Goodbye. Apologies for the pedantry, I suspect restricted thinking patterns that don’t allow me to compromise on what the truth is might be part of the autism thing. I kind of like it that way.
Hey my bad, there are lots of pedants on the fediverse so I tend not to engage much further when I spot it. “Have you actually played Fallout 1?” really gave off “you like band? name every song” vibes.
I commented originally because it was an inherently silly argument. It’s like saying Google wasn’t successful because Alphabet has become so much more.
That was the intention even if I didn’t ask that directly. People try to act cool by pretending that they they’re familiar with something „classic” and to anyone who played old Fallout games it was plain obvious that they didn’t. I didn’t expect people to dogpile on me though. Using the same analogy, I was correcting someone wearing a Metallica t-shirt who said that And Justice For All has the best sounding bass.
To me this kind of rewriting history is really bothersome. What if someone didn’t like Bethesda Fallout games but since everyone says it was always like that they won’t ever give those old games a try?
That’s not exactly a long list there.
Compare it to https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_2_cultural_references
Have you actually played Fallout 1?
Sequel to popular game has more things that people liked, more at 11!
Seems like you agree with me that Fallout wasn’t drowning in pop culture references in the beginning. Why the sarcasm?
I’m not interested in your pedantry, goodbye
