Also can we go 30 seconds without comparing every single thing that Obsidian does to Fallout? Outer Worlds isn’t like Fallout, they and Bethesda don’t have hostility towards each other like they’ve said many times.
This whole thing is ridiculous. Subscriptions exist for other MMOs, just let people spend money on what they want and mind your business.https://twitter.com/Polygon/status/1192164043668283392 …

FO76 has had and has issues but I enjoy the game a lot and I’ve for the most part encountered really nice folks on there. The quests and world are amazing and as someone whose fave parts of a Bethesda game are the environmental storytelling it excels.

I wish that they didn’t bump the NPC stuff for the subscription but the devs likely had no decision there.

And like...everyone loves to just beat on this game so when shit happens that wouldn’t be a big deal for any other franchise but it does here it’s just so silly.

I feel like I’m going crazy with this shit, but no one seems to realize how fucking ridiculous their attitudes are. And that’s even from journalists who otherwise I like.

Also I’m not a fan of like, defending Bethesda as a company but their devs and QA and community managers get so much shit flung their way and they try their best and want to keep working on this game which is a PR disaster for reasons relating to both upper mgmt

But also this general attitude of any person who ever held a Bethesda game that if a game isn’t exactly to their specifications in their heads then Bethesda sucks and needs to stop making Fallout games or whatever.

On top of this general attitude that Fallout 1 & 2 and NV were completely perfect despite that not actually being the case, but hey it seems no one remembers the lukewarm reception and general mishaps that occurred when NV was released.

And the fact that everyone seems to handwave anything questionable in the Interplay and Obsidian Fallout games as well.

And I feel like I am screaming into a void about this, and it seems like it’s way more of a big deal than it actually is

Because people can’t go “oh well a sub isn’t for me thanks” they have to say “DITCH THIS TRASH GAME AND GIVE US FALLOUT 5.”

You don’t have to like Bethesda, or their games, or whatever, but Jesus everyone needs to just dial it the fuck back for 10 mins.

I find this also very analogous to how people responded to ME3 and also MEA.

I have a lot of issues with how Bioware has depicted women and BIPOC in their games, but the vitriol over minor shit that the devs obviously wanted to fix and worked on changing due to that was so horribly unnecessary and just speaks to how entitled hashtag gamers are.
