Do you feel the fallout series should end?

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 4:47 pm

the fallout series ending ? ROFL bethesda didn't buy the franchise to make just one fallout game according to pete hines, as a matter of fact he in an interview that they fully intend on bringing fallout to the forefront of rpgs in a major way...bethesda develops and works on their franchises, they made 5 Elders Scrolls games so far and 1 fallout game so far...so if you want it to end, just don't play FO4... but post apocalyptic games are not dying out by a longshot, its actually a very popular theme and for good reason, lots of games/franchises have that theme and have done quite well, but here's a link with comments from both todd howard and pete hines on the fallout franchise. enjoy http://www.ligagame.com/forum/index.php?topic=28489.65;wap2

Despite your grammar and punctuation I must agree.



Fallout can never end.
Because War, War never changes.

That is just priceless, sigged.

Depends, If gamesas keeps up with the "century in the future" between games then yeah I think the next one should be the ending. because if you try to make it that people are still livign in tents and using spears 500 years after the bombs your really starting to push it. For me the Ideal would be that you stayed at the time FO2 was taking place and just moved around the country so eventually we can get the big picture of how the US is coming along.

I think the next Fallout will already be a risky proposition. FNV already had a world that bordered on "too civilized" for Fallout. The only way the franchise can develop further is through a major overhaul of some kind. Perhaps a semi- prequel set BEFORE FNV, in a previously unexplored region of the US?

Hell, if bethesda horrid writing contiunes then hell yes. Do a co-op job with Obsidion, Bethesda. [censored], they write bettter then you. You make the world and they make the writing.
i disagree, i think obsidian did everything better than beth, but they did have F3 as a template. but skyrim should of had new vegas as a template, but they decided to ignore it.

EDIT: im being a bit unfair to beth, fallout 3 was epic. but elder scrolls could be way better than they are imo. they really need to cut the size of the game world so they can spend more time on each aspect of the game. no more repetitive dungeons and quests without much love put into them. this is why new vegas is superior- its half the size. (well and no dumbing down + better writing too)

bethesda puts out a much better all around product than anyone else when it comes to open world rpgs, with a lot of the emphasis on exploration, combat and character development...thats the winning formula, and if civilization is "rebuilding" then it has no place in the fallout universe...."post apocalyptic" makes you think of surviving, having to explore, finding supplies, weapons, fighting enemies, finding a place to live etc...those are all fun things to do..new vegas didn't have any of that so it was a flop and only was rated at 7.5 or 8 and it deserved that sub par rating.

What I think is, NCR expands really far, people get tired of them having to boss everyone around, they revolt, and a boulder city type of thing happens across the whole NCR and beyond. Making, a new wasteland.

This ^

But I would go one further. Obsidian does everything. Bethesda just publishes it

This sums it up nicely.

Yeah I know right, there weren't any weapons, enemies, places to live, supplies, or survival aspects to New Vegas at all, game svcked.


There was a [censored] survival skill not to mention hardcoe mode, how could you say there wasn't any "surviving" in New Vegas?
Play the game next time :down:

I'm sorry but you are no longer talking sense. And do you understand what post means? It means afterwards. Therefore the term "post-apocalyptic" means after an apocalyptic event and does not mean the world must never rebuild and stay in a state of general disarray or anything like. After an apocalyptic event should entale the eventual rise of humanity after a long and harsh period of "hibernation" if you will. It seems that you never played the original Fallouts now did you? All in all I think Bethesda should stick with making Elder Scrolls because story and continuity problems in Fallout 3 almost made the game unbearable IMO. While New Vegas fixed these problems and marked the "real" return of Fallout for me.

Final Fantasy has withered because they made about half of their games in the last fifteen years right? Bethesda has plenty of workload to work with, Prey 2, Elder Scrolls, and new IPs that they are developing, so Fallout games will not be released as quickly as some might think. I would prefer the series not to end until we get to a point where we can explore a nice chunk of a continent, or even further. But of course, when the series ends, it will be rebooted in ten years, brought back and resuscitated to live again. If you are worried about it turning into call of duty, it will never happen.

