So playing on consoles automatically makes me "retarded", a "slobber" and someone who believes that games should be released regularly and developers shouldn't take their time?Mick Myers said:
Just got off work, slightly mad, but, no, I'm not saying everyone that uses a console fits this, but there is a large group out there that push this stereotype rather consistently. Mainly the Madden fans who buy a new game for a stat-change to a player, or the CoD fans that purchase and re-purchase the same bloody game at full price because, OMG IT HAS A BIGGER NUMBER, that, or the god awful scam that is a $15 map pack. They announce those maps when they are releasing details, and then, magically, when you buy the game, they aren't there anymore, and they expect you to pay again for something that was announced as part of the game when they were building up to release. The people that fall for that shit, they are the ones pushing the "More games = better" bullshit that is ruining gaming everywhere.ChupathingyX said:
Now this right here is a great idea. It's a shame that it will never happen, Bethesda is probably working on another Fallout game right now instead of The Elder Scrolls VI: Black Marsh (I can dream) like they should be.The_Blue_Rider said:No, however I would say, let Obsidian develop Fallout from now on, and Bethesda can focus on the Elder Scrolls completely
Its win - win since we get the best possible Elder Scrolls experience, and the best possible Fallout experience
Yeah its a shame, I hope that Bethesda gives Obsidian another shot though, but I think they sort of doomed Obsidian by making Fallout 3, that introduced a lot of new people to the franchise and and gave them a different expectation of what makes a Fallout game. But it all depends on who they decide to listen to though really and whether they think that Fallout should continue in its more traditional roots, or whether their take on it would be better :\lunncal said:Now this right here is a great idea.

In his opinion, yes he did I suppose.Gnometron said:

Maybe, but it was a far more interesting story with deeper philosophical and political questions that KOTOR 1 ever offered to you. KOTOR 1 focused almost entirely around the big twist. KOTOR 2 was a lot more subtle and a lot deeper.M4t3us said:
Yeah, story-wise KOTOR2 was a step up from the original game. Thing is: I could never finish it because my computer froze up before the final battle with Kreia and after a few patches and a session of banging my head against the wall I gave up.Amnestic said:
But still a bug-infested, decomposing husk of a game. I can understand that LucasArts pretty much forced them to release when they did. But we certainly had the capacity to patch games in 2005, so there is no excuse at all for them leaving it in that state. As far as I'm concerned, Obsidian shouldn't be allowed to make anything until they fix KotOR II.Amnestic said:
That's a publisher decision. You can say their reach extended their grasp and given the short timescale they should have gone for something far less ambitious but KotoR 2 was never given a chance, no-one could deliver a good KotoR under those conditions.Aris Khandr said:
There's nothing wrong with having no Romance in KOTOR 2. One of the big differences between the first game and the second was that in KOTOR 2 you didn't have amnesia. Yes, you could still make choices that alter the game, but those choices exist within the parameter of who the Exile was before he/she quit the Jedi Order. The Exile was her own person, not the player's.Jove said:
Then you'll have to burn down Lucasarts, because they outright refused to let Obsidian continue working on KOTOR 2 when Obsidian offered to release a mass content patch to fix everything that was cut.Aris Khandr said:
