Fallout 4 Pre-Announcement Bullshit Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

im more irked that those robots are claimed to be 200 years old but are still functioning and even roams around freely in the wild without even a speck of rust on them.

 

In the 50's, things were apparently built to last.

 

wat

 

Wouldn't "You have acquired tetanus" work better?

Tetanus is the worst vaccine also. Fucking hurt for months where they jabbed me.

 

Dunno, my thought process was that since you "catch" a cold, you could use the term for all infectious diseases, such as those you would catch from touching a heap of junk that spent the last few decades exposed to the elements

 

NV is a Fallout spinoff, not an actual Fallout game.

Therefore, all and everything in it has nothing to do with real Fallout setting or lore. Except as a lesser ripoff.
No amount of neanderthal wishing it to be different makes any difference Mr. Blakemore

 

Tetanus from robots is 10x worse than radiation poisoning from the Glow.

 

Since this reply is written by the Mystical Codex Legend, I'm going to violate my promise for this post. This is a very nice troll, and what's sad, it's coming from someone politically aligned with me.

Calling me a commie is one of the worst insults you can use. Just recently I wrote an article for a conservative site, contrasting the drab life in USSR with the amazing wealth generation and opportunity afforded by capitalism. There are plenty of Obama-Jugend who could benefit from your rhetoric in this day and age - I'm not one of them. I used to be a Lenin-Jugend, but I grew up in an environment which offered no traces of prosperity afforded by capitalism. After 1991, we started getting information from overseas, and everyone scrambled to GTFO into a capitalist country, be it America, Israel, Germany or U.K... people realized that they were robbed by a Statist government. Not so dissimilar in principle from the one that's now instituting the disastrous wealth redistribution policy called Affordable Care Act.

Politics aside, however strong your argument would be otherwise, it still falls firmly in the pile of FO:NV apologists.

Scarcity is scarcity. I didn't imply scarcity, the FO:NV designers did, but they don't want to live with the consequences. One clinic per large area should mean patient lines and exhausted doctors, PERIOD.

Especially at early stages of rebuilding, you still won't see such extravagant waste of resources as a freaking sentient robot defending a village. It's a STARK CONTRAST. One thing is a bartender robot in shiny tech prosperous world of 5th Element. Another thing is a futuristic robot standing in the middle of a muddy 18-th century village which isn't anywhere near the level of technology that the robot itself.

I can't believe so many people are taking it as a given. What SHOULD BE THERE is human armed guards. Not a wacky fucking robot. It ruins the world from the start.

As portrayed by FO:NV designers themselves, the world of FO:NV is NOT a prosperous place. It's NOT a place where New Vegas itself belongs. So in the end, it all boils down to the same thing with you as all the other apologists - the libertarian dream world that you speak of, isn't actually, coherently, present in the game.

Maybe it realistically WOULD BE, but it ISN'T portrayed with any degree of believability.

So you LARP it. You use the idea of it to excuse the actual nonsense of FO:NV's actual gameworld.

FO:NV is a LARPer game. One where the hollow ring of the world "Fallout" has long lost its impact, with the post-post-post-apocalyptic world hopelessly diluted by Fallout 2 and 3 into generic mash of poorly thought-out sci-fi.

Don't call me a commie again.

 

200 years after the war.

They implied scarcity? Everyone in Novac calls it a "boom town", Vegas itself is obviously prosperous (and even shitty Freeside and Westside reap some of the benefits), Primm has a functioning casino which people apparently went to before Powder Gangers overtook the town. The 188 Trading Post gets a lot of activity from caravans and shit like that - oh, and the caravan networks all over the Mojave imply a degree of prosperity or at least relative comfort for the Mojave's people - Nipton was a popular place for both NCR and Legion troops as well as civilians before the Legion went and fucked it up. All of this is in the game, shown in both dialogue and visually represented.

I dunno where you get the idea that people would be in such dire straits in the Mojave that they have to risk their lives scrapping a robot.

For all the things you could criticize New Vegas - and there's plenty of things, such as crappy Legion side of the main quest, cruddy engine, bad AI, etc - the cowboy robot is just the weakest criticism you could possibly pick.

EDIT: Just noticed this, which my brain somehow glossed over before:

There's literally an entire plot about the exhausted doctors of the Followers Of The Apocalypse in Freeside and how they're overrun with patients and low on supplies. It's a huge questline, practically impossible to miss. You did play the game, right?

 

A Libertarian complaining a fantasy world isn't matching up with reality.

FNV, if it were even trying to be realistic, wouldn't have anyone alive, or the people alive would be in such misery that no-one would play the game.

 

Of course. Only the numbered entries count as real Fallout games.

 

Yeah. I remember those from Fallout 1, the sensible, realistic Fallout game. Another doctor I met in that game was Doctor Who.

 

Fallout 3 is the fucking spin-off in everything but name.

 

San Andreas is a GTA 3 spinoff.

 

Why hasnt this thread been retardoed?

 

Going on 102 pages now. Bend over and accept the retardation, its too big to fail now.

Or is it?

 

For a developer/game franchise combination that the Codex supposedly hates with all its soul, it is a surprisingly popular discussion subject.

 

Youve been here over a year, you should know better.

 

Jim Cummings: "I find that term highly offensive! offensive... OFFENSIVE!!"

 

"Why hasn't this been retardoed yet?"

 

"Why are you guys talking about this game?"

 

"I thought the codex hated Fallout 3?"

 

"Codex loves their popamoles"
