I can't believe there are people who actually happily purchase these "expansions". It's like that one tribe that has never encountered contact before. Just a group of people totally devoid of any good taste at all, smiling as they wallow in bethesdas feces.
I essentially picked up the Season Pass with an understanding that previous Bethesda DLC is better than the main game. When they announced the DLC back in March (?), I was left very disappointed, I mean, I was looking forward to Automatron until I heard it was essentially a Mod for New Vegas, now I just feel Bethesda are dicks.
Wasteland Workshop is just a stupid idea, I was doubting whether I should Download it or not, in the end, I did.
The only DLC to actually impress me is Far Harbor, and that's because it felt like they put in some actual effort. I like it, but there's no denying how much it borrows from previous DLC.
So I begrudgingly download all the DLC, not happy with what Bethesda has given us.
And I feel a lot of people on the PC side of things feel the same way. The problem with being a Console Gamer is that you find people are happy with anything thrown at them.
And that pisses me off, because there was a time we were going against these kinds of business strategies, this is how you don't make DLC.
Personally, Fallout 4 may be the last Fallout game I purchase, unless Obsidian are given another shot (which I highly doubt, considering I think Todd Howard can't sleep at night knowing the people like New Vegas over Fallout 4). Bethesda have proven themselves time and time again they don't understand Fallout.
All the things that Fallout 1 satirised, Bethesda has taken seriously. They've become the Vault Tech of the gaming industry, and they don't even know it.
And the biggest thing is, I don't hate Bethesda, they seem to be one of the only few companies who can make interesting Open Worlds, it's just a shame that the game that goes with those Worlds is far from interesting.
I'm not going to think of Fallout 4 as a dumbing down of the series, but rather an insult to anyone who cared about the series to begin with. It pisses me off to think this series could have been something else, now we get Bethesda fans (their not Fallout fans, they don't like Interplay's Fallout) who think they know what the series is. And the truth is, I can't blame them, it's not their fault that Bethesda doesn't understand the deeper meaning behind the series.
And to top it all off, Bethesda knows that Fallout does sell. New Vegas was a powerhouse, and it could have ranked even higher if they let Obsidian finish the game. But nope, Bethesda is too stubborn to admit they were wrong.
And what do they get for it? Massive sales and a die hard fanbase.
I understand this went way too off topic, but I've never had so much fun badmouthing a game. It's so refreshing to just talk shit about Fallout 4 with people who also don't like it. And yet, I still play it, possibly because I'm one of those dumb asswholes who I try to stay away from.
But yeah, if there are two more pieces of Wasteland Workshop DLC, I won't even be surprised. Fallout just isn't Fallout to me anymore, it's become a cooperate shadow of its former self. And that's how I'm starting to feel about the gaming industry as a whole.
I wouldn't be surprised if the industry soon starts to implode on itself, it kind of needs to, but it's starting. Look at the new call of duty trailer, that's been down voted like crazy.
What about the constant special editions and shitty expansions?
Soon gamers will be fed up of all this, the PC lot already has, and the Console lot should begin to wise up a bit more.
What we need is for industry to really implode, we need less COD and more Witchers, we need more games to be released for niche markets instead of cattering to the masses.
And I say that because A. Those games are much more likely to become a breakout hit and B. The general audience won't be left confused if a series takes a different turn.
Fallout fans were left confused and angered at the direction Bethesda took the series, Bethesda fans don't know what to think of New Vegas, and there are those stuck in middle who generally prefer New Vegas.
I said the biggest problem with gaming is not that it's drawn the massive crowds that it has, but that every company feels the need to cater to every audience, that most games are released to become tired and stale .
But anyway, I should stop going off topic. The point I'm trying to make is Fuck Bethesda.
