      He is just a part of a far bigger picture. The team that worked on Fallout New Vegas did great job though. Many would even say better than what Bethesda manages to do with their games.

    • @suplextrain

      @suplextrain 6 лет назад +3

      You should check out Dying Light 2. The first one was good and they're expanding the narrative and RPG aspects in the second game. Chris Avellone is also the narrative designer and is co-writing the game. It's also a kind of post-apocalyptic style of game.

    Not a huge fan of RPG's but love to hear the insight on how the industry works and the confirming of how shitty a publisher can be on developers and their ideas.

    Either nobody in this industry understands what role-playing and character actually mean or they're just cashing in until it's technically possible to create an RPG.
    New Vegas is the dullest and worst performing game in the Fallout franchise, including FO76. If people didn't (rightly) hate Bethesda so vehemently, nobody would even mention NV.

    • @ktdagoat1289
      @ktdagoat1289 2 года назад +2

      Lol you sound horrible idiotic.. NV even with all the flaws you named it's by MAJORITY of FO fans the best in the series and definitely by far the best 3D FO so far.. Again it's the details, the fact they make your decisions feel much more in tuned with the world and more impactful to the player..

  • @MonkeyspankO
    @MonkeyspankO 6 лет назад +13

    Fan boys know why NV is one of the best RPGs EVER made. Maybe Obsidian knows...but I think more studios need to look at NV critically and extract what made it so beloved. On the surface, it look like a failure, but as the cliche goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Its the humor, its the zany useless perks you can take, that then also have meaning in the game world, its the deep story of Rome vs Rand vs Republics and so much more. I really do miss it.

    • @suplextrain
      @suplextrain 6 лет назад +9

      I'd say it's the focus on the roleplaying and worldbuilding that made it stand out. How it respects the player more and offers a greater sense of freedom. For example, the narrative and characters direct you along a certain path but if you want to then you can go directly to New Vegas and the story will still make sense.

    • @voltcorp
