I was reserving comment on this subject for this precise moment.

I still have to laugh about the "balls" part when you say the following.
If not, get the fack out of my house with your mumbo jumbo bullshit, it's all smoke and mirrors and you know it.
Mumbo jumbo? What are you talking about? All I've said is that I think BOS doesn't look bad for a console RPG,.
Sorry for the harshness, but how did an incompetent dolt like yourself get that position in the first place? It wasn't based upon experience by any stretch of the imagination. "It doesn't look bad for a console RPG"? What part of that game resembles an RPG for your feeble media whore brain? That it has stats, or was called that? I'm fairly certain you're too green in the industry to understand the genres and how they came about, and how action adventure is a far different thing than a CRPG.
I'm not sure what "smoke and mirrors" you're talking about.
That's not surprising. You've long since proven that you're not only naive about the game industry (or at least what matters, you do appear great at the hype machine as I have suspected), but you absolutely suck as a journalist. Acidic has better place than cluelessness, and you've shown that you didn't bother to do much background research behind the title before you spoke about it. Congratulations on proving the point that you're mostly repost and press-kit whores, as you couldn't be bothered to do the necessary research. The pertinent information has been discussed at length, but I'm not going to post cliff notes about it for your sake.
I was just trying to help get the word out about this tragic turn of events and I don't appreciate the insults.
So, what is your real opinion now that you're not publisher pussywhipped by Interplay, and that you've undoubtedly had an experience that even you could make an informed decision about?
Let's not forget the best line of all, prompted in how you claimed that Fallout fans would be "comforted" or some such drivel:

Saying fallout fans are comforted with POS is like saying Kurt Kobain is comforted by a shotgun shell.
I couldn't have put it better. Hopefully the media reference is large enough.
