What in the fuck does that even mean?

ITT: A shit thread

The player was never a cowboy, the entire game is just asking you to lie about shit you never even did.

I don't think this wannabe meme has enough steam to carry threads.

>The player was never a cowboy
No shit, he's a courier in the middle of fucking nowhere, Nevada

Not OP and I love New Vegas but the "joining factions" selling point is dishonest. You can't actually join the NCR or the Legion, you can only help them. Doing their quest lines doesn't get a spot in the NCR army, or a Centurion position in the Legion. You're just a mercenary or profligate to them.
The only time I really felt like I was a part of something was with House's quest line, which is why I prefer him the most.

god what an awful game

this game has horrible graphics even for 2010

No not the main character, I mean THE PLAYER. The one playing the game. The game literally forces you to pretend that you're apart of cowboy culture when in reality YOU NEVER DID ANY OF THAT SHIT. It essentially strongarms you into doing cowboy blackface and disrespecting real living cowboys by misrepresenting their culture and emotionally manipulating the player into feeling bad about shit THAT THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT

>Bioshock 3
>Dark Souls 3 (Lots and lots of cut content)
>Watchdogs
>Rainbowsix Siege
>No Mans Sky

The fuck? I never thought I was a cowboy playing NV.

Cut them some slack, they were given just 1 year to make the game and it still blew Fallout 3 and 4 out the water.

>1 year
Bethestard revisionism. They had just 19 days and $12 dollars to their name

t. incels angry they didn't get to bang cass

red lucy was better anyway

Bioshock infinite

>they were given just 1 year to make the game
More like 1.5-2 years. Fallout 3 also took 1.5-2 years because the real development only started after Oblivion DLCs were all released. Not to mention NV is mostly just an asset flip.

>it still blew Fallout 3 and 4 out the water
Ok reddit.

Dumbshit, ofc you are a mercenary. If you were an actual member of their armies you would have no agency whatsoever and would be punished severely for simply not being where you're ordered to be 24/7. Being a mercenary is the perfect situation, youre free to roleplay as a soldier who hangs around the bases, but also can sensibly leave and do your own thing when you get bored.

stop talking shit. i understand you just watched a video essay on youtube about how "*insert game name* is dishonest" but you dont have to exitedly make a shitty thread on here about it... whats next? ludo-narrative disonence? lol you faggot

What the fuck

>choices bad
You're essentially being ordered around by that cunt major anyway. They could easily justify putting you through some ranger tests after gaining a high enough approval rate, then becoming a ranger and having some personal autonomy in the world.
I'd also love to join the Legion, get my own personal Legion armor and work for Caesar as a Frumentarii but I can't do that either. It sucks.
At least House outright says I'm his protege and working for him directly.

Unmodded pleb spotted

Why do people like New Vegas? It's too RPG-y. So much boring dialogue and things, just wanna shoot super mutants and ghouls. I don't play video games to talk to people, I play video games to shoot things and have fun. Fallout 4 did this well, they tell you mission objectives straight away without explaining for a billion hours and you get to the shooting which is the core soul of Fallout. If I wanted to read about meaningful characters, I would read a book. Fallout has and always has been about shooting things because it's a video game.

They gave them a pat in the back and a pizza

>"dishonest" meme
Kill yourself

Although in the endings it is implied that once the Dam is won, the Courier just gets an award and they go their separate ways. It would feel more rewarding to be made a general in their army, and agency wouldn't matter at that point because the game is over.

terrible bait

This but unironically. NV's """""dialogue"""""", is 5% normal conversation and 95% exposition dump.

>Emotionally dishonest
Fuck, it's infecting boards other than Yas Forums

Fallout protagonists never stick around, its like a joke

Rangers dont get autonomy though, youre dispatched to certain areas to perform duties same as any soldier, just at an elite level. Guard duty at the stations, recon, whatever.

Yeah Cassandra gives you "orders" but is fully aware that you arent obliged to follow them. Hell you can even talk back to the commander and tell her to change her mind on many matters.

>It still blew 2 shit games out of the water
Damn, what a accomplishment. The shit I took 5 minutes ago could blow fallout 3 out of the water.

okay boomer.

