Games should be fun, realism is boring
You're right, the series should've been called Half-Life since most of the radiation has already decayed (and Half-Life should be called Fallout because the series is about dealing with the fallout of a science experiment)
Oh fuck you're right
If they made it that real, it wouldn't be about exploring a big map and encountering stuff because you'd just have to take the same back and forth trips to the same 2 safe places to trade and buy survival stuff. That would be boring beyond belief. And no, I'm not just talking about the Bethesda Fallout games. Even in the old ones that shit would get annoying real quick.
radiation in fallout universe works like in those 50s cartoon infomercials. radiation is bad because it will make you glow and turns you into a mutant! and all that. thats the whole premise to the series' satirical post nuclear world.
>because you'd just have to take the same back and forth trips to the same 2 safe places to trade and buy survival stuff
So it would be stalker SoC?
that's pretty good.
...I'm trying to think of another game pair where you can swap names but I'm too tired
because the name is not referencing nuclear fallout, but rather the inevitable consequence of nuclear war: human civilization collapsing and regressing to a pre-industrial barbaric society
this. its not meant to be accurate. there is a reason the games have a retro-futurustic vibe
Because it takes place 200 years after the end. New Vegas is the only game in the series to realize this and make it about people building different societies rather squatting in the same bombed buildings for 200 years
Why don't developers ever put anything in Pittsburgh. It's really weird considering the Horror OG franchise is set there.
That... Actually makes sense
Mods fix this
First game is set 84 years after the bombs dropped, the Beth games are set 200 years after the bombs dropped, radiation shouldnt be such a big deal after so much time.
We live in some kinda fucked up alternate universe dont we
youre ignoring 1 and 2
Good to see not everyone is retarded.
>Rad-Away and Rad-X are plentiful
While I wont disagree, it really depends on what areas you go because some of the best equipment in these games are hidden at the very end of dungeons filled with radiation.
Only started playing at FO3 onwards but it always irked me how "normal" the wastelanders were. They had limited knowledge of history/culture but they acted like modern-day dudes; even the raiders and mutants spoke perfect english. I was expecting stone-age tribals who have fuckall understanding of radiation, but religiously avoid irradiated zones because it's full of evil spirits or something.
But radiation in fallout works properly disregarding the mutants.
Bethesda's lead writer purposefully goes through all the dialogue they write and "cleans" it up, removing swearing and trashy language.
Well it is supposed to be set after like 200 years the world went to hell, if anything it doesnt make sense theyre still living in a shithole and haven't bothered in cleaning up the rubble or making actual house that dont look like gargabe
God, ignore my retarded typing, I meant "house that dont look like garbage"
Play STALKER, OP. The radiation will fuck you right up, even TOUCHING standing water means you need to take a vodka bath.
the tribes in new vegas's DLC honest hearts are like that. they dont speak english and they believe in evil spirits in the ruins
I thought ghouls and mutant were because of FEV and that radiation is the same.
Who here watching Chernobyl? Shits cash
A game that really tackled radiation, where you can see the wavering walls when you look down hallways and the old-style-cinema kind of flecking light would be cool. Remember to keep your eyes covered when not absolutely necessary to see.
Rads are worse in 4 they lower your healthbar instead of like 3/NV with a separate bar
You have to mod the fuck out of Fallout to get the bear grills experience.
It's pretty crazy when you install something like "realistically dark nights" and start doing stuff like waiting for morning to depart from places
You realize that devs are constantly selling us these open world survival fantasies but are ultimately too afraid to inconvenience people with a dark night.
What the fuck are you on about?
Radiation has always been a (poor) plot vehicle in Todd-llout games.
You literally have to take a shortcut through a town of shotas because the entrance of the Vault where the GECK is in has like a hardcoded radiation wall of 9999/s in Fallout 3.
You are also forced to cross the heavily mined bridge in the Pitt because the river is contaminated, as your picture clearly shows.
And lets not even get started on Fallout 4 and the bullshit "Glowing Sea".
Sure, it's comfy, but also extremely retarded.
I only remember popping one radaway in the original Fallout
Also, speed should be impacted in these games first. Trudging through irradiated ground wears at your toes first and foremost, the bones in your toes get looser and looser until moving them is painful. Wear boots.
>3.6 roentgen
Understandable. Even if the bombs fell 20 years ago I doubt realistic settlements would look like Arefu or whatever, humans are innately resourceful
Gotta commend Bethesda for the accurate depiction of Shitsburgh
So, Stalker?
>2019
>Still believing in (((radiation)))
FUCK
Another reason why west coast Fallout is superior.
>roentgen
