It's a shame you guys had to resort to that to get in, still, whatever gets the job done. Nice write-up - comprehensive and objective. It was pretty refreshing (and enlightening) to see something that wasn't just the hype machine in action. Overall I found it to be a fair treatment of the...

I'm not about to be drawn into another waste of time, but I'd like to point out that what I said kind of amounts to if that's what they want, they can call it whatever they want. I've got my opinions and they've got theirs. Good day to you.

I've just edited the post to (hopefully) better reflect my point here. If I was aware that we were interested in discussing objectivity, there would have been no argument whatsoever, as from what I can see I pretty much agree on this. It was the juxtaposition of this objectivity against my...

When you tell someone than their opinion "misses the point", and respond with this objectivity, I think it should be pretty obvious how they would manage to assume that what you're pushing is some sort of opinion. The alternative to making this assumption would be to think that you are attacking...

No, I don't think I am. How is me saying "what you are sharing does not relate to my opinion, why when I share my opinion do you keep saying it?" equating them? It's the exact opposite, surely? When I share my opinion, and you tell me repeatedly that I have "missed the point", then talk about...

No, the implication would be that it matters less than something else, not "not at all". This should be clear. If I preface something I say with "this is my opinion", and I am careful not to present it as maintaining any degree of objectivity which is guided by anything other than my personal...

Perhaps true, but I've already pointed out that I don't particularly like the "Fallout 3" thing myself. I don't run Bethesda's marketing department though, and for that reason there's little I can do about it, so it seems odd that the rage over this complaint is directed toward me, as I'm not...

As far as I can tell, that's what it boils down to, but it would seem now that my opinion is unacceptable as it is at once both insulting and ridiculous. This certainly helps me understand why this has been such a protracted issue, but does little in providing a way that it could be resolved...

Ridiculous, perhaps by your definition, yes, but I'm happy to live with my opinion being ridiculous in your eyes. I won't extend the same judgement to your opinion however, as that would be somewhat impolite. Insulting? I don't really see the scope for that one at all. If you genuinely feel...

I think the reason for this confusion is that you continue to restate what you think is "worthy" in response to what I say that I would "enjoy". If you are not attempting to attack my statement of what I would enjoy, by swearing at me and telling me that I'm missing the point when I say it, what...

True enough, and definitely a valid complaint. I don't tend to refer to it as Fallout 3 because I'm not convinced on that front at all either. But what this boils down to is a gripe against a deliberate marketing move from Bethesda, and doesn't really relate to the arguing with people over what...

This is what I'm saying. If there were people around who wanted one, good for them, I hope enjoy it, but it's definitely not for me, and I will take no part in it. At the same time I'm certainly not about to declare war on them and attempt to prove to them that they don't actually want a Fallout...

If there is anyone on the planet who actually would enjoy a Fallout Football game, who am I to tell them that they're not allowed to? It's absolute lunacy from where I stand of course, and I wouldn't call it a worthy addition to the Fallout line, but that's what I'm driving at, I don't imagine...

I'd agree on this, and that's why I've never said that I expect the new one to live up to the standard set by the old one. All I'm saying is that I hope for something that's halfways enjoyable and has some of the vibe left in-tact. That's not enough for everyone and I can understand that, but...

I'd say that's a fair observation to make, yes I'm hesitant to call it a "worthy" sequel, but I've already said as much; I'm waiting till I know enough to make up my mind, and that'll be when I play it, but at this stage I am attempting to be optimistic. I'm open to the idea of a "worthy"...

I have read that, yes, and I still fail to see its relevance. What I've posted and said was that I am looking forward to what I hope will be a good Fallout game that I will enjoy at least partially as much as I enjoyed the earlier ones. I can assure that when I purchased Fallout, I guess about a...

Yes I did, and if you read my post perhaps you would see reference to these. Similarly, you may have noticed the bit where I explained why I was posting. Perhaps, in particular, some attention should be paid to: a) the part where I responded to a specific post; and b) the part where I respond...

If my first post reads as me requesting that people change, then I fear I have been misunderstood. Like I was saying, my only goal was to try to explain how I felt when visiting this site, and perhaps some of the other "plants" too. I realise that the community is very well established and...

Plant #27 reporting for duty. No seriously though, I've been reading for a while and it's all getting to be a bit much for me. I find myself here constantly in monitoring news on the new Fallout title; everywhere else links back to NMA, and that's no doubt because of the thorough (obsessive...
