I read an article on Bustle regarding Leta Lestrange's role as "the tragic mulatto" archetype in the new Fantastic Beasts movie and hooo boy. Spoilers ahoy in that article, but if that's the level of tact Rowling was going with writing the screenplay I am going to stay away.

yeah it is. you can tell the article is bad by how it doesn't distinguish between nu-metal and heavy metal, using both terms alternatively to refer to the same song. the song is also really bland and just basically a heavier version of existing song venus fly except with a metal-style guitar that it doesn't know how to use properly. it seems like an attempt to ape baby metal without knowing why the metal part works.

Scrap the whole Fantastic Beasts plot-line you tried to have going and if you still want to make movies in the Harry Potter world because you need that cash, just make them about the characters we really want to see expanded on. Like Neville's Grandmother.

Yardbomb posted:Bethesda have coasted off being The Mod Games forever now, it's poo poo yet people will still bend over backwards to an insane degree to defend them. As someone who has no nostalgia or inherent love of Bethesda, but played Skyrim all the way through for the first time within the last month or two: Skyrim is good. Was the time one of the main story quests soft-locked because a cutscene couldn't complete properly acceptable? No. Was I pleased with a handful of other issues like that affecting certain sidequests? No. Is the Thieves Guild storyline still total trash? Absolutely. But beyond those issues I fell completely in love with the game to the point where I was genuinely considering installing Oblivion and playing the series backwards (instead I'm now mired in ESO for better or worse). I can't really speak for any of their other games or New Vegas though. Fallout 3 was my first proper exposure and it didn't click with me at the time. I played NV roughly up until I hit the titular city and got overwhelmed by the complexity of the inter-woven quest design combined with that being the point where the game starts sending you in every direction at once plus hemming and hawing about making sure I got the best outcome with Veronica because why wouldn't you. Frankly I'm wondering if for me personally a lot of it comes down to Skyrim's setting; trudging through ESO's version of Morrowind's swamps (and right on the heels of Skyrim's Morrowind DLC to boot) got tiresome... It's also incredibly funny that goons paint Bethesda fans with the broadest of strokes while still, to this very day, frothing at the mouth about the New Vegas Metacritic thing. More than Obsidian ever did themselves and ~mysteriously~ never about the concept itself, which is/was allegedly a common industry-wide practice.

It's good to be mad and stay mad about flagrant attacks on workers like that, without even mentioning the ridiculous timeframe they were put under to make the thing in the first place. Also most people do in fact care about it further than just that, because it's a fuckin garbage practice that's open to any number of manipulations to cheat workers, which we already know moneybags will gladly do any time the chance arises.

I agree! Too bad I only ever see it come up in the very specific context of goons posting the same exact angry diatribe about Mean Mr. Bethesda screwing over Poor Little Obsidian* for the 68,407th time. *And as we all know, New Vegas was created by the insanely omni-talented duo of Josh Sawyer and Chris Avellone and nobody else. Those two men are the only reason New Vegas was good and Bethesda was responsible for anything and everything bad about it. It would be a lot cooler to see people talk about what they love about New Vegas, on its own terms, rather than defensively comparing it to Fallout 3 at every goddamn available opportunity and using it as a springboard to attack Bethesda. Especially when you'd think after two "bad" Elder Scrolls games and two "bad" Fallout games you'd figure out the pattern and stop giving a poo poo about the company that's clearly not interested in making the type of game you want!

Probably the reason why Bethesda automatically gets a lot of negative blowback when people talk about New Vegas is because they kinda clearly took every step they could to make sure that Obsidian got hosed over, but hey-ho, that obviously didn't happen and Bethesda are a brilliant company

Avellone has gone on record that they were not mistreated by Bethesda and a lot of the dumb things like the short timeframe were Feargus Uruqhart's ideas. While this would normally be taken with a grain of salt given how Chris and him have bad blood, Feargus himself has been saying the same thing for years in interviews. Here's a twitter thread with some of his comments. https://mobile.twitter.com/chrisavellone/status/1057842236002463746 Kay Kessler fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Nov 21, 2018 |

The "Bethesda hosed over Obsidian" narrative is one thats told more by fans of the franchise than the people that actually work/ed at Obsidian. I say "fans of the franchise" because the Bethesda games are big bag of shite compared to 1, 2 and NV.

Obsidian got screwed over by a combination of the timetable Bethesda offered them, plus Obsidian's upper management being dumb enough to agree to those stipulations. Avellone has said that the fault in Obsidian lies at the top, and that the actual dev team is really talented and can do great work when they aren't operating under insane time constraints. New Vegas being released the way it was came as a result of a schedule that was clearly inadequate, Obsidian working with an engine they weren't fully familiar with, and Bethesda's abysmal quality assurance (one of the agreements in the 18 month dev cycle was that Bethesda would help do bugfixes for Obsidian due to their experience with gamebryo, and we all know how good Bethesda is at bugfixes). If Obsidian had negotiated for a longer dev cycle and knew the engine better so they didn't need to rely on Bethesda to help with bugfixes, I'm sure the game would have turned out better. The isometric games that Obsidian has made in the past few years are mostly bug free because they took the time to polish everything up. The Microsoft acquisition is interesting though because the studio was picked up following a one two punch of bad luck. First was how an XBone exclusive Obsidian was working on was suddenly canceled, and second was Pillars of Eternity 2 underperforming sales wise. From what I've heard, Microsoft had cancelled the XBone exclusive because Obsidian and Microsoft had very different ideas on how the game was envisioned. It was being developed at a time when game engines were transitioning and the expectations that Microsoft had were unrealistic for Obsidian to achieve, so the game was canned after years of conceptual development. It completely hosed over Obsidian financially. This makes the conspiracy theorist in me wonder if this was a long term plan to put Obsidian at a disadvantage and then sweep them up so they can get their exclusives library growing.

CharlestheHammer posted:To be fair I’m not sure what Obsidian would gain by saying Bethesda hosed them over. Avellone is long since gone from Obsidian, so what would he gain from continuing to kiss Bethesda's rear end this far out. Also it's not like Bethesda did QA for every one of Obsidian's notoriously buggy games (Alpha Protocol forex). I'd sooner believe the allegations in that rambling mess of a post by ""Chris Avellone"" (with the main thrust of "Obsidian is/was badly managed") than the ridiculously embellished tall tale of how Bethesda, jealous of the clearly superior writing of New Vegas, did everything they could to sabotage the QA process to deny them those precious bonuses. And poor Obsidian, so glued to the corporate teat that they can't speak out about this mistreatment and are even so brainwashed that they've repeatedly said they'd jump at the chance to work on another Fallout game. I've got nothing against Obsidian in the slightest. What gets my hackles up is how often the mere mention of Fallout in any way, shape, or form devolves into exact same 10 minutes hate against Bethesda without fail. Always the metacritic bonuses, always about how New Vegas is objectively better than Fallout 3. Jimbot posted:Every time people talk about New Vegas, they talk about the things they love about it. Not how awesome ropekid is. I'm not sure where you are getting that idea. I genuinely fail to remember seeing a single post - outside specific Fallout/NV threads maybe - that didn't either A) poo poo on Fallout 3 or 4 first and foremost or B) praise New Vegas but only by pointing out how much better it is than those trash garbage Bethesda games. There was also definitely a period where goons circlejerked themselves silly about parts of the game, assuming they must have been written by Chris Avellone or personally touched by J.Sawyer only to then have him show up and explain who was actually responsible for those sections. (TBH I wouldn't be surprised if there was some overlap with people who still tie themselves in knots over Dragon Age 2.) John Murdoch fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Nov 21, 2018 |
