@EdenzAlttz @Rev4202 @AgreeingBook13 The people that worked on the golden age of CoD were nerds, and borderline nerd "dude bros" - people born from the 70s to 80s who were part of the lower and middle class

The ones that work on CoD today are Millennial trustfunds and tumblr drama kids led by nepo babies and corpos

@PedanticKilljoy @Rev4202 @AgreeingBook13 I think it's more proof that the concept of generations is a bullshit generalization. The problem isn't "generational" but political.

@Sylax061 @MrUnsmileyyy Ultrakill and it's consequences have been a disaster for the Indie First Person Shooter sphere.

@sciencegirl Hostile Architecture; it's anti-homeless spikes for blue collar laborers, delivery drivers and Land-Tank driving Monster Energy Drink chuggers. 🤣

@operagxofficial Not a good argument; games almost never use 9mm, 10mm or .40S&W (among other examples) Pistols and Revolvers alongside each other in the same game typically opting for models in different ammunition such as Half-Life with the 9x19mm Glock or .357 Colt Python.

@BeGreaterBullet @operagxofficial Yup, more powder in the casing means higher velocities, increased power, penetration, etc.

@ShitpostRock Games especially Multiplayer games are balanced around DPS not damage numbnutz.

The biggest issue with modern Fallout is that Bethesda, and the fanbase they cultivated with their games, are afraid to move beyond its initial premise.

Shady Sands being reduced to ruins in the show and how they’re handling New Vegas illustrate this, because both of those were beacons that humanity was on the first steps to recovery. There is a lot of violence and shady stuff involved, yes, but slowly and surely humanity was recovering from its sins, and that holds a hopeful message at its core. It’s inspiring and aspirational in many ways.

Modern Fallout does not focus on that. It chooses to wallow in its absurdity and apocalyptic setting while giving continued commentary on the “evils of man”, especially with its “critique” on capitalism through how they were the people that nuked the planet through a stupid plan rather than having it be the consequences of mankind’s predisposition for violence.

That, combined with often illogical, inconsistent, and, frankly, milquetoast writing, creates this shallow, surface level experience that doesn’t make you think, but instead distracts you from thinking. It feels empty after a while, and at its core it feels nihilistic in many ways.

You will tell me that Fallout has always been absurd and it has always had humor, and yes, both of those elements have been present since the beginning, but Bethesda ramped it up and leaned into it while forgetting to actually write something special on the serious side.

Which is why Fallout is in the state it is now, a denigrated shadow of its former self that has abandoned the hope of mankind’s perseverance in return for a fixation on the setting’s absurdity and taking safe shots at some shallow method of societal critique.

People may like it, but compared to what it could be? It’s an abject disappointment for me.

@RinoTheBouncer Saints Row 2 would like to jump you at your location.

@DUSKdev Everyone wants to be System Shock 2 but not the original System Shock (not the OS UI or the remake); Metroidvania-esque (Search Action) RPG inspired, without RPG mechanics, Sci-Fi where you don't play as a Soldier-archetype, and not straight action.

G is the Hydrogen Bomb, versus the low-yield Nuclear that is D. The rest are an Orphanage Load of Coughing Babies that are only held up by Mediterranean Food.

@DuvalMagic I pray one day, the women you've taken advantage of, and abused - gain the strength, and come forward to lock you away for eternity; freeing the consumer, and Gearbox employees from your insolent brand of greasy tyranny.

Probably too busy golfing to give a fuck about some political grifting minion.
