a nuclear wasteland
A nuclear meltdown is worse than an air bursting nuke and Chernobyl has recovered just fine in a quarter of the time.

Also the Sky in Chernobyl didn't turn green.


this is the chernobyl exclusion zone

in fallout, as far as i'm aware, the entire country was ravaged by nukes

whether that would have any effect on the color of the atmosphere, i dunno, but i personally think the green tint adds a little gravitas to the idea that america was absolutely FUCKED by china

The area isn't safe for people to live in, but it's not a wasteland. The wild has reclaimed the area and made it look like this.

Spoiler









As you can see it's entirely possible to make a place look like it's been ravaged by a nuclear disaster without making it look like it's a barren wasteland. All of this overgrowth happened in 30 years as well, think of what it'll look like in another 170.

If you think the green tinted wasteland looks good that's fine, just don't try to justify Bethesda's art direction with something along the lines of "well it's supposed to look like this because there were a bunch of nukes dropped on it".


Spoiler
I should probably include somewhere in here that I actually don't use any mods like resurrection that would make FO3 and 4 look more like they would if fallout happened in real life and largely stick to Bethesda's original art direction for the series. I'm not trying to hate on them or tear them down for their choice, just dispel the notion that it's in anyway representative of what would happen in real life.

100s of nukes hitting one target probably is worse than nuclear meltdown. And Chernobyl is still bad off. Turned the trees red and damaged the animals. But yeah, not like Fallout.

By recovered just fine I mean in the way of plant life. Obviously it still isn't really safe for humans or other animals to live in.

It wasn't "hundreds of bombs hitting the same target", they were spread out across the entire country hitting the major population centers. The DC area specifically was hit with a low yield bomb which is why a lot of it is still intact.

I like my water to be clean, clear, and free of pollution, but if you like yours with pond scum and trash in it then that's cool too.

i dont get it
Mighty No. 9 has been getting bad reviews, so in comes Team Sonic with this banter, the very same franchise which has launched a continuous stream of shit for the past 25 years.

Colors and Generations were good apparently.

I wish Bethesda did a real remaster instead of dumping in a filter and god rays cause it still looks worse than the original PC release.
hey its fallout 3

The first thing I did when I got FO3 was turn off that obnoxious green filter.
It's better with it, though.

Remember kids, PRICE CONTROLS are what caused this.

Nothing. Else.

Well that and good old fashion corruption.

There was an article a while back on Forbes that explained that socialism isn't what's killing Venezuela, it's anti-marketism.

It's more like they used the old Kestrel design from Halo 2 and made it look more modern.

The Phaeton is has an almost entirely different shape to it too.

Workshop DLC is easy stuff to do since modders have already paved the way for what Bethesda is going to do.

2147
EA being this generous is fucking scarin me. Even Titanfall 2's DLC is going to be free.
What are they playing at?

well winning Worst Company in the US award twice in a row probably would make you want to change your image

That has nothing to do with it. Nobody really cared outside of a small section of the gaming community that was circle jerking over it.

The real answer is that EA thinks that it'll be more profitable in the long run to approach things like this.

If they're going to do an announcement what other platforms it's coming to it'll either be for Gamescom or TGS.

Or they can do something unconventional and announce it on Twitter like SE did for KH3.

Wonder what the other platforms are going to be since the game apparently isn't PS4 exclusive.

No idea which is more likely since the PC has been getting nearly all of the console games lately and the boner allows for publishers and devs to get somewhat of a "second launch" for their older titles due to backwards compatibility and it's been common for devs to bundle in their older titles with the current gen ones on that system.

Maybe if we're lucky it'll be both.

Funhaus has taught me that the rule 34 saying just isn't true. They have found some obscure things that didn't have any rule 34 for it

Rule #35 states that if there isn't you must make it.

Ok Sonics are more cringy definetely

But the DBZ ones even go as far as to make entire fan-series

You act as if things like Sonichu and Tanic the Hedgehog don't exist.

Just read this on FB.

2016 keeps taking all the celebs I like, and yet the Kardashians are still here. Is it too much to ask that Caitlyn run them over before going over a cliff? Add Kanye and this would be a payperview event

Tzeentch works in mysterious ways. The Kardaahians are probably needed to accomplish some goal in the great cosmic game.

Reminder that piracy =/= a lost sale.
reminder that nobody has made this argument

That's cool.

Doesn't really matter though.

2154
Reminder that piracy =/= a lost sale.

Studies have actually shown that piracy increases sales, particularly for small time devs and musicians since their products get the exposure they otherwise wouldn't have.

reminder: it's not as cool if you had to use mods
The mod that lets you place more items than the cap should at least be accepted.


Are you still against mods if the developer embraces them and makes the game with mods in mind?

Yes

IIRC verbs position is that mods are always bad and if a developer embraces them they're stupid for doing so.

Meanwhile they continue to release pokemon games.
because they already know people are gonna buy it

a new f-zero game without some kind of stupid gimmick would be a bigger risk than the gimmick itself, because nobody honestly gives a fuck about f-zero

its popularity rides on the coattails of captain falmeme and nothing else

I'd argue that inserting a stupid gimmick that nobody wanted or even asked for is just as big of a risk, maybe even more of one since they're messing with a formula that doesn't need to be changed. Just updated and given a bit of a facelift.

Not going to contest you on a lot of F-Zeros popularity these days being because of Captain Falcon memes cause it's true.