LOOK MUMMY I KNOW SMART WORD BECAUSE OF A TV SHOW
Anomalies are real even though I've only ever really interacted with a gravi. Some warping air knot and when I tossed an empty toilet paper roll at it the damned thing curved back at me, indoors with no air blowing. Bees disappear if you stick your foot into the grass they fly into.
Somebody just started Chernobyl....
codeword: noosphere
not great not terrible
>LOOK MOMMY I KNOW SMART WORD BECAUSE OF BOOK
same principle, different type of media, FAGGOT
I mean you mostly play 200 years after the bombs drop.
The radiation would have subsided by then. You got to remember their nukes are different to how they are in our world.
What in the goddamn?
Then play the real Fallout 4 where you die if you step in high radiation areas without the correct rad suits.
nobody uses roentgens as a measure unit since the 90s
he's right, you're a zoomer faggot that learned a new word thanks to the bretty good kinobyl series
but you shouldn't go around parroting it like a retard
because people will know you're just a zoomer faggot
oof ow my brain
>The radiation would have subsided by then
no it wouldn't
stop spreading this lie
>he thinks television is the same as literature, especially classical
Ikr desu, Imagine ever playing a game by todd called Half-Life 3
The bombs were designed to destroy and not to radiate.
Much like the first atomic bombs that were dropped on hiroshima.
So what is the real life rad level needed to melt you like Fallout 1/2 death animations?
why are hiroshima and nagasaki livable
tell me user
Just because it isn't used, doesn't mean it isn't written about in study books
ionizing radiation dissipates a few weeks after a nuclear explosion. there really wouldn't be much to worry about 200 years after the fact
Enough where someone sane and perceptive would notice, either by tingle or hurting eyes, and immediately run. If you're not aware of it initially it can be like the frog in slowly boiling water. The slow disconnecting of muscle and bone makes a walking person creak and pop along.
I see that /RBMK/ is leaking.
I'd rather die, holy shit
You do die.
he wanted to die, they wouldn't let him
This. Once you install mods like Nevada Skies shit gets real
He's a big guy
There's already so much proof we live in the wrong timeline, but this takes the cake.
On Sept. 30, 1999, one of the World´s worst nuclear accidents happened in a facility northeast of Tokyo in Tokaimura. The accident occurred as two workers, Hisashi Ouchi and Masato Shinohara were pouring a solution of uranium oxide in nitric acid into a sedimentation tank by hand, using buckets.
Criticality was reached. The following nuclear fission chain reaction became self-sustaining and began to emit intense gamma and neutron radiation. At the time of the criticality event, Ouchi had his body draped over the tank and immedietly saw a flash of blue light emanating from the container.
He vomited in to the tank and lost consciousness. His co-worker Masato Shinohara managed to run three paces before losing consciousness as alarms sounded.
When doctors received the two patients in Tokyo they were not yet aware of the extent of damage incurred.
>You will never get to shoot irradiated doggos
Why live?
Play 1, 2, and NV, they all do those ideas varying amounts of justice
>Fallout released in 1997
>Half Life released in 1998
Yep, I'm thinking Valve and interplay both dropped the ball on this one. Also, put me in the screencap.
4u
A look at Ouchi’s chromosomes revealed that they had been shattered like glass. Doctors knew they had no chance to save his life.
He had been exposed to 17,000 times the legally sanctioned dose of radiation—comparable with radiation levels at the epicentre of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
His immune system had been destroyed, with his white blood cell count barely registering. His skin began to slough off of his body.
For 83 days medical staff exerted questionable efforts to keep Hisashi alive, including daily blood transfusions, multiple skin transplants and what is believed to be the world’s first transfusion of peripheral stem cells.
Doctors treating him stated that he displayed signs of pain throughout his treatment, despite huge doses of painkillers. A Week after the accident Ouchi was still able to communicate and stated that he wanted to die because he couldn´t take the pain anymore.
Really? Source? Are any of the original scripts available?
Miner, I'm CIA (coal intelligence agency)
>Half Life 3 should've happened but didn't
>Fallout 3 should never have happened but did
Oh dear
>The bombs were designed to destroy and not to radiate.
the complete opposite
nuclear bombs in the fallout universe are dirty bombs in comparison
cleanup
the same that made chernobyl not a nuclear desert
>hurr mah books
you haven't read a single book of radiology.
Goddamn.
No, but I do read chemistry and physics
>Hisashi Ouchi and Masato Shinohara were pouring a solution of uranium oxide in nitric acid into a sedimentation tank by hand, using buckets
Yeah, that seems like a bad idea.
Ghouls are from radiation super mutants and centaurs are from FEV
you don't.
because if you did then you'd know you're talking out of your ass.
>A Week after the accident Ouchi was still able to communicate and stated that he wanted to die because he couldn´t take the pain anymore
Wtf, why did they bother keeping him alive for that long then?
Chernobyl roughly translates to Black Mesa

