Iktf op I asked my mom for fallout (the new one) and she got me the shit one from the 90s
>>323093905
Fallout Tactics is shit, yeah.
>>323092957
Surely this fellow forgot about 13. I forgive him
>christmas

>be me
>be not autistic
>by Drakengard on release day
>tfw
>>323094036
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.
>>323094282
what is this, 2 truths and a lie?
>Never had a PS1 when I was a kid
>Only had a PS2
>Get Ape Escape 2
>Played the shit out of it
>Never knew what the 2 meant in the title
>Was confused who Spike was and why characters acted like they already knew Specter
>Didn't know there was a first game until I beat the third game
Fucked me up as a kid.

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.
>>323094507
I was like 14.
I expected sick ass dragon shit and instead got Taro Yoko's wild ride.
>>323093339
It got plugged into a gameboy advance and read cards? google it too lazy to get pic
>>323094632
>never knew what 2 meant in the title
pretty sure you were fucked up before ape escape

>2005 Christmas
>Get Command and Conquer Zero Hour from my mom and dad
>It's an expansion pack to a game I don't own
>Later that day playing Half Life 2 online
>"Anon why aren't you playing your game."
>"It's an expansion pack, I need the actual game to play it."
>"UNGRATEFUL SHIT."
I got banned from my computer for two months.
Fuck you EA.
>>323094867
I don't know why, but this made me laugh.
>>323094445
You're scum and it disgusts me that I live on the same planet as you, you massive faggot.
>Played the NoX multiplayer demo. Blown away by it.
>Get NoX when I was 11ish birthday.
>Fucking nice!
>Try to install
>Doesn't work.
>Forget about it until 2015
>Download it and it works properly
tfw I missed out on all that glorious multiplayer
>>323095635
I'm pretty sure that is supposed to be a joke.
>>323094718
>be you - truth
>buy Drakengard on release day - truth
>be not autistic - ???
>>323095881
Im so triggered by the fuckin... IT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE, LIBERTY PRIME HAS NO REASON TO EXIST
FUCK
>>323094880
DELETE THIS
>>323096074
>LIBERTY PRIME HAS NO REASON TO EXIST
I think that was part of the joke. You know: jokes, often using nonsensical or absurd claims for comical effect?
>>323096276
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
>>323096553
>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.
