You're simply incredibly stupid and arrogant. You believe that because you've written the same bullshit 3760 times it's suddenly transformed into a universial truth.
Or, you know, you could READ THE WORDS OF THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPERS THEMSELVES AND GET A FUCKING CLUE WHERE ZAJCEW HAD THEIR HEAD UP THEIR ASS.
And where your head is crammed up his ass alongside.
The most comical thing is that I'm suppsoed to change my mind when some random asswipe with 6 posts comes along and tries to tell me, in the most uneducated of ways, over the original developers and the obvious design of the game, that they have a right to post stupid, clueless shit onto my forums that only encourages clueless developers to sell out because of some random idiot, encourage it in others, and I'm supposed to be happy about it.
WOW. Lay down the crack pipe, son.
If YOU read the stuff i have written in this thread you'll see i'm not universially agreeing with bethsoft either. What i'm criticizing is the immature tone in wich you claim to be much wiser than everyone else using silly admin tricks.
No, I've read it, and you got just rewards for encouraging someone who was posting stupidity without any backing behind it, just like you have done since.
I didn't ask to be called a retard or idiot so please spare me. Normally i have a very pleasent tone.
That doesn't matter when you post retarded shit. If you don't want to be regarded as a retard, don't post stupid shit. Simple common sense, which you don't seem to be able to apply.
If my comments HAD been misplaced or off topic the correct approach would have been to delete the post and send me an explanation/warning. Not to offend me with primitive swearwords and immature avatar mess-ups. Funny thing he called me "kid"
So, you didn't even bother to read the forum rules. So why does it come as a surprise when we punish you for failing to do so?
Please delete this post as it'll prove my point.
No, we don't delete moronic attention whores. We usually archive them to laugh at them for years to come as their idiocy becomes even more hilarious. This was done for the moronic apologists for MicroForté and Fallout Tactics, for the moronic apologists for Chuck Cuevas and Fallout: Enforcer, and it will be done with you and the rest of the apologists that are too clueless to read between the lines and cut through the PR-speek.
"Cool" and "fresh" are trendwords, ones that do not suit Fallout as Fallout was a THROWBACK to P&P RGPs when it was created in 1997. It was DESIGNED to seem retro, down to the fiction style, of the old school. It was designed as a solid game with its own characteristics, since the CRPG genre was becoming formulaic and stale in the mid-90's with the death of Ultima and other series.
Considering you obviously didn't bother to read the required reading in depth, I'm supposed to honor your moronic arguments and defenses of some other idiot, when you both don't display a single clue about why the game was created, why it had its impact, and still don't care to form a clue when I put the facts into your face? And, of course, I'm supposed to take Zajcew's and your garbage over that of the original designers themselves. I'm not stopping you or anyone else from educating yourselves, from reading the material detailing why Fallout was designed the way it was with such care, or from figuring out what made Fallout truly great. It wasn't just because of the story, or some superficial points of the setting, it was because of ALL OF IT. It might surprise the children like you, but the creators of Fallout went to work with a specific idea in mind, and when GURPS fell through, they tried their damndest anyways. It obviously worked. Now we have morons who don't see the problem in destroying it.
Yet we're supposed to coddle you and the rest of the children naive of that, who are selfish to the point of validating Chuck Cuevas, and take them credibly when they say that certain aspects of Fallout aren't important and then outright lie about others.
Chances are, you probably weren't old enough to recognize Fallout's impact post-release, and yet that is how the PR guy is now trying to educate himself about Fallout, by playing the games. So, naturally, people like Zajcew and you seem to think that Fallout is just yet another story set in an engine, interchangeable with anything else as today's swill has been rendered, nay, "refined" into. Which is everything Fallout stood AGAINST. He probably doesn't know what the state of the industry was then, in how people were getting sick of crap fantasy games being spewed out like BioWare is doing now, and games like Albion and Fallout came out to help breathe new life into the genre. Albion did well for the non-US market, Fallout did it for the world.
Pete's doing this months after Bethesda got the license, which was itself done months after the PR guy should have been clued in, because he obviously didn't have a clue then. Pete is the spokesman for the developers at Bethesda, and he's clueless, and is JUST NOW trying to develop a clue. Given what has been said about Fallout by other Bethesda developers, this could be taken as indicative of the whole team, especially when the Head Nimrod In Charge of the project, Todd Howard, also says some spectacularly stupid things.
Take your idiocy elsewhere then, kid, because that kind of immature prattle is something we don't care for, and neither is encouraging it in others appreciated. Save it for the GameSpy forums. In fact, go back there, now, I'm tired of your uneducated crap while you presume to tell me what to do.