Yas Forums - artificial difficulty
Yas Forums - dishonest filmmaking
Yas Forums - emotionally dishonest
/ck/ - fake flavor

What else am I missing?

Not only gay but also objectively wrong.

New Vegas makes you feel more like a Cowboy then anything from Red Dead. You start the game getting left for dead and then have to track down your would-be killer through a lawless, hostile land. The only folks you can trust are honest hard working villagers who need you to help them against the lawless bandits and hostile threats of the desert where their ineffective, distant government can't help them. Can't imagine anything more cowboy spaghetti western then that.

Based retard

"Soulless" is a pretty similar one, but that's just Yas Forums again

>there will never be an rpg as good as NV
I've replayed it 50 times already
What am I suppose to do

I agree, Rainbow six siege E3 trailer gameplay was the ultimate betrayal. It's still a pretty good game tho

Fallout New Vegas is a shit game, take off the nostalgia goggles you dumb contrarian niggers.

>What am I suppose to do
stop having terrible taste and play something better?

If you are young enough to have nostalgia for new vegas you need to leave.

Imagine calling people who like New Vegas contrarians, on a board where up until a year or two ago everyone loved New Vegas.
Newsflash retard, YOU'RE the contrarian.

Liking New Vegas isn't contrarian in the slightest anymore. It's highly regarded everywhere you look.

Stop LARPing, age has nothing to do with it. You can have nostalgia for a game that came out 5 years ago because it's still "old" in your mind. The game is shit, dialogue is uninteresting, characters forgettable, plot silly, mechanics terrible, graphics shit. There is no saving it and there's a reason why everyone considered it as the worst fallout game on it's release.

cringe

That is fucking dumb. You are fucking dumb.

Even if all of those things you listed were true (they're not) New Vegas still wouldn't be the worst Fallout by virtue of Fallout 3 having all of that worse

Based

Seethe harder brainlet. Go read a book or play an actual RPG before spouting bullshit like NV being anything but a 5/10 game.

>Anthem
>Destiny 2
>Battlefield 1
>Ark
>Fallout 4
>Fallout 76

The quality of the game has nothing to do with the fact that you are underage and do not belong on this website.

>play an actual RPG
such as?

All fallout games are shit, ob*idian tried to make a good game out of NV but it flopped horribly due to source material being so unimaginative. It's a bad take on a post apocalyptic world with horrible writing and terrible info dumps as well as brainlet tier repeating in dialogue of same information multiple times. The choices are non-existant and the persuasion tree is horrible and completely ruins many of the barely decent characters.

Go play 1, 2 or Arcanum you fucking zoomer.

Yas Forums - forced animation

Planescape Torment, Neverwinter Nights 2 Mask of Betrayer, KotOR II, Chrono Trigger, Morrowind, VtMB are some entry-tier easy to get into medias that are easily superior to NV.

Goalposts

not an argument

>Planescape Torment, Neverwinter Nights 2 Mask of Betrayer, KotOR II, Chrono Trigger, Morrowind, VtMB
Safest, most bland answer you could've given. Not even saying those are bad games but I was really hoping you were actually gonna give an interesting answer instead of the same thing everyday.

Those have exactly the same amount of RPG elements as NV.

You didn't argue against my point either, you just moved the goalposts.

You're trying too hard

Less even. Planescape Torment and Morrowind don't let you make any important decisions and KOTOR II railroads you into the same boring Jedi/Sith dichotomy despite it being critical of said dichotomy.

what

it means you need to stop looking at FNV and admit Fallout 3 was the best story in the entire series explicitly because the hero sacrifices himself at the end, don't you understand how deep and magical that makes my geemu?

?? WRPGs are a dead genre, the only one that comes to mind in the past few years are DA:O, MEII and W:3 which are much worse in comparison to the titles I named and can barely be called a proper RPG.

DD is a meme, Divinity Original Sin is trash, the rest of elder scrolls after oblivion trash, PoE trash, souls are not rpg

lol'd
You saying "no" is not an argument and does not deserve more of my time.

Well I agree with that, but I'm just sick of reading the same old "Planescape Torment, Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind" etc as those games aren't that amazing in the RPG department either. I keep hoping when I ask "what are some good RPGs" that people will say some game I've never heard of but they always say those same games. It's really quite depressing
