RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - VISUAL NOVELS ALLOWED

What's creepy? Everyone has a special person or two they wouldn't mind ending up in a ditch.

 

Still, silly to put such things to writing.

Can't say that I do. There's no doubt more people are bordering on mental illness than really known, and that's kind of creepy.

I don't understand what is going on

 

Beth's twitch stream has a Fallout figure against a background Fallout-themed standby screen. Since this is the day and age of... whatever... people are going crazy over it and watching absolutely nothing for hours. Paint Drying was a joke and a protest, this is for real.

 

Oh well and Obsidian confirmed via Twatter that it's not them working on the new Fallout game. Assuming it even is a new Fallout. It might as well be Switch releases or remakes of the old games for newer platforms.

 

And there's people who argue that the 80ies weren't the better decade to grow up in. Riiight.

Actually, it's already confirmed by Kotaku that it's a new Fallout game.

[majestic]

Ah, k. Must've missed that.

 

Not that I care much for a new Fallout game. Bethesda RPGs are just not for me, I learned that the hard way with Morrowind.

I remember towards the end of last year when in my "Youtube Recommends" there was a video (which I did not watch) titled "Where's TES VI?" to which I said "You guys realise that Fallout 4 came out not all that long ago? And that the space between Bethesda releases it generally around four years, right?"

There's also the generation that thinks the 90's were better than the 00's. Riiight.

 

I am over 30 years of age but I wish to God I had been born now than in the 80's. So much more tech now that I wish I had when I was a kid. My kids have it good, so much that they don't know lol

 

 

I don't know, I suppose any generation thinks their era is "the best" and finds something to complain about. That's how we know we are getting old... "Those kids don't know what this word means or who this was... *sigh*" and in reality, we old folks have alot to learn from the new generation if we could just get over our bitterlies of youth.

 

It's always been an interesting topic to me for sure!

So we're getting a new Fallout before a new Elder Scrolls game? Weird.

 

Then again, Fallout 4 (even though I'm spending a lot of time with it) is a massive trainwreck, there's very little I can think of that isn't broken in some major way (shooting mechanics, and even there the AI cheats, unless dodging bullets from an undetected enemy counts as "normal" behaviour)

Honestly, if you're spending a lot of time on Fallout 4, it probably did a lot of stuff right as well.

 

 

One does not preclude the other. The reason I'm spending time with it is because modders managed to salvage quite a bit of the broken mess Bethesda left them. Meaning F4 is still a good platform for modding.

 

Fallout 4, unmodded, to me, is unplayable (I tried and I gave up until I could get all DLC in a sale). And I've enjoyed (and completed) both Fallout 3 and F:NV without mods (as well as Skyrim, for that matter). The Metacritic User Score of 55 tells me that most people do not mod their games to make them function somewhat acceptably.

I'm betting its a Fallout MMO.

Well they already decided to overload the Wasteland with a ton of people in Fallout 4, so I guess a flood of chosen vault dwellers makes sense.

I'll see your Fallout MMO and raise you Fallout Battle Royale.

It's good to see some Pokemon love on this forum, I'm not a huge fan but still, I always enjoy people looking forward to it

I'm actually not a huge fan as well. But it's news and so I let people know about it.

 

Also, new game coming 2019.

For some reason, Pokèmon and controllable by touch in one sentence makes me feel very uncomfortable.

So what is it. I looked on their stream and it was just a fallout style TV busy signal with Django Reinhard playing in the background. Are they trying to be clever. We don't care THAT much after their recent lackluster showing with FO4

That was my first thought too, a Fortnite-type Fallout game.

 

I mean, it's almost too easy, what with the popularity of the genre and the setting meshing with that kind of game extremely well.

Great...  An MMO set in a world that is supposed to be almost entirely killed off by the war, and a series that was mostly about solitary adventuring in the mysterious aftermath.  One of the greatest (most impactful) experiences in the entire Fallout series was exploring the West-Tek facility; aka, "The Glow"...  They could never match it of course, but how can they even attempt to in an MMO format?  This would be the worst kind of franchise milking. Over the course of Bethesda's stewardship... the series has lost every single aspect, premise, and tenet of the Fallout concept—(aside from still using a few names) that made the brand worth buying (and the game worth playing) in the first place.   With FO3, there was so little left of Fallout already, that I'd never bother with any future "Fallout" title by them.

Now I'm all excited about being able to purchase the Vintar BC from STALKER for the low low price of 4,99

[HoonDing]

You just know there are nimcompoops out there who actually stayed awake for 8 hours staring at sleeping Vault Boy.

[Lexx]

Well, something could happen ANY MINUTE NOW!

[Katphood]

Lexx simply cannot wait to make that Rogue Synth, dress it like a hipster and join his mates online for the first raid in the upcoming Fallout: MMO. I bet he even has a name for his clan already. 

 

It's okay, Lexx. We ALL want that Fallout: Online Collectors Edition which comes with a working pip-boy 6000 and a download code for the Armored Death Claw Mount.

Looks kinda same old, same old.  I do wonder at the point of escorting a B-2 with non stealth aircraft
