Well, I started with Fallout 1, but I prefer 2. I don't think it's nearly that simple and, perhaps, games really do go into decline. Just ask any Final Fantasy fan about how their series is doing. I feel their pain lol. It's not necessarily about change either. Many people, even old-school...

You know, that is not a very honest thing whatsoever. At this point, Fallout 3 fans are hating too. This just happens to be a forum where there are quite a number of people who are not happy with Bethesda's Fallout. But I will say a lot of them are constructive, and it's not fair to point...

Well, I think it's safe to say most people here aren't really fans of Bethesda's take on Fallout, and that should be fine. Not everyone like their brand of gameplay. I wouldn't say the game is abysmal, but it's nowhere above average, even with their open-world environments, which I'll say...

So you like the game, but you can't expect everyone, especially here because this isn't the official boards, to share in your sentiments. I'm the kind of person that can find some level of fun in most games, even going back as far as Might and Magic 1, but there are types of games I prefer to...

Who's really deluding themselves here though? I don't think anyone is saying this game is a disaster. Out of around 30,000 reviews on Steam, the game averages around an 80%. However, you have to look at the reviews themselves, positive, mixed, or negative. You'll find a lot of the same...

True, and I have to say, most of the low review scores I saw on Metacritic seemed to come from people with legitimate complaints, bugs, crashes, ui and performance issues. I can't say I saw many troll posts. I wonder whether the fanboys simply made that up as a way to stereotype the...

Then this place will become the Bethesda forums where they consider criticism a form of flamebait. You're either a fan or you're out, not the kind of place I'd like to be, even if this poster needs to show a little more respect to his fellow posters. Is that what people honestly think of this...

I'll agree Metacritic isn't a legit site. It's not something I overly pay attention to, although it certainly is a real shame what happened to Obsidian. Yet, regardless of the metacritic score as it is, there are enough legitimate complaints about the game from fans of the old AND the new, as...

The soundtrack isn't bad. I think Mark Morgan did a better job, but then again, I think there is a different atmosphere to the newer games, less dark in a way, more heroic sounding. It's not bad though.

There has been something wrong with the style of Fallout since 3 came out. It's lighter, not as dark, not as mature. I've been playing through Fallout 2 the last few days. This is a much lighter game as opposed to the original, yet, it retains some very dark and mature elements, some of which...

I don't know that it would be the "bane of the genre" per se, but really difficult to pull off, while at the same time, including multiple dialog branches and different types of voices to choose from. My thinking is that the time "isn't" now for voiced dialog. It costs a lot of money, takes a...

It's just fanboys being fanboys. I'm a middle of the line kind of guy. I can say good things about Fallout 3, and I can say that I've enjoyed New Vegas very much, but on the same token, I'm not a fan of Bethesda games anymore, not since Morrowind. I use to frequent their boards, and I've been...

I'm definitely not going to waste my money on this nonsense. I had just a tiny bit of hope for a little while. I mean, they had New Vegas to draw inspiration from. Instead, it looks like they just said, "fuck it, we're going to make buttloads of cash", with their two-word dialog wheels. They...

Actually, you have a point there. I suppose that's the cost of appealing to the lowest common denominator. We all remember the great Baldur's Gate and Fallout, Wizardry, and all those great titles. They stick with us, and we still discuss them. I think the vast majority prefers to just throw...
