Well lore wise the show doesn't hold up to exact details. Such as the Brotherhood having such a large presence. As of Fallout 2 and New Vegas, the brotherhood was dwindling. Also they were not a force for good, they were techno-fascists that would patrol, not to keep the peace, but to confiscate technology and hoard it for themselves. Unless the NCR has collapsed, and the Brotherhood filled the power vacuum, the forces shown are way over the top.

Keep in mind that the story is based on Bethesda lore, so what happened in Fallout 2/NV aren't going to be as heavily weighted. This is the company that threw Super Mutants into Fallout 76, just because. I suspect this show will take many liberties with the established "lore" for the sake of the story. Which, to my mind, will be perfectly acceptable, as long as the story is actually good.

Bethesda replying was a PR disaster.

Yeah, honestly, I have no idea what genius thought "landing on an empty moon in a game can be exciting because the actual real life moon landing was exciting" was a good response to criticism. Like, the degree of tone-deafness there is off the charts.

Enh, dunno about that. While they've nailed the Fallout aesthetic, looks like they're pushing the usual left political agenda. Can we not get entertainment anymore that doesn't have an agenda? Sigh. Walton Goggins and Kyle MacLachlan are a definite plus though.

Ah, yes, how dare they push the "left political agenda" of checks notes "nuclear war is bad".

In an "it's even dumber than it sounds", apparently this just gives you access to the free trial edition of the game (which is always available on battle.net). So you can only play until level 20. Which you'll reach even faster thanks the the xp boost going on.

Why is it a "limited time only" on Steam? Only the idiots at Blizzard know.

Or, you know, a consolized game is selling well on consoles.

No, wait, you guys are right, I'm sure it's all from sales from EGS.

Actually, i recall one of my biggest complaints for The Forest was there wasn't enough survival or need for base building. Maybe this is different in SOTF?

Not really. The "survival" aspects of the game are really basic, at best. You can build bases and hunt for food, etc, but there's certainly no requirement to. The pre-existing loot seems to respawn, so you end up buried in MREs, Energy Bars/Drinks, and most of the crafting materials. And there are random camps with tents all over the island which you can use to save and sleep. It's a little disappointing it's so generous on that front, because I prefer games with harder survival elements.

It's certainly got some bugs, but nothing too obstructive in the 15 hours I've played so far. The worst was probably getting stuck in the animation of holding up my backpack (this game’s immersive weapon wheel), which I think happened because I took a staggering hit from an enemy at that same moment. I was able to select an item while it looped back and forth in the corner of the screen, momentarily flashing white outlines of the items beneath the cursor, to get out of it. My favorite bug so far, though, is the force of a chopped tree falling in the water combines with the buoyancy of the logs to send them bouncing 100 feet in the air. XD

The logs one is great. Especially when Kelvin is doing it in the distance, and you suddenly see a bunch of logs jumping into the air. But yeah, I've also had the animation stick issue a few times. Most of the time I've been able to get out of it, but one time I was harvesting a rabbit and got stuck, couldn't get out. No keypress worked (other than esc, which doesn't help), and the other people in my game couldn't interact with me. We had to bail and reload from save.

Also had the bug where Kelvin goes down, but doesn't give you the option to revive him. Reloading the save just put him into a dead state. Luckily I found a reddit thread on how to revive him, so he's back. He's a bit buggy, but it's nice to have him cut trees and shit, so hopefully he doesn't bug out again.

Otherwise having a lot of fun with the game. Still haven't really got much into the story, but the seasons change is a a nice touch. Winter is coming (and makes things considerably more challenging).

Considering they have two Hollywood actors doing voice work (and mocap I assume) for the game now, it's no surprise the budget is so big. Hope the DLC is worth it.

This is hard to accept, I know, but you can't scream "MISINFORMATION" every time somebody opposes what you have to say. And especially so, if truth reveals at a later time that you are the one who was wrong. You just start to look silly and embarrass yourself.

Someone from the party of "Fake News!" saying this is just peak irony.

You know, I had the impression Musk never actually wanted to buy Twitter. He was trolling them. Thinking about it raises two options 1) It was a troll and his ego wouldn't let him admit it was a troll -- leading to him signing legally binding agreements. 2) It wasn't a troll and he simply thought "Tesla is soaring, $44b is a pittance, it will be fun." I wonder which it is....

Given how much effort he put into backing out of the deal, I think it was pretty clearly #1 to start with. Now that he's been forced to actually buy it, he's pivoted pretty hard into #2.

Wow okay boycotting Fanatical.

Ignoring your absolutely batshit defense of a guy that went across state lines hoping to kill people, you're angry at a company choosing not to do business with another company, and your solution is not doing business with them.

Why in the world is it cancel culture in the first case and not the second

The hypocrisy astounds me

You don't understand, the right's problem with "cancel culture" isn't the boycotting, because they like to do that too. No, the problem they have with it is that the left actually do it effectively. The right would love to be able to cancel the stuff they don't like nearly as well, they just can't do it.

It's really weird that having a female lead character, and choosing not to make fun of people in a game that are already the target of jokes (and worse) in real life is somehow such a controversial decision. And then Rockstar gets accused of being "woke", which Quinn points out requires that they are "shoving it in everyone's faces", by, uh, not talking about it at all? Casually mentioning it in an interview? It's like people think that SMITE's asinine parody take on it is actually how it will play out.

I guess people just need something to be mad about.

Hell even Cyberpunk 2077 has a gay romance with River and it was cut out (and I mean you can go ALL the way up to a kiss then he goes all straight).

Originally the scripts had all the characters as effectively bisexual until they finalized what orientation they wanted to go with. It wasn't "cut out" because of any reluctance to have a male homosexual character. Otherwise they wouldn't have had Kerry Eurodyne, who is definitely a male and definitely homosexual.

I mean I guess he's not wrong, just making something and then tossing it over to marketing to figure out how to sell it and make money on it is probably not a hugely smart business move.

Yeah, it's easy to make this quote sound bad, but the reality is if you are making games as a way to make money, then you need to figure out how you are going to make money from the game from the start, not after the game is finished. If you're an indie who just wants to make the game, and profit is secondary, sure, don't care about it. But most businesses don't have that luxury.

Surprising to see that some people think the voters in each state should not have the right to determine abortion laws in their states. That's nothing but democracy, with people's votes counting.

You don't get to use "democracy" to support oppression. With "democracy", a lot of southern states were perfectly ok with slavery, so I guess you would have been perfectly fine allowing that to continue, because, hey, it "doesn't get any more democratic than that".

He's not doing it to "show them". Thanks to his little stunt, his name is hitting all over the place, including here at Blue's. He's advertising. Considering he's one of the more popular streamers on Twitch, I'd assume it's working for him. With the subs and donations he gets in a month, blowing $15k to get this sort of publicity is peanuts.

Despite EA getting more criticism (in general), I still consider Activision to be the biggest pile of shit publisher. As soon as Blizzard entered their sphere of influence, they started their downward trend - which has only accelerated over time. At this point, even if they were to separate (which I doubt would ever happen), I don't think they've got a soul left to build from.

No one is forcing them to do anything. Instead, they get a choice. They can get the vaccine and continue to work for their employer, or choose not to, and go elsewhere.
