'''Fallout: Shadow of Boston''' (known in [[Japan]] as '''Shadow of Boston: Fallout Gaiden''' and often incorrectly referred to as '''Fallout 4''') is an Open World [[Deus Ex|FPS/RPG]] by [[Bethesda Softworks|Bugthesda Shitworks]], the creators of such classics as ''[[I took an arrow in the knee]]'' and ''[[Stop right there, criminal scum!]]'', that was released on November 10th, 2015. It is [[At least 100|at least the 10th]] installment in the [[Fallout]] franchise, although it is only about the 4th one to actually be released due to most of them being complete shit and never making it out of [[beta]]. While the official announcement and trailer for ''Shadow of Boston'' were released on [[Last Thursday|June 3rd, 2015]] – News about the development of the game was {{Archive|zXiIa|originally leaked}} in 2013 by [[LOL|reliable]] gaming news outlet [[Kotaku]], but [[noone]] actually believed them at the time because they're [[Bullshit|Kotaku]]. 

Before it was even released – ''Shadow of Boston'' had already become the [[Some argue|undisputed]] 3rd place finalist for 2015's Game of the Year (behind only ''[[Call of Duty]]: Black Ops III'' and ''[[Undertale]]''), the recipient of many awards and had even earned the fan nickname "[[Skyrim]] [[High Score|With Guns]]" as a testament to its amazing [[quality]]. It has also managed to catch the attention of professional [[cunt|feminist video game critic]] [[Anita Sarkeesian]] and other assorted anti-[[GamerGate]] muppets due to its depiction of [[Whores|women]] and its absurd levels of gore and [[A Clockwork Orange|ultra-violence]] (something that's been present in the series since its debut in 1997).

== Story ==

[[File:BadBoxArtMegaman.jpg|thumb|The sole survivor emerges from Vault 111 and encounters the harsh wasteland of the Commonwealth for the [[Virgin|very first time]].]]

''Shadow of Boston'' takes place in [[Detroit|Boston, after the nuclear apocalypse]] (now referred to as "The Commonwealth"), and puts [[Basement Dweller|you]] into the [[LARP|role]] of a pre-war husbando or [[waifu]] with an infant son named Shaun (whose appearance is dynamically generated!) and a [[Awesome|robot butler]] named Codsworth (who can actually say your name!). The game begins with a distinctly [[Atari|last-gen-looking]] Vault-Tec [[Spammer|salesman]] knocking on your door and making you fill out some boring forms, you then [[owned|slam the door in his face before he can even finish talking]]. Five minutes later, you go to change [[Babyfur|Shaun's diaper]] and the [[apocalypse]] suddenly begins.

You rush your family to Vault 111 (but you're forced to leave Codsworth behind because robots are second-class citizens) and you manage to get into the Vault right as the bomb goes off. It is then revealed that Vault 111 consists only of cryogenic chambers and, in order to survive the apocalypse, you'll need to be frozen along with your family. You then wake up 210 years later as "The Sole Survivor" of [[Safe Space|Vault 111]] – Your spouse has been murdered and Shaun has been kidnapped, OMG!!!!!11 After which you immediately return home, [[Kitchen|get Codsworth to make you dinner]] and then go out and [[buy a dog]]. From there, you will explore the most ambitious and bug-filled world that Bethesda has created since their 2011 smash hit, ''[[Skyrim]]''.

The rest of the game's main story will revolve around finding out [[Jews did WTC|what actually happened]] to Shaun – Although we all know that [[Madeleine McCann|you'll spend far more time doing stupid fetch quests and level grinding than you'll spend searching for your kidnapped kid]]. Assuming that you are actually looking for your son, you will eventually learn that Shaun was kidnapped by [[MIT|The Institute]] and the [[Faggots|Brotherhood of Steel]] will recruit you to find and destroy The Institute before they can spread their [[cancer]] across the Commonwealth.

It's also safe to say that you will eventually save Shaun from an evil [[German]] [[loli]] only to have him commit [[suicide]] a few hours later in order to protect a water purifier from [[Dubya]] – Since the whole game is obviously just going to be an [[Lie|enhanced]] [[Original Content|HD remake]] of ''Fallout 3''.

