Luckmann Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Herve_CaenOh dear god in heaven, what an utter and complete asstard. Everything that is wrong with Fallout, from Fallout:BOS (POS) to Fallout: Bethesda Edition is directly his fault. Burn the witch!
Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Fallout would be dead and buried without Fallout: Bethesda Edition...
Luckmann Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Fallout would be dead and buried without Fallout: Bethesda Edition...You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
Mikhailian Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I am, sorta. It's still built on the framework of fo3, which I had to tweak the bajeebus out of to make tolerable. But for all of us, there will come a point where it does matter, and it's gonna be like having a miniature suit-head shoving sticks up your butt all the time. - Tigranes
Luckmann Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I thought you were all drooling over New Vegas?Only because New Vegas appears to be a step in the right direction. Fallout 3 have done irrevocable harm to Fallout in almost every department, but we can only work with what we've got. Small victories, I suppose.
Ausir Posted July 3, 2010 Author Posted July 3, 2010 Fallout would be dead and buried without Fallout: Bethesda Edition... Not really. Bethesda was the highest bidder, but not the only one. Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
Thorton_AP Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I do find it funny that people seem to get really upset that a sequel to one of their favourite games doesn't pan out, and would rather the franchise "stay dead," when functionally if they hadn't bothered to pick up the sequel (which many had already decried would not be very good anyways) it'd be exactly the same as though the sequel had not been made.

Every tr00 fallout fan knows how Fallout 3 travelled back in time and made orginal Fallouts worse. Their complaints are totally legimate.

Ausir Posted July 3, 2010 Author Posted July 3, 2010 A widely successful "sequel" that has little in common with the original makes an eventual faithful sequel even less likely than there being no sequel at all for a while.

Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I think some of you are making FO3 to be some kind of eldritch abomination that crawled out of Fallout's grave and molested all your childhoods. In truth it is a decent game and could have turned out much much worse with most other studios.

In truth it is a decent game and could have turned out much much worse with most other studios. Fallout 3 was a okay game and definately a good find from sales bin.

Volourn Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 "could have turned out much much worse with most other studios." Doubtful. FO3 is a crap game just like every other ES series game. It's also the reason why FO:LV will be the first Obsidian game I won't be buying until the price drops significantly. Bethesda is eaisly the worst ever 'successful' company I' ve ever seen. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Seeing as you live in bizarro world, this doesn't really come as a surprise. I'm sure Fallout: The Cover Based Corridor Shooter and Fallout: The Hack and Slash would have been much better. I do wonder what Bioware would have done with the license, though...
Morgoth Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I probably won't buy FO:NV either when it comes out. I'm so full of F3 and seeing that NV is basically the same with better writing I'm not keen on playing this anytime soon. Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Wow, that's pretty harsh, I thought everyone was all super hyped for it. I always go wait and see with Obsidian games, considering past... unpleasantries
Oner Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I do wonder what Bioware would have done with the license, though... The evil ancient Chinese Empire will reemerge to attack America and your (optionally vaguely messianic) character has to join the elite Brotherhood of Steel to stop them (only after all kinds of riff-raff flocks to your heroic-awesome 1/10 charisma and/or willpower, of course).Duh.

Troika was pretty close to getting Activision to get the Fallout license for them before Bethesda outbid them. And the failure to do so was one of the reasons Troika died.

Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 They would have died anyway after releasing Fallout: The Extra Buggy version. Bethesda was the only way to salvage some RPG elements while having financial success.

Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) A compelling and well thought out argument, good sir. I can't believe how bitter some people still are about the FO3 business. It's been 3 years, get over yourselves already. Edited July 3, 2010 by Purkake

It's been 3 years, get over yourselves already. Sorry, "No." was short for "No, you'd have to completely ignore the reality that there was more than one financially sound, competent, and interested party bidding for the license, in order to take up that position." I thought you'd pick up that. But for all of us, there will come a point where it does matter, and it's gonna be like having a miniature suit-head shoving sticks up your butt all the time. - Tigranes
Ausir Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) They would have died anyway after releasing Fallout: The Extra Buggy version. Bethesda was the only way to salvage some RPG elements while having financial success. Not necessarily, a fairly successful Fallout game could have saved them. Of course it wouldn't be as popular as Bethesda's, but I don't really care about it having mainstream appeal at the cost of appeal to my own tastes. And even if Troika had died afterwards, even one more Troika game would be awesome. And it's not as if Bethesda's FO3 isn't extra buggy too. As for the second part, it simply isn't true.
