You do realize your very screenname is that of a "massive city" in Skyrim that got retconned to the point where it became a small village with like 2 houses because apparently making a sixth city in Skyrim is "Rly haaaaaaard~!!1!!!!", yet here you are praising Bethesda for being amazing.

Am I the only one that sees the irony in that?

Bethesda making the same game four times, while Obsidian making four individually different games.

I can't put much weight in gaming press ratings. They're not even ratings anymore, but part of the marketing campaign. Roll some money out and you have yourself a 9 or a 10 with a mention that issues and flaws are negligable and bugs are endearing. Give Alpha Protocol as big marketing campaign as Skyrim has and you'll see how IGN will mastvrbate all over it.

Wow people didn't look to hard to find out sales numbers. As of November 9, 2010 "Fallout franchise has sold more than 5 million copies since its release on October 19." http://xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/fallout-new-vegas/1132962p1.html

So now its 2012, so one would figure it would be alot more than that.

Fallout 3 sold around 5 million since it came out. http://video-games.findthebest.com/q/212/2744/How-many-copies-of-Fallout-3-the-video-game-were-sold

Wrong topic.. but its just a spill over from the other topic about Obsidian.

obsidian is a mediocre game developer and they might be in the unemployment line soon if they don't learn how to make video games.

Ratings mean nothing. They represent a small group of people's opinions. Your rating say that FO3 is better than NV, but i enjoyed NV more. Does that mean i'm wrong? No I just have a different opinion. The ratings say that a certain group of people like a certain game, they don't represent the whole population or even the majority.

Right, then tell me how Obsidian has better writing? I enjoyed Fallout New Vegas Storyline much more then I enjoyed Fallout 3 Linear Storyline.

Oh and another thing, RATINGS MEAN [censored].

Don't worry I hear there's plenty of free job positions available for finishing the construction on Winterhold, they'll be fine.

oh ratings mean something alright, and not only that, new vegas was selling for 20 dollars less than 2 months after it came out, so it wasn't a success for obsidian and i doubt they'll ever make another fallout game and thats best for the franchise.

Yeah guys, clearly a redux in price means the quality of the game svcks, and you'd never see it happen to Sk-

Oh shi-

Is there a point or a reason to your ramblings, or are you just trying to piss people off? <-- An honest question.

This is a very pointless thread.