=== Characters ===

''Shadow of Boston'' features a colourful cast of characters and potential companions. It has also been revealed that [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|everyone in the game is bi]] and you will be able to romance your companions [[Bisexual|regardless of their gender]]. Unfortunately, Bethesda later clarified that [[Unrapeable|you won't be able to fuck]] [[Sarah Butts|the dog]] or the robot - The furries and [[Mechanophilia|mechanophilie]]s let out a massive collective [[BAWWWWW]] in response to this revelation. Here is a list of the characters that we know of thus far.

== Gameplay ==

[[File:WowMuchGraphics.jpg|thumb|Definitely not a ripoff of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.]]

[[File:FalloutGraphicsComparison.jpg|thumb|One of these is 2008's ''Fallout 3'', the other is the most overhyped "next-gen exclusive" of 2015.]]

Based on the pre-release footage of the game, it's obvious to everyone that ''Shadow of Boston'' is basically just ''[[Fallout 3]]'' with a few minor changes that are all the result of constant bitching by the same [[pussies|casuals]] who [[shit]] their pants every single time that they encountered a Feral Ghoul Reaver or Super Mutant Overlord in Broken Steel. Unlike ''Fallout 3'', which was [[good|atmospheric and dismal]], ''Shadow of Boston'' is exuberantly colourful and cheery – [[No|Exactly what you'd expect the world to be like after the apocalypse]]!

In addition, the multitude of "new features" that Bethesda have added in Shadow of Boston all seem to have been directly ripped from better and much more popular games such as ''[[Minecraft]]'', ''[[Mass Effect]]'', ''[[Postal 2]]'', ''[[Chernobyl|S.T.A.L.K.E.R.]]'', ''[[Borderlands]]'', ''[[BioShock]]'', ''[[Call of Duty]]'', ''[[Weeaboo|Tokimeki Memorial]]'' and ''[[Battletoads]]''. How very original!


'''Minecrafting!'''

:''Shadow of Boston'' will feature the amazing new ability to build settlements and make cool pixel-art out of giant blocks, Bethesda demonstrated this at E3 by showing an edited [[Megaman]] sprite made out of colored blocks. Yes, they actually [[traced]] Capcom's artwork and then displayed it in front of a packed auditorium full of mindless puppets who then cheered over this blatant act of [[art theft]] and [[copyright infringement]].

'''New Dialog System!'''

[[File:MassEffectDialog.png|thumb|Options in red are ''always'' the correct choice.]]

:Attempting to cash in on the success of games like ''Mass Effect'', Bethesda decided that ''Shadow of Boston'' should have a shitty dialog wheel with 4 extremely short and [[vag]]ue options on it. Selecting the "[[The Witcher|Shove Aside, Forcefully]]" option will, of course, always result in the player character [[FALCON PUNCH|punching]] a man [[Facepunch|in the face]] and then forcefully breaking his leg. Here's a diagram of how this shitty new dialog system works.


:[[File:FalloutDialogForDummies.png]]

'''Decent Shooting!'''

:''Fallout 3'' was notorious for being a game where you could [[WTF|shoot at a huge fucking bear from a foot away and somehow still manage to miss]]. In order to make sure that ''Shadow of Boston'' won't suffer from the same issue, Bethesda decided enlist the help of the brave [[Doom|space marines]] at ID Software to ensure that ''Shadow of Boston'''s [[Columbine|gun-play]] will [[Pepe|feel great]]. The end result is a game that's basically what ''S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'' would have been if it were set in [[Boston]] and made by a team of incompetent [[Americunt]] losers rather than a team of hardcore, whiskey-guzzling [[Ruskies|Ukrainians]].

:It's also worth noting that, back in 2011, ID Software released a beautiful FPS called ''[[Rage]]'' that featured both a post-apocalyptic setting and good gun-play. Hilariously, ''Rage'' was published by none other than Bethesda Softworks and it actually had better graphics in 2011 than ''Shadow of Boston'' does in 2015.

'''Lots of Crafting!'''

