Watching other people play Fallout 1 on Twitch is painful

[booksarecool123]

So what is so hard to understand about it? I see half of the people that play it die from the rats in the starting cave or in Vault 15. How is it this hard to play for most people that play it? It's not like the UI is complicated and the entire game can be played with a two button mouse.

I'm fairly certain you already know the answer to that.

To be honest, those rats were also annoying the first time I played.

I'm sure they still are

I wonder how many wanderers ended their adventure right after their third missed swing during their first rat encounter.

Then why do you waste your time and watch it?

But the question is: Why would you do that?

I hope they're at least playing it in ultra widescreen, having to use a magnifying glass to see your char is just a better experience overall.

I've seen people do a lot worse then that to themselves for.....fun I guess.

Why the fuck are you watching other people play games online? Buy it and play it yourself like a normal person. There is nothing more deviant than watching other people play video games online. Stop the this nonsense immediately.

I don't set my testicles on fire. I sometimes enjoy setting my pubs on fire. It creates a flash burn that doesn't do much. I do it because 1) it is fun, like burning almost anything is 2) it is a much safer way of controlling the wild and unruly jungle of my pubs than using something sharp near my pride and joys 3) I like the smell it leaves. Its not pleasant but is far from unpleasant. It is savory and interesting and worth smelling.

Don't knock it till you try it.

Watching other people is generally painful and it is a Bad Idea and you should stop

Like watching youtubers or twitch streams or stalking game developers or reading long twitter chains about some flame war or anything on reddit, it is one of those things god has given us so that playing video games appears productive and edifying in comparison

I think you will be regretting those words at some point in your life.

I recall not getting out of the cave, being killed by the rats multiple times when I first played Fallout ages ago. I probably didn't find the knife even. I thought this game sucked. Now I know it was just me who sucked. I probably got out of the cave when trying to play this game one more time a few years ago only thanks to... reading the damn manual. That's the most probable reason those twitch players couldn't survive the opening area too.

A hero.

I've been doing this a lot longer than you have been alive. Sometimes there have been some minor Michael Jackson issues, but nothing near as bad as the time my wife requested a shave off all my pubs and the horror and pain and scabs and ball blood and awful. Nothing sharp ever again. My way is far superior to any other way.

It's easy to die in the beginning if you didn't put any points into agility/perception and combat skills. Even if you did, there's nothing stopping radscorpions from spawning on your way to Shady Sands/Vault 15.

You can escape many random encounters.

There is no button for that. You have to ... like ... manually run ...

You just lost 80% of your potential playerbase.
