Yes but someone stated that the forums on this site are biased, on which OP asked why. Since I agreed with the first commenter I explained why this thread is biased. Simply because fallout is a much bigger release than Xenoblade.


That's not bias people on a forum would naturally be more avid then the majority regardless of the size of a franchise, like someone mentioned earlier if you did a poll of Bloodbourne and COD the former is likely to get more votes on an online board of gamers with distinct tastes despite the latter being bigger. Being a bigger franchise doesn't mean it should autowin a poll that's a flawed way to look at things.

People who buy Xenoblade X are more mature than people who buy Fallout 4? Or people who form their own opinions are more mature? People who buy Fallout 4 don't have their own opinions?

I'm sorry, I'm just confused.

As for myself, I played Fallout 1 and 2 and loved them both, Fallout 3 was good but not great, New Vegas was great in my opinion and I'm looking forward to Fallout 4 as well. That opinion and expectation is built around an almost 20 year old love for the series and the setting and not hype or juvenile peer pressure. I'm not saying that many of the buyers won't be the customers brought in by the latter, Bethesda started pulling more casual strings with Oblivion and took it to another level with Skyrim, and it resulted in amazing sales, but there are a lot of people who buy them for being solid titles and for enjoying the settings, gameplay and overall genres as well.

To me, this sounds like another attempt at "people who play Nintendo games are mature, others are not", or "Nintendo gamers are the true hardcore gamers",  which is something people have been saying in here for nearly a decade. I could be completely misinterpreting your last bit but it honestly sounds like that old schtick.

I voted Fallout 4 and I'm also being completely honest and not swayed by majority opinion; if anything, I've been a careful skeptic all along and I've offered a bunch of criticism towards Bethesda games and other so called "AAA" games for many years in here. Besides; who's to say that people aren't being swayed by mass opinions on Nintendo platforms as well and not really making their own (mature) choices?


Wait there, you are twisting my words. I didnt say people voting on F4 aren't mature. I said people voting on F4 and then coming in and saying: "this shows how biased these forums are", aren't mature. A bit of a difference there that is quite significant.

Make no mistake, i love Fallout. This isnt about fallout at all. Its about atitudes. I would say you are trying too hard to find a discrimination where there isnt one. This is not about Nintendo gamers either. Its showing what you like regardless of what the majority or socially acceptable choice is. It makes those that conform themselves to the majority feel quite unconfortable and show their colors, as we have seen. 

Also, if you did read my first post on this thread, you would know i'm expecting Fallout 4 to be better, so if i had a bias, it would be a very strange one. This isnt what you thought it was mummel.


Okay, misunderstanding then! I agree more with this position.

Personally, I found the mindless hype and the inflated scores of the 7th gen unbearable and that's when I started disregarding scores and reviews more and more. Games with fist sized holes and major flaws had them glossed over due to production value and mass appeal and the expectation of great sales and it seems like the 7th gen was ultimate generation for being wooed by developers rather than treated to proper, worthwhile games.

I totally agree.

I am truly shocked XC is winning. How the hell is it beating Fallout 4?

Obviously, Fallout 4 is my choice. Got the pip boy edition and all.


If you played the first game you would truely understand where the hype is coming from.

I have both paid in full pre-ordered. The Fallout series is in my top 10 favorite video game series, so I'm excited for that. Never played Xenoblade but I'm excited for the possibilities.



Systems I own: Switch, Wii U, Wii, N64, Retron 5 for my Ness, SNES, Genesis, Gameboy line games, Dreamcast, PS2, New 3DS.

Already preordered XCX - now I need to buy a Wii U...

Didn't play any Fallout game since over a decade. I don't really feel like I'd get into Fallout 4 so I'll just pass on it.
Really not that sure if Fallout 4 will be that great, but I have a strange feeling that it will get undeservingly high scores due to hype so I'll say: Fallout 4 Score > XCX



XCX, XC has just been too good for me to miss out :P

I might get Fallout 4 later on if its cheap, but i've never been to fond of Fallout.

Both. I already have the special edition of Xenoblade ordered. I wasn't lucky enough with the Pip Boy Fallout, though. I'll grab it on Steam at some point in the future.
