Unless I'm wanting to debate the subtle points of how Fallout 3 undoubtedly sucks or exactly what diabolical move the "money hungry mogul" Bethesda will use to ruin Obsidian's next game, I'm not sure I'd agree that the current atmosphere is exactly... healthy.

It never cracked the top 10 in the US - Russian PC games don't often do well here. The Stalker games are the only ones I can think of that had any real success in the last few years. And the game even got Editor's Choice from Gamespy.

I've no idea what you're getting at, but I suspect you're attributing some old and useless argument to me as if I made it, which I didn't.

If you enjoy it, then yes, it is good. It's like you're trying to tell me the sky is green here. You should lighten up a little when you play games. They're meant for entertainment, you know.

Moderators moderators! He doesn't have something constructive to say! He has to shut up now! It's just different taste than you have. One that's in the vast majority of gamers. Just saying hi from over here!

But FO:BOS would have been a failure no matter the platform. Although one could argue that it wouldn't have been made at all if they hadn't decided to go console, so fair point to me. Sure. Even bigger, they greenlit the wrong ideas.

They're broken at the endgame, and they're not so broken that the game ceases to function. It's like ascending to godhood. It's fun as hell. And yes, it goes against your opinion of RPG design philosophy. You want your mind REALLY blown? It got a ton of Game of the Year awards as well.

Name another community with a set of opinions and viewpoints even remotely close to the ones on NMA. Hey, at least you guys are unique!

Vast majority of the people who played and enjoyed this game don't give a damn about any of these nitpicks.

Could Interplay really have funded full-scale development for a couple of years without selling off the Fallout license? They seemed to have been running barely on fumes in the last couple years, even with the cash from the Fallout license purchase.

Democracy is hundreds of years old, and if often takes a while to spread. Sometimes it takes repeated applications to get it to stick. Sometimes that voice of logic and reason has trouble getting through but perseveres in the end. Sometimes it doesn't.

Would FO:BOS have been better if it was on the PC? No, I hear? Right. They put their eggs into one basket - a bad game that would have been bad on any platform - and then blindly rode it until the bitter end.

Start enjoying the newest RPGs again. Figure out a way. There's a wonderful world of great games waiting for you out there if you can let go of all that bitterness and anger.

Well, or it could be because Brotherhood of Steel was a doomed project from the start. Plenty of more well-grounded publishers and developers "went console" and have done fantastically well.

The subject that's been gone over before. Maybe it keeps coming up because the voice of logic and reason jumps into this forum once in a while to see if anyone's ready yet. I've been constructively debating over dozens of posts here. If you don't see it that way, then that's unfortunate.
