Which makes his departure all the more odd. He seems to be able to do whatever he wants, so why publicly quit when he could work as he pleased?

This made me sad because it reminded me of what an awesome atmosphere the original fallouts had that aren't in modern games. And the aphex twin similarities are pretty clear from what I listened to -- which isn't to say it's intentional plagiarism. People that aren't that into IDM or music in...

Fo is an action game, its just a bad one. You look at the state of most modern action games like tomb raider, and compare the fun just moving around that game was, and you realize action in beth games have barely evolved past doom.

While I agree that's poorly written and juvenile, I feel like there's almost something there worth salvaging -- the same with little lamplight. As a fan of 2 over 1 I like the sillier moments in fallout, and think maybe if those were both better written or maybe a little darker the settings...

The difference is that the bronze and the iron age have clearly definable characteristics: the bronze age is characterized by the prevalence of bronze, and the iron age is characterized by the prevalence of iron; for different areas the two are clearly delineated by distinct periods of time...

I think you're assuming they are different versions of the same game, which isn't information you have. Aside from that, how much time? How does time make a difference? If society is just starting to rebuild in 10 years, or 200 years, how does that matter thematically? Was new vegas really...

Ok, tell me, what exactly does it say about the timeline, the setting, and the thematic direction? Game X is post apocalyptic, and game Y is post post apocalyptic; tell me what you can infer about the two based on that alone. I agree that 3 and NV were clearly different games, just not that the...

I agree, calling CoD: Modern Warfare a "post- Bronze Age" game, and calling fallout 1 a post post apocalypse game are both pointless distinctions. The only possible distinction I can see that could have any value is having a genre called "apocalyptic fiction", where the apocalypse is happening...

Nonsense. Says who? And I'm not "defending" fallout 3 in any way -- except right now I'll defend them for saying not knowing how to filter radiation from water is a pretty advanced concept. But the fact is there are traders in 3, there are domesticated animals, there are rebuilt cities -- I'm...

No. Post modernism and post post modernism are real world time period reference descriptors; they are well established concepts which describe meaningful relationships in art. Post apocalyptic and post post apocalyptic are meaningless distinctions which have no artistic precedent. Saying that...

It's all subjective, but I'm with you. There's something that adds to the lone wanderer vibe when you're fighting the desolation of desert as well as mankind. FO3 felt like you really could have pitched a tent anywhere and lived off of rad roaches or whatever. Desert fallouts feel like people...

If you're a bauldurs gate fan i hear good things about pillars of eternity, I never was though. I think I just like the old fallouts, turn based and solo adventurer. WL 2 was a noble effort but I find the turn based squad games like WL2 and the new xcom too tedious (the old one was better for...

That's like saying "Mcdonalds made a hamburger with guacamole and it was gross so Eric Ripert's will be too!" I'm confident inexile could succeed where beth failed.

This is just shit you're pulling out of your ass that has no basis in fiction precedent, and no relevance to anything anywhere.

this made me so sad This is a pretty big negative for the first two games for me. There were a lot of dialogue options that would just result in combat -- which would then result in the entire town turning on you. Kind of pointless.

I do know that, but that doesn't mean future games need to follow the same formula -- the transition from FO2 to 3 as example. I'm happy with the IP of WL2, and think there are probably more stories to be told in that world that don't necessarily need the squad element. Of course I'd be happy...

I would be completely happy with fallout clone without any FO IP done by inexile -- they can call it Wasteland: Van Buren. Just lone-wanderer style, I didn't much care for the squad based bit in WL2 Sick burn bro.

News flash: post post apocalyptic is post apocalyptic

It was a long shot anyway.

i think best to tamper your graphics expectations, pretty clear we're getting skyrim with guns. That being said, skyrim doesn't look that bad even after all this time.
