What is Fallout? Screw Fallout, it's just the name of a dead franchise. If I were you, I'd be more open-minded and give it a try, perhaps viewing it more as a Bethesda game than as a 'Fallout game'. Indeed, if I were you, and like Bethesda games, I'd probably get Fallout 3. Only I'm not, and I don't, so I won't. My point still remains, though

You bought DOA Xtreme Volleyball for the Xtreme Volleyball, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU? :ph34r:

I don't want Bethesda to do Fallout 3, but if it's Planescape 2 then that's ok. This could be grreat

You're asking the wrong crowd, though. By frequenting a gaming forum, we're relatively well-informed about our games. I wouldn't be surprised if such tactics did work on the casual crowd. It's being used as a marketing tactic for a reason after all.

Hopefully a good company like Bethesda will pick it up.

you know, they MIGHT just hit a home run with it. nobody thought BioWare could create a true SW CRPG but they did. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They might, but I don't care enough about Fallout to care about Bethesda. None of the Fallout games would even make my top 10. Not enough incentive to invest into a Bethesda RPG. I wouldn't trust Peter Molyneux to make Fallout 3 either, no matter how the industry or other gamers would praise it. Different tastes. I have enough games to look forward to not need to be worked up about one from a company whose games I don't enjoy. I'd say that's fair enough. Jagged Alliance 3 doesn't mean much at this point, either.

The thing is, it wouldn't matter if the game was "good". Morrowind is "good". Oblivion will be "good" and win RPG of the Year from every magazine and website out there. Fallout 3 *will* probably be "good" too. But that doesn't mean much in this day and age. Hey, most people may like it, just not my type of games. I didn't like Morrowind. To the point where that's pretty much the last Bethesda RPG product I'll ever buy. They may or may not make good games depending on who you ask, but I'm staying away from their RPGs. Fallout 3 will not be missed by me, just mocked relentlessly.

In conclusion, I believe Star Trek games may either be very good or very very bad.

Yay, it's gang up on Hades day!

At the end of the day, despite all the baiting about F3 and Bethesda, I don't really care. Yay, Bethesda make RPGs. So does Lionhead, so does GasPowered. I'm not going to buy Fallout 3, just like I'm not going to buy Oblivion or Fable 2 or Dungeon Siege 3. Ohnoz I'm missing out on the best game ever. Morrowind was the best game ever, so was Fable, so was DS1/2. Boohoo.

Indeed. This thread is for Bethesda love only No flames please

Bethesda dorkfaces will buy whatever Bethesda churns out in the millions. The game's quality is irrelevant. Money money

I love money. Money is important. Fallout3 will break sales records! Bethesda

No. Maybe for YOU

Fallout 3 will a quality game

"The Baldur's Gate series: Baldur's Gate I, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal have sold approximately 5 million units world-wide with sales still continuing" "Baldur's Gate, released in 1998 has sold over 2 million units" "Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, a Baldur's Gate expansion pack. It debuted at #1 worldwide and sold over 600,000 units" "Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, was released in Sept. 2000 and continued the award winning story line of the Baldur's Gate series, selling over 2 million units so far" "Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal was released, the expansion pack to the award winning Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and the conclusion to the Baldur's Gate series, selling more than 500,000 units" There we go. "Shattered Steel has sold close to 200,000 units" "All together, the various SKUs of the MDK2 series sold over 1 million units" "Neverwinter Nights and its two expansions have sold close to 3 million copies worldwide so far" [KOTOR] "has sold over 2.5 million copies to date"

In conclusion, I feel that replaying games that are worth replaying a worthy hobby.

Did we just derail a perfectly good thread?

He wasn't. No one wants to ever see Drizzt ever again. EVER.

Too bad they're not publishing the Shadowrun 360 shooter game. ... Or are they?

Are you both flirting with me?

LOL NWN2 doesn't involve the same protagonist as 1, it should be called Mere of Dead Men ROFLASFKASJFSAFAS

Yeah, BG was their second title. Probably made the million mark. Though it's hard to say, since they usually quote the series as a whole. Obs already made the million on their first title, which is pretty good. Sure, it's the SW franchise, but Bio has always had franchises to back them up for their best-selling series as well. JE only sold around 500,000 on last count - which is pretty good, but just shows how much more the franchises themselves sell.

I know you are, but what am I?
