10 Most Soulless Cash-Ins In Video Game History

7. Fallout: Brotherhood Of Steel

Fallout€™s first foray into the console market wasn't a particularly pretty one. Stripping away everything that made Fallout so unique and iconic in the PC community, Brotherhood of Steel attempted to attract a wider audience by dumbing down and simplifying almost all of the series' gameplay mechanics. Instead of mimicking the original€™s hardcore RPG gameplay, Brotherhood of Steel opted instead to create an infinitely more generic hack-and-slash action adventure game. But even more pressing, the experience itself regardless of the gameplay change just didn't feel like Fallout €“ there were no major decisions to be made, no particularly interesting or colourful characters to come across and the Wasteland itself was mostly a pretty bland and uninteresting location to explore. Consequently, Brotherhood of Steel felt like a homogenised mainstreamed product, a baby step to appease the console market and a far cry from the confident, towering and authentic original games in the franchise.
