so there i was browsing the back of the Heavy Weapons Team booklet just trying to figure which of them i want to build first
and i am fucking giggling
imagine being charged by chaos marines or nids or some shit and u hear the sergeant say “i got this” and shoot his fucking flare pistol at one of them xD
Bonus points if it kills them/it
Like the flare somehow breaks through an eye lense and fucking incinerated a word bearer terminator
Poor Fallout 4 really went completely unremembered outside one funny video that got memed. Nothing intentionally in the game really charmed people like Fallout 3 or New Vegas did and it seems like very few people felt they could get any higher entertainment value out of it than Monster Factory did and it faded from public consciousness.
And I don’t remember anything else about it standing out to me as a game either, but it sucks and makes me very sad because if only Fallout 4 had been more culturally relevant perhaps it would have been able to elevate scorpionflies from obscurity.
Imagine a world where the first video game to feature this insect actually took off enough that they became common knowledge, especially from all the people who might assume the “stingwing” is just a cool made-up monster until they learn it was just lifted 1:1 from an actual animal, THEN they learn that the real animal’s tail is not a stinger at all but the male’s genitalia. It could have gone so viral. But they blew it. They put it in a game that people were just okay about. They RUINED scorpionfly’s big chance :(
