By that very same logic, someone could say CoD is fun all day, every day, because of the "mostly polished" gameplay.
I can understand that more than I can understand enjoying Fallout 1 and 2.
It just seems to me that if you want to play Fallout 1 or 2, just play a tabletop RPG, because it will be a thousand times better and will give you the same effect.
But some people enjoy the universe, darkness, story, and dread that Fallout as a universe brings. And speaking from an atmospheric perspective, Fallout 1 and 2 nail that on so many levels. Just because one does it better doesn't mean the other should be completely disregarded. And you're comparing a video game to a real life table top thing, which kinda blurs the line.

but I could forgive it due to it's age
Don't do that
Why not? It's not terrible at all, and while definitely showing signs of it being an old game it's pretty decent
Old games can still be as good (or better) than games made nowadays gameplay-wise. Saying "it's old" isn't an excuse for shit gameplay.
In terms of gameplay, it's kind of impossible to compare Fallout 1 and 2 to 3 and NV, considering they're entirely different genre's at that point. It'd be like comparing World of Warcraft to its predecessors Warcraft 1-3. That's why whenever someone talks about them, it's the lore, because it holds up between all games.

I'm trying to imagine what modern colonialism involving the major European powers would look like...and honestly, it's looking good for modern Africa.
More doctors and hospitals, actual jobs, better infrastructure, human rights and civil liberties...
It would require a complete redraw of the African map
What do you think the map of Africa would look like if it wasn't colonized?
Apparently this is an educated guess.
Why is it upside down?
Why do maps made in NA, Europe, and Asia place their respective continents in the center?
Well all the maps I see from NA are New World is on the left (western hemisphere), and Old World on the right. The middle is just the Atlantic.
Look up. A lot of maps made in the US use to place it in the center. Eurasia was split in two for these.
Yeah I've seen em, but never once in school or anything educational did I see it being used. Plus it's just ugly.
I saw them being used all the time in elementary and middle school back when I was a kid. Hence me saying "they use to be pretty common".
Really? Huh. I think we can both agree they're just awful to look at.

I enjoyed them more for the world and the atmosphere of the game rather than the combat, I loved the "Humanity trying to rebuild itself" theme it had going on as opposed to how it feels in Fallout 3 and to a lesser extent NV, where it feels like the apocalypse just happened
Also the good storytelling and quests, the combat was ok, nothing special but I could forgive it due to it's age
Fallout 1 and 2 always did the "Humanity trying to rebuild" better than Fallout 3 or NV ever did. Plus the settlements in 1 and 2 are the reason I prefer them over NV. We got places like Los Angeles, Vault City, New Reno, Arryo, and Shady Sands. I didn't get that same feeling from NV if we're sticking to the desert.

But your opinion on what "shit gameplay" is =/= the opinion of what everyone else sees it as. I could just as easily say Call of Duty has shit gameplay because of its twitch mechanics and simplicity to cater to casual fans. Sad to say, but you're in the minority with that opinion. You can dislike it all you want, but simply ruling off an entire genre as shit because you don't like it is horribly ignorant. CoD gives you control of the player and is mostly pretty polished. Just a boring game. It's fun for a game or two then it's boring.
Fallout 1 and 2 are just not fun to play. By that very same logic, someone could say CoD is fun all day, every day, because of the "mostly polished" gameplay. And I need to bring it up again, but if you think Pillars of Eternity is a shit game, then it simply boils down to you not liking the genre.

I can't continue this discussion in two threads, so I'll take it to the one you made specifically for it.

It probably is shit. Gameplay>story every time, and the gameplay in Fallout 1 and 2 is so shit I don't see how you can enjoy it.
And this discussion can end right here. Your opinion is not the objective fact of the gaming industry. No offense, but get over yourself in that regard.
But that's objective
Game+shit gameplay+good lore/story=shit

Because it's an old game that relies on a very old gameplay system from the 90's. Some people like that stuff, others don't. You don't have to like it and then suddenly say it's horrible because you don't like it. I don't like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, and most Telltale games, but I can see why others enjoy it. It's not your style of game, that's fine. But don't go around saying something is shit just because you personally do not enjoy it. But WoW is shit for the same reason.
Call of Duty is easy to understand because it's just a casual shooting game
but I honestly cannot see how it could possibly be fun to play a game like Fallout 1 or 2. It just isn't enjoyable, and if you're only playing for the lore/story then you're an idiot. WoW is shit how? This is literally boiling down to "I don't like it, so other people can't like it." That's honestly what you're telling me. After I got past getting used to Fallout 1 and 2, I enjoy it a lot. It's the same reason people love Baulders Gate. And since Pillars of Eternity follows that same gameplay, are you telling me THAT'S bad too? It probably is shit. Gameplay>story every time, and the gameplay in Fallout 1 and 2 is so shit I don't see how you can enjoy it. And this discussion can end right here, considering A. PoE got rave reviews and B. is very strong in both the gameplay and story department. Your opinion is not the objective fact of the gaming industry. No offense, but get over yourself in that regard. move along

Considering the numerous assassination attempts while he was IN office, I don't think that is true.

Aren't we all originally Africans! Let's get along!
I think there was a new founding of bones older than African ones on another continent which has debunked that. I forget where though.
Edit: Nvm, it's South Africa.
I still don't believe we all came from Africa and we're all originally black. Doesn't make sense.
A lot of evolution doesn't make sense, or is wild. But I can see why there are skeptics.

Like mentioned above with the military, it's because it is something you strongly associate with on an emotional or loyalty level. Sports brings out the tribal nature in people, the "them against us" mentality. That's why it is so loved.

That dog looks like an oversized rat
no wonder it died out. the cute gene was a more deciding factor the more humans domesticated wolves/dogs anyway. Even the worlds ugliest dog comp has something adorable about them.

Halo 6 was more enjoyable than Halo 4.3

but seriously though, Halo 4 was better than Reach.
If you liked no map control, Call of Halo, and random care package drops
then yes
But I suspect most people's logic is "no armor lock/bloom so it's better", which is a good thing yes, but it still had much more going against it.
Nope, I cared for the story.
The multiplayer was shit, and I forgot about it.
The multiplayer which is the longevity of it, was horrible. So that's what I was talking about.
And I already agreed. Jeez, I'm in it for the universe, Halo 4 did good on that, but did horribly in the multiplayer department. So I eventually just reverted back to Halo 3, but occasionally went back to 4 just to play the campaign.
I honestly enjoyed Reach's campaign, though I do admit the characters were bland.
The campaign didn't make me care for the characters except for Jorge, the story butchered perfectly written canon because hue hue we bungie and we r bettur at dis fuk ur gud buk h3re tak our blund karakterz hue
As someone who didn't read the books (omg, I know r8???), I didn't have much problem with it. Book aside though, you can't tell me the scene below wasn't something that was sort of magical. Seeing how Halo 1 started being kicked off right before your eyes. https://youtu.be/-ssHzOZRmUw?t=228

Sonic Adventure 2 was amazing
horrible voice acting though, but "Live and Learn" is an amazing song.
