I guess that's why we are posting on a Fallout fan-website-forum-community ... because we don't care about the franchise. Not. One. Inch.
I think most people here are realistic enough to know that we will never see the Fallout from Bethesda that deserves its name. Doesn't mean we can't or should not discuss it. The great thing about it is, that you can always ignore the stuff you don't like to read.
Sure - discuss all you want, I don't mind. All I'm saying is that it might be benefical for some of you guys mental health if you accept this Fallout 4 game (the Toddapocalypse game) for what it is, rather than bashing it for what it can never be.
If it wasn't called *Fallout* specifically I think you guys would be thrilled that *someone* was making a Triple-A post apocalyptic game. But because they've picked up the Fallout name... well, there seems to be a problem.
I say just forget about the Fallout name... pretend it's called something else. When the game comes out take it for what is. Imagine it's a new franchise inspired by Fallout if you will.
well but the problem is that they make money with the franchise , alot of money ... especially with fo3 they did this kinda trick , i think many old fallout fans bought the game and were dissapointed , story , gameplay and lorewise ... and im feeling sad that they wont stop milking the cow . they try to sell us soemthing which isnt fallout anymore but still its called that way , why ? simple answer , because u can also sell dreams and memorys ... especially memories , who from us doenst want to see anything fallout related . even when we know that it will be an shooter and story will be uber trash , same as all rpg elements ... still that word fallout reminds us of some really good timeless game .
its not hard to see that there are worlds between tim cain and that howard guy ... literary they just stolen it , its no wonder to me that fo3 and fo4 suck or will suck hard times ... u cant take somebodys else work and hoping to get the real deal product ...
fo4 will just be another shooter in an universe without any company and thats the reason why they bought it in the first place ... we can all just hope that the black isle crew will reunite and do something similar like they did with fallout when they didnt had the license to make a sequel for wasteland ...
someone i know made a good comparison to heineken beer , it tastes like shit still its popular due to its name .
still i havent seen anything interesting from all these footage , where are the skills ? will there be any reputation system ? what about karma ?
to me it looks like some actionshooter , power armors everywhere , verti birds everywhere , nukes everywhere ... where is that lone feeling howard said he wanted to catch and one of his arguments that its an singleplayer game ... to me it seems like he doenst understand the whole theme / feeling from the original fallouts , he just use the same words but he doesnt really catch the idea , concept of fallout ...
fallout lore will be raped once again with fo4 but for an post apo shooter i must agree it looks nice , still i wont play it more than once ...
and how much i love the original fallout titles for what they are and that its hurts a bit to see the name fallout on something which isnt fallout beside the world it plays in probably ... well but maybe im 200 years too late for dinner .
