As honored as I am to have 4too stick up for me, I didn't post on DAC at all because I couldn't get my account activated. (thanks KoC) Not that it makes Undone any less of a coward.
I guess it's time to address some points even if undone1 has taken his ball to go play at QT3 or whatever other cesspit he slimed out of:
And may I ask a question? Is the objective to make Fallout 3 a failure or is it to convince Bethesda that they should listen to you and make the game as you dictate? That article will only serve to have them turn their backs on you and alienate any fanboys they have. A more diplomatic approach would go far to winning over more numbers to your side.
Neither. The goal of the article was to make people aware of Bethesda's bullshit and to not fall so easily for their hype machine. I myself bought a copy of Oblivion, and I still regret it. The difference between the gameworld in the Pocket Guide and the game I actually bought was a tremendous dissapointment.
The purpose isn't to win over fanboys, either. Fanboys by their very nature are impossible to reason with. Just take a look at some of the comments in the Digg article.
Its not really that they dont want it, but back than when they where 13-15 years old gaming was everything to them and thats when fallout was released and they remember the great times they had.
Everything new feels like shit moslty cause they gotten older and dont really like gaming anymore, once in a while they start replaying fallout 2 and quit after couple of hours but it gives them sentimental value, than they go to these forums and rant at all the new games.
This is a sentiment that's so tremendously wrong I can't even begin to fathom it. You realise that if people were 13-15 when they first played Fallout that chances are they wouldn't have these "real life" concerns that would make gaming less appealing to them? I'm 21 and I still love gaming. I care about gaming the same way other men care about cars.
I loved Guitar Hero, Okami, Europa Universalis 3, and Medieval 2. I think its fair to say that I still love games, and that it has no bearing on my opinion that RPGs have been nothing but shit since Bloodlines.
Just take a look at the excitement over AoD.
That said, there's also no real cause to be angry towards 13-15 year olds today that love shit games, because the unfortunate fact of the matter is that they have nothing to play but shit. RPG-wise, anyways.
To what purpose? Why waste my time on them? Why should I care if they win or lose? And what if I end up liking the game and want another. What if it turns out to be good? Then I have to eat my words. No thanks, I don't go out of my way just to fuck with someone, if they make a bad game, I won't have to. They will do it to themselves.
They've been making bad games continually since Battlespire, the only problem is that nobody wants to call their bullshit outside of fan communities. They continually produce shit games with their logo all over the sticker, but in-house titles are continual blockbusters, I wonder why?
If you don't care whether Bethesda makes a proper Fallout game or not, then I guess you just don't care about Fallout. I'd say you shouldn't be posting here then, but I guess I was too late for the party.
Newsflash: We tried it already.
