People need to get over a name and look forward to good games.
And you berated me when all I was doing was deriding myself for hoping that a remake would be isometric strategy when I know full well the realities of the market and desires of publishers would almost mandate it be an FPS. I made the mistake of mentioning CoD, and I get a lecture from you, even though I was not "blaming" anyone (aside form myself) or anything other than current market trends. I AM looking forward to good games. I LOVED Fallout 3, and I will be the first to buy XCOM and Syndicate if they are great. That should not preclude me from expressing disappointment that they very may very well have nothing to do with their namesakes beyond generalities and wondering why the devs would bother using the names at all.
The main reason I'm berating in every direction is because I had these exact same conversations when Fallout 3 was announced. Go to any of those 200 post threads and see people calling me stupid because the perspective changed.
Then see most of those people calling it game of the year.
We know nothing about this game, just title and perspective, but many of those same people are throwing the same tantrum already. Yes, some people are being calm and expressing disappointment, but others are condemning the game, the industry, and pretty much anything they can set sights on.
