Question for the haters

Post » Mon Jun 11, 2012 1:02 pm

Sarcasm and trolling people because they don`t follow your view helps nothing.

I`ll say it one more time: Constant praise with no constructive criticism leads to bland and boring games with no depth.

Many games have been improved by constructive criticisms.

Only a fool wants only praise and they usually end up with a big shock if they never listen to anything else.

Underlined: You mean like the guy I quoted was doing?

I assume that was directed at someone else, because at no point in my post did I say that skyrim was without its flaws.

Don't quote me if you have no intention of replying to what I actually said. Read the text, not what you want the text to be.

EDIT: Get off your high horse and stop preaching to everyone that disagrees with you (or in this case, someone you think disagrees with you).

Did I say you were wrong? You said you "KNEW" something that i really doubt you "know". now you say you believe it. Which is it? know or believe?

I at least gave evidence of my point of view did I not? They SEEM to at least be listening.

Reread my post and see if you come to the same conclusion.

Sorry if this comes off rude but I am typing fast and with little time.

If you really want to go in circles i never said that you said I was wrong ether. Knowing and believing the truth are the same thing it still doesn't mean I'm right.

If I have to give you context for that here goes, a long long time ago people thought the world was flat They believed and knew the world was flat turned out they where wrong and maybe I am to but for now I both Know and Believe what I say to be the truth.

Sorry if I seem rude as well.

However, not all criticism is constructive. A lot of what posters perceive to be improvements are actually simply their own opinions where they think a design decision should have been made in a different way. Sometimes they're right, but more often they're very wrong. There are usually very good reasons why decisions were made in certain ways. Now of course that doesn't mean they shouldn't post their opinions, but just that it's silly to carry on about how flawed the game is, just because you and the developers disagree on how certain aspects of it should have been designed.

There's a point where the sensible thing to do is to acknowledge that it's their game and they are free to design it how they feel it should be designed, just as you are free to not play the game. And when it comes down to it, there are two more reliable ways to judge how worthwhile a game is, other than opinions posted on message boards. The first way is by examining reviews done by experienced and reputable critics. The second, and best way of all, is to look at the people's verdict - how many people bought the game, and how many are playing it. On this last measure, Skyrim has accomplished much.

Debate time.
I cannot agree with you on that. Knowing and believing are two separate things though they may seem to be related. You cannot know something without proof. You can believe something and it can come true, however you still did not know it.

Belief- confidence; faith; trust: You believe the Earth is flat. You have not seen for yourself though.
Know- to have knowledge, or clear and certain perception, as of fact or truth. You know the Earth is round. You have been around it and have seen for yourself.

If you know you are right. You are right. How you would know that however would be something that would need to have proof. You can think you know something but if you are later wrong you did not know that thing. In some ways, there are very few things that you can 'know' for sure. That is all I am saying.

We will have to agree to disagree then.

The fact of the matter with Skyrim is, many aspects of the game are sub-par when you compare them to other games. I think most of the people that really enjoy this game are just into the exploration and combat and care less about the rest. But when it comes to a true good game, those forgotten aspects would have had a lot more attention toward them even if it wasn't the main focus of the game. They advertised Skyrim as if it had something for every type of (RPG) gamer, but when it came down to launch day, they missed the mark.

Well, that wouldn't be good. If they quit making TES games they might focus on Fallout and ruin that franchise too.

Its people like you why they would stop making fallout God forbid.

I hope so. Because Bethesda would never make a better Fallout than New Vegas. Even if they have more resources and time.

What would you do if all your hate and negavity caused bethesda to stop making TES and focus on other projects?
I know the game has many frustrating faults that need to be addressed but the positives need to be praised equally if you want to encourage growth

They will just move on to the next game to hate. Some people just want to light the world on fire to see it burn.

FNV is the best game plublished by Bethesda so let's see what they can do and shut your [censored] mouth before someone else gets a hold of it!

I would rather be counted among the few that know the truth then the many that fallow the lie.
The truth is out there! You want to believe!

Seriously, the rhetoric gets kind of dumb. I don't consider respectfully stated, constructive criticism to make a person a "hater." When I use the term I mean the hyperbolic frothing kind of exaggerated doomsaying that some people engage in. Just as liking the game a lot and not dwelling on its faults does not make one a [term that the forum insists on censoring in silly fashion].

PUBLISHED not developed. Obsidian made Fallout NV and if they had the chance (and a proper amount of time) to make this game, I wouldn't mind if Bethesda PUBLISHED it.

Edit: anyway we're getting a little off topic...

Since Bethesda has secured all rights to Fallout, if they don't make it, no one can. This effectively means the discontinuation of the series.

You may argue that discontiuning the series is better than ruining it but that would just be selfish since there are people who enjoyed Fallout 3. As a matter of fact, more people brought Fallout 3 than Fallout NV and most gamer sites rank NV lower.

....

what fallout 3? in my mind fallout 3 was a tech demo and i'm not talking about van buern either... NV was the better game imo... and the last i heard http://www.computerandvideogames.com/271510/new-vegas-beats-fallout-3-debut-sales/ ( i know thats the debut but finding sales that include digital is quite difficult), ... Gamer sites are jokes those are peoples Opinions ( i don't use them at all why should someone else tell me what game is good or not and if i should buy it) but everyone has an opinion...

I know and it's too bad. If Bethesda ever makes a Fallout 4 or whatever, I'll probably still get it. Now, will I enjoy it? If they totally ignore everything Obsidian did and make another game like Fallout 3, yeah I probably will. But if it is anything like Skyrim, it will be the end of Fallout for me.

Fallout 3 = 7.2 million
Fallout NV = 5.81 million

Yes, everyone had their own opinions. But on an entirely subjective matter such a enjoyment of video game, you can argue until you are blue in the face and no one can win or prove the better. Voting is the only reasonable process and more people have voted for Fallout 3 with their money.

As others have pointed out, sales figures are all the praise a corporation needs.

Somehow I doubt their million dollar feelings are all that hurt. ;)

Bethesda published NV, correct.

Bethesda is also the owner of the Fallout IP. They even were back on their agreement to allow a fallout MMORPG to be made by Interplay, not like they themselves are going to make one.

In others words, Bethesda have you hooked. NV was a one time agreement to get Interplay to sign over the IP. Hate Bethesda as you will, lament the lost of Fallout as you will, there is never going to be an Obsidian fallout again.

Dear oh dear. I shouldn`t even respond to this.

Calling people `haters` for criticising what`s wrong in a game and how it can be improved (which has been done many times) is hateful in itself. I`m somewhat surprised that such a flame-bait title is allowed.

Many people who criticise the game are not haters, but want improvements and are using their voice (the forum) to express that.

I had no idea this forum was only for sycophants.

And sycophants improve nothing- they just cause things to go stale and bland.
True, but sadly there are those one can call haters ion this forum. Namely those who go out of their way to point out the many flaws or even bash the game if it isn't even related to the topic, then fall to petty insults when people don't agree with them.