:Unlike the amazing crafting system in ''Fallout 3'' that allowed you to craft a whopping [[Srsly|8 types of weapons]], ''Shadow of Boston'' gives you access to [[At least 100|at least 50]] base weapons and [[Over 9000|over 700]] modifications for those weapons!!!11 These weapons include a baseball bat that's covered in razor blades (perfect for the [[emo]] wastelander on the go), a teddy bear launcher that causes people's heads to explode, a painfully slow laser musket that you have to [[Fap|crank]] after every single shot, a [[LOL WUT|paddle-ball]] and the "Cryolator" – An awesome ice gun that was originally cut from ''Fallout 3'' because Bethesda are [[faggots]].

:You can also modify your very own battery-powered power armour!

'''New Enemies!'''

:While the majority of the enemies and creatures in ''Shadow of Boston'' appear to just be the exact same ones from ''Fallout 3'', there are a few new ones that are worth mentioning such as the [[Terminator|Synths]] (just a kewl name for [[Randroid|androids]]), the Radioactive Batscorpion, [[Staredog|Mutant Hounds]] and the Mole Rat Behemoth – A huge [[Snakes on a Plane|motherfucking]] Mole Rat that's twice as large as pre-liposuction [[Girlvinyl]] and will likely serve as the game's [[final boss]].

:It's also been confirmed that enemies can now come in a "legendary" variety which look exactly the same as the regular variety but are overpowered bullet-sponges that will kill you in a single hit. Been wondering why that cute little Mole Rat keeps slaughtering you? It's because it's a "Legendary Mole Rat"!

'''New Gore System!'''

:In previous Fallout games you couldn't experience the [[Schadenfreude|immense joy]] that comes from dismembering your enemies while they're still alive. In ''Shadow of Boston'' it appears that you may finally be able to [[The Doom Comic|RIP AND TEAR]] your enemies' limbs from their still-breathing bodies, this basically just means that the Fallout series has finally caught up to 2004's ''Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend'' after over a decade of lagging behind. Keep up the good work, Bethesda!

{{clear}}

== The New Skills/Perks/S.P.E.C.I.A.L. System! ==

Much like they did with ''Skyrim'', Bethesda decided to further [[Budweiser|water down]] ''Shadow of Boston'' from [[Oblivion|its predecessor]] by [[DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING|completely removing skills]] and replacing them with 275 incredibly boring and stupid perks. They also removed the level-cap so you can keep playing until you're [[Godmoding]] without cheats.

Another big change is that perks are no longer tied to skills or levels, they are now tied to your [[Retarded|S.P.E.C.I.A.L.]] stats. There is a perk for each level of each stat, and most perks have multiple ranks. In an attempt to further increase the already absurd amount of hype over the game, Bethesda decided that they would release a series of [[The Fairly OddParents|cartoons]] covering each of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats and featuring Vault Boy [[South Park|dying in various horrific ways]]. Enjoy!

== The E3 Reveal! ==

[[File:FalloutFanboyReaction.jpg|thumb|How Fallout fans reacted to the E3 footage.]]

On June 14th, 2015, Bethesda held their first ever E3 press conference to showcase upcoming games such as ''Doom'', ''Dishonored 2'' and, most importantly, ''Shadow of Boston''. While the other games only got about 10 minutes dedicated to them, ''Shadow of Boston'' got 30.

If there was any doubt left that the presentation was merely a [[Jewish|marketing ploy]], it was erased when Bethesda's Todd Howard revealed the ''Shadow of Boston Pip-Boy Edition'', a collector's edition of the game that costs twice as much as the standard edition and comes with useless crap such as a poster and a tin-can that you can store your copy of the game in. But the real prize for purchasing this edition of the game was the amazing, oversized, [[Plastic Crap|plastic iPhone case]] that you can wear on your wrist. Wow!

The Pip-Boy Edition of the game sold out within mere days, giving much [[butthurt]] to those who couldn't get one in time and leading to an influx of nerds purchasing 3D printers in an attempt to make their own oversized wristwatches. It also led to some arseholes attempting to sell their Pip-Boy Edition pre-orders on [[Ebay]] for [[Jew|several times the original retail price]].

