A new Mount&Blade, perhaps?
Oh, and Oni 2... and while we're at it, i would really dig Baldur's Gate 3 and SILVER 2

Yes, although some death woven into the story wouldn't be bad, it comes down to execution I guess (seewhatIdidthere.jpg). And they would also need to make disney stuff less...disney, or the contrast with the now more serious world would be weird I think.hecticpicnic said:I hope you mean by 'mature' a more subtle story covering maybe taboo subject and odd symbolism in its art work, and not just some added death and lack of colour.
I probably would've loved it at launch, but having played New Vegas beforehand, and now having played the first Fallout as well---FO3 just isn't up to par. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad game and I had a lot of fun with it. But it's definitely a very dumb game, and to this day I haven't been able to care enough to beat the main story once.Lobo Mau said:]
What's with the Fallout 3 hate? It was a long time ago, but I remember everyone pretty much agreeing that game rocked...?
Eh, 3 was roughly equal as far as bugs go. Bethesda just seems to get a free pass on that while Obsidian is crucified for it (again, not animosity towards Bethesda, just frustration at Obsidian not getting the appreciation they deserve.) Radio stations are superficial, but for my money NV's soundtrack was better anyway. I can sing nearly all the songs on NV still, while the only ones I remember from FO3 are "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" and "Butcher Pete".hecticpicnic said:I think the reason it got flak was because of all the bugs, it was also less consistent and as well put together as FO3.And the soundtrack wasn't near as good and there wern't as many radio stations.
Yeah i guess so, i think they should keep the cutesy-ness though(becuase it's kinda a kids game) and it's more effective when they add disturbing things.Lobo Mau said:Yes, although some death woven into the story wouldn't be bad, it comes down to execution I guess (seewhatIdidthere.jpg).

I don't know something about NV didn't feel right, i still haven't finished it(just not motivated to do so, i stopped because i didn't want it to end thoughFreaky Lou said:Eh, 3 was roughly equal as far as bugs go.

As far as consistency and cohesiveness...uhm...NV annihilates 3 on that front. But this is spilling wildly off-topic so I won't enter my standard 6-paragraph rant on this subject.
Another game I just remembered that I'd be overjoyed to hear about is Bully 2. Bully's one of my favourite games ever, and there are so many places the story could go from its conclusion. Everything there is perfect, but there is so much that could be added! More cliques, more side activities, more vehicles, more weapons. Beyond that and the obvious new story lines and side missions, nothing really needs to be changed. I want more Bully.
I think part of NV's problem was that the gameplay had an identical feel to FO3's, because most of the work Obsidian did was balancing 3's broken systems and writing quests and dialogue trees with crazy amounts of branches and alternate resolutions. 3 was a game you can play for a long time, so most people had only put it down if they'd burned out on it---and then when they got NV, it superficially seemed to be more of the same, so they quit playing before they realized how much better it was in so many ways.hecticpicnic said:I don't know something about NV didn't feel right, i still haven't finished it(just not motivated to do so, i stopped because i didn't want it to end thoughhappens with a lot of games i play)
I did love the first two and the writing was definitively better.
And we can agree to disagree on the music, i never really liked American country and i love jazz, 3 did have more song and yopu might only remember NVs songs because they were more recent.
