i wish they would concentrate on releasing games without bugs instead.

I'm pretty sure the programmers, quality control workers, and similar employees didn't work on the Monopoly game.

Christ allmighty. I like fallout (a lot), and fancy a game of monopoly. But what kind of an idiot does it take to think that fallout creates a good monopoly setting? For monopoly, it's probably the least interesting gaming franchise outside tetris. But they make it anyway.

I'm pretty sure Monopoly wouldn't work in most settings, including all of the ones WiiU posted, but I'm pretty sure no one is buying Monopoly because it's realistic. They buy it because it's an enjoyable way to pass the time, and super fun to tip the board over when you land on Boardwalk with a hotel on it. I think the idea of a Fallout Monopoly game is silly, but is the idea of building a casino in Megaton any more silly than building a hotel on Mediterranean Avenue?

I'm not sure why everyone is confused.
This kind of merchandising is incredibly common.

I'm more baffled its taken so long for a Fallout Monopoly to exist. I'll definitely get it if the price is right. I always love me some monopoly.

What kind of idiot applies economical logic towards a board game?
Monopoly can be literally any theme as long as there is enough content to fill out the squares on the board, and fallout has plenty of stuff to do that. It's a pretty big series.

This was just a matter of time thing. Everything gets a Monopoly game eventually.

This, basically. There are hundreds and hundreds, possibly over a thousand, different versions of Monopoly out there, I can't see how 1 from Bethesda suddenly equals "worst ever :cry:

". By that logic, Nintendo is utter trash, they have 3 or 4 different monopoly games :rolleyes:

A themed Monopoly game is just a standard piece of merchandise like a t-shirt, mug or lunch box. Whatever gets popular gets its own licensed Monopoly game. There's a Justin Bieber edition Monopoly, fer fuck's sake. A themed Monopoly game is not really news.

I like bugs. They add a certain level of Risk to a game your would otherwise grow board of.

Monopoly... The Lego of boards games. Wait! Priceless idea: Lego Monopoly. The board and pieces aren't made of Legos, but it's Lego themed. This adds to the fun of Monopoly somehow. At least, I'm sure it must...

It would appear you don't have your facetious tags installed either.

Do not compare Lego to the soul-sucking void of pure hatred that is Monopoly

We've never owned a Monopoly board. Only time I played it was at my grandfather's house. Don't think we ever played it correctly though (no auctions etc.)
Still no real interest in buying one, though

Do we make it using the same principle as all the other licensed Monopoly boards, or do you want it to make sense?
