One thing I have to say here, I haven't felt unwelcomed at any point of me being ((ofcourse, it could be just a delayed affect, however I doubt it)). I'm also pretty sure that whoever got called an idiot deserved it on some level. Knowing my luck, his definition of intelligence includes people who are l33t h4x0r {yl83r l\l1l\lJ4's.....crap I just proved him right by insulting him >_<. Also, isn't it allitle presumptious that Fallout <I>doesn't</I> need Roshambo and Saint? I mean really, last I checked no one's clairvoyance abilities were that great....and if someone does have great abilities in this area, don't feel offended, cause you saw that coming, right?mike wrote: Fallout doesn't need people like this as its Harbingers of Glory... they belittle those who are new because they don't know... they insult those who try to debate intelligently because it is easier to flame then it is to discuss with care and thought.
I read posts from people who make intelligent posts and then have to suffer through a multitude of sheep who bleat the same tired old platitudes... they don't think... they perform kneejerk reactions... all this because of one game that isn't even advanced enough to have more than 6 screenshots and a basic story perameter. And to anyone who tells me... "you don't have to read them"... you are right... but I want to follow the thread so I can be informed and post something informed.
I don't think the word "ashamed" is applicable here. They obviousily aren't showing much remorse for completely ignoring the fanbase.mike wrote: Maybe Interplay should be ashamed for ignoring the Fallout fanbase...
The so what is that their ruining not only their fanbases' faith in Fallout, but the product in general. I believe a decision that would allow survival and popularity would be called a ::scoff:: compromise. Lastly, perhaps if they didn't make quick pieces of trash and listened to their fan's, they might not have this problem.mike wrote: but so what... they are a company... they make decisions tha aren't popular but it is all about survival... if they had scads of cash... they could make games because it appealed to them in more than a financial manner.
They seem quite content on killing one of my favorite past-times, so sure why not?mike wrote: But they don't... everyone is quite happy wishing them to burn and crash and die...
I believe it was damned when decisions like BOS were made.mike wrote: and damn the thought that another proper Fallout title might be made...
I really haven't seen much to the contrary and it's not like Interplay has REALLY said anything outside of one email which the Interplay WEBMASTER sent me, so really, it kinda leaves me inclined to believe my own research as well as Saint's and Roshambo's over any sort of marketing scheme/optimist's wish for the real argument to go away.mike wrote: at least we the loyal fans got to *beep* on the giant as it goes down... all you 'fans' who did this... thank the Saint and Roshambo for twisting the perspective of reality with their half truths, innuendoes and intimidation.
And so I bid you adieu and remember, we hate you almost as much as Interplay does =D, wether you know it or not Mike.
