Don't let them fool you, they are no children, but immortal beings whose sole purpose is to annoy you... "Another wanderer, here to lick my father's boots!", "I work with my mother to sell fruits and vegetables", "What're you lookin' at? I'm not afraid of you, ya know. Even if you are my elder"... No one can give birth to those evil manipulative beings, they can only be adopted, like a pet... Don't know why anyone would want to do that... Just a few hours ago I was playing Fallout 2 and discovered a new method of getting rid of those pesky pickpocket kids in the Den with zero consequences... I just let them steal my explosives... which, for some reason, happen to be armed...

Might as well...

When I woke up today, I felt a slight disturbance in the force... as if there's been an increase in the number of "haters"... Then I saw this on NMA... Seemed legit...

You are right but I think this is a new team of developers dedicated to this game and if they fail to fix this mess and make some money for Zenimax, they'll possibly end up "Telltaled".

Obviously inspired by Microsoft... https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/fallout-76-beta-extended-reports-bug-deletes-entire-thing-3613497 https://www.vg247.com/2018/10/31/fallout-76-pc-beta-bug-deleting-files-redownload/ I've told you, they are incompetent. Google's purple monkeys would do a better job. These idiots seem quite happy to pay Bethesda to do their job for them. I used to think that paying a company to become a product is the lowest point one could fall, looks like I was wrong...

While I agree with him on Zelda's stupid weapon degradation system and Detroit's cancerous "battle with the controller to do a simple thing", complaining about realism in actions and animations of RDR2 is a bit ridiculous and definitely NOT a valid point of criticism. It's kind of like complaining about a hearty well-prepared meal, because you have no time to eat it... If you think you're "wasting your time" while doing certain things in a game... how about not playing it at all, after all, playing games is a waste of time anyway... I understand why it's coming from this guy, who, by the way, looks like someone who'd rather have fast-food or a bowl of cereal instead, because as a game reviewer, he's probably played way too many worthless games and he just wants the games to be to the point and to end as quickly as possible. And, as he also seems to play games on consoles, even on handheld ones, such as Nintendo, he also seems to have the mindset that makes him think that all games should be "game like"... Honestly, by this logic, we should all be playing the 2D games of the early 80's now, because they'd load much faster and would end much quicker, and none of the "3D makeup" is necessary to create a fun game, right? Which also suggests, all those graphical enhancements in RDR2 were also a waste of time, because there's no difference between the smoke in that Monty Python movie and say, the "volumetric clouds" in RDR2... as they don't contribute to the "fun" in any tangible way at all... None of his criticism about the realism in RDR2 makes any sense to me, besides this game has much more serious issues as a "game", which he failed to address in his videos. It's really difficult for me to call RDR2 a "game", because it's not really an experience that the player creates himself, instead, it's an experience crafted for the player beforehand, much like a movie. As I said, I've been watching three different LPs and so far they've all played pretty much the same, except the order of missions. The game is full of unavoidable scripted events, and even the ending seems pretty much the same, no matter how you played the so called "game"...

What's this, some kind of an "ass" contest where the crowd gets to choose the best one? Edit: Never mind, I turned on the auto-translate thing and apparently that's indeed the case.

Can you imagine the feels when the gorgeous RPG character or the robot *you* created rejects you... "Get away from me, creep!"... It's probably going to be a thing one day, and people will post meme videos of it...

Don't know the Nexus but there's nothing on LL about this particular video. All I've seen in terms of criticism was a bunch of messages on NMA. Don't go and read the comments on BGS twitter account, that would probably shorten your life a couple of years.

Indeed. They are quite literally showing the middle finger to the creators of the Fallout IP and the fans of the older Fallout games. If someone wanted to mock FO76, this would be an appropriate video to show, what a bunch of retards...

This is definitely the thread where this piece of shit belongs to, one of the cringiest things I've ever seen lately... I wouldn't be able to find a better evidence to show you how Bethesda sees Fallout... No longer a horrible post-apocalyptic world, it's an amusement park where you shoot things and have fun... Yeah, have fun with FO5...

Part 4: Rehash Central (starts at 51:50) is especially relevant in terms of Bethesda reusing elements from older titles for no good reason, which obviously started with Fallout 3 (e.g. Super Mutants, the Enclave, BoS, GECK etc). I think their idea was or is "we paid millions to buy the IP, so we should reuse every goddamn thing in it, regardless of what their role or purpose was". 1:19:00 Yup, the best way to have fun with any Bethesda game is to avoid the story.

Yup, sounds pretty accurate. Here's one...

It sounds like FO76 developers randomly pick up things from older titles as if they were all one game and took place at the same time, ignoring their history and connections to other things. Almost as if they've never played any Fallout game before and they've been given a catalogue of "things in Fallout" and they try to make a game out of it. Which was actually pretty much the case for FO4 as well. I believe I've already posted this video but this guy is pretty much dead on about Bethesda's approach to Fallout. They took every superficial element of the originals but left out the soul and atmosphere. FNV tried to mod them back in to an extend, they even used the music of the originals and it was relatively successful, but you could still see Bethesda under the hood. Anyway, if you've never played the originals and never will, you can at least listen to the soundtrack and can easily see how different the mood in those games were. No matter what Bethesda fanboys claim their Fallout games aren't Fallout.

