Yes.  Paying for garbage just perpetuates Bethesda's attitude towards the property, and I find that attitude insulting.

Poor reading comprehension there.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Preordering is dumb in all ways, not just Bethesda games. Unless it's like, two days from release and you've seen adequate amounts of gameplay.

[Iceblaster]

I hate to be rude, but all that's been released is a goddamn reveal trailer.

Should we start ragging on any game being released as soon as it's announced in fear that it might be garbage and perpetuate garbage games?


On another note, I hope more is released in the coming weeks :3

[Ultimuh]

I for one welcome this game.
At least hold your judgement until they actually released the game.
Although remember to keep your hype low, then you might either be pleasanlty surprised, or it is indeed as bad you expected.

Thats not really a bethesda exclusive thing, you know, and you did mention paying for garbage, implying said thing is garbage over a... Release teaser?

Ok, you've said your point.
Now you can leave.

Well, given steam's new refund policies, you can pre-order if you want too.

Two weeks should be more than enough time for reviews to come out, and you even have 2 hours to try it yourself.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...Oh yeah! Steam got a thing it's needed for a while now.

I am still just getting the spinning vault door on fallout.bethsoft.com ;-;7

I can't tell, but I'm hoping that's the same engine that Skyrim used. If it is, yay! The NPCs will no longer try to murder us by staring!

I can tell from the walks-like-rush-crapped-their-pants animations that it is definitely the same engine as their previous games.

It's not. It's quite probably the Creation Engine, the same as Skyrim. The Gamebryo engine can no longer be used by Beth. I think that either the license expired or Gamebryo went bankrupt, not sure.

The Creation Engine is very similar to Gamebryo, with the main differences being that dialogue no longer happens in its own time-bubble and animations are a little better.

[Geltor]

There is a clear disticntion between gamebryo animations and skyrims. From what is revealed in the trailer, i dont see how some rationally concluded that gamebryo is being used

As with the case with all Bethesda open-world games, don't buy the game until after a few rounds of patches.

For several reasons:

1. There will be a number of game-breaking bugs that prevent you from advancing anywhere. Anything from broken quest lines to missing NPCs to straight up save-file corruption is not only possible, but likely.

2. Bethesda games go on sale often and dramatically.

3. There's more mods and they get better the longer you wait.

If the latest rumors are true the main character will be voiced throughout the game and can only be male. Not sure how I feel about it.

Let's just wait and see.
But if you are that concerned, perhaps you should make or participate in a petition of sorts?

Fallout 3 was excellent, for its time.  I had probably 40 hours of fun with that game, and probably another 15 hours of so-so enjoyment.
Fallout NV was fun, but was just too much like fallout 3.

I look forward to this, but I certainly won't pre-order.

If the latest rumors are true the main character will be voiced throughout the game and can only be male. Not sure how I feel about it.

I know, a forced gender in a story driven game! That reminds me of another thing that really pissed me off, in the book Fahrenheit 451, the main character's name was Guy Montag, and he was a male.  I mean, wtf, I don't even get to name the main character?

My point actually being, if you want a game with a heavy story, you do kind of have to nail down the main character a bit, at least if that character is going to be a major player in the story, and not just an observer.
