Its honestly embarrassing lmao how do they fuck up that bad

Yeah, I use this real google map as reference, it doesn't even fit well with the official game map.

I’d say atheistic wise, Fallout 3 did a great job of understanding Interplay’s unique retro-future. The lead artist for Bethesda Adam Adamowicz really made D.C. look and feel like it belonged to the Fallout universe. Sadly since he passed away the lead artist was changed to someone else, I don’t remember the name. And as a result, we have the FO4/FO76 huge aesthetic shift that killed the feel of Fallout.

Yet the video doesn't really show anything to even try to communicate that. Simply shows a montage and then spends time on a building and then shoots enemies. Kinda just wanting to get points for beating the dead horse and trying to combine it with another talking point but not articulating either into the video.

Yup the video doesn’t really give a proper comparison after the montage so its confusing. He should’ve showed at least the general world of FO4 and FO76 if he wanted to properly compare bit he just cuts back to gameplay

I only excited when Fallout related contents are all about high technologies and super science stuff tbh. Well unless that content deal with geopolitical region. Like Honest Heart and even The Pitt (if you played TTW, you might get what I mean). Otherwise a DLC like Point Lookout just literally missing the whole point that i still looking for to this day.

Like T-60 Power Armor, which makes no fucking sense at all since even Bethesda in the SAME GAME says T-50 was the most advanced model Pre-War. T-60 could’ve easily been the BOS upgrading the T-45 after Fallout 3 Enclave tech, but nope. Same with APA also not being Post-War anymore and just sitting there in Nuka World.

With all those said, I am gonna applaud you damn hard if you can salvage F76 lore. Like you propose before, some stuff are worth it givent hat Emilio gone and newly added stuff are actually mildly interesting.

Interested to read your three write ups!

I am totally out of the loop on series and shows.

I haven't followed any shows for a decade or more now. xD

Shows take a while to be made.

Amazon does a lot of decent low budget movies too. I realize people hate them due to LotR and other shit like that but I'm not a religious fanatic so it does not bother me.

For sure it exists.

It is one of those things, shows.

it was made.

To be fair, I dunno if there’s saguaros around the Hoover Dam or the surrounding area on the map, I’ve never been there. I’m just talking out my ass.

Apparently, some FNV devs travelled the real Mojave and took pics and all of that. To serve as inspiration for FNV.
I guess they would have noticed what type of flora existed there.

And that extra effort really shows. I’ve seen countless games and movies and shows set in California that just slap any desert cacti and shrubbery including saguaros. Like I said even Cyberpunk did this, saguaros in California. I’m very agitated when I see this common mistake.

I think the Saguaro can only be found with the FLora Overhaul Mod.

Precisely why I installed that mod and immediately uninstalled it

Saguaros in New Vegas can only be forgivable if they’re on the Arizona side of the map

Good game. The backer stuff is shit tho.

I disabled all that with the IE Mod

Oh you mean the new one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arrival_(1996_film)

There is a new one? fuck that.

It's not the same series.

I'm watching Redneck Zombies right now and I'm having a blast.

Which goes to show how subjective taste is I guess haha.

You should watch it, it's funnii

Everyone calls it the real Star Trek but it is too goofy to honestly meet that standard but it is a good replacement considering what we have to work with.

I'd consider it a very good spiritual successor to Star Trek. If the new Star Trek shows are anything to go by, we won't be seeing a proper official Star Trek again. I'd gladly accept a prosperous future for The Orville, the show has been very fun so far. The first few episodes kinda have some Family Guy-ish humor, but the show quickly adapts into just a good show overall.

I almost feel like Seth MacFarlane tricked the FOX executives by pitching "Family Guy meets Star Trek in live-action" and then just started making his dream show. It really does feel like it's made from passion and not just to bolster TV ratings like most other modern Seth shows. Not a fan of Seth's work, but I'd say this is the exception.

They can try but the truth is the lore in the series has always been convoluted and fucked up. I genuinely think they are trying but they have no clue.

I am not even sure if they are trying Toront. The new series are not really helping with the lore problems in the timeline.
Kurtzman and circus (heh) jumped onto Pike the moment he was well received. Pike series will conflict with original series.

I have not touched any Star Trek show under the Kurtzman banner. The only exposure I’ve had to those shows are through clips of RedLetterMedia losing their mind over it and thus my love for TNG isn’t faltered.

I didn’t know about Star Trek Resurgence, I suppose that counts as a modern Trek game coming out. Although, from the trailer I don’t really have an opinion other than “hm.”
From what I’ve seen on my search, the only good modern Star Trek “game” is a mod for Stellaris.

I am also not completely sold on Resurgence. Only reason I might want to give it a chance is because it has been a log time since we last saw a non online or mobile Trek game.

My stream shut off right when it was getting amazing.

Feels a little too derivative of TNG sometimes. It needs to be more its own thing.
Also, kind of lost respect to McFarlane because of current Hollywood debacle about humor.

I don’t mind the clear-cut homage to Star Trek with this show. It just feels nice to me to have Star Trek on TV again, even if sadly they had to make a carbon clone as the actual franchise is being Kurtzman’d.

True. I also miss what Star Trek used to be.
I don't mind a more serialized version for a change, perhaps with mini story arcs like on Enterprise, but not what it has become now and will not return from.
Will be interesting to see how long the Orville will continue.

Is just ok. Secret World is a better game.

I just started playing SWTOR like a week ago, digging it so far. My biggest complaint though is the classic BioWare moment where you select a badass dialogue option and your character says some stock recycled one liner that had nothing to do with the dialogue I picked. Can’t stand that, would honestly rather have my protag be silent than feel cucked like that.

Yeah I got to lvl 20 or so. Not bad but Secret World is how MMO's should be in the future as far as quest design.
