(A blog post for hardcore Fallout fans by a hardcore Fallout fan)
This is a collection of rage that has been building up for some time and I just had to get it of my shoulders:|
Now if anyone on the Fallout 3 dev team reads this I'm sorry (kinda), I know you people work hard to make good games and so you might belive your games are the best in the world and I can't blame you for that. you've used countless hours making and fine tuning your games, but as far as I'm concerned Oblivion was a piece of glorified crap.
Now after a game like Oblivion which I personally don't like, it's hard to imagine BethSoft making a good fallout game and not some glorified **** that caters to the mainstream gamers that at occasions seem like a bunch of graphics whores that don't give a damn about the depth, story, re-playability etc. of a game aslong as it has great graphics.
Fallout fans have been pissed on by Interplay and people that don't know a great game when they see one too many times, and here we are waiting to see if Bethsoft cares about the Fallout fans or if they're just going to piss on use like so many other have in the past.
Fallout died after Fallout 2.... well to be fair Tactics was okay, but okay isn't good enough for a fallout game and don't get me started on Brotherhood of steel for the Xbox and PS2, that game was a real piece of **** It actually in comparison makes Oblivion look like the god of RPGs. And yes I know BoS (PoS) was an action game and not an rpg, but that only adds to the crappyness and none falloutness of the abomination that is BoS.
And as I type this Interplay is trying to fund another game that most likely will not only piss on the fallout fanbase, but screw the entire Fallout IP and really their short name for it says it all: FOOL, yea that's what they're calling the Fallout MMO.... FOOL.
To wrap this up I'll say that I don't belive Bethesda has what it takes to make a good Fallout game, but I sincerely hope they do make an awesome Fallout game and I wish the Fallout 3 dev team the best of luck :)
