You're not implying that the cesspool of the Fallout franchise fanbase are the original fans of the games?
I mean, if they're just people spouting "ONLY FALLOUT 1 AND 2 WERE GOOD. FALLOUT 3 AND NV SUCK" then fair enough, but if they're giving actual criticism of the games in comparison to Fallout 1 and 2, then that's fair.
I'd say the worse Fallout fans are the ones who seriously think Fallout 3 and 4 are the best games in the series, are superior to the originals and NV. The fans that actually like the fact Fallout 4 has no RPG elements besides a level up system, the people who believe that the new "Dialogue Wheel" is good in Fallout 4, the people who think the story in Fallout 3 was good.
I dunno, I guess what you said kinda irked me because I could be part of the NMA group and trust me, there are worse fans in Fallout than those guys that prefer the originals.
Nah man. I figure we're all entitled to our perspectives. I've seen New Vegas get a lot of love on NMA actually. I have to agree that I'm not happy with the direction 4 took in comparison to 3 and NV, but I'm still going to play the heck out of it unless I feel mentally disgusted by the prospect just like I did with 3 and NV. I never did get very far into 1, and its never alright to look up a guide on a first playthrough through an rpg in my book so my journey there ended with a lot of me being killed by radscorpions and trying to interrogate the Indian guy. XD
The thing that I was saying is that there are a few people that have given NMA a bad reputation who don't represent the place as a whole, and its generally full of swell folks who have their reasons for their views that I can respect and don't generally go out of their way to do the superior routine about the old games. Its all about the fun, no? I feel the perspective of there being a "worst" fan is kind of dangerous. The series is divided enough as is.
