      I think anything besides 4 or 76 would be considered acceptable. Both fallout 2 and new Vegas were absolute gems

            It was a first-person looter/shooter with a story, crafting, and base building. What’s an “RPG”? 😄

              RPG means ‘role playing game’.

              Where you get to decide what role you want your character to play.

              Where player choice and creativity, problem solving approach… are as, if not more important than the underlying ruleset and world.

              Where your decisions in the world meaningfully change how the story progresses, how the world evolves.

              Where you can fail in your mission, even if you don’t literally die.

              You… do know that the original Fallout was literally built as a DnD like, TTRPG, first, and the devs played multiple rounds of this, with a game/dungeon master and whatnot, to prototype the mechanics and balance that would go into the computer game… right?

              That the game itself could beat you, and you would just fail, if you fucked about and didn’t discover a solution in time?

                I was making a joke. I know what an RPG is. I completed Fallout 1 years ago and really enjoyed it, but never finished 2.

                I just don’t care that 4 doesn’t live up to some RPG standard. It’s a game. It’s a fun game. If everyone would stop judging it for what it’s not, that’d be great. That goes for all games. Hell, all media!

                Who cares what it could have been? Who cares what it’s history is? Is the game fun? That’s all that matters. Instead, we have a bunch of gatekeepers in the fandom who dump on FO4 every chance they get, and it’s exhausting.

    Man that scene was fuckin harsh. The movie is Civil War and does a great job of showing why you don’t actually want a civil war to break out.

      I’m struggling to enjoy the humor of the image because all I can think of is how fucked up that scene is 😅 (not that the rest of the movie is sunshine and rainbows).

        Amen dude. Super fucked. That whole movie was depressing because of how stupidly accurate it is.

          I remember the discussions during the release of that movie basically people are saying even if Trump got re-elected he won’t be as crazy as the president in the movie. Now, it’s almost prophetic.