Not that I'm particularly interested in it as a console only game, but I like the graphics, environments and some of the gameplay features. Been watching several different LP's of it. It seems a very story oriented game and all LPs pretty much played the same, even the brawl at the bar was pretty much identical in all three LP's. Needless to say, I got bored pretty quickly. Some people are already mad about this game for some reason, to me it's clearly a "meh", but I thought people who enjoyed playing The Witcher series might like to give it a try, assuming they have a console of course. I think Bethesda will probably go bankrupt soon unless they change that shitty old engine of theirs, because the competition already seems years ahead of them.

It was obvious right from the start. Don't know how anyone could expect anything less from Bugthesda? It's an incompetent developer who try to do less and less work with each new game. I remember certain people arguing with me on LL, claiming that there was no "dumbing down" in Elder Scroll series. I just watched an interview with one of the creators of the ES who worked on Arena, Daggerfall and Morrorwind, and even he confesses that the series got dumbed down in time... They are so bloody incompetent they couldn't even find an original name for their game editor and had to steal the name GECK: Garden of Eden Creation Kit (which is now just Creation Kit) from Fallout 2... BTW, if you hate the idea of "games as a service", keep in mind that it's exactly what Microsoft wants to do with Windows, starting with 10.

Keep seeing Millenial girls, such as this one, who complain about having to shave their body hair and blaming men for it, as if men are forcing them to do it... This must be a new trend among them. Well, ladies, the species you belong to is a product of ancestors who preferred partners with thinner body hair and that's why you don't look like a chimp today... well, at least in terms of the amount of body hair anyway... But I agree with you, you really should stop shaving/waxing your body hair, your mustache, your unibrow, and you should also stop doing make up, dying your hair and all the other things you do to deceive men. Because you are slowing down the evolution by sexual selection, you may even be reversing it without knowing... I honestly wouldn't want the human race to turn into hairy chimps again. I bet chimps would have a good laugh if we did...

@Kendo 2 The reason why I came here was to avoid this sort confrontations altogether, especially for something as pointless as this. There's obviously a misunderstanding going on, maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I really don't want to deal with a person who replies with a wall of insults. I really don't need this. Will probably delete my account and move on if I can figure out how.

It was after you tried to correct me for no reason, you stupid little fuck. Do you see anything about your "EA lying" bullshit in the three posts that precede yours? No. Because I was arguing about greedy practices, legality of gambling and capitalism. Did anyone ask your idea about what "the real problem" was? No. When you brought that up, I asked about what they were lying about and you posted an article and I said that they could do it as long as it was legal, you of course didn't get it and kept babbling about it while mixing it up with legal actions about gambling, which at that point were totally unrelated. Yeah, really, WHAT THE FUCK? I've tried to kept it as civil as possible, but I'm tired of your bullshit, your patronizing tone, stupid accusations and constant insults, so I've given up. I don't know what you think you'll gain with all this bullshit you've posted on a forum with less than a handful of people posting, but I don't need it. Find yourself another Millenial of your age and argue with him instead.

English is my third language and I was hoping that you were done arguing with me... This is the EA thread and there are multiple different issues that have been discussed through the pages about their bad practices, but on the very page in which you claimed that the loot-boxes and gambling "wasn't the real issue", there are two videos about that issue discussing it and you only focus on one of the issues and keep saying that they lied and hid things about how the micro-transactions and unlocking things worked in a particular game. The question is simple... Can you or anyone else take a legal action against them for that? No? Then the case is closed. Yes, I'm fully aware that the US and many European countries have mixed economies. All I've said is that you can't defend capitalism while criticizing greedy, exploitative business practices. Was it really all that difficult to understand? Why? Because they're too stupid to ask for a refund? "I don't understand what you're talking about therefore you are a troll"... Right... You're the one who tried to correct something which you didn't even understand, and now accusing me of changing the topic of the discussion while it was you who did it in the first place by changing the topic into "lying, hiding", while my post was about "legal rules and government economies" and then jumped into a pointless discussion with me.

The first part of the article was about loot-boxes and gambling, which you tried to dismiss, the rest is basically complaining about a product, which has nothing to do with what I'm arguing about. Complaining about a video game, because it's either too expensive to obtain in-game items or it takes extremely long to unlock things is very childish, you can simply say that it's a shit game and never buy it. The practice may be despicable but there's absolutely nothing illegal about it. In the end, they've changed the game and fixed those issues, not because it was illegal, but because they wanted to sell the product. It's the country's laws what dictate a person or a company can or cannot do, if it's legal, then they can do it. I'm the one who's "trolling" for just stating an obvious fact? The relation between capitalism, so called free market and shady, anti-consumer business practices is, which you apparently fail to realize, when you want "government hand" to regulate the "free market" to protect consumers, you basically admit the fact that the "free market" doesn't really work as well as you thought and it needs a pinch of socialism to make things right, which is what those European countries have been doing. Fine with me, because you don't even bother to read the article you post, you don't even try to understand what I'm arguing about, don't know why but happens with you all the time.

You said gambling wasn't the real issue in your previous message, yet the article you've linked clearly states otherwise in its very first paragraph... Some European countries have demanded removal of certain features from certain games as they consider loot-boxes as gambling and this is the only "legal" issue here. As the paragraph above also states that loot-boxes and micro-transactions are not considered as gambling by ESRB in the US, they are under no obligation to explicitly state anything else other than the game's ESRB rating. No matter what you think of the issue, they clearly have no reason to lie about the nature of their games or hide anything about them. These may be infuriatingly greedy business practices, but there's absolutely nothing illegal about them, not yet anyway, at least not in the US and in many other countries. And honestly, people may complain about a game being extremely grindy, but all they have to do is not to buy the game if they don't like it.

Well, they create jobs... in China... and in the future they will create jobs... for robots...
