What was with the late 2000s trend of making the world map as ugly as humanly possibly?

why is this world that has been nuked ugly

neck yourself before you shrek yourself

It may not look like much, but this first glimpse at the map cracked a lot of eggs.

its the apocalypse you fucking retard

In New Vegas' defense is the more beautiful they could make the Las Vegas region. Freeside is NOT an exaggeration.

humanly possibly

take your bait thread and go back to your favela, ESLfag

Doesn't this shit take place like centuries after the nukes went off?
Most of this should've been rebuilt already, shit looks like it has been only a few years.

games had soul back then

yes
people have been pointing this issue out for 20 years
the fallout world should have trees and greenery everywhere

I played it on release and was kind a disappointed at first. luckily other mechanics of the game carry it hard

Consoles too shitty to render anything better

obsidian was a small studio and they couldn't afford to do too much

Look up Goodsprings irl and compare it to the game.

They made Fallout 4 quite lush, colorful and vertical to compensate and people still bitched

make big tall buildings

make most inaccessible

Bethesda is truly special

Lmao wtf is this ps1 game

200 years after the apocalypse where people are still living in shacks and wooden buildings that somehow havent rotted away
No

Would 200 rooms full of like one super mutant and some caps really have improved anything.

make city in skyrim and make every house accessible

people bitch because there's just 12 houses

make city in fo4 big with many big buildings but make many inaccessible

people bitch because they can't enter them

I wonder what it'll take to make this tired old retard complaint fuck off. Here's reality:

buildings you can access with worthwhile shit in them

realistically sized cities

game that isn't vaporware

pick 2 and only 2

colorful environments > brown n' bloom

People live in a barren wasteland in shacks and wooden buildings in goodsprings nevada in 2025 I dont know why you think a nuclear fallout would change it

cuz bloom and vaseline screen were easy ways to hide shit textures and jagged triangluar terrain, so the games could run on outdated console hardware

Most of this should've been rebuilt already

you'd think this when you live in countries like Australia and America that built up from nothing 100 years ago, but then you realise that most of the world is 3rd world shitholes that have been around 40,000 years and literally still live in mud huts.

They have in Fallout 1/2 with Shady Sands and ending Arroyo, but kinda forgot how to by Fallout 3 and defaulted to eternal shantytowns and trash everywhere.

To be fair, nobody should be rebuilding cities since they should all be eternally irradiated deathtraps, but there's no reason for non-shitty human settlements to not exist by now too.

Moron. With the right artistic vision you can make a wasteland look colorful and appealing. New Vegas has shit tier visual design.

Bottom of the barrel.

Thats what happens when you look at LOD models close-up, nearly every 3D open world game uses them

Consoles are the only reason pc ever gets any games. Enjoy gta 6 in 2028 btw.

NV trannies bitched yeah

Tbf that's just obsidian's dumb idea to make an open world game take place in a desert

Desert

Steam is 81% of the industry just on its own

PC never gets any games

Try playing the game next time retard

vertical

youre still stuck to the ground and the inside of the three buildings you can go into all the look the same and you can't look out any windows. shit fucking engine

this looks like a plastic cod map

wooden buildings that somehow havent rotted away

Anon wood just doesn’t rot like that. There are wooden buildings over 1,000 years old still today.

It's not that bad. Has that radioctive wild west feel to it.

Just mod it, bro

pick 2 and only 2

Starfield was in development for nearly a decade, so clearly picking none was a valid option.

nice bait

has to post a modded version to make an argument and it still doesnt look that good

That's an early 2010s game tho

NV is such a comfy game. Remaster in the style of Oblivion when?

the colours aren't the problem here
