New Vegas, 5 million shipped.

lol

You registered in 2010 so I am too smart to argue with you.

How is it "unjust"? Not only did they actually make a good chunk of NV by mere virtue of the fact that NV is just one giant Fallout 3 mod, but they took a genuine risk by asking Obsidian to do it given Obsidian's rather lackluster past productions (to say the least).

Soo... Fallout 2 is a giant mod of Fallout 1? Good to know it's not a sequel!

Mastermind can you quit being such a fucking Capitalist? Seriously.

People probably don't know anything about Obsidian. Other than the ones who browse the forums everyday. Most casual fags who picked it up probably think it was another "Bethesda Masterpiece".

"They do not have the financial backing of a Parent company like Bethesda does. So that will never ever happen."

Whining like this is just what typical Obsiturdfans do even though it's a retarted argument. You hafta earn that. BIO started off a some shit little company as did Bethesda. They *earned* their current status by constantly delivering games customers wanted to fuckin' play.

To say it would 'never' happen shows a lack of disrespect for Obsidian 'cause youa re stating they simply aren't good enough. L0LZ

Pretty much. Though I'm not sure what the point of this comment is. The mod comment was in reference to the fact that the game was largely made already. Obsidian just added new assets and made some small gameplay tweaks.

Good to know it's not a sequel!

A sequel can still qualify as just a giant mod of the original game (see the warlords battlecry series for another example) when the sequel is the same game with a different campaign and some additional/different content.

Choke on the barbed cock of Satan commie bitch.

r00fles!

"Now, time for Obsidian to prove that they don't need a big brother babysittting them ala NWN2, KOTOR2, and FO3.5."

Whoa, slow down, first they have to get Dungeon Siege 3 out.

 

[Felix]

I'm having this funny thought about some Japanese company backing Obsidian if DS3 is another slam dunk <_<

Codex drinking game!
If you facepalm because of a user that registered in 2010, take a shot.
If you put a 2010 user on ignore, take 3 shots.

Bethesda and Bioware both became as well-funded as they are by sucking the cock of the mainstream Halo bro... not exactly something I praise.

Bethesda's shipped a whopping five million units of science-fiction role-playing game Fallout: New Vegas.

This, coupled with a "healthy volume of digital downloads", generated well over $300 million in sales.

Remember, shipped means shipped, as in sent to shops and other retailers. But still, five million's an impressive number.

"We are delighted by the reception Fallout: New Vegas has received from fans around the world," said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda.

"Despite the large launch quantities for this title, we have already received substantial re-orders from our retail partners * underscoring the tremendous popularity of this highly entertaining game. We believe Fallout: New Vegas will be the must buy title for gamers throughout the holiday season."

* and there's the money shot.

Obsidian's playing with the big boys.

I wouldn't go that far. Most of the Obsidian fans around these parts pointed out to me that they probably won't get any extra dollars from the large sales. Whether this is severe Obsidian Fanboy shock from realising that, now that their favourite company has the chance to show what they are made of, they are secretly worried by that prospect, or in fact they didn't really make any extra funds from the deal remains to be confirmed.

It all depends on who is correct.

 

[Forest Dweller]

It's not a bullshit arrangement. It's set that way because the publisher usually assumes all the risk. Obsidian still gets paid even if they produce a flopping turd, so it's only fair that the publisher gets the lion's share if they strike gold.

Don't be dumb. Surely you can see that this arrangement breeds mediocrity. If a developer has no real incentive to make a good game, then more often than not you're going to get things that are half-assed. As is obvious.

They *earned* their current status by appealing to fat fucktards everywhere among the globe and building a reputation for mediocre writing and romance-simulators that appeal to socially deprived shitheads that need an ego boost in order to help them drudge through their daily braindead routines

Fixed that for ya Volo

This is pretty much what Obsidian has done since KOTOR2. Take a shit franchise and as best as they can make it good.

kotor 2 was a piece of shit and worse than 1
nwn2 was also a piece of shit worse than 1

That's dumb... so everything on the Infinity Engine is a mod?

"Bethesda and Bioware both became as well-funded as they are by sucking the cock of the mainstream Halo bro... not exactly something I praise."

They bvecame successful by making games gamers want to play. That includes Codexians.


"They *earned* their current status by appealing to volourns everywhere"

Aren you claiming all Codexians are Volournians? Interesting...
