No the first fallout. Tactics would've been awesome as it has the BoS, which means liberty prime

>>323094206
Oh, my parents did that to me too, they got me SM64DS for Christmas because I'd been saving up for a DS, then pulled a DS out from behind the piano after all the presents were done.

Biggest dissapointments in my memory (not exactly childhood, but rather early adolescence, when I started being more critical of things):
>Oblivion
After Morrowind, it was a massive letdown and generally made me think for the first time more systematically what makes a difference between good and bad game.
>Homeworld 2
Despite playing Homeworld back in 2000, I only got to HW2 around 2008 or so. It was a letdown on every level.
>Fallout 3
Looking back at it, I feel stupid believing after Oblivion that Fallout 3 is going to be good. But at the time, I still thought less about companies and more about individual games and franchises.
>Modern Warfare 2
I genuinely enjoyed MW1. It was not a great game, it was not nearly as good as, say, Vietcong was, but it was a pleasant surprise and genuinely enjoyable piece of pop-culture. I expected MW2 to be more of the same. It was not.

That is pretty much that. Before that, I don't remember any fundamental dissapointments, and after that, I learned to temper my hype.

I think that was part of the joke. You know: jokes, often using nonsensical or absurd claims for comical effect?

Is the punchline the fact that fallout 3 (and now 4) exists? Im still triggered.

>>323095824
that actually looks fun as fuck
downloading that shit

>Is the punchline the fact that fallout 3 (and now 4)
No I'm pretty sure that qualifies as the conclusion of a tragedy.

I wanted to get Bloody Roar, by my mom wouldn't let me.

Which is probably good, more then likely kept me from being too much of a furfag.
