Poll: Steel vs Laser

[FableJack]

Fallout 3 is an amazing game with both good graphics and great game play. Which can easily rival Oblivion, Mean while many still would choose Oblivion due to the fact of it relating to Fantasy where Fallout 3 is Sci-Fi. Which one do you prefer when playing an RPG?

 

[Lazzi]

I prefer my near future RPG when its like 2020 or what have you. but when push come sto shov ei like Sci-fi jsut a micron more.

Thats like asking. Which is better a Blonde bisexual nymphomaniac or a Brunnette bisexual nymphomaniac. If they had a baby that accquired the best of both games then that would be my choice. Please put that as a third option.

Hey now, there's steel in Future backdrops too. Maybe it'd be better to title it something like "leather versus lasers." My vote goes for lasers.

I remember reading once that whether something prefers sci-fi or fantasy depends on how optimistic they are. Optimists tend to enjoy stories of the future (Sci-Fi) while pessimists tend to want to reflect on better times (Fantasy).

This post is more arousing than most porn.

I prefer shooting things as far as games are concerned, on movies though it's a dead heat 50:50 since im still getting over the sheer awesomness of 300

Depends on the game, depends on the style. Whole number of factors, I really can't split them.

 

[Vlane]

Fantasy of course. Why? Fantasy has more memorable characters!

I'm serious. I can't think of one character in a Sci-Fi game who is memorable.

In terms of an aesthetic choice I'm a sci-fi fan but to play I've always played more fantasy in various mediums. I am a massive fan of both although that perhaps goes without saying given the fact I am responding to this thread on a gaming website...

Let me answer your post with a qoute:

I think we'd have to strangle him if he were just asking, "SciFi or Fantasy" in general.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

I like sci-fi more, but I don't like lasers. Like in Fallout, the bullet weapons are better than the laser ones

 

[Aardvark]

Sci Fi.

I prefer Technology over Magic. In RPGs, I always go a fighter or, if the bastards haven't passed a decree outlawing Gunpowder, someone with a gun. Magic is for cowards and women.

Though I do love Steampunk, even with a taint of magic. There needs to be more Arcanum.

I prefer plasma-based weapons. Green balls of energised particles that splash around a target, burning from all sides. A focused energy beam is too orderly for me.

 

[blackcherry]

I would prefer a mix. Looks like a lot of people would too. Good thing a 40K game is coming on eh?

 

[jonnnney]

You cant beat a good space battle, but for RPG's I'd rather go with fantasy.

Well Fallout3 won me over and i haven't sold it like i did oblivion, so scifi, and i must say i do heartily agree with the chap i have quoted below

I like sci-fi more, but I don't like lasers. Like in Fallout, the bullet weapons are better than the laser ones

 

[PersianLlama]

I prefer fantasy themed settings, but I thought Fallout 3 was a much better game than Oblivion.

 

[Powerhelix]

I say Oblivion... Even After playing Fallout, and beating it... And having beaten Oblivion...
I find myself reaching for Oblivion well before I go for Fallout

 

[ffxfriek]

i like sci fi though i also like fantasy. please make a new option for both. though i do understand that you probably won't.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

I have one word for this topic: Shadowrun.

Anyway, I personally prefer Sci-fi, though it is an incredibly close call. I still enjoy spaceships and blasters over swords and spells, though. That, and most of my childhood involved Star Wars and Star Fox (And D&D). It's just in my blood, I suppose.