to study the effects of radiation on the human body
even today we still know very little about it, since human testing is difficult and accidents are too chaotic
Play metro 2033 , that's a real man's game
apparently they kept him alive to see what effects extreme radiation has on humans.
keep larping, faggot.
you're no older than 15.
>Ouchi
he was destined for this
>Chemistry AND physics.
No one does that except underage high schoolers. You dont study both in college.

I can't remember the source but Emile does this with alot of his writing, including forcing his religion into everything he writes

Imagine your body encountering a fatal error and taking hours to crash, let alone months. Like one of those loose teeth dreams that doesn't end.
>3.6 roetgen
You literally got it from the show/
He was literally slowly decomposing all at once while still alive.
I think its pretty incredible that they actually managed to keep him alive for that long
Somewhere in alternate Yea Forums there is an user saying their Half Life should've been called Fallout because it dealt with the fallout of society and... actually I can't come up with a good reason for our Half Life to be called Half Life
It's not only good, it's one of the best series ever. Also, it's only five episodes long, so you don't even lose that much time if you watch it. last episode comes next week. The whole incident and it's aftermath is really disturbing and it's great to see how people react to it
Half-Life is about the rapid decay of an already bad situation.
>the first game revolves around the mutants and the struggle of mankind in the harsh wasteland
>it is literally and figuratively about the fallout of nuclear war as it pertains to humanity and the residual conflicts arising from the consequences of nuclear war
You're welcome OP.
when you boot up the first fallout and play it the game presents a post apocalyptic world full of mutants created by radiation. fev doesnt come up until very late into the game and serves just as a backstory. why is it so hard for people to understand this.
a rare sight in Yea Forums holy fuck
Because reading is hard and games past ftactics (including f3 and nv) are just shooters. At least onlbsidifags tried their best while making nv.
holy shit
This is stupid. Both names are metaphorical and you just don't get it.
nah
>Ouchi
Indeed.
the half life for some isotopes can go higher than 20 thousand years.
>tfw when you learn a new word and are eager to try it out.
What do you think of Chernobyl, guys?
haha benis :-DDDD
What happened to Shinohara? Did he die too?
How would you play the game?
>Half Life: New Vegas
>Fallout: Opposing Force
Radiation has always fucked with me man, it's the one thing I'm truly frightened of, anytime someone mentions radiation I immediately get uncomfortable and get tingles all over my body. What a fucking awful way to go.
Are you seriously trying to defend Fallout 3 on Yea Forums of all places?
Yes, very.
This has been pretty common knowledge among the common meme wizard for years.
We're the wacky ones and it's probably because some black scientist made butter out of nuts.
>Shinohara seemed to be getting better. On New Year’s Day 2000, he was taken in his wheelchair to visit the hospital gardens.
>However, in late February 2000, Shinohara contracted pneumonia and the damage to his lungs from the radiation meant that he needed to be put on a ventilator. This prevented him from speaking, so he had to write messages to nurses and family. Some of the last words written by Shinohara were “Mommy, please.”
>Shinohara died April 27, 2000 of multi-organ failure.
>Mommy, please
Based.
Fuck, at least he wasn't in as much crippling pain as Ouchi but it's still terrible to be given hope that you would make it and a few months later you realized you're fucked too.
Kino but sad af
Guess I'm staying up now.
>typing all these words just to Yea Forums crosspost
Fuck off, retard.
It has a double meaning. Fallout, as in actual fallout as well as the fallout of civilisation, the events after the bomb, the world and how it's all changed.
not good but not terrible
Do you guys taste metal?
threads like this are always at night no matter what your time zone i swear to god
It really does seem that way, doesn't it? You plan on sleeping soon?
aw little baby will sleep in 30 min instead of 20 tonight aw such a hard life.
I hate when fuckers pretend they have sleep issues. I can only sleep at nighttime when im extremely tired. Even then it takes me an hour to fall asleep. Then I wake up every single night in 3 hours. And then after 2-3 more hours im awake again and thats all the sleep im gonna get. Oh yeah sometimes I get 3-4 hours total sleep. So fuck off faggot.
You know absolutely nothing about my life to make such a statement, but yeah cool story.
stfu little zoomer faggot.
bro you seem mad, try having a nap and I bet you won't be as mad :)
>posting office gifs
fuck off back to twitter
no but for other reasons unrelated
what a fulfilling life you must lead
You must really be bored. I'm not interested in your provocations. You have good night, grumpy.
You know human beings don't literally mean everything they communicate, right? Like, for example, that user was likely just using the idea of losing sleep to discuss the small bit of anxiety that story brought to him instead of literally complaining about losing sleep?
Ah, I see.
Look at this special snowflakes. Nobody suffers like this guy does. Feel sorry for him!
Should have posted his Karyogram as well.
Left is a healthy male, right is Ouchi. The man had no functioning protein synthesis left, all his cells were dying

