Judge Hades Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Play through the bullsh*t in Fallout 2 and see how much you like your stupid easter egg crap.
alanschu Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Play through the bullsh*t in Fallout 2 and see how much you like your stupid easter egg crap. I generally found them to be pretty funny. The holy hand grenade BOS guys The bridgekeeper The countless The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly references. Hilarious.
Judge Hades Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 One or two, perhaps even three would be hilarious but that is it. Anything more of that stupid sh*t it gets downright stupid and annoying. There was 2 Star Trek references, a bunch of Monty Python crap, a dead killer whale, that cafe, and a bunch of other stupid references as well. It even had a stupid Animaniac reference as well as Mike Tyson. It was too freaking much. Fallout 2 has killed any and all desire to see such stupidness in a computer game.
Arkan Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Play through the bullsh*t in Fallout 2 and see how much you like your stupid easter egg crap. True, but FO2 was just plain overkill in that department. A joke or two isn't going to hurt. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Judge Hades Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Its starts with one or two, then it gets to 3 to 4, then we got Fallout 2 all freaking over again. Lets not even give the Obsidian boys any ideas and leave the stupidity out of KotOR2 and future games.
Phoenix19-15-5 Posted July 9, 2004 Author Posted July 9, 2004 Actuallly, I rather like the Hades One NPC idea....only we can't be too obvious with the name. Let's calle him Cassius Viceris.
Judge Hades Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 If you want to partake in stupidity, who am I to stop you.
Achalon Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 There was 2 Star Trek references, a bunch of Monty Python crap, a dead killer whale, that cafe, and a bunch of other stupid references as well. It even had a stupid Animaniac reference as well as Mike Tyson. lol, I'm gonna have to check this out. :D A dead Killer Whale? lol
Judge Hades Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 lol, I'm gonna have to check this out. :D A dead Killer Whale? lol Oh yes, let us laugh at the depiction of a poor animal languishing in pain and suffering. What a keen joke it is.
Whitemithrandir Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I like my karzak as an npc idea better. Word economics To express my vast wisdom I speak in haiku's.
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I think Hades is a better idea, no offense to Karzak of course...he could kill off Sith or Jedi with his rants...kind of like the french taunter on the holy grail...oh sh!t, I mentioned an easter egg didn't I? Sorry hades...
Chemix Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I think easter eggs are a great idea as long as they don't over dominate the story. Many people love these little jokes. Lighten up will ya? Hmmmmmm, how about a line where one of the sith lords quotes dark helmet with "Evil will always beat good, because good is dumb" or something like that, only a spaceballs fan would get it though. Mabey a locked room in a sith embacy or aboard a ship that has miniatures of all the characters on a table, like the dolls scene from spaceballs. Perhaps a reference to ludicrous speed on the ebon hawk or a sith ship.
Judge Hades Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 No. They put in oen then they might think to put in 2, then 4, nope 8 will be enough. Then it goes to 100's of little annoying easter eggs. Fallout 2 has used up Obsidian's allotment for easter eggs for 40 years.
Chemix Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 "u" find them anoying. Not everyone is like u in this respect, I know many who love easter eggs in games
Indalecio Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 lol, I'm gonna have to check this out. :D A dead Killer Whale? lol Oh yes, let us laugh at the depiction of a poor animal languishing in pain and suffering. What a keen joke it is. Actually, that was a Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy reference.
taks Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Holy metal, <PC NAME>! What? This metal, it's rusted and full of holes... Oh. taks comrade taks... just because.
taks Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Actually, that was a Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy reference. if converted from a potted plant, twould have been perfect... taks comrade taks... just because.
Sarkile Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 "u" find them anoying. Not everyone is like u in this respect, I know many who love easter eggs in games What do easter eggs add to the game? I guess I'm like Hades on this one.
Meshugger Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 No. They put in oen then they might think to put in 2, then 4, nope 8 will be enough. Then it goes to 100's of little annoying easter eggs. Fallout 2 has used up Obsidian's allotment for easter eggs for 40 years. So, you're indicating that when a gamer want some easter eggs, then he should be restricted only to see them in one perticular game? "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I couldn't find the real source, but this is a link to another thread...look behind Mira, there looks to be a Winnebago... Easter Egg?
Judge Hades Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 So, you're indicating that when a gamer want some easter eggs, then he should be restricted only to see them in one perticular game? Nope. I am just sdying that Obsidian used their allotment for Easter Eggs.
icebox15 Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Does it really matter whether there are easter eggs or not, I mean I'm not gonna judge a game based on easter eggs.
Judge Hades Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 The problem is Fallout 2 crossed that line and the game basically became one easter egg after another. From the Bush/Quayle and Tyson references to Monty Python and Douglas Adams, it was way too much. THe easter eggs became the game and when it reaches that point it ruins the game. I rather have a game that has no easter eggs whatsoever than take that chance.
Dereth Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 This is a new company and the company that did Fallout and PS:T is dead. These guys have a clean slate and will treat them as such. Stop contridicting yourself hades.
