I cannot believe how gamers think some times - 'good for people that haven't played Fallout 1 and 2 yet' and 'good for people that haven't finished Fallout 1 and 2' - are you joking?!
Firstly, Gametrailers, then the original poster needed to put a great big SPOILERS notice at the start! Secondly, can you tell me if you would be happy if the retrospective gave the ending of Fallout 3 in detail too? I don't think so!
So all this video has done is make people who may have bought Fallout 1 and 2 now not do so, because they know the endings - in detail, and for anyone who started playing 3 months ago because Fallout 3 was coming out, now sees no reason to finish it! Fallout 1 and 2 are the No.1 sellers at GOG.com, and that site has only been around a couple of months!
IT just amazes me how idiotic and selfish the gaming media and gamers themselves can be. For Gametrailers especially, not to put a Spoiler notice at the front of that video is just absolutely amazing - and I have told them so!
Classic like Fallout should always be given the respect of assuming people are still playing them! There was no notice at all in this video that the endings of Fallout and 2 was going to be discussed in detail. That is just a crime as I see it as very damaging to current Fallout 1 and 2! players
On one level we say we respect these games and recommend people play them, then we talk about this video with no thought to the fact it will impact so many current or future Fallout players!
