[E3 Thread] - Video Games are still a thing?

Nine Men Allowed
for 9 rings, you see
Reading that Ni No Ni Kuni 2 spoiler...should...should I go back and wrap that up or what
Nah. I don’t think the sequel has much to do at all with the original.
No Mutants Allowed
Fallout 3 wrecked Fallout, etc.
i watch this video literally every time it's posted and it's just as funny every time.
i love it so.
Welp, I just bought the game now.

Don’t make up words, please.
For some of them Fallout 2 wrecked Fallout.
All words are made up.
Well, maybe not onomatopoeias.
If it’s just Sonic and his friends, I don’t care
I wanna play as NiGHTS and Ulala again
... There's giant mutants, glowing ghouls, deathclaws, glowing soda, floating robots, everything looks like it was designed in the 50s, and people literally carry handheld nukes
Realism was never on the table! It's a wasteland fantasy, not 'well akschyully in Chernobyl nature thrived'

It's a really popular mod and a pretty common discussion about fallout 4
Someone mentioned it a oage back but I'm not specifically saying this about a discussion anyone is having here
Also Fallout 4 is one of my all time favourite games so maybe I'm broken or something
This is one of things that I appreciated about Horizon Zero Dawn.
But I wouldn't call it played out, it's part of the 50s retro aspect. Moving on from that would be changing a core visual aspect of Fallout's identity. It would be like Mad Max in a jungle. Or Star Wars without space. Neon green wasteland IS part of Fallout
How? Most of the 1950s nuclear holocaust films didn't take place in irradiated wastelands where nothing grew. That is mostly a Mad Max thing and even then it was mostly because it took place in a specific part of Australia.
As for fallout. I didn't really care for 4 all that much. I don't know if I was burned out on Bethesda games when I played it but it didn't really click with me. I'm personally not looking forward to their take on a multi-player survival game if this is what 76 is.
Elder Scrolls 6 couldn't come fast enough at this point.
New things can be made. Humans, for all their flaws, are fanatic about making new shit. You can hire artists who can design new things that still look like they were cobbled together in a wasteland. I bet that would be fun
But 4 games of the same ugly-ass trash style is boring
Alright not 50s
But its certainly part of its retro thing. Same sort of genre as Radioactive Man from the Simpsons or the Gamma World roleplaying setting.
There are loads of ways to do a post apocalyptic nuclear world besides RUINED BUILDINGS, DIRT, SCRAP TOWNS
Have one set in the fuckin Pacific Northwest where the forests have mutated and become crazy radioactive nightmares and the people have become primarily sea faring folks due to the danger posed on land
Cover for the first Gamma World book:
You can even do it in Fallout as a spice/occasional relief to the motif
But the main aesthetic is probably going to remain toxic wasteland because thats part of the brand. Glowing green ooze, goofy mutated giant bugs etc
And while I totally understand being bored of that, I still love it and it still has its fans.
I've just personally had about as much fun as I'm ever going to in that world and if Bethesda doesn't have any interest in moving that setting forward then I'll just sit on my hands til the next Elder Scrolls
They had a unique feel to them thanks to the lighting and visual design and weren't just abandoned scrap
I try to remember anything about the design of 4 and it's essentially the floating ship, and uh, how some of it looked like Boston that one time I visited?
I definitely remember feeling disappointed that the one big city shows up so early on and that that was it for large settlements; one of the fun things about large open worlds for me is basically being a tourist and seeing new towns, and it was just like......oh.

It just... wasn't as interesting to explore as the previous two games. It was definitely a better shooter, but that's about it.
Fallout: New Vegas was the best RPG of the three though (I'm not considering the Interplay series, since I've never played them). Obsidian actually took the time to include various checks throughout the game to make your choice of perks and character stats seem like they mattered. All your SPECIAL did in 4 it seemed was arbitrarily block off various perks.
New Vegas also had better story, dialogue, and characters.
Keeping the rain out is some basic shelter functionality and most fallout homes cant do it despite being occupied for decades
Seriously I'm supposed to believe you live here and just never bothered to get rid of the skeleton in the bedroom?
sure be too tired to clean up most things but that's a dead body
The result is skeletons pretty close to settled areas, people going about their business right next to raiders, people not getting murdered in super mutant infested areas, trash everywhere where you would expect people to clean up, etc. I get that it all being on the same map means they can't do what Fallout 1 and 2 did, but other open world games with one giant map have done it better.
Like would it have killed them to have that ghoul kid stuck in a refrigerator farther from his ghoul parents?
