Somewhat? It's a completely new format, in a new setting developed by a totally different team, it's a spin-off. It's like saying that X-Com:Enforcer was a totally legitimate sequel to X-Com Apocalypse because it had X-Com in the title and had things that looked like sectoids, snakemen and ethereals in it.Kajin said:That's sports. This is games. If a game wasn't winning before then obviously it did something wrong to keep it from winning. Maybe it just wasn't as good a game as you thought it was?Do4600 said:Also just like sports fans, if you only like the team when it's winning you aren't a true fan.
It's okay to not like certain games in a franchise, but calling the new Fallout games "not Fallout" because they've departed somewhat from the old games is an incredibly ignorant statement to make.
X-com: UFO Defence was a turn based tactical strategy game with deep management mechanics and X-com: Enforcer was an arcade action third person shooter where the enemies drop colorful heart shaped life icons and kill streak bonuses. That's about as similar as Fallout is to Fallout 3
Who said I don't like the new games? They're very good games, I've beaten both and spent at least 175 hours in each of them, but apart from cosmetics they're totally different experiences and the new games just don't at all remind me of Fallout. I don't even feel nostalgia for the old games when I play the new games, besides just a few parts in New Vegas where the music and story line up, but that's because it was designed by the same people who made Fallout. Bethesda, never.True, you might not like the new things in the new games, but that doesn't discount the new games from being just as much Fallout as the older games.
