Heh, when I saw the article of this on ign most of the comments (right behind "Noooo! More TES not Fallout!" idiots who didn't actually read the article) were about how Obsidian was gonna screw up Bethesda's awesome game, which I frankly thought was hilarious. Just a little bit of turnabout...

This is, to me, like suggesting a hybrid of cheddar and American cheese.

Or, hey, howsabout some sort of actual hybrid game that employed a first person perspective but kept turn-based combat? For a long time that was what I hoped that BS was going to try to do with Fallout 3...mix the best of TES with the best of the first two Fallouts (or, at least, what I...

Oi....this "review" is basically the journalistic equivalent of a "FIRST!" post.

So what did he mean, exactly? Let's do a little experiment--here's Mr. Howard's statement once again; "The game it's closest to is Oblivion. So now when someone asks, 'Is it Oblivion with guns?' my main answer is, 'in all the best ways.'" Now, in normal conversation when answering a...

Ok, I'll say it...bullshit. They (and by they I mean not just Bethesda, but nearly every source covering them) are trying very, very hard to convince me about what I do and don't want. I mean, I was fairly sure I wanted turn based combat, but everyone has been telling me that I don't...

Heh, nice. How brave of them! No matter how many people throw the nasty slur at them they will persevere!

You clearly have europe and japan mixed up severely. I suggest you employ a map.

Well, the thing is, the bureaucracy itself isn't evil. That's the insidious nature of it. Individuals perform actions that are, taken separately, not that evil--a man purchases train cars to carry people to death camps, for example--that then together add up to something monumentally...

There is a big difference between hating an army and hating the soldiers in that army. I hate the war, not the warrior. The simple fact is, the world would be a better place if everyone just stopped killing each other. I know that it's not going to happen overnight--I'm convinced, in...

I agree wholeheartedly that Brazil is a great film. It is, in fact, probably my favorite. I also agree that it clearly owes much of its genesis to 1984--the number of similarities pointed out in the previous post suggest the connection well (I'd make the addition of the importance of dream...

I didn't say that he hadn't spammed. In fact, given his general demeanor, I suspect he has; but that doesn't mean it's ok to do so in return. If indeed he is such a useless idiot that no one will ever listen to, then simply ignore him, or just ban him already and get it over with. There...

Wow. This is a very sad excuse for a discussion. It may not be a standard form of argument (most, I expect, are a lot like the one man of you have participated in here), but I think it probably works best when people listen to the opposing side's position, then try and disprove the basis...

If I may interject, I believe he was referring to how the Valve devs, at that point, were actually still fans themselves. They knew what people wanted, because they were some of the people who wanted it. I think that's what he meant, anyway.

The question of whether or not this game will be any good is, to me, rather moot. I do not plan to purchase any games from Interplay after this debacle. If it is necissary to actually experience a thing to fairly judge it, then I will never be able to fairly judge FO:BOS.
