the game is being worked on by the same people who made the original fallout games.

Yeah? Well I loved Fallout 3 the most, so that point is void.

you loved Fallout 3 the most? eeewww....

Seconded. Fallout 3 didn't even deserve to carry the Fallout name. On a side note, it's not really made by the exact same people, just some of the people that were involved in Fallout are in Obsidian now.

It sure is, my friend. But still, why should it matter if people prefer Fallout 3 to Fallout 1 or 2?

[QUOTE="gmc2u_64"]

See, THIS is why I don't trust Obsidian with Fallout NV. They ALWAYS screw up something critical in one way or another in their games. I HOPE that they clean up their act before Fallout NV releases.

CaseyWegner

the game is being worked on by the same people who made the original fallout games.

So it will have glitches and bugs everywhere? God...I hope not. Fallout 1 and 2 were some of my favorites games, but sometimes the bugs and glitches make me want to tear my monitor out and slam the game disks with it. It was like god-send when I found out about the mods that fixed up everything wrong about the game and added back in all the stuff they had taken out of the vanilla version.

Who cares? They can always be patched, or the community can fix it up. Look at Vampire The Masquarade or Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl. Two of the most engaging games i have ever played, some of my favourites.They were both released unpolished with a lot of bugs.

Why would people not care? It's an inconvenience. Why should we have to fix up the stupid mistakes that developers made? I'm hoping New Vegas rises to the occasion, but if it doesn't, they don't get a free ride from criticism. It can always be patched, but doesn't mean it will. How many games really get the majority of their issues patched? Not very many.

Their games are great, but they're so damn unpolished and buggy that they do a fairly good job dragging the entire game down. I just wish there was an actual review to read right now.

[QUOTE="Ginosaji"]

The fact they praised the game for its "astounding intricacies" suggests the game is great where it really counts for an RPG. GameSpot tends to score too harshly when graphics don't meet their standards. And in all likelihood many of the bugs they're referring to will be quickly patched (in fact it's almost a guarantee for the PC version -- if nothing else, the community will take care of it).

[QUOTE="gmc2u_64"] Yeah? Well I loved Fallout 3 the most, so that point is void.gmc2u_64

Well you have bad taste in RPGs, so your opinion is void. :lol:

Piss off. I don't question YOUR tastes, so what right do you have to question MINE?

Just ignore him, I don't see why some PC gamers can be so elitist in regard to taste in video games.

They are indeed,but that never stopped me from loving their games. I feel I will enjoy AP as well.

And yes,I wish to see the review as well,maybe that 6 is just a glitch like yesterday´s 7 to modnation.

Feel free to question my tastes to your hearts content. If you trash talk games like Deus Ex, Planescape: Torment and Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines, you'll only be further proving how bad your tastes are.

But, that all goes towards personal preference. I didn't like Deus Ex and I loved Modern Warfare 2. You want to say my taste in games are bad? Go ahead.

I seriously doubt it's worse than Splinter Cell Conviction, one of the most shallow games I've played this year. The funny thing is AP already got 3 AA scores. If the problem is only low production values and the lack of hype, than I'll buy it. ;)

I accept your difference of opinion; I just don't agree with it, and so I'm stating my opinion. That's all. No need to get all butt-hurt about it and tell me to piss off.

Disagreeing respectfully would be something like, "I prefer Fallout, but it's cool that you like the series." You said that my tastes are bad, which is a personal insult.

Is this judging from the review score (with no review to go along with it), or your actual experience with the game? Either way I don't think you're qualified to make that assessment.

it was an assumption based on the wording used on the page. You knwo the tagline for the review. I'm sure the review will go into further detail. I do like how you're getting defensive for a game you also haven't played. :)

They have glitchy and unpolished in there bloodline though :P Talented to say the least, but this time they took glitchy and unpolished to a new low. Usually they have games that make up for the sloppyness. This one didn't.

Hmm,I don´t know,so many people trashed NWN2 upon release for having massive bugs and broken quests but with some well placed patches it all goes away;) And I love that game.

AP seems to suffer from the same problems but in a bigger scale,but as far as I´ve heard,the story is very good and that alone makes me interested. And of course,patches will come so it´s not a big deal,for me at least.

You know,I´m known among my group of friends to love games that many others hate and that have bad/average scores so it´s not unfamiliar territory to me:P
