Fallout already died, I just want Bethesda to stop pretending it lives while fucking the corpse.
What are you talking about? Since when was fallout dead?
It "died" after Tactics for a while. Honestly after Fallout 2, it didn't have any strong releases until Bethesda bought them out and pushed out Fallout 3. I mean, there WAS that PS2 game, but no one ever talks about that.

So yeah, it was dead for 10 years. 1998 Fallout 2 released, and 2008 was Fallout 3. Almost poetic seeing as they made it 200 years after the bombs.

The explosion of Assassin's Creed games kinda baffles me. To my understanding, none of the games were particularly outstanding (never played one myself--just going off what I've heard). What's the deal?
i think the appeal is in the pseudohistorical aspects of the setting and the art style. i remember i actually really liked just running around and exploring damascus in AC1. i cant imagine why anyone would want to play them for the actual gameplay or story though. blegh.

AC really blew up after Assassins Creed 2, which was handled expertly well. The series really tanked once AC3 hit, and while AC4 was arguably the best one in the series, it just got worse after 3 as a whole. Games plagued with glitches and all that, the story with Desmond was handled piss poorly.

See the problem was, AC games really were building up to the 2012 thing at the time, and leading up to Desmond saving the world. In AC3 he DID do that, but it was handled so horribly with his story, that it's not even worth mentioning. Now we're just left with this Templar vs Assassin thing again, with this antagonist god like woman who's just kinda around the world, but not really doing anything yet.

Basically a way to drag the modern story around. That and after Desmond died (spoilers?), an entire cast just went out the window. So while you have this past thing going well, that's about it. No strong lead modern cast.

Your understand is kinda wrong, considering the last one released (Link Between Worlds) got rave reviews. The others have just been remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask coming to fill the gap between the new one on the horizon.

Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are shit. I've never heard of a Link between Worlds but I assume it's not a full-blown 3D Zelda like OoT and Majora's Mask?

If so, I'm strictly speaking of 3D Zelda games, following the pattern of OoT, MM, WW, TP and SS, to which the last two were most definitely the worst in the series.

This new one on the NX looks amazing, though. I'm buying an NX just for it (probably).

Twilight Princess got rave reviews and fans loved it though. It may not be the best one ever but it's a very strong outing. Skyward Sword was the one I know that wasn't the strongest, but that's it.

Oh well. A Zelda game that isn't WW/OoT/MM-tier isn't worth the description of "good", IMO. Specifically MM all things considered.

Star Wars should die, yeah. If for no other reason than to spite the fanbase.

6 more movies, 3 more seasons, and countless books, comics, and games are on their way baby. Star Wars will outlive you.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
ALBW is a 3D Zelda btw. On 3DS. Sequel to A Link To The Past.

It's not strictly 2D gameplay though? Many segments are top down from what I remember.

That's not what 2.5D means. 2.5D means that it's 3D rendering but gameplay is  restricted to a two-dimensional plane. Street Fighter IV is 2.5D; ALBW uses 2.5D and 3D gameplay. You have as much control during 3D segments as you would in Majora's Mask, the only difference is that the camera is overhead instead of behind Link.

all games are restricted to a two-dimensional plane though

point being, it's not considered a "3D Zelda" because it uses the top-down perspective rather than the over-the-shoulder perspective

That's a bit pedantic. Two-dimensional gameplay means that your movement options are restricted left-right, whereas 3D uses compass directions (front-right-back-left, with between like front-right and back-left in most games since the 5th gen)

Never seen it not counted as a 3D. I've seen it excluded from the Zelda cycle because it's a handheld, and people like to only count console games when talking about Zelda for some reason. Probably because it shows that the cycle is a lot of balogna.
