...endlessly obsesses over a franchise they no longer like...
You're wrong. I think everyone here loves Fallout and still do.
It's just that what Bethesda produces ain't Fallout games.
That's what I mean, you no longer like it as it is. As I've said it makes no sense to me to obsess over something that no longer appeals to you. If a band goes from your favorite to playing a totally different style of music, do you rant on forums all day about how it changed? I've seen it happen with a bunch of bands and I've said the exact things in those cases. If something you liked no longer appeals to you, move on from it. Focus on what you did like, instead we have people gleefully jumping up and down about metacritic scores and screeching endlessly about how they hate Bethesda. It's demented.
I mean all I see is Anakin Skywalker in 3 screaming "I HATE YOUUUU" when I read half the shit here. Many of you are reasonable, but many are not even close.
