and compare maybe a remanants tier of the west coast, and show the faltering of ideals of a split commnity hundreds of years later

they just kinda go BIG SHIP MAKE PEOPLE COME :DDD

>starfield dlc adds vehicles

BETHESDA CARS???

FALLOUT 5 CARS???

ok, I've played 3 hours of Mecha Break so far

It's actually pretty fun, the tutorial is too long, and part of it being fun is that the people playing rn all suck, so you feel like a mech god

gamemods are also the same thing we've had since TF2 somehow

have people just forgotten all the other more niche objectives from that era?

more TDM, CTF, and Payload oh boy

more shooters should have a splatoon clam blitz game mode

Black Myth Wukong come out next Monday, and I feel like no one is hyping it up

I kind of expect the all-out marketing blitz to start now

they spent all theri marketing budget

the past like

5 years

lol

oh that's a cool premise for a game I have never heard of

I wonder if all these hero shooters are going to die when TF3 leaves closed alpha

what game Leg?

he better not mean deadlock

^

i did mean deadlock

i just learned about it today

do you want a key

its not even an alpha anymore really

literally everyone

has a key

^

it hit like 14k people playing it

it was less than 200

when we played

ok Max, is it time to play again

kappa

deadlock

unless theyc hanged the shop system entirely

its bad

it's a neat bad game

builds need a full redesign, i love dota item building but they just need to go full league

and just have it so you know you always buy like the same 2-3 items

for characters
