Water Chip? Been There, Done That
When I was younger, I was a very passionate gamer. I liked all kinds of games, from 4X to shooters (i.e. Civilization started with Amiga500, the RPG’s started C64 Wasteland, and so on).
I didn’t really care about franchises at first, since I was a kid, but Wasteland already had me with randomness and how fun (and realistic. It felt you were always on finding something new (something that Bethesda tries and fails constantly).
An what got me to Fallout, was the idea that, even if limited by the presentation, I had the opportunity to play as I felt with given natural boundaries. It felt natural, it was designed to be natural. It seemed that I had more possibilities than I actually did, and it was ”by design”. And I loved it. Loved it!
I was exctatic about the possibility of Van Buren. Totally exctatic. Until it all ended…
But then, someona had bought yhe property. ”There’s still a chance”, I thought. And I kept to it the most if the design… for my own and the game, because I wanted to believe it was going to be the one and only ”resurrection” of the franchise.
In 2008 all that was gone, none of it remained. Everythin came down. I even left the community, because I couldn’t take the change (I still had the urge to get nice games), but I stopped following.
When I heard Obsidian was making a New Fallout, I was upp, I thought they were gonna make ”the fallout sequel”, but I still remember the disappointment I had when Obsidian announced that New Vegas was going to be a first person shooter like 3.
I was actually shaking at the time. No joke.
When I heard what they were doing, what they had to do, I actually collapsed.
I did not think I’d ever be as disappointed as with Falliutv3, but I was.
Fallout new vegas was an rps storynod for fallour 3.
It had its good moments, but those moments were always fake in the way it used to be.
When Fallout 4 was announced, I knew it was finally over. What had been a fountain of storytelling potential, had turned into fuck all were the best, since of what ever people wanted.
And now it is a netfix charade.
Why do things have to go like this?
