DRM. This always online crap really scares me. Not only is it just morally wrong treating your customers with so much suspicion and contempt, but it could literally force me out of gaming. My connection isn't good, and there's no way I can play games with a connection required. And because my connection sucks, I can't pirate the games(you know, do a buy then pirate sort of deal). That, and I will not buy a game that, as I said, treats it's customers so badly.
People have told me "what, so your essentially going to stop buying/playing new games?"
Which my response is, well... yeah. There's a genuine danger of me being forced out of the hobby I love most. You bet your ass I'm going to vehemently oppose DRM. Especially always-online DRM.

Add on a developer that can actually test their games and it would be one amazing product.MiracleOfSound said:
In all honesty, people complaining about change.
Old School RPG were fun back in the day, but the formula to most of them is so outdated it's sheer nostalgia that is keeping that formula alive.
FPS being made more streamlined? Have you guys recently played a Doom or Duke Nukem? Sure, they are fun because they bring back old memories, but those can not hold their own weight. There is a reason that CoD is doing so well, and it's not based on sheer popularity. It's because it's pushed the FPS formula further.
Motion Control? They know it's a gimmick. Things like 3D and this repeat themselves every other ten years and never stick around. Don't worry about it.

The medium becoming censored or even banned because of what some overprotective parent thinks its doing to their kid. People are JUST dumb enough not to think that maybe if they have such a problem with the game they shouldn't let their kids play it, and these people will be the downfall of the industry.
That Myiamoto dies. Or Sakamoto. Or both. Basically, if any of my childhood (and teenage too) idols die sooner than their time, it worries me great series will never see a good enough conclusion (I know they're not always the ones behind it; Anouma plays a BIG part in Zelda, for example, but... you know...)
You do realise New Vegas is set in...Vegas. People lose money from gambling all the time, you could earn a whole bunch of caps and lose it all in seconds.Vault101 said:
There are some people who like a little bit of politics in their stories, New Vegas had lots of political and societal aspects in its story compared to Fallout 3, and it was a really nice change from the FEV story that F1, 2, BoS and 3 had. New Vegas did something different while still remaining true to the Fallout lore and sense of rebuilding civilisation.
If Fallout 3 was set maybe c. 50 years after the Great War it may have made more sense for everyone to be some begger trying hard to get by, but it wasn't, it was 200 years after the Great War, the people of the East Coast really need to pick up their game.
And why does everyone seem to think that New Vegas was trying to capture the feel of Fallout 3? It clearly wasn't, if it was then I don't think they would've set the game around Vegas, a bustling and energy fed city being fought over by growing civilisations.
oh for crying out loud...ChupathingyX said:
1. I am NOT saying FO3 was better than FNV (I think hardcore mode would have been alot more hardcore in FO3)
2. the story in FNV was good, and probably one of the best examples of morality in games, aside from the obvious (NCR vs Legion) YOU had to decide what was right or wrong
HOWEVER also liked FO3 story because it was very personal and emotional, its personal preference
3. I guess you could put that down to DC being a really shitty area...like (no offence) Africa STILL has tons of problems for alot of reasons, also for better or worse it felt more desperate,
4. no one is saying that, its just preference..both worlds are different apples and oranges
Yeah, it was. Victor alone was funnier than everything in Fallout 3.Vault101 said:
Though the problem is that Fallout 3 managed to be too serious, and then didn't make any sense. I don't mind a setting that's played straight, but I do mind if it doesn't make any sense.
The entire main story in Fallout 3 is a big (unintentional) joke, and not a funny one.
The only thing that worries me is when game companies treat their products as money makers instead of works of art. Think about it; on an intellectual level, our games have not surpassed the average B movie. Granted, we are still a young industry, but the people making games have to pretend that their audience is intelligent. I'm not saying that graphics nor gameplay should be tuned down so that the attention can go to writing; I believe that all three can co-exist on equal levels. More companies just need to know that we are not immature; we are adults who can handle stories deeper than being a lone space marine against impossible odds whom may or may not be looking for a girlfriend.
What are you talking about? That sounds like the best game ever!ChupathingyX said:
OT: DD being the standard form of getting games. Dear readers, the day I can no longer get rid of games I no longer wish to possess is the day I will give up gaming. I'm not paying for ones and zeroes if you're the one controlling both.
If you ban an Xbox from live, that person still has their games.
Ban someone from Steam? Say "Bye Bye" to all that content. (At least that's how I'm told it works)
The person that you and I quoted said:Vault101 said:
New Vegas was not trying to be like Fallout 3, and comments like this confuse me because of it. It just shows how little research people put in when it comes to discussing these kinds of things. Fallout is an expansive universe and offers a large amount of discussion, however, to have a good discussion I feel (and I assume others too) that before entering you should be prepared and have a good knowledge of the subject.
uh huh...my badChupathingyX said:
however mabye that really ment was said person just found the the atmosphere in FO3 more compelling than NV for those reasons, in a similar way that I am more likeley to find a sci fi setting more compelling than a high fantasy one
I found CERTAIN things in FO3 more compelling than NV..but thats just personal preference, in the end I cant really decide which game I liked better (probably NV, only because it has less faults...but more glitches)
but in the end I like both games
