Games You Probably Like, But Should Not: Fallout 3

There have been Fallout 3 devs posting here for some short time. And neither Bethesda or this people have been "flamed". Constructive criticsm though never has been here either removed or seen as a bad thing. I guess some just did not liked to hear the oppinion some have about Oblivion here ...

There is a lot less developer communication which is kind of sad, but on the other hand, what would happen if a Fallout 3 Developer would join NMA? They would probably flamed by some people.

I tried to dig up both of the old threads but I couldn't find them. Still, two high level employees from BS (I believe Emil and Pete or Todd, maybe Matt Gradstaff [not high level]) have stopped by and created intro threads but never posted outside of them. They were treated extremely well and greeted politely by the community yet gave NMA no more attention than that.

I'd suggest asking before posting cliche assumptions next time.
 
Doesn't most of them just lurk? Out of the top of my head, there was only one dev that posted regularly, but I can't seem to remember his name.

Anyway, people's attention spans are getting shorter and shorter, so there is no wonder that there is a tilt towards more trigger happy games. As for the article, it didn't exactly say anything new.

In the west maybe. On the other hand, most big games in the Eastern Europe lately have been RPG or adventure, and the Asian market is full of the Japanese RPG and visual novels, all games requiring more that 5-second attention span and containing a lot of text. So one has to wonder.

NMA's registered Bethesda devs include Emil Pagliarulo (lead dev), Joel Burgess (lead level designer) and Steve Meister (lead programmer). None of them were ever flamed while posting on NMA.

Emil's opening message still makes me smile:
Seriously, though, you guys are awesome. In the few months I've been visiting these forums I've seen more spirited, passionate, intelligent game design discussion than I have on a lot of other game forums in the past few years.

Oooohoooh, where has the love gone?

Heh.

The Thief fans, like you guys, were left for a long time to reminisce about the "good old days" while wondering if they'd ever get a new title in the series worth a damn. Some were very happy with Thief: Deadly Shadows. Others...not so happy. But hey, at least the Thief fans didn't get a watered down, "Thief: Brotherhood of Hammers" that was only vaguely even set in the same universe...
 
doesnt MrSmileyFaceDude work at beth? he stopped comming here because NMA was basically blacklisted for them i thought.

of course i could be mistaken.
 
Steve Meister and MrSmileyFaceDude will be treated as equivalent answers.

this hurts. This really hurts, how I wish they could get in some decent talk show with host that likes asking tough questions...
 
MSFD was flamed a few times here. i remember quite well. then mods usually vatted the flames or else told the flamer to stfu.

but generally it was intelligent discussion.
 
some flamers got B& because they were incapable of mature conversation, iirc. we won't miss people like that...
