Maria Caliban Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 You mean real life is open for abuse? If you practice something over and over, you're bound to get better.. I'd suggest that in real life, there's a limit to how much better you can get. Also, if you train daily with a skill, become great with it, and then train daily in a second skill, you'll lose a certain amount of ability with the first skill. "When is this out.

metadigital Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Also, memory deteriorates in a reverse-exponential / asymptotic degeneration, so key plot factors could be forgotten ..!

Also, some things just aren't learned or improved through repetition but by experimentation, intuition or observation - or a combination of those. A boxeur will not be able to best his opponents by training the same way every single day - new moves, new ways to block or dodge and so on require he learn new things that he can incorporate into his training.

Fenghuang Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I was hoping Bioware or Obsidian would end up with Fallout. Bethesda has never made a smart and funny game like Fallout and I am sure they will fail. The nooby scores big points. Unfortunately DR Points have depreciated in value greatly in recent months. The Fallouts, while good games for their time and still fun to play, were never the godlike things you've all put on a pedestal. BIS and Interplay are dead, Beth has the rights to an all but dead franchise and it's more than likely they're going to reinvent it. Be glad you're getting anything. RIP

metadigital Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 And in that, you are alone. But, fortunately, you may just pretend that there isn't any Fallout apart from the one(s) you like. See?

Sand Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I rather live in the harsh uncaring reality that wants to chew you up then spit you out. Much more cheery than my fantasies.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 And in that, you are alone. I'm sure he's not, actually: witness the similar comments from the more hardcore Fallout fanatics. A niche within a niche, eh. And while I certainly don't share his opinion, I personally don't care much for Fallout at this point. I very much enjoyed the first game, had some fun with the second but have moved on. There were only two games I could ever consider to be its successor, and one of them - Van Buren - got canned. This isn't to say I won't foam a bit at the mouth when I get my hands on Bethesda's take on the series, but I'm mostly uncaring about the next Fallout. It's not a "I don't want a new Fallout", it's a "I don't care about a new Fallout". The game's context is wasted on today's market and gamers.
Sand Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 You make a good point, RP. I just think that Bethesda would have been better served to make their own PA CRPG than try to make Fallout relevant in today's gaming market.

Jorian Drake Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I rather have no Fallout than a bad Fallout. I rather have ANY Fallout than a dead Fallout. Because even if Fallout 3 might not go the right way, Bethesda has enough enthusianism and money (also paid a lot for the name) to make Fallout 4 what would have none/less of the failures of the predecessor.
Xard Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 The game's context is wasted on today's market and gamers. Now now, let's not be elitists Fallouts are godlike Fenghuang, first one too. And I don't have "fanboy points" like many others have. Oh, and some weeks ago was the very first time when I played F1. I'm in The Hub currently (other gaming makes progressing bit slow). How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)

Tale Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I like you guys, you're silly. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
kumquatq3 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 So people would rather have a game that sucks and carries the name "Fallout" to try and sell a few extra copies than no Fallout? So you guys are all for games like FO:BOS? The question isn't asking if I think Beth or Iply has the right to make such games, just what I would prefer. I think the only rational answer for a FO fan is to say I rather have no FO than a bad FO.
Pop Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) I disagree with all these agreements. Fallout is not a mormon girl, Fallout is a game. Fallout does not need to be protected from the big bad world. Fallout does not have an "honor" that needs to be protected. If Fallout wants to shack up with bland, dim Bethesda and pop out a few middling sequels, that does not make Fallout any less of a great game, or a great franchise. We shouldn't hate on Fallout for that just as we shouldn't hate on Fallout for converting to judaism, or dating a black man. *edit - <3 Edited April 17, 2007 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Tale Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I think bad games in the Fallout franchise would make Fallout less a great franchise. Though Fallout and Fallout 2 would not be diminished. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

kumquatq3 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I think bad games in the Fallout franchise would make Fallout less a great franchise. Though Fallout and Fallout 2 would not be diminished. Yep. Clearly our little Mormon girl didn't understand how to franchise herself properly. There is no real argument here. There is little reason not to agree with the line "I rather have no FO then a bad one" if you're a FO fan and you want to see a FO4-5-6 after a FO3. Or hell, if your a fan of PC RPGs period. I mean, who really wants a bad RPG? I think people are just having problems coming to terms with Doomy (Sand for you with short memories) being right.
