You guys really are nothing but a load of complainers, are you?

I enjoyed FOT when I didn't think of it as a connection to Fallout. The only thing that really pissed me off was how dead robots were solid objects after the patch. The last half of the game was rendered unplayable.

Combat was ok. Nothing to write home about. The rest was either mediocre to kinda crappy. The best thing about it was the graphics.

Well honestly what do you expect? In their eyes, it's "us vs. them". I think it must suck to be any type of corporation, and view your clients as your enemies.

Fuck you. Sure, I complain like a 70-year-old man, but I do a lot of shit too. I don't just spectate and go, "this sucks here's why lol."

Amen, but at least FoT wont be as worse as FO:PoS.

I dunno if the Gamespy dude is doing it consciously, but regardless, Interplay people have very good spin control and psychological tactics, such that even Gamespy dude says what they want him to say whether he knows it or not, and it may be enough to warp many fragile innocent minds.

Interplay may not have any common sense, and may be evil evil people, BUT
they know how to manipulate their new target audience, however imaginary the audience may be and however damaging it could be for the future.

What I mean is, consider:
clearly PoS is intended for testosterone raged youths. not only that, but DUMB testosterone raged youths. I don't need to elaborate further as Interplay will provide the evidence to incriminate themselves.

Now, look at this Gamespy post. He manipulates his audience, casting the corporation as the victim, seeking sympathy from his audience in a kind of moral appeal. People so easily affected by this crap clearly 1] r dumasses or young 2] don't know the whole story. Whoever could these people be??

Interplay's new audience, young teenagers who r also dumb, will fall easily for this reasoning: that Fallout fans are a bunch of stuck up pricks, that Fallout fans did a terrible thing to Interplay in the past (a past which these dumasses will not know of), that here is Interplay trying to bring us a wonderful new game, to get fukin testosterone raged excited about, and these snivelling fans are ruining it for everyone. How dare they?

..And so it begins. Radiating hatred and angst and energy, mindlessly spent by those who know no better. Polar alignment of us vs them divided between old skool and dumass. Between those who were there and those who are merely impressionable.

This is all assuming, of course, that interplay's new savior audience really does exist. Young teenagers who r also, very dumb.

it's too bad. I weep for the future

Wranglers...cowboys that drive a mass market demograsphic herd....

FO:T was fun for the first few fights, but then when you get to attack the raiders or w/e with the tank or jeep I don't remember it gets fuckin boring. The fights last like an hour. God, like I have an hour to spend moving around dumbasses just to get to the boss who'll talk to you so you have somekind of an RPG feeling.

Wow the more I think about this game the more I think it was god damn crap. Everything is superficial : shiny graphics, LOTS of useless guns, useless races like dogs and ghouls in multiplayer.

omfg how did they come up with 89% for this game, I'd give it 30-40.
It was just a big fat disappointment.

And to whoever said we were a bunch of complainers, well fuck you, you are stupid and you're the kind of people companies like Interplay or Microsoft makes money of.

I wasn't a "harcor FO fan" when I got FOT, and I still hated it. Not because the deathclaws had fur, and it fucked up the continuity of the series, but because it was shit.

Franz Schubert · Post by **Franz Schubert** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 2:56 pm

Gamespy just feels they need to do something to counter balance the backlash against that game, which is why they give it ridiculous ratings like 89%

Expect to see "signature Fallout series gritty, adult humor" and "remains true to its heritage while bringing it to a new audience", etc. The fucking sad part is that those two quotes will be in their review, albeit maybe changed a bit.

Duck and Cover
