Funny how I replay the originals every year or 2, and they still hold up. And are better in many respects to either of the Beth releases (story, quests, quest resolutions, characters, etc). Using the Rose-tinted glasses argument is extremely weak.
Anyone with a reasonable amount of awareness knows that Fallout 4 was a much shallower experience than any of the previous games.
Shall we also talk about how busted Beth games are even years after release. Or their crap engine, or their complete lack of care with PC versions, or their constant need to strip out stats, skills, and other core RPG elements. These are objective truths clearly visible through any lens... assuming your eyes are open that is.
