This video stuff has me by the...well, I'm female, never mind. On the plus side, I finally learned all that virtualdub can really do. Thumbs up. Going to try my hand at video cameras again too.

sorophx Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I've been following J.E.Sawyer's formspring for a while, and boy there are so many stupid people out there that just have to ask a stupid question to make them look even more stupid... I mean, I always knew there were, but seeing so many in one place is just depressing. and all of them think FO3 is better than NV, for the stupidest reasons. I'm afraid Obsidian will never become a successful company, not with that kind of consumers Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I always knew there were, but seeing so many in one place is just depressing. and all of them think FO3 is better than NV, for the stupidest reasons. I'm afraid Obsidian will never become a successful company, not with that kind of consumers By all accounts FO:NV has sold extremely well. If DS3 does as well, then Obs is in good shape as far as having a reputation as a successful developer. The relationship with Sega was appears to have been a disaster, but other than that, Obs has done all rigght for itself. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up.

entrerix Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 i'm a bit skeptical about DS3's ability to succeed, not due to obsidian, but due to the fact that that IP has been little more than trash for the last ten years. I think, based on the sales of FNV, that if obsidian can get something else released of that quality, without the bug problems that new vegas had, they should be in a MUCH better position than they are now. but still, I hate to think what might have happened had new vegas been a total flop...

I agree. It's not a slamdunk success by a long shot. Hopefully, it's a modestly budgeted title and isn't expected to blow the doors off in terms of sales numbers. But if it does sell very well, it's a huge win for Obs, maybe even more so than the success of NV. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

HoonDing Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 There's so many slashers coming out this year (Kingdoms of Amalur, Hunted: Demon's Forge, Dark Souls and who knows what else) with a lot more marketing and hype behind them, that DS3 is probably going to be overlooked. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funcroc Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 J.R. Vosovic's blog: GDC Post - A Clarification Hello new followers, if you are here for 40K ramblings, welcome! If you are here re: the GDC post, I'd like to clarify a couple of things. The words I used were harsh, but also an exaggeration. At no time did I ever feel anything unreasonable was asked of me during my employment at Obsidian Entertainment. OEI was and remains to be the best company I have worked for. The Game Industry is notorious for its 'Crunch' and when I said 'FNV Crunch crushed my will to live...' it was intended as a joke and a gross exaggeration. (and an excuse as to why I didn't finish personal projects, when the truth was I just didn't feel like working on them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've had a couple of ideas kicking around in my head I'd like to offer as unsolicited advice: NV is a great game, but doesn't quite hit it out of the ballpark. As is customary, I blame the publisher for not giving Obsidian enough money/time. Specifically, the 2 problems I see are a) Too many filler quests, not enough substantial quests b) A related and thus a greater problem, the plot isn't that good. The initial stuff with Howard Hughes is interesting but then it just goes into a rival factions competition, which isn't a story as much as a device. To make matters worse, a lot of the main story quests don't really have anything to do with the story. Those should've been sidequests, while the main story quests should've actually advanced the story in a meaningful way. It seems to me with all the good writers Obsidian has they should be able to come up with a better plot, or hire a book writer for the plot if all else fails.

WorstUsernameEver Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) a) Too many filler quests, not enough substantial quests I somewhat agree. There's plenty of good quests who are marred either by a disingenuous use of the engine (making you trek through areas with a lot of loading screens) and some quests who just are too thin on content. That said, many quests were entertaining for their writing at least the first time, and the way they intertwine makes them more bearable than the usual fetch quest. But I definitely longed for meatier sidequest, a-l Edited March 31, 2011 by WorstUsernameEver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrerix Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 yes, the quests in fallout 3 are pretty poor compared to the ones in new vegas. new vegas had a multitude of quests ranging from simple to complex, whereas fallout 3 had a handful of longer quests, but they were mostly pretty flat. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

WorstUsernameEver Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 What? Fallout 3 had meatier sidequests? Pretty much the only sidequests that come to my mind are retarded Big Town/Little Lamplight quests, Moira's (the most annoying npc ever) quests and the one with some guys pretending to be vampires... I would give both quality and quantity to FNV over FO3. With the exclusion of the Big Town/Little Lamplight quest, all of the quests you cited are generally longer than the typical FO:NV quest. Granted, I prefer FO:NV's design, but I don't think Fallout 3's quests are as bad as you guys make them to be, not by any stretch. Even Vince D. Weller praised them, and there's a reason.

(note: numbers are made up) if you're saying that you wish new vegas had less quests, so that the long ones stood out better, fine, but thats not what most people wanted in a new game.

I just wished the balance was skewed in favor of more involved quests. Less quests but longer overall. I'm still pretty pleased with the game quests but I think they can still improve.

WDeranged Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) I'm playing through Fallout 3 again right now, it's pretty striking how much Bethesda give you to do, sure, a lot of it feels like pointless derpery but they really know how to fill a world with time sinks. Tell you what I really miss in New Vegas, random encounters, Fallout 3 has a silly amount of random little events that can happen pretty much anywhere, like wastelanders fighting over water, guys trying to disarm landmines, inept highwaymen, raiders playing baseball or conducting a hazing ritual.
