FO3 is not nearly as bad as you hystronic nerds make it out to be

[ZeniBot]

1. I didn't buy Morrowind on Console because it didn't exist yet
2. When I did buy Morrowind I WAS A HIGHSCHOOL STUDENT and to be fair my friends pressured me into buying it even though at the time I was more interested in Deus Ex
3. My purchasing of Oblivion was the turning point as at that point I realised Todd was a conartist
4. I hadn't played Daggerfall, Morrowind was my introduction to TES. My first Bethesda game was Skynet which I bought out of a bargain bin for $1.
5. when I had played Daggerfall for the first time (immediately after Oblivion) I realised my mistake, this was down to me having the demo on a magazine, the demo sucked but I eventually downloaded that free copy Bethesda was giving away when Oblivion first came out.

Keep in mind the age I would have had to had been to have played Daggerfall at release. I played the demo version after Morrowind as it came with a magazine, the Demo is a bit shit and doesn't do the final game justice.
I'm sure a lot of people had the same experiences. Now that I'm a lot older I realise the mistakes we made I'm just pissed off at how much damage they did. I massively regret supporting them and I will never ever support them again.

Also keep in mind at the time I was buying the ever living fuck out of Interplay's titles. I supported Interplay far more than Bethesda. I supported Ion Storm far more as well, I bought all their games. Still made no fucking difference.

You're criticising my actions from a time where video games were vastly different things. Everyone on this site is probably guilty of supporting decline in some form. That doesn't excuse how fucking exploitative its all become. Game companies are out to steal your money, but they weren't always. I had a bit more trust of the industry than I do now. I was a naive kid. Shareware spoiled me and made me appreciate the relationships we had with studios at the time. The first warning sign was when they stopped doing Demos. It was around that time that I stopped supporting the industry tbh.

Similar shit happened with Invisible War btw. I bought that game not realising how much of a dud it was. Lot of people fell for that. It was common back then. We know better now what our actions can do and the damage it can do overall to the things we care about if we don't critique and keep things in check.

Grow up and play the videogames you like instead of spending your free time shitting on the ones you don't like.

I would if they were still being made.

They didn't even pressure you into buying(Jagged Alliance 2,planetscape Torment,Fallout1, etc...) your friends have shit tastes.

Interplay released the amazing game Fallout Brotherhood of Steel in exchange to your efforts (and your wallets)(totally worth it ) (Huge Incline).

I'm Sorry,I didn't know all the story.

Jagged Alliance 2,planetscape Torment,Fallout1, etc....

Tactics and Sacrifice were like the last two games I got from them. I also got EWJ included with my DVD drive for some reason lol. Oh I also remember getting Descent 3 as well. *actually I lie Star Fleet Command 2 was the last game going by the dates. I thought it was earlier.

Jagged Alliance 2

They did but this was later after we had essentially stopped being friends. I really love the shit out of JA2 especially the 1.12 mod.

Sure Interplay released the amazing game Fallout Brotherhood of Steel (Huge Incline).

fuck you that doesn't exist. It never did.

YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC, DO NOT QUESTION THE MILLIONS OF NORMALCUCKS WHO CONSUME PRODUCT AND NEXT PRODUCT AFTER THAT BEEP BOOP ORANGE MAN BAD REE

Oh you're gonna fit in well around here.

Everywhere else: "you are not the target demographic" -> "oh ok"
RPG Codex: "you are not the target demographic" -> "REEEEE NORMALCUCKS"

Spoiler

It's even funnier because you are demonizing people who simply play games ocassionally as opposed to shitting on games 24/7 like the other retards here do.

Those are the same people that buy every Halo and can't wait for the next MCU film. They are morons.

I am always impressed when I realize that some people take what many say here on Codex as a literal truth. I mean... This site is edgelord heaven. It's a place for many to come to have fun and talk shit about games they don't like (or even like) because it's fun to do it once in a while to relax. 95% of users are not basement dwellers and do not have their own bunker (except Cleve), they're normal, boring people who do normal, boring things in their daily lives. But here, they may come to say that Fallout 3 is the greatest heretical disgrace that has ever existed on the face of the earth and that everyone involved should die. Fun times.

