You know what the most damning part is? I kind of want to do the same, because I am blindly optimistic about video games and try to find positives in them whenever I can. I loved the character of Kellogg, by the way. I wish he was the main antagonist, that dude was badass. His whole backstory was awesome.

I think 4 is a terrible Fallout game (and a mediocre RPG at best), but I really love playing it as a survival game. That'll probably change when I can finally afford The Long Dark, but modding my game to no end by adding different survival features and removing the issues with survival (no saving) really improves the experience. The game never lets me save if I add mods that add crafting recipes tho, so those mods are out of the question.

I've heard positive things about The Long Dark, watched a friend of mine stream it a while back and he really enjoyed it - though he's also Canadian, so the game more or less was developed for him. If you like survival experiences, have you considered checking out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series? Think of them as the Russian Fallout. Metro 2033 is also a good option too.

haha yeah I'll have to check them out I totally haven't bought them already and played them religiously until they crashed haha

I bet if someone made a turn-based isometric RPG where your companions are a harem and you're on the hunt for anime tiddies, Dynamo would snap it up instantly.

On a more serious note, similar gameplay style does not mean that a game is the exact same as Fallout. There's lots of different factors to take into account, but I suppose that's not what we want when we're looking for popular games to shit on to make ourselves look like hipsters.

<Snipped quote by Mara>

If I had to pay AAA game price to sit through 40 mins of intro text for an anime tiddies harem id be wasting my time and money because I already have Huniepop installed.

But on a serious note, tides of numeria and pillars of eternity 1 are not even that popular. The hipsters are the small but very vocal community of 'true roleplayers' who smoke pipes before the age of 30, sit in a room with 200 books they will never read and scoff at the idea of an RPG having a cutscene longer than 90 seconds.

But I wasnt even shitting on them, I was saying they are overrated, like read the thread title, sir.

Here you go, I think you'll find this gif useful here.

<Snipped quote by Prawn>

That was already used by Fabricant ealier in this thread. She clearly isnt paying you a good enough sidekick wage if youre going to recycle her gifs.

This thread is better when it is discussing things rather than whe-whe-ing about nonsensical terminologies that are as dated as they are stupid.

@Prawn i cant see the image link, I think its broken, Prawn-Wonder.

@Prawn did you know deus ex predicted a lot shady government stuff that came true?
