If the game sucks, oh well. But I don't see the point in complaining about it when if you aren't going to play it anyway, since it doesn't affect you in the least.
Come on man, you know better than to say something like that. If none of our previous arguments got to you, it should at least be clear as day now that this game did exactly what we predicted it would - kill the chance of there being another FO RPG while more Pieces Of Shit get put into production. That certainly does affect us, now doesn't it?
And for those of you who always say "you speak too soon, you don't know that it's going to suck" - we're predicting that it's going to suck based on our knowledge of other games, just like Interplay is predicting that it's going to be a smash hit based on their experience selling games. Neither us nor Interplay can see into the future, yet we're both making assumptions based on what we consider to be reasonable grounds. Do you really think a company that sues it's distributer, guaranteeing that the only game it has to offer will not be released until at least 6 months after they planned on releasing it (well past the Christmas shopping season), drives itself close to bankruptcy with poor decisions, sells off all the intellectual property that could potential make it a profit, and lays off almost all of the game-making talent it has can be counted on to make a quality game, or more to the point, make a smart decision? All signs point to BOS being a mediocre game and a mediocre sale item.