[[File:PipBoyAppleWatch.jpg|thumb|The Pip-Boy is the world's greatest smartwatch due to its [[P-P-P-Powerbook|power]] and [[Xbox|portability]].]]

Still wanting to milk the Fallout [[Jewish|cash cow]] for all it's worth, Bethesda has been releasing all kinds of expensive Fallout-related shit for pre-order ever since the E3 reveal. Let's take a look at some of Bethesda's other assorted Jewery.


'''Fallout Anthology'''

:Bethesda released the ''Fallout Anthology'', a collection of all of the previous Fallout games (only one of which was actually developed by Bethesda) for the [[PC Master Race|PC]]. They also made the decision to package the ''Fallout Anthology'' in an [[Hiroshima|atomic bomb]] that includes "audible bomb sounds" (literally just "Whoosh, Boom, [[Money|Cha-ching]]!") and an [[Anus|extra slot]] for you to stick your brand new copy of ''Shadow of Boston in after it's released.

:While this collection is only priced at $50, it takes up almost as much space in your house as that stupid ''Call of Duty: Black Ops III'' Juggernog fridge that you can stuff over three-dozen starving [[Ethiopian]] children into.


'''The Limited Edition Loot Crate'''

:Bethesda also decided to team up with Loot Crate, a company that sells monthly [[mystery]] boxes filled with cheap [[plastic crap]] from your favourite vidya games, to produce a limited edition crate full of exclusive Fallout [[swag]] that you can't get anywhere else! The only items confirmed to be in the crate so far are a Dogmeat plush (that will inevitably become a [[Fleshlight|fucktoy]] for Fallout's furfag fanboys) and a Vault 111 hoodie (which you can actually buy directly from Bethesda's website). It is currently unknown whether [[Trayvon Martin|Skittles]] are included with the hoodie.

:The price of the crate was set at $100 and it was first made available for pre-order on September 23rd, 2015. The crate sold out within hours and resulted in Loot Crate's site being completely fucked up by the amount of traffic it was getting. Loot Crate later restocked the supposedly "exclusive" and "limited edition" crate at quantities that managed to last well over a week before [[M00t's GamerGate Sellout|selling out]] again.

:'''Update''': It has been revealed that the crate contains the following crap: A Dogmeat plush, a Vault 111 hoodie, a set of ''Shadow of Boston'' pins, a Vault 111 laptop bag, a Brotherhood of Steel flag, a [[Shit nobody cares about|foam coaster set]] and 2 mini-posters – [[Bullshit|Totally worth the $100 price-tag]]!

=== Pornhub: The Last Bastion of Freedom ===

[[File:BigButtManInTightsLive.jpg|thumb|HIDDEN CAMERA SHOWS AUDIENCE TEASED BY BIG BUTT MAN IN TIGHTS LIVE]]

During 2015's QuakeCon and Gamescom conventions, Bethesda decided to make the dick move of releasing exclusive gameplay footage to attendees only. It is believed that they even went so far as to have Todd Howard personally strip search everyone who attended in order to make sure that no cameras made it in.

While the QuakeCon footage was never leaked, an awful hidden camera video of the Gamescom footage (undoubtedly the result of a camera hidden up a [[Goatse|man's anus]]) was quickly leaked and uploaded to various video sharing sites such as [[YouTube]]. This didn't last long, however, since Bethesda immediately decided to be even bigger dicks and pulled out the [[DMCA]] takedown notices. 

After a day, the only site that was still known to be hosting the footage was [[Porn]]hub. Some brilliant individual had the amazing idea to upload the footage on Pornhub under the lulzy title "HIDDEN CAMERA SHOWS AUDIENCE TEASED BY BIG BUTT MAN IN TIGHTS LIVE" in an attempt to mask the video's true nature. While this worked for a while, word of the video and its unorthodox location quickly spread across the [[internets]] and eventually alerted Bethesda. Sadly, the video ended up being removed only a few days after being posted, but not before gathering over 150,000 views and exposing countless innocent [[teenagers]] to the horrors of hardcore pornography.

[[HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS]] – The crappy footage is actually still available [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxgovPdBVB0 on YouTube] with the audio changed.

