    Well, yeah. It’s a satire of specifically America. Making one set in another country would be missing the point somewhat.

        I love how some people think that other people can’t do purposeful humour. 🙊

        edit: I can imagine that some folks could see malintent in the studio’s timing, but most understand that life is full of boring coincidences. This post just lent itself well to the joke. Muha.

    Technically the US annexed Canada in the Fallout universe, so you could have a Canadian Fallout and still be “in the US”. Vault-Tec even started building vaults up there.

    Probably won’t do that, but it would be interesting. A potentially cool idea would be to set a game on the former Canadian border. Maybe then a DLC could be in Canada proper.

      Maybe a bit north during winter, with cold hazards, mutated forests etc.

    • The Enclave wanted to take over the entire world. I find it hard to believe they were only operating in the US and that losing the president on that oil rig was a huge detriment to their cause. The president was a figurehead and whoever runs the show wasn’t there. Even Horrigan wasn’t the leader. He was a fuckin tool. Maybe the reason they haven’t been seen in the US for a while is because they’re off controlling Europe.

        My headcanon is that the rest of the world is pretty much back to some decent form of civilization and just left the US as a quarantine zone. I mean for christs sake they can’t even lay some brick or clean up after decades of living somewhere.

    Goddamn. I made a comment on another post about how I think people just have hateboners for certain devs and such, and this post just proves it.

    Like goddamn you’re all salty as fuck that a new update dropped (for free, that did add some things to the base game) that broke mods. I understand being upset, but it’s not really their responsibility to stop the work they’re doing on the game they made to ask if the third-party modders are okay with it.

    Entitlement is strong with these gamers.

    At the rate Bethesda works now Fallout won’t be in US anymore either. And it’ll probably suck if it is.

      I really enjoyed that game, though I definitely saw why it struggled.

        One of those games that was flawed in the right way that I just know if they got a chance to fix them with a sequel it could have been amazing.

    Nah, just a regular shoe. Not too hard. Just enough to convince him to get Fallout right.

      That depends on which game, and if you trust the person who said/wrote it.

      The USA is one of the options
