Fallout 3

i want to replay this game again, haven’t played it since I lose my ps3, but also i don’t want to waste 1 month modding it on pc

Is there any other equivalent to FWE for New Vegas? Or is it just Project Nevada or cobbling together 50 different mods yourself?

Why is it suddenly in vogue to hate this game? I was massively popular in it's day.

Just pirate the GOG version, it has most of the shit pre-patched. I haven't had any issues besides one crash.
Unless you mean wasting 1 month downloading 200000+ mods, then I don't know.

Most Anon Babble wasn't here when it released

yeah the second, mostly atmospheric mods like making night absolute dark or different wheatear like raining

i'm positive that every aspect of project nevada has been replaced by standalone mods but I dont think anyone grouped them unless they caught that 5 seconds when nexus was doing modlists.

There were always critics, but they were just not as vocal. Same thing with Oblivion.
It's just amplified 1000x on here.

well oblivion got all the criticism with horse armors. i remember some bitchfits about the super console heavy release of FO3 but dunno if anyone really shat on the game at any point. the pitt maybe.

around 6pm

exit megaton

everything is blue

everything is blue

Only people who shat on F3 were old PC boomers angry that it isn't the plodding tedious slog that the first two games were.

that's fallout 4

I think originally people used to shit on it because of stuff like the DC metro system, and muh east coast super-mutants, but then New Vegas came out and it became really popular to hate on FO3, and it's been that way ever since.

ive always loved the DC metro conceptually, its just good gaming.

shitty main story

hasn't aged well at all technically; crashes more than trannie vegas

retarded alien dlc

bethesda's entry into the fallout series

I like going through the dc metro though

I don't mind the metro so much as I really dislike the office building dungeons.
probably the most tedious part of Fo3's metro system is the trip between GNR station and the Mall, because it's a LOOOONG trip with a few weird double-backs through certain areas like Dupont Circle.

DC Metro

I never managed to discover all the locations. There was one place I never found the route to.

remembers the metro tunnels

No thank you

nah.
a very small amount of shit stirrers kept trying to pump up fallout 3 while blatantly seething over New Vegas over the years.
Random shit posters have a number of things they will do to try to bait arguments over fallout, and they have finally decided to start crying about 3 more directly.

You get bad karma for giving a dude nuka cola to give to a chick he wants to marry and is already protecting, but good karma for helping a girl date rape a priest

Christian devs btw

sierra is my wife so of course its bad karma

It's especially funny because if Ronald wanted to rape Sierra could very easily. They're the only people in town and she's a complete airhead. But instead he wants her to fall for him legitimately.

The morality makes no sense

Anon Babble is populated by a cult of bethesda hating fallout fans which originated when bethesda saved the series from extinction back in the 00s. they came here and spammed "/nvg/ - new vegas general" every day until people got memed into thinking 3 was bad.

compared to FNV of course 3 is terrible but it's still pretty good

this is false. nvbabbies got buttblasted when fallout 4 released and /fog/ stopped posting about new vegas. they moved to Anon Babble and created a new vegas general. mods sometimes used to do they job and delete it but not often enough. eventually the nvfags repeated themselves long enough that people mistook it for a consensus.

If they hated the direction the series took and preferred FO1&2, wouldn't they shit on both newer games?

There would be 0 hate for this game if sharty kids didn't try to force meme it. It's that simple.

No, they pretend that obsidian is the same as Black Isle and pretend like NB isn't 90% identical to 3.

FNV is much more true to 1&2 in style, uses the new engine shit much better than 3, and the story and addons are all really well written and designed.

Wrong. The hate started before it even released. Neckbearded Fallout fans from NMA began an online hate crusade as soon as Bethesda acquired the I s p.

wake up

milk my brahmin

take a shit

get out of bed

go to the Brass Lantern

order an ice cold Nuka-Coka

eat my breakfast: brahmin shit

stare at Nova for a few hours

let Moriarty know that I have good karma and Pakistan has bad karma

go back to my bed

masturbate and rest

Just another day roleplaying in Megaton

fallout 3 thread with a totally benign op

seething about New Vegas instead of talking about 3

Fallout 3 fans not beating the allegations

the story and addons are all really well written and designed

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. The game is blatantly unfinished and barely makes sense.

shut the fuck up, disingenuous faggot

what's your favorite location or quest, anon?
What's your favorite weapon or npc, anon?

Fallout New Vegas is much closer to Fallout 2 in design, but neither are close to(or as good as) Fallout 1.

nope, FNV main quest is extremely well polished as it weaves you through all the games factions. the addons arent just disjointed retardation like FO3's (which i mostly dont hate) but all build up the same coherent narrative that peaks in the epilogue.

i admit that lots of people hate dead money conceptually, with the stealing of your gear and fighting undying ghostmans. i love that the most.

this is false, and you are one of those shitstirrers
try again

New Vegas has giant 5 star casinos in the middle of the apocalypse. It's just as retarded as Fallout 3.

