Andy_Panthro: With folks complaining about the complainers, how can you be suprised that it all keeps on getting brought up?
Forums and messageboards are about expressing opinion, if people have strong opinions, then they will state them.
There were (are?) a lot of people around who flame NMA and the like out of hand, without listening to their arguments. That causes a response, and then things just carry on.
Both sides have fervent supporters that won't let it go, thats just how things are. FO3 is still fresh in the memory, it'll die down after a while.
Although the Daggerfall/Morrowind/Oblivion debate still rages...
This is one thread that I wrote after reading stuff on this forum for months. I haven't high jacked any other threads to talk about it and I have kept my thoughts to this single thread. My issue, as I've said before, isn't that people have opinions..but that they hijack threads over and over again to restate those opinions. It's been my experiance (For about 10 years) that the rabid fallout fanboyz tend to do most of the continuing and Hijacking. If someone states an opionion that they disagree with? Forgetabout it. Doesn't matter what the thread is about, it is now a "YOU ARE SO FREAKING WRONG OMGLOL" thread.
That's why I don't go to NMA. If anyone says anything that is against their way of thinking, it is immediately flamed.
This a thread made more out of irritation then anything, because I had hoped GOG.com, having a good community of gamers that love older games, would be free of that type of crap. State your opinion? Fine. Just don't drag it out in to every freaking thread and stop being so butt hurt when someone disagrees with you.
Most of the other forums on GOG are like that: Not the fallout forum. No sir, we can't have a decent adult conversation here, now can we?
Summit: I won't write another word about F1 & 2 superiority again. Promise. And I got to admit this NMA board is a horrible place.
Heh as I said I don't mind that you think that way, it's just the constant barrage and taking over other threads that bothers me. I have never said fallout 1 and 2 aren't good games (I'd throw tactics in there too, honestly.)
