FFX is the best game of all time. The only good Nintendo franchises are Pokemon and Fire Emblem. Comics are for kids. https://imgur.com/LJ3WSyB Reylo Ship

Hope that means more solid exclusives, they really want to pump out new games with the studios they are grabbing.

I never understood what people liked better about NV compared to 4, but I also never had a copy of NV that wouldnt glitch and freeze every other time I played it so Im pretty biased

Edit: Ive also never played FO1 or FO2 and Ive heard NV is more similar to them, Im not super informed on this subject in general

Any amount of conversation with an NV fan at all will give you a very clear picture of why they prefer it over 3 or 4.

Well, because it's an actual RPG and not just a shooter with a poorly fitting RPG skin. The dialogue is deeper and better-written, and there's more of it because they weren't paying people to speak each line. The quests are more intricate and the choices you make tend to matter instead of just being window dressing. Interaction with factions is leagues better, and character building is infinitely better because of basic things like skill checks that somehow didn't make it into Fallout 4 until the DLC.

Bethesda ruled out third parties working on Fallout a long time ago. A new Obsidian Fallout wasn't gonna happen.

Considering how bad PoE2 and Tyranny flopped they'd probably be closed down if they weren't bought out.

True, Fallout 76 is obvious proof that the fallout series is in a much better place than if it was in Obsidian's hands


If 76 was replacing the main series youd have a point


You know FO76 will be the last Fallout we see for a while.

How long did it take for them to even reveal that ES6 was thing, after ESO came out? And that's with another developer working on the game.

NV's writing and characters are far superior.

The technical problems were due to a rushed development cycle. If given the time that 3 or 4 were given, New Vegas would undeniably be the best in the series.

New Vegas' writing with Fallout 4's gameplay might legitimately be one of the best games ever.

Seems like Microsoft is gonna have a lot of RPG's in the pipeline which is nice.

Yet, don't expect any of them to be X1-exclusive.


I'm not.

They'll be Windows 10 Store only though which is gonna bother people lol

I never got this.
If you can play the game, great. Why is there such a large set of people, who think the most important thing is others can't?

Reassurance of course. They need to feel that their choice is "worth it" so easiest way is to have exclusives. Ironically they hate when other systems get exclusives.

Zenimax were the ones who decided they wanted another Fallout game after 3. Bethesda suggested Obsidian because of its ties to Black Isle.

Zenimax were also the ones who decided 76 needed to be made to cash in on the multiplayer craze.

If Microsoft threw a bunch of money at Zenimax to get an exclusive Fallout game made by Obsidian, it would happen...

But that's not gonna happen lol.

I'm sure developing all of their games internally is a Zenimax decision anyway.

Obsidian;
- KOTOR 2
- Alpha Protocol
- Fallout: New Vegas
- South Park: Stick of Truth
- Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2

They also bought InExile who developed Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera. They have Wasteland 3 and Bards Tale IV on the way.