I am not sure if fallout series must end, but I know and I confirm it, that Bethesda employees are totally bad in history lessons… !!
I throw the game in the trash bin! Long ago… And I can tell you why!
I finished the game very quickly and I didn’t knew about that I finished it!! I just choose the wrong quest to do first!! Lol!!! Hahaha
But the most important of all, I visited in a second attempt to play the game, a base with some roman freaks with ceasar..
I ve been shocked when they spell, its time you click on them.. “ AVE ceasar”

Oh my god!! Bethesda confused Ancient Hellas with roman empire? I wonder how this guys who build the dialogs, took their diplomas..
AVE (not aue as it spelled inside the game, but the subtitles pronounce it as “AVE”, how ridicules) means “Hello “ in Ancient Hellenic (greek)… And roman empire, has nothing to do with the Hellenic empire that is more ancient than the roman one..
Roman empire is after Hellenic, they tried to rebuilt the ruins… and they borrowed Hellenic architects at that time to built their temples..

So Bethesda, sorry for that, but you have to open a “A” grade school.. to teach the basics in your employees.. As a Hellenic I confirm you, that this game is very hilarious in historic point of view.. In the trash bin.. Immediately..

Ps: All people in the world never spell Hellas (Ellas) (that its not the original) as Hellas.. Greece is a Turkish word Greco that means "wild".. is ancient word and is a name (like George, paul, John).. People in ancient Hellas (Ellas) have the name Hellinas.. it means, “ stone from the sky” or “ stone from the sun” multiple meanings.. And why we called our country as Hellas (Ellas)? Because, as you know from the jewish history, a cataclysmic event happened with mosses, Noah and the rest.. The same thing happened in Ellas!! And one from the remainers in my country, called Hellinas (Ellinas)... and they rebuilt the country after this catastrophy.. We type it in latin as Hellas, because when they created Latin, they couldnt spell Ellas, but Hellas instead.. lol

Cheers boys and girls.. Horrible game.

:dry:
What most actual Fallout fans seems to want, including me, is a collaborative game where Bethesda does what they do best as in the landscape, atmosphere and combat, and Obsidian does what it clearly does better then Bethesda which is story, characters, dialogue, lore and continuity. Scavenging and combat is a big part of Fallout, but any game filled with beauty, but lacking a good story, interesting characters and good dialogue just feels soulless. Fallout 3 didn't feel completely soulless, but Oblivion did.

Good god a Greek nationalist.

Ave is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ave. Latin makes no distinction between 'v' and 'u'.

And pretty sure the name 'Greece' is either Roman or Proto-Greek in origin. Since the term 'Magna Graeca' (southern Italy) was already in use in classical times your assertion that it's a Turk word is most definitely nonsense. The Turks were nowhere near the Mediterranean in classical times.

As an undergraduate student of classical history I confirm you, you are full of it.

But that wouldn't be in the true spirit of Fallout now would it? As much as I would like to see that happen if Fallout had to end I doubt very much that it would. As is the pattern with the new Fallout games even though you have done these amazing things it never seems to have an impact on the wider scale of things. You'd think that news of a giant water purifier purifying the waters of a whole river would be BIG news and would travel fast, yet, you never hear about it in New Vegas. I doubt that the Battle at Hoover Dam will be much different either. You are very proud of yourself for doing such a fantastic thing only to find out that no-one even knows about it in the next. Just a thought.
I'm not suggesting the series ends in a paradised earth with sing alongs. I'm saying that it should end on the note that the series' undertone has always been about, humanties struggle to survive against the odds to bring some sense of normality and safety back to the human race, despite knowing that the world can never TRULY be as it once was.

End it with a bang, and have Ron Perlman say the words: "As the earth was yet again plunged into atomic fire the world did not blink, but instead wept from knowing that war... War never changed."

do you honestly think the series is ending? considering the old fallouts were from pre 2000 with lousy technology and most people never heard of the game...FO3 WAS the first fallout game for millions of people, so as far as bethesda having the franchise, its new not old. so if a few dozen old timers are bored with it cause they like the older ones better, well you can always choose not to play FO4. cause its coming.

Okay, you sir are a complete jackwad and an idiot if you think most people didn't hear about Fallout, if by people you mean gamers; there were A LOT less gamers then than there are today, Fallout 3 was the first? It is the first to a long road of horrendous additions and complete screwovers to the series if that's what Bethesda plans to provide for Fallout, if you want to pick up a game series you need to actually stay true to the expectations and foundation that already exists instead of trying to pour [censored] all over it and build something new.

Anyways, yes, I think it should end.
