I actually rushed to get it written before my holiday break, so it would still have some relevance when it got published (you certainly can't say that much for most of my rants). How silly that haste seems in retrospect.<br /><br />I half suspect that Bethesda is, at this point, doing it on purpose, because they know that without a weekly disaster to garner attention from Yong Yea and all the other game journalists, this shitty game would already be completely forgotten and ignored. It's all according to plan.<br /><br />Not a GOOD plan, mind you, but...The RPGeniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752937839502693108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-336178160467430312019-02-03T10:02:26.735-08:002019-02-03T10:02:26.735-08:00I haven't been on your blog in a while (so exp...I haven't been on your blog in a while (so expect an influx of comments) but man it's been a wild ride since this article has been published.

And I'm sure as hell not touching anything else they make for a good, long time.<br /><br />ICY: Frostbite Edition's another neat post-apocalyptic title, if you're interested.<br /><br />Awww, c'mon, SMT2 was great! I mean, yeah, pretty tedious and repetitive, I'll give you that, but plotless? Soulless? No way! It was a great look into Christianity at a conceptual level, terrific in particular for its pointing out of how many of the religion's tenets are so strict that religious leaders, angels, and even God Himself are in violation of them. SMT2's my favorite installment of the entire brilliant series.The RPGeniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752937839502693108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-12658192917018545482018-12-08T14:43:25.340-08:002018-12-08T14:43:25.340-08:00Please comment on Ascendant Underworld and Bard...Please comment on Ascendant Underworld and Bard's Tale 4, which based on the reviews sound just as bad.Obdurate Hater of Rhythm Gamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-59635951965861157252018-12-08T14:38:28.565-08:002018-12-08T14:38:28.565-08:00Bethesda has really been fucking over its customer...Bethesda has really been fucking over its customers recently: Not only has it promised shitty bastardizations of its games, but it also sold a $200 hobo bindle as a fancy nylon bag, giving out worthless refunds at no cost to itself--fuck Bethesd right in the ass.Obdurate Hater of Rhythm Gamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-67272749788136382072018-12-08T14:33:10.360-08:002018-12-08T14:33:10.360-08:00I am boycotting Bethesda permanently, never fuckin...I am boycotting Bethesda permanently, never fucking touching its games again after the E3 press conference. I did the same thing for the same basic reasons after Microsoft's conference in 2013 and after E.A. used Origin's hallowed name to promote its shitty games. I was afraid that even though I abandoned Microsoft and E.A, I might not be able to abandon a developer I liked but I dumped Bethesda. How nice to know that I am not capricious.<br /><br />What makes this even worse is that some excellent post-apocalyptic R.P.G.s have become available recently: Ever Oasis and World of Final Fantasy came out and Shin ZMegami Tensei if was finally translated. World of Final Fantasy and Ever Oasis are two of my favorite R.P.G.s now, and though I am not sure if Shin Megami Tensei if is that good it is a great game: A nice change from the horribly tedious, joyless, plotless, soulless, repetitive Shin Megami Tensei 2.Obdurate hater of Rhythm Gamesnoreply@blogger.com
