I’m with Mordrak, I think, this thread is really just embarrassing. On the one hand we have:
- hardcore fans of the original Fallout who are really unhappy that the new Fallout game isn’t similar enough, in their view, to the original games. As a result they’re really obnoxious and irrationally condescending towards people who don’t share that view, and have thown in some troofer nonsense about gaming journalists/publications all being paid off and exaggerating their self-importance.
vs.
- people who don’t share their views about Fallout and/or are offended by what they’ve said, who are just piling on and kicking the first group in the head, far beyond what was reasonably necessary to refute their nonsense, and without giving any of their legitimate concerns/complaints any credence - it’s devolved into an impromptu game of bully, and it just seems distasteful and such a waste of time.
Scharmers gets points for the Orz though.
I’ll agree, and add that it’s all wrapped up in the panache and glamor of:

Poor Thamer is frightened, afterall, because it turns out that which he wants us all to hate so well has a good chance of being loved. His world is changing, it’s not easy!
Also, I’m pretty sure we’re a bunch of asses, which is why we do what we do in the first place.

Somebody PM me when this thread gets back to Fallout 3 and away from “what photo/image can I throw into a post next” mode.

Nice to see Ubisoft making fun out of its customers like this. Excellent corporate representation there. Keep it up Charles.

Hey, fair’s fair. Where do you work, so we can unreasonably and inappropriately throw it in your face when you’re hanging out on forums in your personal time?

Holy shit you are an asshole.
You’re assuming he works.

Hmm, fair point.
Wait, was he one of the “I’m here at QT3 because it will help me break into the gaming industry and become a superstar” people?
EDIT: Aaaaand I think that’s it for him.
No corporate representation, everything I say is my own opinion and not that of Ubisoft or any of its subsidiaries.
Wait, it doesn’t work that way?
Shit.

Oooh, oooh, somebody look for the inevitable “qt3 is awful and sucks” post on NMA or Codex.
One down. TIme for a bananas and nuts update.
The score if you please, Mr. Woo.
Took long enough. Sheesh!

From a newbie, how can you tell? I can’t see his “public profile,” but all of his posts look exactly the same.
