Well, first, I will say that I personally found some of the weapons handling in the OLD games to be a little silly. (Like, I found my suspension of disbelief being challenged when I was missing shots from one foot away, consistently.) That said, I did think that the real-time combat in F3 is...

In fact I am not thin skinned. I really don't care about that comment. I am trying to tell you why you are perceived by some, at times, as rabid and unreasonable. How about we talk about Fallout 3 iinstead, though? I'll stick around if we move on from this nonsense.

And when I first came here after my blog post, what did I see? Totally hostile, personal attacks on me along the lines of me "having Bethesda's cum on my face". Just because I posted a few random comments about liking the demo I got. And you wonder why you don't get taken seriously?

Honestly, this is all really interesting stuff, and I think totally worthy of an article (and I mean this sincerely): the relationship between a game franchise, and its avid fan base, and the responsibility (if there is one) of a developer to address that fan base. (And, ya know, like I...

Hey, I'm still here---was on a business trip all day, not deliberately avoiding the wrath of NMA folks. :) Um, I'm going to chime in on the podcast thread, which I haven't looked at but which I am sure is not a particularly happy one. :o

Hahahaha :) Wow, that's awesome. Where/when did he say that? Bastard. :D

Well I can't speak for anyone else's article. My blog post, like I said, was just random--that's not how I write in the magazine. Previews are the bane of most "game writers", to be honest. You don't want to just parrot what the devs say, because of course all they have to say is positive...

I agree that there is no real reason to trust the frothy gaming press articles if you haven't yet seen in-game footage. It has definitely been very hype-y, and I know that blog posts like mine don't really do anything except add to that. But that was just my off-the-cuff blog post-- my gut...

It's not a "smear campaign," and, to lamely invoke the old "you started it" school of argument, I am only responding in kind to some pretty negative comments made towards my website, my staff, and me personally. But hey, as I said in my previous post, I actually like this site and have lurked...

I wasn't comparing anything to anything. I was simply making an analogy in terms of ART DIRECTION from one franchise to another. It was a form of shorthand--albeit an admittedly slightly awkward one. But, see, that's the beautiful thing about some (not all!) of you guys. Every single...

You're not gonna like our new podcast (if you care to listen, which I doubt.) We directly talk about the reaction to the new game by (certain unnamed) Fallout fansites. What's "funny" is that we recorded it before I even saw this thread. Had I seen it, I probably would have quoted it...

You guys crack me up. :D