== Fallout Shelter ==

[[File:FalloutShelterIncest.jpg|thumb|Incest.]]

'''Fallout Shelter''' is a free-to-play simulation/strategy game for [[Apple|iPhone]] and [[Randroid|Android]] devices that puts you in charge as the [[God|overseer]] of your very own Vault-Tec vault. It is also the main reason that ''Shadow of Boston'' was in [[Duke Nukem Forever|development hell]] for nearly 5 years, since instead of working on the game everyone wanted, Bethesda was instead working on a shitty smartphone game that absolutely no one asked for.

Despite being a shitty game, it quickly rose to become one of the most popular games on the App Store. It also has some [[lulzy]] features, mechanics and bugs that can result in your vault dwellers engaging in incest and paedophilia.

== The SJWs Respond ==

While Bethesda was busy revealing footage of ''Shadow of Boston'' (along with ''Doom'' and ''Dishonored 2'') at their E3 2015 panel, [[USI|extremely important individuals]] such as [[Anita Sarkeesian]], [[Jonathan McIntosh]] and [[Brianna Wu]] were busy live tweeting [[Shit nobody cares about|their personal opinions]] on the horrible levels of over-the-top violence and sexism that they were witnessing in the footage. 

Yes, they were actually complaining about ''excessive violence in Doom and Fallout'', the exact same type of bitching that [[Jack Thompson]] and [[your mom]] were constantly doing back in the mid-90s.


[[File:PregnantWomenVersusDeathclaws.jpg|center]]


<center>Alright, Anita, we'll take your bait.</center>


{{quote|Or the pregnant women flee to PROTECT THE BABY FROM SAVAGE RAIDERS, MONSTER MURDER BUGS AND FIRE. If that doesn’t make sense to you, you are living in an ideological bubble on nonsense.

And have you seen a women in her third trimester? Not exactly going to be winning any fighting titles.|TT3, proving once again that Anita Sarkeesian is a complete [[fucktard]]}}


But the fun wasn't over just yet, because we all know that it isn't a party until [[Zoe Quinn|Zoe "Will swallow for good reviews!" Quinn]] crashes it! Rather than complaining about the violence, Zoe decided to take aim at something even more important – The fact that the footage of the game ''featured a man in a dress''! OMG [[LOL WUT|transmisogyny]]!

== The Survivor 2299 and other tales of reddit drama ==

[[File:TheSurvivor2299.jpg|thumb|If you have to pay nearly $1000 for a site that looks like [[Crap|this]], please [[kill]] your incompetent web designer.]]

'''[http://thesurvivor2299.com/ The Survivor 2299]''' was a [[hoax]] site created in 2013 by "DCHoaxer" – A sad, [[Forever alone|lonely]] redditor with way too much time and money on his hands.

The site featured [[Machine Code|secret code]], an ominous countdown and the Vault-Tec logo. DCHoaxer claimed that the site was his attempt at bringing the [[reddit|/r/Fallout]] community together as well as an attempt to get Bethesda to reveal Shadow of Boston at an upcoming convention – In the end it accomplished neither of these goals and merely resulted in DCHoaxer receiving numerous [[death threats]] from pissed off Fallout fans. 

DCHoaxer later stated that he had spent over $990 on the hoax, so at least we know that the site definitely wasn't part of a larger [[Jewish]] [[Illuminati|conspiracy]].

=== SandraReed ===

On June 23rd, 2014 a new user joined [[reddit]] under the name '''[https://www.reddit.com/user/SandraReed SandraReed]''' and immediately made a [[Longcat|loooooooooong]] post on r/Fallout/ where they claimed that they were the former Bethesda employee who [[I accidentally X|accidentally the Kotaku leak]] and that they had actually played ''Shadow of Boston''. They also nonchalantly stated that they were [[Butthurt|making the post as revenge]] after getting fired for their own poor decisions. I mean [[Noone|''who the fuck leaks anything to'' '''''Kotaku''''']]?

