Hey folks, I've been reading all of your topics and although I was a "joking" guy a while back, I'm going to be upfront and serious - the RPGCodex is 150% correct when it comes to Roleplaying games. The entire market has been overrun with these stupid shiny games! Screw bloom, screw grafix - give them some SUBSTANCE!
I for one personally approached Todd Howard at this years E3 and asked him (Pete Hines was standing with him and so was a few suits, didn't want to get too violent but yeah) if I could have my money back for my copy of Oblivion and the guide. (a total of $72 at Gamestop) I even presented my receipt to the man! He just shrugged it off and was hurried along by his little "posse". I'm no journalist, but if there was one journalist site I would trust, it's this one. On my MySpace all of my peeps and even people I work with know of this site now, and they all agree - the gaming scene is dying.
Vault Dweller - I personally feel that you may have struck a few nerves when you criticized TES4, and you may have even damaged sales, hence is why Todd Howard is going to do his best to Oblivionize FO3. As a fellow fan of the Fallout series (the first game installed on my new PC was FO1, no joke. The second game installed was Arcanum : Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura) I intend to boycott FO3. I'm not going anywhere near it. I don't care if it has RAI, I don't care if it's story is praised by every "journalist" on the planet. If it has Todd Howard in it's credits and if he's the Exec. Producer, it's not on my To-Buy List.
Every single one of you Codexers have every right to be pissed and jaded to this new age, but there is only one thing you can do - Don't Fund These Assholes!! Even though we're outnumbered by the masses of kiddy gamers, please remember that we are still a very good fraction of the gamer populus. Hell, I'd estimate that every single Lands of Lore 2 gamer that bought Oblivion hated it and returned it for credit. About fourty people I know that played LoL2 hated Oblivion outright and has vowed to boycott all-things Bethesda. (that also includes family members)
I Salute the Codex for what it represents, what it stands for, and for what it is fighting for - the undoing of the mainstream market of the gaming industry as a whole!! I'm 19, but I'll be damned if I turn my back on the old school games that make a fool of everything thats been developed and tagged an "RPG" since 2004....
Thanks for your time....
