and a few others on here;
You have restored my faith in this forum. Not just because you's think the same things as me but, because even if you didn't you's would atleast understand and respect our differences instead of going on like some other people on here with the 'I own the Fallout canon 'cos I played Fallout 1 back when no-one heard of it' malarky.
I'll admit I used to come on here far more than I do now, when I first came on it was fter spending time on Gears of War forums where we'd talk about online strategies or what need toning down etc and it if anyone has ever been on there then you'll know it's a pretty hostile forum.
The people are not nice, they slag you off in every post, don't listen to your ideas and just basically want to start a fight for no reason.
When I first came on here I was blown away with how nice everyone was, people would reply to my posts and agree or, even if they disagree'd they did so in a nice way and still had a good chat etc but lately' (well for quite some time now actually) these forums are getting more hostile, people are not just disagreeing with each other it's almost like a fight or a competition to prove who knows the most or owns the franchise more than anyoen else because they are so hardcoe they know more than anyone and what they say goes.
It's rare to see anyone agree with anyones posts these days and the fact I had people agreeing with me on this topic shocked me. It's been that long since I feel like I'm talking to people and enjoying the forum rather than 'fighting my corner' so that the parts of the game I love don't get taken out in a patch or the next installment.
I'm not trying to take anything away from other players on here who like different things to me I just think the more choices we have the better as more people can get what they want out of it.
If you don't like something, don't use it, if you think a weapons or apparel breaks the game, don't equipt it, if you don't like the DLC's, don't buy them.
Personally I've got alot out of both Fallout 3 and Vegas and all of the DLC's. Really enjoyed them whether they were what I expected or not. We hace to remember this is not OUR franchise, this is not OUR story. We're just lucky enough to play a part in a story and world that suits our tastes and to all of the people on here who do nothing but slag off the game, the new ones, the weapons, armour, story or DLC's, just stop playing them!
It seem like the majority of the people on here hate the game by the way they talk on here but, I find it hard to believe anyone would spend so much time on a forum for a game they dislike so much so I can only assume they just like arguing with people on forums?
I don't get it.
I love the game and I think people should stop trying to strip it down and take away it's identity because if they took notice of these forums that's what would happen.
I'd happily visit Anchorage again or anyone past event, I want more DLC that really lets me see more of the world I love and know more of the story of it. Just don't strip the game down please! Bring back the real Chinese Stealth Armour too!
Sorry this post is kind of long but, my faith in these forums has been restored by some good members on here, lets hope the forum gets back to how it used to be when I first joined.
