Etoychest says "burn, BoS, burn!"

Etoychest reviewed BoS, and burned it into the ground<blockquote>If there was ever a game whose release was rife with controversy and predicated with disdain, it was Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. While perhaps unbeknownst to the general public, those entrenched in the battlefield of the gaming industry decided long before this game's release that it was to be the very embodiment of something vile, and it needed to be cast out in a funeral pyre like a scapegoat dying for the sins of the industry as a whole. Of course all of this is senseless babble, the calling card of the gaming zealot, but there is some conventional truth to be found here as well. The original Fallout titles were incredibly deep, open-ended PC role-playing games. However, while that series has been buried under a mound of red-tape half-truths, fans have been given a comparably shallow action RPG that shares little in common with the original games save for the title. It is fun, but it could have just as easily been called 'Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 20XX' for all that it has in common with the Fallout franchise. Brotherhood of Steel is is Baldur's Gate with guns. </blockquote>And another rating article? If he hated it that much, why the 3 out of 5 score?

Who Is the Bagman?

Who Is The Bagman?

Questions for the future marketing personnel, and CEO wannabee's.

Does a third party handle the distribution of console titles to pre determined shelf space?

Is the exposure of each title, negotiated for that title, or is there a standard stocking agreement?

Has I'play's conduit to market dried up and fallen off?

Who Is the Bagman?

Even Street Economics 101:Drug Distribution had a Bagman. I use this analogy because this is the first experience many of us have in making "BIG" money; the buying and selling of controlled substances, and the truth and consequences are most often, less attractive, and frankly brutal, then our naive expectations of supporting our "habits".

A "lose - lose" cycle.

AND a MATURE rated console game IS a controlled "substance".