NTA, but unironically the wasteland survival guide might be one of the best tutorial quests ever put in to a video game .

herp derp this is a totally normal fallout 3 thread just look at the completely normal OP oh gee why aren't you talking about the game

fuck off faggot

yeah everyone quickly realized it's tactics 2 and forget about it until 9 years ago fo3 lost to fnv in /v poll...

i admit that lots of people hate dead money conceptually,

Dead Money was one of the few parts of NV that was actually kinda fun.

I just rushed the main story, totally vanilla no DLC on gamepass, and it's still a good game. Very basic compared to all the shit that came after, but it's still a good romp through the wastes.
I just skipped the fucking tunnels as much as possible. Fuck 3dog, I don't need to go see his stupid ass through that mess lol.

lost the urban setting

Did you completely forget about inner city Boston somehow?

how dare a few buildings remain standing because defense systems were activated

come on, shit stirrer.

it's 100% true

cute brownie

Agreed. its a really good example of the quest design bethesda is capable of but usually refuses to do.

I have to admit navigating all those streets and finding unmapped locations and shit on rooftops was pretty cool.

ask xer about tenpenny tower

Wasteland Survival Guide is all right. I agree it works well as a tutorial quest and the rewards (mostly the stat boosts) are decent. Do you have a favorite leg of the quest?

I think my favorite quest is either Reily's Rangers or You Gotta Shoot 'Em In the Head

normal people moved on to fallout 4 over 10 years ago. only terminally online losers still cling to nv.

how is that retarded? its a logical result of parodying howard hughes a real historical rich lunatic/genius that lived inside a casino.

i love it but like any time a game steals your gear that you've been working on the whole fucking game its ballsy and can easily turn the player against it. i liked the little vending resource system in dead money though and the new weapons you get to play with.

inner city boston is unironically smaller than one disconnected segment of DC ruins and always open to the coast and almost none of the buildings are even intact enough to enter. somehow fo4 managed to become smaller than fo3. and then you get to the performance problems that destroy any hope of fun mass gunfights like FWE gives you.

Case in point

rare concrete building in a bunch of wooden wrecked buildings

"how could it remain standing?"

suddenly

Holy fuck you're new.

the city in fallout 4 looks fucking terrible, it reminds me of concord or mirror's edge, too clean and sleek, nowhere near as kino as the deco goth look of ruined DC.

wrong and false.
shit stirrers are retarded as usual.
the tiny faction of purists remain the same as ever.
what happened is that bethsda was bethesda and so all fallout bethesda fans naturally began hating bethesda.
you are a retarded newfag so you naturally don't understand these things.

you MUST always play the new thing even if it desecrates the setting

nah, i don't like trash collecting crafting games for kids

this image was 100% made after NV released, this was not made by an oldfag you fucking poser.

Objectively correct

I have been posting on Anon Babble for far longer than anyone should and I am telling you what happened based on first hand experience.

from where tenpenny tower get electricity? casinos have hoover dam

Reposting a classic.

no guys I am an oldfag I swear

as if that would even mean anything.
most of you were retarded back then and too stupid to understand what was happening, the same as people are now.

nuclear age

"where did da powah cum frum?"

finally.
proper critique.

FNV is much more true to 1&2 in style

Of course, but you could just as easily accuse it of being Oblivion w guns as you could 3

So you admit you weren't actually there. Good you can shut the fuck up and go somewhere else now.

cope. i was there you weren't.

no guys we are BOTH the same oldfag

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
damn shit stirrers, can't even coordinate your bullshit?

nooooooooo

Yes. It's stupid. Everyone outside the strip is homeless and eating rats. The world has no economy yet we're supposed to believe there is a robot utopia where the elite gamble. Seriously, where does their wealth come from? Heck Gunderson is literally a rancher.

robot utopia

literally a struggling shithole the man in charge of has been attempting to make greater for decades

lmao the state of shit stirrers

Oh you're the schizo that accuses everyone of samefagging when she has no argument.

theres no elite, there's massive farms outside the city though and theres weapon and junk salesmen who work with scavs and gangs, probably to repair guns and robots and casinos.

respond in synch claiming you were the one who was there

get caught

"s-schizo!"

You are a better argument for my case than anything I could say
thank you.

oh NOW it's nuclear age and you can get electricity from the thin air, how convenient sharty fag

this desperate for attention

just flat out making up bullshit to sound more ignorant

have you tried onlyfans?

ye your mom eating shit there for free

It costs 2,000 caps to enter New Vegas. You'll also need to pay for your room, food, and gambling. Your average NPC only has 20 caps, so where does this wealth come from?

Only one of us claimed that, it was me.

I see the Fallout fandom is still as obnoxious and retarded as ever.

This thread blows. It's like 2-3 fuckin assmad losers arguing with one another about shit that doesn't matter. Just talk about the games, faggots.

yes the both of you are "one person"
wink wink

2 robot utopias.

so where does this wealth come from?

ever tried to read the entire post and not just the first 2 words moron?

2000 caps is like 200 meat

It was partially partially a response to complains from people about ugly colors, and partially because of the death of Fallout 3's sole concept artist.

