Remember, these are the imbeciles who refused to pay Obsidian even a lick of royalties from the game because it got an 84 on Metacritic instead of 85, and we all know how informed and worldly the reviewers on there are.

"METASCORE OF 84?! We have nothing to learn from these proles. Let's play Bioshock 2 instead, I bet we'll get some great lessons in RPG design from that!"

Nothing particularly imbecillic about that, merely calculating and practical. You could call it... min maxing. :smug:

I don't particularly care for neither Bethesda nor Obsidian AD 2012 but last I checked, people who let themsleves be fucked over fit the description of imbecillic more than those who take advantage of such people do.

Well it's pretty obvious from how Skyrim turned out that Bethesda learned absolutely nothing from New Vegas. Remember, these are the imbeciles who refused to pay Obsidian even a lick of royalties from the game because it got an 84 on Metacritic instead of 85, and we all know how informed and worldly the reviewers on there are.
A one-time bonus, not royalties. Royalties weren't on the table.

"METASCORE OF 84?! We have nothing to learn from these proles. Let's play Bioshock 2 instead, I bet we'll get some great lessons in RPG design from that!"
But Bioshock 2 is an Obsidian-style sequel, minor improvements on a shit-core yet a lot of silly people think it's worse because the novelty's gone.

The story was shittier too. Probably because it was written by leftards trying to bash their own side in the interest of "fairness" but not really knowing how to do it because they don't really understand why collectivism is shit. It also didn't help that it didn't really feel like you were playing as a big daddy since you were just as fragile (if not moreso) than the guy you played in 1.

Did they? Posts on the internet don't tell an entire picture. Just look at the Steam stats and you'll see that thousands of people still play New Vegas at once every day and Fallout 3 doesn't even rank.

NV requires Steam. FO3 doesn't.
Uh, I... suppose it does if you buy it on Steam? Maybe? Also that reminds me that New Vegas is a better game solely because it wasn't a Games for Windows Live product.

(And before someone asks, I don't give a shit about the PC version of Dark Souls.)

Since you don't need steam to play FO3 then steam statistics won't track all the people who are still playing FO3 and using Steam statistics to compare current popularity is pointless.

I don't give a fuck about the stats bullshit hockey you're playing with Roguey. FO3 requires Steam if you buy it from Steam. Most likely you're correct. Any faggotfuckers still thrusting their dicks deep into the moist Fallout cre3vice have the original, GFWL version and will never have to be held accountable for their dubious, alternative life choices because they live off the grid like some sort of kind of renegade, Highlander 2 special editon. Goddamn I gave a fuck. You fucker. I will have my revenge.

PC retail is nearly dead in NA where Bethesda's most popular. Plus there was a big sale not too long ago, where you could purchase both for dollars, let's see how that turned out:
6,839 8,189 Fallout New Vegas
1,092 1,306 Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition
Mmm hmm.

All I get from that is that 5 million people already had Fallout 3 whereas 6 million people waited for a dollar sale to get NV. :smug:

I thought steam guarded their sales figures very closely. What's your source?

My source is that PC game sections used to be several shelves long and in the mid-late 2000s they shrunk to one shelf at best and continue to get less and less space at the retail stores I visit. Others say the same thing. I think it's part of an overall-move to digital-for-convenience that includes music and movies.

Fallout 4: Lore Rape Adventure, marketed by :hearnoevil: to :patriot:. Now with less RPG elements then ever, everyone including Johnny Xbox can play it now & still consider it an RPG.

I don't know what would prove to be more depressing. Bethesda giving Fallout 4: New Vegas 2 the Skyrim treatment, the implication being that the company wants their games to be this simplified, or the game actually being marginally more RPG-y than Skyrim, as FO3 was to Oblivion. After all, they did go to great lengths to re-tool SPECIAL for a real time format, so I don't know why they would drop it so quickly. If this is the case though, it would imply Bethesda still acknowledges the existence of RPG elements, and is willing to do them to a small degree, but merely feels as their beloved Elder Scrolls series was never meant to be targeted at such esteemed, sophisticated and hygenic players (NV is still far from "complex" but it is incredibly so relative to what we have on the market now).

"It was always our dream for Elder Scrolls to be a corridor shooter with swords and fireballs, we just had statistics as a handicap in the 90's because hardware wasn't VISCERAL enough yet to provide that majestic, cinematic, epic fantasy experience you can get with Kinect."

It starts with an IP changing hands..
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't matter how much you love Fallout 3
Keep that in mind, I designed fallout 3 multiplayer
and delivered.

But unlike pizza, the community wont' support my goals.
Time is a valuable thing, look how modders at nma waste it.
It is so unreal how the years have gone.
I wasted my life trying to keep the spirit of point lookout alive.

Mothership zeta rhymed with the canon and got no where.
So does it matter if the game is linear?

All I know is the DLC swung by too fast.
Damn those review sites.

4 Times the Fallout 3
4 Times the New Vegas
I don't know why you can't see.
Keep that in mind.
I designed this post to waste your time.

Fallout is all our property!!!
Never remembering is to hopw roewurne is to DLC!!!

I tried soo hard. And go banned from so many forums. WHY DOES NO ONE CARE?
Lost valuable codes and arts on IRC.
Interplay falled, and I had put my trust in it to copyright my art for them.

There is only one thing you should know, I lost my trust in online games.
There are no babes.
You sick bitches stealing my poems, thinking its logical to punish men.
Fucking feminism stopped Fallout 4 from coming out before skyrim.

I watched the clock all day long for months. No response from bethesda about that mmo job.
But in the end not even inXile thought I was far enough along.

Bye men. You no longer matter.

What I need more is for rpgcodex to actually get off their wallets and fund some project of mind. it would greatly increase the chance the game I release is better than good. it would be almost super goood. I defintely can do a better job than Duck Nukem 4. But I will of course use instead of ducks, maybe some other characters codex knows. for real it would not be a disaapointment . you must fund me. or prosper dies.
