I sold my copy of New Vegas over a decade ago without even playing it because I always thought it was an inferior product to Fallout 3. Come to find out it's actually one of the greatest Fallout games of all time and watching the TV series peaked my interest enough to go out of my way to find an old ps3 copy and playing the hell out of it lately 🎮

I'd say one of the greatest games of all time in general. I had a similar but not exact experience with GTA Vice City as a kid. All I wanted was GTA 3 and Vice City sat on my little shelf for like over a year because I thought it would be bad for no reason. Then I finally played and was mad at myself for ignoring it so long.

Crazy to see what the landscape of the internet is like these days.

Dude I feel so bad for you, I was the same age as you when FNV came out, when it was announced I couldn’t play Fallout 3 anymore. I watched the videos every day just waiting for it to release.

So it was rough a lot of the time not even being able to get myself one videogame or something like that because money was tight.

I understand your frustration about the world never progressing. I can’t say for certain as I don’t work at Bethesda, but my guess is their ideal Fallout scenario is almost immediately “post-war”. Not really post post apocalyptic like New Vegas. Maybe that’s why they destroyed Shady Sands? Certainly worth discussing.

@@ratedjentertainment oh man, I have a lot of complicated feelings about the dragon age sequels.. Dragon age 2 I think was massively held back by it's tight 2 year development cycle, along with the misguided decision (in my opinion) to spend a lot of that time reworking the combat system. I absolutely despise the "dialog wheel" that bioware started doing, and dragon age 2 implemented it the worst of of any of their games, most likely due to time constraints. The companions all kind of feel like background noise since you don't really have a hub area where you can really get to know them, and they feel pretty shallow overall, as well as not being able to equip them with armor. My only complaint with the story is that it felt pretty rushed and railroaded compared to origins As for inquisition, again my biggest complaint personally is the combat system. Feels like they tried to have their cake and eat it too being a half-assed action rpg that felt more clunky than any of the previous games. I think the main thing holding inquisition back, though, is that like 60% of the game is completely pointless filler content. The wait times at the war table and the power requirements for missions only serve to make the game longer than it needs to be, but I think inquisition is the second best in terms of writing and player choice

@@brodieorr5393 This is an odd one for me, I agree with you fully and disagree all at the same time. I agree about DA2 being held back by that Dev Cycle. Knocking it out of the park like they did with Origins, then forcing a sequel like that was genuinely unfair to the BioWare, and the DA Team especially. Despite some of the glaring flaws of DA2, I always have enjoyed. It was in my opinion, a step back in a lot of ways, and a step forward. Not being able to armor your companions was a very bizarre thing to me, but in some ways, it freed my brain up a bit to just kinda relax and enjoy the story as it unfolded. There were story moments I felt were very compelling and impactful for the setting. So a little less RPG management helped me find the more poignant moments and it sharpened them for me. Inquisition actually made me appreciate DA2 a lot more because DA2 almost felt like a prologue. Obviously that is how it was intended, but it felt even more so now. Where Hawke and Corypheus would've been lore characters or NPCs, now they have a little more weight and impact to them. Inquisition had an interesting story and compelling narrative, that I think was wrapped up well with Trespasser, but man, did they really fumble the ball with the execution of it. So much of that game just felt like fetch questing, and that was a bummer.