I like 3 and New Vegas.

Ever try to comprehend that farmers and repairmen aren't the elite? Literal retarded New Vegas fag, get fucked. Your game's plot is just has stupid as Bethesda. You even get shot in the brain within the first 30 seconds.

I'm still baffled how FO3 is still the best Bethesda game, despite all its flaws, it's still a decent open world with fun quests and some compelling characters.

Based anon. Me too. They're both fun games that helped revitalize interest in the series.

Before someone comes at me, I like F1 and F2 as well. And 4. I just like Fallout, man.

What about Morrowind and Home Alone (NES)?

And 4

I like how this is partly and technically correct in some ways but written in such a way to be misinformative as possible.
"recover a GECK, a device which be better put to use in virtually any possible manner besides the one which we had acquired it."
Really think what was just said, the magicial macguffin being used in one of its intended ways, was not good enough for this poster and needed to be used in some other vague nonsense that was never described.
Honestly entire post is very clever whether it was intentional or not but it managed to convince a huge majority of midwits to run down this ideology about the "lore" aspects of the game. When this first was being spammed on Anon Babble I absolutely hated it cause of the midwits but I never saw the elegance of the shitpost that it really is. I really wonder if this guy knew the kind of impact this screen cap had, really there are communttlies and youtube channels dedicated to this bizarre culture war over this post help create.

farmers and repairmen aren't the elite

Gambling is not for the High Caste club members, retarded jeet, it's not India. If you have 2000 caps you can go in.

Yeah, yeah. I'm a peanut-brained chimp that claps at jiggling car keys. I just like shootan and lootan through decrepit buildings and cities.

Fallout 4 dumbed down hacking way too much.
And I hate how notes are items in the inventory (and thus are not sorted by recency), and that keys are not grouped in the keyring.

next youre gonna say you like kotor 1 and 2 fucking sicko

Because the GECK is described as a terraformer, basically. Why use it just for a single part for the water purifier, and not revitalizing the fucking scorched earth around the capital?

It's only vague if you don't know what the GECK actually does

Contrarian faggot

exactly.
I suppose the idea was that fixing the water purifier would fix most of the area eventually by slowly purging the water table.

Rude.

slowly purging the water table.

DESU that doesn't even make sense because all the water in DC comes from upriver of where PP is.

fix most of the area eventually

You can do exactly this but instantly with the GECK, retard.

even better then.
fallout washing through from upriver will get purged as well, resulting in a better net effect.
also, the most civilized sections of fallout 3 are technically rivet city, "downstream" ish from the purifier.

no, the geck has clear limits in size based on fallout 1 and the city where it was used.
the purifier has the potential to affect a much wider area.

most civilized sections

literally only Rivet City. You do know which way the Potomac River flows, right?

Let me phrase the complaint with a metaphor of sorts.
Why would you the screw head attachment on the multi purpose switchblade instead of the scissors to cut some cloth.
The purpose of the GECK is multi purpose and to complain that the technology isn't being used for the "greater" purpose is being highly intellectually dishonest.

nope. I dont pay attention to the east side of the states.

But they're not using Project Purity to cleanse the entire area. All they're doing it making a basin of radiation free water that they're passing around the cities. That's it. That's the goal.

has clear limits in size

you just pulled it out of your ass, there's no specifications on this matter

in my most charitable interpretation i'd say the geck cant do shit about water without a water chip and project purity is a reimplementation of that somehow.

and Pakistan has bad karma

criticism is that the conditions aren't good enough on vague metrics

dude did you know the conditions were not good enough on my subjective standards

Your point exactly is?

I don't have a point. I just think Project Purity is a dumb idea that Bethesda thought up so they could create some kind of thematic resonance with Fallout 1's quest to grab a "water chip."

So your point is to prove me right...
I don't understand what the issue is then exactly.

Bethesda thought up so they could create some kind of thematic resonance with Fallout 1's quest to grab a "water chip."

It's nearly like its some kind of soft reboot, fight for survival with water, kicked out of the vault, the greater threat involving the enclave & BoS.

People don't understand the story. The purifier is just for a basin of water outside the memorial, not the ocean. You can see the basin turn clear blue and radiation free if you have Broken Steel installed. Let me explain what people miss.

Revelation 21:6. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life, freely

Let me break it down

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end

God, aka our Father.

I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life

Water keeps us alive. God is saying he will give each of us a fountain of water. This means he will give us eternal life (heaven).

freely

With no strings attached.

In the game, our father sacrifices his life to ensure that water can be distributed freely. The Enclave, on the other hand, seeks to control this vital resource, granting them power over the people. I don't believe the plot is any less compelling than that of New Vegas. The writing often goes over the heads of the average player, which is why many struggle to grasp the significance of our character's sacrifice at the end of the story. In the Bible, Jesus sacrifices his life so that everyone can attain salvation. While I'm not suggesting that our character is a direct representation of Jesus, our sacrifice is intended to symbolize Christ's sacrifice.

no jesus its your destiny to climb up on that cross, i your cross-immune sworn companion can't do it for you.
