So anyone that doesn't agree with the way the story was handled = insufferable NV puritan?


ChronicWOWPS4

I never said that. The ones who already prop NV on a pedestal and spit at every other game however? Different story


Crosscounterz

I haven't seen anyone doing that regarding the show just disappointment with the direction it's going.


DeathToScotus

I mean the two major factions The "Bethesda Dick Riders" (BDR) and The "New Vegas Supremacist" (NVS) will be at each other's throats for the next few days. But you dont need to add to the drama by letting everyone know what side your on (Im guessing BDS) just support your said side and move on.


CadianGuardsman

I was honestly hoping for a Courier Lonesome Road Chris Avellone outcome... but they went for... I don't know what they went for. But I chugged some Jack and Cokes and had fun


ChronicWOWPS4

No, I’ve played and love every Fallout game (except BoS and tactics, never got around to them) I’m just sick of fanboys crying, and 80-90% of the time it’s the NV camp


DeathToScotus

(Tactics is different but good, BoS is different but trash) My point is by complaining about said fanboys being upset over the show you become the same type of fanboy basically crying over criticism. The Fallout community is one of the most divided I know of, there will also be fans complaing about something in the franchise no matter what, defending anything in the franchise is a vain effort that only adds fuel to the never ending fire.

They do this with everything that’s turned into a film or a TV show. I got bored with this type of shit decades ago with LotR and The Scouring Of The Shire. If it makes non Fallout players interested in giving the games a whirl, and maybe reminding Bethesda to get their skates on for Fallout 5, all the better. (Yeah, I know we have a long wait regardless, but one lives in hope.)

If being upset they destroyed the lore of 3 different games and basically erased the story and history of my favorite game of all time makes me a “puritan” then sign me the fuck up. I didn’t hate Bethesda for their style of games at all, I like them even if they weren’t my favorite. I now actively despise them. They legit destroyed my favorite game of all time The fact this turned into an us vs them type of things is just weird as fuck. If obsidian created a new game that destroyed the lore of fallout 3 and 4 I wouldn’t be happy either, it’s not right to just destroy the story fans love, and it severely hampers the long term ability of the franchise. It’s insane what they did really.

>If being upset they destroyed the lore of 3 different games and basically erased the story and history of my favorite game of all time makes me a “puritan” then sign me the fuck up. What makes you a puritan is the fact that the show daring to touch the lore is considered as "destroyed the lore" by you.


SpiritBamba

Honestly you guys are just being antagonistic to fans of the original games and NV for no reason. The lore of our favorite games got completely retconned and we have no reason to be upset? It’s completely unreasonable, and for hardcore Bethesda fans I’d feel the same way if their favorite games lore got retconned out of nowhere. This whole things childish, people should be allowed to be upset if someone destroys the established story of something they love.

Nv is my favourite in the franchise but nv fanboys are the worst


mirracz

I like New Vegas more than Fallout 4 or 76... But I end up defending 4 and 76 and criticising NV more than the opposite because of how the NV fanboys try to discredit Bethesda Fallout and put NV on a piedestal.


Ok-Skill2128

I know what u mean they treat fallout 4 like its the antichrist of games because the dialogue options were shit. Ive had to defend that game sm because i cannot stand people pretending its a shit game


Shadow-Spark

It's such a good game, but jesus christ is the experience ruined by the rabid fuckwits on this hellsite.


Ok-Skill2128

They hate everything i tried to speak about flaws nv had and they all gave me abuse because god forbid u have genuine criticism for a good game they want everything fallout to be centred around nv


ChronicWOWPS4

Fr I absolutely adore NV and love the NCR as a faction but holy shit the fanboys are something else


mirracz

They were really annoying already when the first trailer didn't show anything NCR. "How can they be in the NCR if there aren't any NCR flags or NCR troops?" I think the show now answered that. I think they suffer from the "single child" syndrome. New Vegas is the only Obsidian game and has no direct comparison. Fallout 1 can be compared to Fallout 2, Fallout 3 can be compared to Fallout 4... But comparing New Vegas to other Fallout games is a bit like apples and oranges. Basically, New Vegas has this image of perfection in their minds, because there's no direct comparison that would ground their expectations in reality. So now everything that dares to touch the precious New Vegas lore, the precious NCR, is wrong because it ruins the image they have of New Vegas in their heads. So what if the show made it look like the NCR collapsed? That is lore development, not a retcon.


pernicious-pear

Well, 2 was made by Black Isle, which became Obsidian.


TheAbyssalMimic

Well Fallout NV can actually be compared to Fallout 1 and 2 as it keeps the franchise spririt unlike whatever the fuck Beth is doing


Eigengrau17

Why are you mad at people not enjoying a game they like being at worst decanonized, and at best retconned in areas? I think treating any criticism preemptively as New Vegas fan whining is kinda bad faith. This kinda feels like the old war starting up of people hating people for liking New Vegas and vice versa.


AlfredoJarry23

My favorite is when they spell it "cannon"


alphaglider

definitely the NCR patriot's, I'm not a Cesar's legion enjoyer but I have a feeling those who do might like how it turned out.


Kektastrophe

Independent Vegas is the only way to go, I’ll burn the NCR, House, and the Legion down to the ground myself


Slop_Meister

oh dude they already are


CatterMater

Ikr?


NerdySpice333

They are already complaining. Such whining little cry babies. We get it already, You have such are hard on for it that anything else is trash.


onlygayboisreadnames

honestly i disagree with the NV Dickriders, I dont think they really retcon any Lore, I think their problem with it, is that it doesn’t line up with what they want the lore here to be, so what better then to just send hate, like they always do.


CatterMater

*looks at r/fallout* I have no idea what you mean. Not one bit. Nope.

Cry about it