Many of the claims made in SandraReed's post have since been shown to be complete [[bullshit]], but that didn't stop [[Retards|some Fallout fans]] from believing it and further spreading these shitty rumours across the web. See [[Fallout: Shadow of Boston/SandraReed]] if you want to read SandraReed's now-deleted post in all of its [[tl;dr]] glory.

== Bethesda takes a leak ==

[[File:ShadowOfBostonLeakedScreenshot.jpg|thumb|Your [[autism]] level has increased.]]

Less than a month before the scheduled release date, Bethesda declared that ''Shadow of Boston'' had gone gold and began sending early copies of the game to a small selection of [[Cuck|video game journalists]]. As we all know here at ED, however, [[GamerGate|videogame journalists cannot be trusted]] – And as Bethesda ''should have expected'', one [[Spanish]] game journalist ended up letting his fat, smelly roommate play his copy of the game and [[Leekspin|leak]] screenshots of it onto the internet.

You can view the leaked images [http://imgur.com/gallery/Rot0g/new here]. Enjoy!

{{quote|Head's up that we're not allowing links/images/streams/videos to be shared in the forums prior to the release of the game. Folks that are currently sharing assets either have a copy they shouldn't have or are breaking terms of our NDA with them.

=== Nigga stole my Pip-Boy! ===

[[File:Sonofzuez.jpg|thumb|Badass niggas leak Game of the Year footage!]]

In a strange turn of events, numerous black men have somehow managed to get their hands on the game prior to its scheduled release date and are leaking gameplay footage onto [https://vid.me vid.me]. It is currently unknown [[Nigga stole my bike|how they got their hands on the game]] and why they all seem to be black. We are currently researching this breaking development in this story and will keep you updated as moar information becomes available.

While the [[GNAA]]'s involvement cannot be confirmed at this time, we can confirm that [https://twitter.com/sonofzuez one of the leakers] is a follower of [https://twitter.com/GaryNiger2 GaryNiger2] on [[Twitter]].

== List of boring facts confirmed by the leaks ==

[[File:ModsWillFixIt.jpg|thumb|The game is confirmed to be shit, but don't worry – Mods will fix it!]]

* The map is [[My Tiny Dick|so small]] that you can run from one end to the other in 11 minutes.
* Weapon condition has been removed.
* There is no Hardcore mode.
* There is no karma system.
* The dialog system is complete [[shit]].
* [[Above Top Secret|Aliens exist]].
* Dogmeat tends to [[9/11|fall off tall buildings]] and [[Zippocat|catch on fire]].
* The AI is shit and companions will often attempt to run up and hit enemies with the butt of their gun rather than shoot them.
* It's glitchier than ''Skyrim''.

== Automatron (the first DLC),survival mode, and console mods ==

[[File:SexyCodsworth.jpg|thumb|The new and improved sexy Codsworth.]]

Now you can get your very own robot. Oh, [http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5787/? you already could without paying out the nose for it?] Great thinking Bethesda. And in yet another brilliant move, if you were a member of the PC Master Race, and had enabled mods, ahahaha go fuck yourself. Now you need to [http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11479/? redo that again], you dumb idiot. 

The DLC is not the interesting part. It is instead a retread from Fallout: New Vegas, the hardcore system. Also [http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10399/? found in this mod]. Saved you 10 bucks. It makes the game even more tedious, by now you have to eat and drink constantly. And all the enemies are now even more bulletsponges. Enjoy shooting a raider 300 times in the head.

The Xbox one version of the game now has mods, which made [[PC Master Race|The Pc Master Race]] [[Triggered]] because they have one less bragging point now. however, the console mod section doesn't allow [[Porn|nude mods]] or [[Terrorist|Allahu Ackbar]] sound mods for the suicide bomber super mutant.

|Reminder to all users to respect others' experiences.

This is a sight gag with a hateful history. If you don't share any concern over it, consider listening and understanding foremost. If you disagree, don't feel compelled to tell us why it doesn't matter. We're all aware of how that argument goes as it dominates everywhere else.|A GamerGhazi mod reminds users that differing opinions on the man in a dress are [[b&]]

|This game doesn't allow your character to identify as another gender, ban it!

This game allows your character to dress in the opposite gender's clothing, ban it!|panzerkampfwagen, on SJW logic
