@diabolik_023: Likewise...they had a pretty respectable set of games they could have really made something of themselves with. Darksiders, Red Faction, Metro 2033, Homeland. Instead they blew massive amounts of money on some piece of crap peripheral device. Seems very similar to the BS Konami is pulling right now.
@HyperXT: It does seem like an odd allocation of resources, doesn't it? Their intention is clearly to make enough money off this to create a proper DS3 but you'd think they would have been better off just making DS3, right?
@hotwog21: Yeah no joke. What's sad is that 95% of all this would be fixed if the industry would cut the bullshit with release dates. Never mind the fact that nobody EVER sticks to their release date anymore (meaning something like all games ever created are running overtime from the second they announce an unrealistic release date), but it's become more than abundantly clear that the only truly good games anymore come from devs who basically say "screw you, it's out when it's out". There's a reason why Rockstar and Bethesda don't even announce games until they're like 95% complete.
@Vatusus: Unfortunately this is the same feeling I get. I still remember the day I heard about Nordic Games purchasing the Darksiders series for like $24.99 and a wad of bazooka joe gum. Having never heard of Nordic Games, I knew then that the IP was essentially doomed. Considering how promising a series it is and how much the Darksiders fanbase really loves and supports these games, I still can't believe nobody in the industry took any notice.
@Chizaqui No it's not. Bethesda are the gatekeepers of the legacy what is a now legendary game series. They operate within a highly competitive (and increasingly shady) market and are taking appropriate measures to protect that property. SHAMEFUL is these guys pretending that they were somehow ignorant of the Fallout series' existence and attempting to leech of its successes. They're lucky Bethesda merely flexed its muscle.
