Title: A Review of Every Version of FOnline ever
Post by: Smalltime on January 06, 2014, 01:27:56 pm
After years of experience bouncing from version to version of FOnline, we decided to toss together a review of every version of FOnline ever. Ever.
Seriously. It doesn't get better.
Ever.

Most of the assets used are from reloaded, though not all.

(Admittedly, we could have found better examples of an apathetic moderator, but digging through 2238 screenshots of their forums is.. too painful.)

I was waiting for progression and some conclusions drawn besides the one you told in the 1st minute.

I think you should buy a new-gen console. Noone ever took Mario's pants.

If you don't like it, don't play it.

Video was quite bad, as it told just PvP view of game.

Edit: As player, you are worth of nothing for this game at the moment.

Where was it said we hated it?
Anyway, the PvE aspect of the game is negligible until actual dungeons are added.
I guess we could have mentioned going balls deep into ares and finding locked desks full of 10mm pistols, farming passive enclave, running from city to city picking random locked boxes exposed in city streets, and grinding ghouls from level 1 till you are max perk level.

Been here longer than you, Black.

How much longer by the way? That vid sounds like to be made by a newb ragequitting after a week.

How many games you can name that occupied you longer than various FOnline servers?

Not gonna compare dick sizes over time spent playing this game. This is the culmination of years of experience playing FOnline across multiple servers, and months playing on this server (though we have been admittedly on hiatus for a few months, because we have all of the top tier gear we'll ever need, and no new content has been released to justify our return yet.)
If you use your ears, you may be able to discern the morbidly positive tone of the parody video.

"Still. A sea of shit is quite an anomaly. It's a unique thing, and the journey to stay afloat can be justified just by trying to see what else is floating in there with you."

Okay, now we know that the game is full of shit and your faction (???) is very powerful inside your bases.

What else do you wish to share with us?

How did you come to this conclusion, do you have scientific evidence or are you just spewing bullshit as you've always done?

Everyone understands the "parody" but the point that fonline never changes, of course not, why would it? You're just saying the same things everyone else has, it isn't cute, it isn't new and fresh.

You and I will continue to live in our incest little family we call "fonline", as we've always done. It goes back to 2238, Requiem, Goon Haven, TLA, and it will continue along the same path it always has.

Grind here, grind on TLA, it's all the same "sea of shit", that's the way it's been, that's the way it always will be. People like it that way.

Nothing new.

Ahh. Ok.

My irony sense tingled a bit, but other parts suppressed the feeling. For that, I wouldn't use it (for example) to try to get my friends interested in a 20 year old game. Maybe for I don't trust their English to discover such hidden connotations.

It seems to me that a big part of the active FOnline playerbase is from central or east Europe. So do I. The TS I'm on sounds (and reads) like Babel - as the tension raises, the conversation slowly converges (though never fully reaches) being in English.  1 INT chars improve the experience further. So as I was advised: Basic English, short sentences.

Anyways... I maybe missed a reminder for the new generation how was gaming in the '90s. People struggled for -years- to play trough a game. We did sweat blood. Do you know anyone who played trough Prince of Persia? I just met the guy. Big respect to him. So... I prefer to describe FOnline as a hybrid of mmos and '90s gaming.

tl:dr
Ahh ok. I just missed a tiny emphasis on how cool is that to against all odds thrive in such environment.

Well, for one, you shouldn't take offense for a game you didn't actually make, it's unbecoming of a lady.

are you just spewing bullshit as you've always done?
You've always been the last one in on the joke, Black. I'm only sorry we didn't discard you and your malformed cronies sooner.

Anyway, if you guys don't get the joke, I don't blame you. We've been wanting to toss one of these together for a while, so we did it. Might be a bit too wordy for anyone from Eastern Europe, for which I apologize. I enjoyed working on it, and I have no more posts to contribute to this thread after this. Enjoy, or don't.

Well if you want to offend me then you need to try harder. For me this thread is quite ridiculous and this:

is totally laughable ;)

Look at this condescending fuck. Kilgore, care to explain how a +5 str "non-flagged" quest came into being. How could something as such a massive bonus appear from no where hmm? And strange, how it is the minimum strength requirement to use all Big Guns. Seriously, go fuck yourself

Try checking 2238 source for that, you fucking moron.

Bullshit, if this were around since 2238, everyone would know. As most of us have been playing LONG before 2238 died.

I remember being FORCED to scour through the code to see what the fuck was happening in the game, because none of the dialogue was in english and there were no wiki's.

I'm not convinced you are an innocent party in this. This is a GAME BREAKING advantage. I'd say it deserves a wipe, but whats the point? You guys have your names all over the Pipboy, wouldn't want to lose that...

Don't be silly.

Here. Come back after you find it. Until you find it or prove me there is no such thing there, don't post bullshit here.

Btw you lack basic reasoning. If I made this bug-exploit-whatever, then I'd be extremely dumb to fix it and post info about it in changelog.
Or I could just ninja-fix it and forget about it.

Moreover, if I wanted some cheated stats for anyone, I could boost them via admin commands. You make absolutely no sense, but I got used to it.

Yet I'm being honest and post all changes in changelog.

I don't even know why I'm here arguing with you. I haven't played this game in months. I logged in last night for the first time, killed some people at warehouse, killed some people at New Reno, found some weird Enclave Helmet, got killed and don't plan on playing again.