If you can't figure this out and filter the messages to see what's happening (taking advantage of the good discussions and interesting debates that eventually appear here), you'll end up getting paranoid. Either that, or you're part of that 5% that's really not normal and probably has erotic dreams imagining what it would be like to live in Elder Scrools' world and have sex with an argonian. And if that's your case, well, you need help.

Does he surpass mfkndggrfll in number of retarded ratings in one post?

 

[Semiurge]

Fallout 3 was the previous games as imagined by Steven Spielberg. Prissy 50s nostalgia laden on top of a society that against all odds "works" despite of having been stuck in barbarism and scavenging on the dead and poisoned land for the past 100 years or something. And then there's the "family matters" motivation for the player character, and since runty kids are a staple of the 'Berg, there's also one in the game's tutorial - you.

Codex works best when it's exaggerated hate based on real flaws, with real critiques based on mechanics and design. I lurked here and eventually joined because of the Oblivion review, because literally every other site was sucking that game's dick to an absurd degree and the Codex was the only place saying "wait... I think this game is bad." Doing it in the "Todd raped my asshole and the game gave me AIDS!!!" way is Codex troll personality, sure, but the actual criticisms were valid and there, and no one else was making them. I think too often though edgelords who just love ridin' the edge shit all over everything just because it's fun for them, as you say. It's a shame we can't get one without the other, but that's free expression for ya. Still, I wouldn't trade the honest reactions and criticisms I saw of Outer Worlds when it came out for anything.

 

[Akratus]

I think in terms of modern games, the bar was lower back when Fallout 3 was released. Not to say the bar is all that high now, but I think Fallout 4's reception took a big hit because the Witcher 3 had been released and people had something to compare it too. Even though Fallout 4 is better than Fallout 3, people see it the other way around. But they're both quite shit so I guess it doesn't matter.

 

[Sykar]

Just want to point out what the fuck those people are then even doing on a site like this then. If they don't want a discussion about critical aspects then what the fuck are they doing in a THREAD DISCUSSING CRITICAL ASPECTS OF THE GAME! as I've said in the fallout 76 thread. A person that was currently playing games casually wouldn't be posting, they would be playing the damn game. So I have to wonder if this is merely guerrilla marketing and you're all that stupid to fall for it.

This has nothing to do with RPG Codex. The truth is people not present on this site are being called "normalcucks" just because they aren't overly critical of a damn videogame. When did having fun become a crime against humanity? Grow up and play the videogames you like instead of spending your free time shitting on the ones you don't like.

Such a retarded disingenuous strawman hyperbole. Criticizing retards for having bad taste, no standards and rewarding terrible business practices does not mean that anyone thinks it is a crime against humanity.

Everything Bethesda made is shit. I had some fun in Fo3 but not much and it was pretty shit.

 

[Black Angel]

I am always impressed when I realize that some people take what many say here on Codex as a literal truth.

But that's the truth. I'm not saying literally everything said on the Codex is the truth, but an atom of them are.

Even then, I'd take Codex shitposting any day over blind ignorance of graphic whorism and the lowest common denominators' primal desire to consoom which make up the 99.999999999999999999999999% of the taste out there.

We've gone from "Fallout 3 is trash" through "Fallout NV is also trash" into "Morrowind was never good" so far in this thread.

Anvi who always says the same thing about Bethesda games nonwithstanding, I'm giving it max 5 more pages before everyone remaining here is on the page of "Bethesda never made a good game".

ARENA was pretty good.

My 12 year old son convinced me to play Fallout 3. 90 hours of game later I put him up for adoption.

Asking just out of curiosity. What the hell did even do there for 90 hours? There are like 20 quests in F3 altogether.

 

[Duralux for Durabux]

ARENA Daggerfall was pretty good.

You played this turd during 90 hrs

They have. Back when they were a small studio making PC games.

But I think it’s time Fallout fans grow up and admit that FO3 could have been way worse. It is, for all intents and purposes, the gameplay of FO1/2 transplanted into an open world FPS.
