Could be, those links are a few weeks old and I can't say I follow him on Twitter.

"Hey gais! Everybody loved Point Lookout, so let's make a whole game around swamps and inbreds! Wouldn't that be awsome?"
I dare to say, that not even Bethesda would beat that horse again. Whatever.

I for one hope for a "Fallout: Canada, eh". Let's travel to a place where people speak funny and everyone wears flanel. No, not Boston again, that other place.

New Locations: Places full of trees because nature has taken over again it always looked like that.

New Weapons:
Hockeysticks and axes. No firearms in civilian hands allowed. We are sorry.

New Quests: Visit L'Abernathy farm and rescue their kidnapped daughter Lucille! At least 7 times.

New Factions: Become general of the horseless mounties! Flanel outfit mandatory.

Or maybe "Fallout: Detroit" for a change?
Piper: "Blue look at that ruined city! This place has really been hit hard by nukes!"
Player: "Nah, it always looked like that. Not even China thought it was worth a nuke. Oh, look at all those farmers. They have jobs! Detroit has really improved over the last centuries!"

... I should go.

Point Lookout was the only relatively good thing about Fallout 3. It even had unmarked quests!

Moo?
If you were a stealthy character. Otherwise you had to slog through hillbillies with shotguns that could tank a nuke and then tear through Power Armor like tinfoil.

Point Lookout was the best FO3 DLC but that's not saying much when Anchorage and Zeta were terrible, Pitt was fairly small, and Broken Steel had little in the way of content and was more of a way to charge for playing past the main story.

Operation Anchorage was Bethesda's baffling attempt to turn Fallout 3 into a corridor shooter, despite the shooting being the absolute worst thing about the game besides the writing, and the only 'redeeming' feature of it was all the equipment it just gives you that will utterly tear apart what little semblance of balance the game desperately tries to maintain. Zeta was just Bethesda's excuse to take an already pretty stale joke in the base game and just utterly run it through the ground. The Pitt and Broken Steel were just mediocre, the former gives you a pretty bare-basic and amateur attempt at a morally ambiguous conflict, and Broken Steel was pretty much just them charging you $10 to actually finish the fucking game.

Point Lookout was the only one I would consider 'good', but even then it has its share of issues, the aforementioned level scaling hillbillies being amongst them.

Anchorage gave you the PA perk for free and a PA suit that never degrades. It feels so stupid it's funny.

Anchorage = $10 for overpowered guns/armor right off the bat. It's why I don't have an interest in waiting for a FO4 GOTY -- most Bethesda made DLC is terrible. I'm sure at least one of them will be based around settlement building (like a Sims pack). Especially since they did that Hearthfire thing for Skyrim.

TRIGGER WARNING: MrMattyPlays



Apologies for linking this guy again but this particular video is borderline infuriating. Reminder that he called Fallout 4 "near-perfect" on release (before backpedalling at mach 25 and gradually admitting more and more of its flaws) and has the fucking balls to criticize people using the same words to describe New Vegas.

Oh, and people only like NV because of nostalgia and because they personally hate Todd and because they're from NMA or something etc etc

Matty is the voice in my head when I think about the average Fallout fan on reddit.

Also no one is fucking calling New Vegas a perfect game. He just puts that in the title so he can justify his Todd loving nature.

The funniest thing is that the suit part was just a fuck up. It was supposed to degrade at a rate similar to most power armors, but they accidentally used the one that the NPCs in the simulation use that has millions of points worth of degradation. They just left it in because the fans like being able to basically fuck the game as early as level 8.

There was a similar issue in Mothership Zeta. You're supposed to be able to find one of the winter greatcoats that one of the Generals in the Anchorage DLC wears, but due to a programming error, the coat is just a set of the winter-decal combat armor found in the DLC instead. As far as I know, they've never fixed it, so if you're playing a console version of the game, you're pretty much just fucked.

Fucking matty.

This argument he makes makes my blood boil.

"Fallout New Vegas was really good in the roleplaying aspect, but that's just one aspect."

"Fallout 4 was good in the attention to detail in the world (muh immersion) and that's just one aspect too."

Is he fucking serious?

How are those AT ALL comparable? One is so much more important for a ROLE PLAYING GAME. Jesus fuck.

How the fuck can you turn corridor shooter into corridor shooter? Bethesda is all about "go there, murderfuck anything in this corridor dungeon and retrieve an item in this chest conveniently placed at it's end". In Skyrim they decided to place a hidden shortcut so people wouldn't see what piece of garbage they are playing.

Yeah, normally his videos produce a laugh or two but that one finally got to me.

The comforting thought that he's still in major damage control mode after shilling Fo4 so hard provides some solace though.

His mate saying "PEOPLE ARE COMPARING IT TO NEW VEGAS!!! IT SHOULD BE JUDGED ON ITS OWN MERITS" was a highlight too. We're not allowed to judge it as part of a series, for some reason. Nevermind the fact it's shit on its own merits anyway.

It was hard to understand what his friend was saying with how deep Todd's cock was in his throat.

Imagine if he got someone on who disagrees with him. Then they could argument for and against instead of just inviting his agreeing friend so they can jerk each other off about their opinion.
