Its like Fallout is god.SA wrote:Fallout 3, the long-anticipated RPG from Bethesda Softworks, is coming Fall 2008! What are the true fans saying about the game? This week we went to No Mutants Allowed to get the scoop on the hottest game of next year. But when we got there we just found a bunch of losers bitching endlessly.
Did you get that? Like scientists hard at work in a lab, Fallout Fans (note the capitals) have cracked the atom - er - managed to deduce What Fallout Really Is.Fallout 3 is not disliked because it's new. While alot of cynical comments about "Shiny graphics, nukular catapultz and 1mm3rshUn" may make it seem that way. The truth is over the years long time Fallout Fans have managed to deduce what it really is that makes Fallout, what it's about, and what made it uniquely "Fallout". Given recent preveiws, many fans feel that Bethesda is missing the point of Fallout. That the emphasis on swearing and gore and nuclear explosions (cars, the fatman) contradicts the original games.
It is funny, you dumbfucks! What, you think those exaggerated animations are real?Okay, but why all the really mean comments about Todd Howard himself?
A) He's the lead developer.
B) He's also at the front of the hype machine surrounding Fallout 3.
C) He goes on and on about some of the features fans hate the most. Talking about how "violence is funny like Jackass" and seemingly totally missing the point about
D) Listen to the stuff he says and how he acts some time. He does not seem like the brightest of people.
I remember reading that and laughing my ass off, but I thought I saw it on an older Weekend Web. WeirdAce Pace wrote:This is hilarious.

Thats too good to be true.
First off, isometric perspective is a culture? Maybe it's games using isometric perspective...not that the latter concept makes much more sense. Second, likening Bethesda to God Rock and WHITE SUPREMACISTS?A guy that froths at the mouth wrote:Bethesda is actively fighting to bury Fallout-like cRPGs and spreads lies about isometric perspective being outdated.
I'm not going to support them just like I don't support white supremacist or judeo-christian musicians. Why should I give my money to someone who spreads lies about my culture?
You really stirred up the hive.weemadando wrote:I discuss this a little in my latest blog. That and internet tough-guys and ranting in general. But mainly its about loser Fallout fanboys.
Yes, we are truly the last bastion in defense of Bethesda's good name. And did you just come back to snipe or are you going to run away like a bitch like you did last time the logical debate you love ever so much ended with you being bitchslapped?Cao Cao wrote:Misrepresentation is such a wonderful thing.
It makes me sad that what was once my favorite forum for logical debates has reverted into Trekkie style lies and me-tooing. To rabidly protect Bethesda of all companies.
Balanced.Honestly if she can't see the beauty of the series and understand why the developers must stay committed to its roots, I doubt she'd have stayed committed to you anyway. You made the right choice, I say!
Myself, I'm more or less not on speaking terms with my friends who are planning to buy this game on release day. They'll see when they play the game and see just how shitty it is though.
Yeah man, let's just ignore the following:Bounty wrote:You're right, the context makes it all better, especially scathing replies like this one:

Funny you say that, 'cause I can say the same about certain men too. Not the hormones part though... in this case there's no brain for the hormones to get in the way of.
I'll join you in kicking freshmeat [the perpetrator of the girlfriend slapper post]. We'll call it "Meatball!"(tm)
While I appreciate your fervor for Fallout.. that's just wrong. Not everybody is obligated to care about Fallout.
Domestic violence is not a joking matter. The more people make psychotic comments, the more ammunition is provided for whiners who want to defame the community.
Agreed. We don't want that kind of thing here.
Freshmeat - This is a your first strike. No more of this subject.
I would suggest everyone drop the domestic violence comments and return to the topic.
And this is why cherry picking quotes makes you look bad.Actually it can be assumed that a few of the people who register only to post over-the-top bursts of rage against Bethesda or the world in general are "reverse trolls" from Quarter to Three or similar places, either trying to fuel the perception of our forum as a skum pitt or just for the heck of it.
That's because you know, deep down, that your position on the new fallout is logically indefensible, and you're going to shut up before you make yourself look even stupider. It would be redundant to point out the irony in you decrying other people's obsession for particular videogame presentations, as even George Bush could spot that one...And I don't care to respond to all the hate-filled vitriol that's spewed my way simply because some people can't get over their obsession with 1st person games.
He's not defending that guy. He's saying he's not representative of the forum. Given the guy's recent start date and postcount, I'd have to say that's a fair call.Vendetta wrote:The fact that the initial post was made at all, without a hint of irony or humour, invalidates any defence of it you care to make.
Oh you mean the position that Fallout 3 isn't a sequel in any sense?Vendetta wrote:That's because you know, deep down, that your position on the new fallout is logically indefensible, and you're going to shut up before you make yourself look even stupider.

That's pretty much it. Seriously, it's not like this forum hasn't had it's morons.GuppyShark wrote:He's not defending that guy. He's saying he's not representative of the forum.

Freshmeat got a strike, in NMA you get 3 strikes and you're auto-banned. He apologised for the remark and it was left at that.Although it was amusing to see, later in that thread, a mod ban a guy for (sarcastically) praising Oblivion but freshmeat doesn't seem to be banned.
