I always found it ridiculous that Fallout takes place like 200 years after the big war and it's still such a wasteland. It would look like that for maybe a single-digit amount of years after humans start living on the surface again. Humans build things very quickly.
Blame FO3. The first Fallout took place less than a century after the nukes dropped, and by the time of the second Fallout, the setting wasn't really a wasteland anymore.
I always took the Bethesda fallout to be “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism” to its logical conclusion in my head canon. It’s why no one builds anything because the value of labor as a social good had been nearly wiped out from society. Why would anyone build anything more than the bare minimum?
It’s bait targeted at them. Notice how FO3 is portrayed as having more to it than 2.
Fallout 1 being lesser than 2 is a common opinion on most sites, but it’s clearly bait to place 3 above 2 by showing the larger sandwich.
New Vegas is taking a shot as well, it uses a chicken sandwich to show it’s a different studio but still shows itself as having less than the one I assume is a Big Mac or whopper. Nobody places 3 above NV.
The fish sandwich doesn’t make sense for 4. They should have used a sandwich everyone hates or the target audience hates. Nobody likes 4 more than any except 3.
FO3 being the biggest sandwich is a dead giveaway. I think the meme is supposed to be someone who grew up with and is nostalgic about FO3, basically someone your average 4channer would absolutely hate and view with contempt.
You'd be surprised. There's a pretty large and growing backlash to the idea that NV is better than 3. Most of the backlash is just "3 isnt as bad as people say" rather than it being better than NV, but the strongest and loudest backlashers think 3 is outright better.
I cant believe I'm encountering this opinion on a leftist website with lots of trans people on it!!!! (ur mostly right but I think FO4 is Fun To Play just not really meaty in any way).
I can never get a straight answer about FO4 everyone either says it’s fun or says it’s the worst thing to ever exist it’s like FO3 discourse all over again.
I don't know what this image is trying to say, but I don't care for the Bethesda RPG game loop and love isometric CRPGs so it's all garbo after 2, even though I've suffered through them all. Even NV suffers from the absolute jank that is Gamebryo.
