I thought about going ahead and ask him how many writers/designers are usually required for a game like Wasteland 2, but I didn't want to pry. 12 sounds like a lot to me, but I really have no idea.

Pledged $75. Even if I don't doubt the goal will be met, I wonder if it's going to take as much steam as DF Adventure. Point'n clicks may be confidential, but turn-based, party-based, top down RPG with loads of texts does sound really obscure.

That's a very interesting read. I can't wait for the full review. While the game is a C+ for me, I agree that Fallout 3 represents quite a few steps in the right direction for Bethesda. Let's hope they will be able to focus on the good things and cut the crap out for their future titles.

Hehe. No. CanardPC is no big time paper and they are generally pissed by the gaming industry. These guys are full of vitriol that's all. He had 5 luck. He did not mean that there's no random encounters, just that he didn't see one. Either his character did not trigger any, or they are so...

In any case, I don't know how much Bethesda care about the preview of some marginal French magazine, but something tells me they won't be invited for TES5 preview sessions.

Bullseye.

The funny thing is that the game does not sound intrinsically bad. The core gameplay seems pretty alright for a shooter w/ rpg elements, but Bethesda ruined it by trying too hard to cram as much content, loot, gore, VATS whatever into the game. Bethesda should try to meditate on the 'less is...

I especially like this part about VATS:

The MMO industry is already doing that. See Age of Conan. It was the best selling MMO (except for first WoW addon) during the first few weeks, and now they're already merging servers just months after release.

I meant that sounds like a jab to NMA to me, but maybe I'm just paranoid here.

I have to admit I did not bother to read the 15 previous pages of conversations but... was I the only one to burst a vein when the guy on the interphone in the Tenpenny Tower video says "No Zombies allowed"? Ah nvm...

Yup, these screenshots sell the game far better than the official ones.

Another interesting bit. EDIT: moar

That makes perfect sense. But you certainly know how swiftly NMA members and contributors are put aside as pathological nay-sayers and trolls, and your conclusion just begs for this. I think that the article would have been better if you just sticked to hard facts. I fully agree with you...

Nice article. Good points and all but your speculative comments about Fallout 3 in your conclusion are inappropriate in my opinion. You tried very hard to steer clear of plain Bethesda bashing but you failed eventually.
