I suffered direct spirit damage viewing this image

This is an amazing bait post

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I always found it ridiculous that Fallout takes place like 200 years after the big war and it's still such a wasteland. It would look like that for maybe a single-digit amount of years after humans start living on the surface again. Humans build things very quickly.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

Blame FO3. The first Fallout took place less than a century after the nukes dropped, and by the time of the second Fallout, the setting wasn't really a wasteland anymore.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly, no survivors would tolerate living like this. I know I wouldn't.

Is there a meaning behind the fact that the Big Mac and McChicken are all real photos of the sandwiches, but the rest are advertising photos?

Peak meme literacy

[–] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even the channers hate it.

It’s bait targeted at them. Notice how FO3 is portrayed as having more to it than 2.

Fallout 1 being lesser than 2 is a common opinion on most sites, but it’s clearly bait to place 3 above 2 by showing the larger sandwich.

New Vegas is taking a shot as well, it uses a chicken sandwich to show it’s a different studio but still shows itself as having less than the one I assume is a Big Mac or whopper. Nobody places 3 above NV.

The fish sandwich doesn’t make sense for 4. They should have used a sandwich everyone hates or the target audience hates. Nobody likes 4 more than any except 3.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

FO3 being the biggest sandwich is a dead giveaway. I think the meme is supposed to be someone who grew up with and is nostalgic about FO3, basically someone your average 4channer would absolutely hate and view with contempt.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Nobody places 3 above NV.

You'd be surprised. There's a pretty large and growing backlash to the idea that NV is better than 3. Most of the backlash is just "3 isnt as bad as people say" rather than it being better than NV, but the strongest and loudest backlashers think 3 is outright better.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is /r/prequelmemes contrarianism and it must be crushed. I will be damned if people think Oblivion with Guns is better than NV

[–] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Especially since Oblivion also sucked.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Every bethesda game is worse than the one before it. I cannot wait to see what nightmares await us in Starfield 2.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven’t encountered those. I’m willing to have an open mind if they actually have argument, but I fail to see how there is one. Three dog was a better DJ I guess, buts not a large hinge point

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Many a True Nerd made a video that is decently well respected in defense of FO3. (He's not a chud, pretty decent guy it seems). My Fallout friend who loves NV and hates 3 even respects the video. (He's also gained some social credit with places like GCJ because of another youtuber who obsessively made massively long video essays nitpicking every point in his video which are very offputting lol).

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for the rec. I liked 3 as a kid, new Vegas is just something else. Personally, I think almost all of the hate is from people who played 1-2 first and knew what was lost.

Oh fuck it’s 2 hours. I’ll listen to it at work later lol.

Hot take: 3 is fun enough if you just dick around. NV has the vastly superior main quest. 3 has some good side quests but the main quest is a fucking snooze fest.

Why do people in this thread say sandwich when it's a burger? I'm not a native English speaker so it's an honest question.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (13 children)

I chose to use sandwich because not every sandwich in that picture is a burger. Since burger is a type of sandwich in American English, I could have used more specific language for each but that would have required me to use more words and I’m lazy.

Do you mind if I ask where the line between the two words is in your first language? You don’t have to say what it is if that’s an opsec thing, I’m just curious about the delineation.

Fallout 4 should have been the two day old salad the employees aren’t paid enough to care about throwing and replacing instead of just serving it.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah I quit playing after a few hours

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

fish sandwich should be FO3, 4 should be a turd on a nice bun, and new vegas should be a wagyu steak

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I cant believe I'm encountering this opinion on a leftist website with lots of trans people on it!!!! (ur mostly right but I think FO4 is Fun To Play just not really meaty in any way).

When will the NMA grognards rise up to yell at people for liking all the 3D fallout games again?

Retvrn to tradition monke-return

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When they've finished arguing over whether Fallout 2 ruined the series by leaning too much into pop cultural references as humour.

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

its over then

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fallout 2 didn't ruin the series but the writing is fucking atrocious and it's a juvenile, abrasive game =)

I can not recognize fast food burgers based on those images, let alone hazard a guess at what the analogy is supposed to be

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
  1. Hamburger
  2. Cheeseburger
  3. Big Mac
  4. McChicken
  5. Filet o' fish

What are we supposed to take away from this? We may never know.

Smh more nerds fall for the trap of acknowledging any fallout game made after 1997. /v/ has fallen, billions must game

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

I don't know what this image is trying to say, but I don't care for the Bethesda RPG game loop and love isometric CRPGs so it's all garbo after 2, even though I've suffered through them all. Even NV suffers from the absolute jank that is Gamebryo.

[–] Procapra@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

The worst part is I agree with this post.