Why? I know it's shit, I know it's shallow, I know its debatably worse than Skyrim and Fallout 4, and I know it's a bastardization of the franchise, but I can't help but reinstall it and actually enjoy myself from time to time.
>love game
>like lesser game utilizing the same framework
Shouldn't be too hard to put two and two together
Please stop posting Chernobyl memes, i don't want Yea Forums in my threads.
The top right photo isn't him iirc as there is no record of him ever having a leg amputated
Yeah but anti radiation pills shouldn't be so plentiful, after 5 hours of gaming you usually have more radx and radaway than you'll need for the next 15 hours
Heck we're all out here playing chess while user here is playing 4D checkers
i'd play them
>uuh.... my foot itches!
jesus cocksucking christ
what is this?
looks like yet another Joseph Goebbels tier bullshit about Soviets

Probably have an anime girl with a ushanka as a profile pic somewhere
I just don't like to be fed with bullshit, if you really want to understand something (USSR for example) you will study by primal sources and not by movies, video games and memes.
That's a good observation user

Someone get this man to the infirmary he is clearly delusional
ahah why did this idiot piss herself lmao
Go play something else, autismo. Fallout isn't a survival game, although you can install some mods to make it one.

at last i truly see
The Pitt DLC from Fo3
Why don't developers ever put anything GOOD in Pittsburgh
I've always liked those out of bounds uber radiation zones. Or the entrance to little lamplight.
That was a good DLC, troglodyte
But Half Life itself isn't even half dead but completely dead
>been browsing Yea Forums
that’s where you went wrong

>mfw
>>Acute Radiation Sickness doesn't horrendously disfigure/kill you slowly
They handle that through stat debuffs. Also, hitting 1000 rads total kills character.
Fallout 4 just makes it directly subtract from health pool to the point where character dies.
Radiation is not a thing you can just accumulate, let sit for a few days and then flush out with some pills so you live happily ever after knowing that because you didn't get too many Rads, the damage wasn't permanent or fatal
