@ceruleanspark It is. The people who have job as a reviewer gives professional reviews while the consumer say other wise.
-
@doates Meanwhile, in my opinion... "Well, the consumer is less likely to have been bought off."
-
@scribus Consumers aren't always smart, though. Ever seen Portal reviews?
-
@ceruleanspark I have yet to play many of them.
-
@redenchilada Honestly, I don't pay much attention to reviews from anyone whose taste I'm not already deeply familiar with. And sometimes, it's specifically because I know how often I disagree with them.
-
@scribus I be tehy are complaining about the ending of the game. I say: Its just a game and I get attacked.
-
@redenchilada 'It's a shame the game ends with you falling into that fire pit"

@redenchilada I have only heard good reviews by players. Mostly what I myself think of the game; yet again, I only hear/read reviews from sources I agree with.
-
@doates I also haven't played any of them, so. . . I really have no idea what the fuss is. As far as I can understand from my reading, people are mad because it wasn't a Super Happy Fun Time Ending of Supreme Joy (seven exclamation points).

@nerthos "it would be so much better if you could shoot people" -CoDbananass
-
@scribus People aren't mad because it isn't a happy ending, they're mad because the ending they were given completely ignores everything you've done up to that point.
-
@redenchilada >Implying you could find something to shoot at. "It's a kid's game, talks about cake"
-
@ceruleanspark Ah, that sounds more valid. But even still, you know, it's a cold and unfeeling 'verse. Or something. Hay! David Lynch should work on a video game! Then you'll never know if it ignored everything you did, or who you were even playing, or if it's even over yet...

@scribus The primary motif of the series has always been "Your choices determine your situation". Then, for the climax of the series, they remove all your choices.
-
@redenchilada Fun thing, I played that game at 5-20 FPS. Still managed to finish and love it. I want to replay it to do the entire game arrying an object.
-
@nerthos I played the game with a graphics card that couldn't draw portals properly. They were just holes.
-
@ceruleanspark Best endings are Dragon Age style, you get a narration determined by every single thing you did.
-
@nerthos Fallout had that way before Dragon Age

@ceruleanspark Heh. Mine was a GeForce 6200. The Radeon 9600pro was incompatible.
-
@ceruleanspark Sadly I haven't finished any Fallout :( I don't know if it's the barren landscape or the fact that (at least in Fallout 3) there's hardly any challenge, since everything can be easily fixed playing as a tactic sharpshooter. Even deathclaws running at you fall easily to the sniper rifle.
-
@nerthos If you set your stats up right they fall easily to being punched in the face too.
-
@nerthos Fallout: New Vegas fixes every problem I had with Fallout 3. Especially the Deathclaws. They never get easy to kill.
-
@ceruleanspark That. I have that. That pony. Yes. Pony. Pony pony pony.
-
@toksyuryel Its a shame NV lacks so much of FO3's atmosphere. The technical improvements alone make it worth playing of course, but....eh.
-
@nerthos New Vegas fixes these problem so well that I actually beat the game twice to see different endings, and I got about halfway through a third run before I decided I should probably do more with my time than play one game all day every day.
-
@lightningcrash Pony pony pony pony?
-
@ceruleanspark Yup. Still, everypony always told me "Choose energy weapons, choose energy weapons" I hate them and classical weapons excel at what they do. I carry constantly an assault rifle, a couple greanades, a sword an a sniper.
-
@toksyuryel I have yet to finish 3 to play it.
-
@ceruleanspark I prefer NV's atmosphere, to be quite honest. FO3 bores me pretty quickly.
-
@nerthos I used to hate energy weapons, but having done an NV run with them, they've really grown on me as a means of solving people problems
-
@toksyuryel Happened to me with Oblivion, but mostly because there were too few enemies on screen, so I just got OP too early on the game, and difficulty only made the fights longer, because enemies barely hit me.
-
@nerthos You don't need to finish 3 to play it. I never got more than halfway through 3 before I quit out of boredom. Fallout: New Vegas is as much related to Fallout 3 as Final Fantasy VII is related to Final Fantasy VI.
-
@toksyuryel I feel like the game flow changed a lot too. From many disparate quest-givers to quest-hubs.
-
@nerthos Oblivion was even more boring to me than Fallout 3 is. Never got more than a third of the way through that one.
-
@ceruleanspark Thing is, they use ammo too, and look uglier. Why bother? The only energy weapon (if it can be classified as that) I liked was a Coilgun from a mod.
-
@spectrumscramble I just played close range headshooting everything sometimes.
-
@nerthos Melee is quite a fun option for a challenging playthrough, I find. More so in New Vegas than in 3, though; good melee weapons were generally easier to come by in 3.
-
@spectrumscramble I barely used anything but the sword.
-
@greatandpowerfuleaglehooves Pony pony pony pony. PONY.
-
@nerthos They have a better crit rate and interchangeable ammo. I still like my .308 though.
-
@toksyuryel I don't know why, but that game enthralled me to no extent.
-
@ceruleanspark I never really got that feeling from it… especially since there's *so many* quests (a lot of them faction-based). It's kinda hard to define a side-quest in the game since everything ties into the overall storyline somehow.
-
@nerthos There's a Gauss gun in one of the DLC's and NV. My avatar is carrying one actually. NV also introduces energy weapons with infinite ammo, as wel as various mods that allow conventional energy weapons to regenerate ammunition. Also, the flamethrower is an energy weapon. I love flamethrowers!
-
@ceruleanspark I love the Tesla Cannon. This is my favorite New Vegas weapon: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Tesla-Beaton_prototype
-
@ceruleanspark A shame flamethrowers are banned IRL. I don't know why, but electromagnetic weapons are something I love greatly. Maybe because of their infinite potential or the fact I can build one with little effort.
