I guess the question now is: with the internet changing culture so much, is internet revisionism going to end up changing the actual opinions of the mainstream?

Cause I can say with 100% confidence Fallout New Vegas was NOT the most beloved Fallout game, that was Fallout 3.

Honestly if we talk about the mainstream alone than I have no doubt the most beloved Fallout game was actually 4.

The divisiveness of the that game only exists in the hardcore bubble I highly suspect. Outside that it was reviewed positively and did ridiculous sales numbers.

Hm, I'd disagree there. I think Fallout 3 gets a credit for being people's first Western RPG that, oddly enough, games like Oblivion don't really get anymore (probably because it was replaced so quickly by a "mainline" game and sold slightly less). Fallout 4's critic reviews are quite a bit lower than Fallout 3's too, and I think that Fallout 4 was one of the first times where the casual fanbase actually complained about "casualization" in a mainstream game. 

Then again, casual fans are still fans and not just casuals in general. In that respect it's a hard comparison anyways, Fallout 4 sold so much and it's audience is so expanded compared to 3's!
