I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan Send a noteboard - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM
I think it's a despicably terrible game. The level-scaling completely broke it, not to mention the bland enviroments and severely dumbed-down skill and inventory systems. It was just atrocious. Easily one of the worst games of the generation.
What did you see in it?

I can see why you didn't like Fallout 3. It was really boring. Another half-ass job from Bethesda, coasting on decent graphics. At least it wasn't broken like Oblivion was. These sorts of games turned me to torrenting, frankly.

Why didn't you like torchlight? Too monotonous?



Any suggestions?

Games I loved: Morrowind, Mass Effect
Games I enjoyed: Oblivion, Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2
Games I disliked: Fallout 3, Torchlight

If I have to, I'll play KotR. Thinking about getting Fable: The Lost Chapters.

I have the Witcher waiting at home for me to install next week Stephen - 13/01/2011 08:59:45 PM 1288 Views
Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:38:15 AM 1410 Views
If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:07:12 PM 1390 Views
All right. I'll give it a shot, then. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:17:17 PM 838 Views
Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called. Aemon - 14/01/2011 09:56:56 PM 1421 Views
It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series. Legolas - 15/01/2011 01:13:39 PM 1420 Views
I've heard that, yeah. I just don't think enough of it made it into the game. (minor spoilers) Aemon - 15/01/2011 08:12:34 PM 1361 Views
The thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a game. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:15:10 PM 1443 Views
Wow, I guess you touched a nerve, Legolas. New pet peeve discovered! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:22:37 PM 845 Views
I don't have time to do this justice, but I'll make a brief comment. Aemon - 18/01/2011 09:30:20 PM 1405 Views
Did you read his post? lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 09:59:21 PM 1394 Views
Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. Aemon - 18/01/2011 10:31:46 PM 1376 Views

So I just realized I sparked a bit of a controversy here... I should check this board more often. Legolas - 25/01/2011 10:28:34 PM 1259 Views

Do yourself a favor... A Deathwatch Guard - 13/01/2011 10:39:41 PM 1374 Views
Everything is the opposite of Morrowind, though. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:37:42 AM 1502 Views
Just go ahead and shoot yourself now A Deathwatch Guard - 14/01/2011 07:51:06 PM 1374 Views
...you were so right. Fable is an MMORPG without the other people. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:35:46 AM 1396 Views
...dislikes...Fallout...3....*dies* *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2011 11:34:10 PM 821 Views
It was boring. Really, really boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:36:41 AM 1442 Views
I'm with you, brother! beetnemesis - 14/01/2011 05:51:41 AM 1411 Views

No... Jacob - 14/01/2011 03:47:22 PM 1545 Views
It's minecraft with guns. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:23 PM 824 Views
And without a destructible environment. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:52 PM 1326 Views
Yet... Jacob - 15/01/2011 01:27:28 AM 1331 Views
I enjoyed its gameplay more than Fallout. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:40:06 AM 1401 Views
The best story I've ever seen... A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 05:01:47 AM 1389 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1427 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1248 Views
"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM* ianski - 19/01/2011 04:09:30 AM 807 Views
Coming from me, actually, that's higher praise than it deserves. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:54:57 AM 1378 Views
I got it for like $25, I'd say that's about what Fallout 3 is worth beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 05:09:34 PM 1487 Views
You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25 Jacob - 19/01/2011 06:12:26 PM 1326 Views
Fallout 3. Haven't played New Vegas. *NM* beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:41:24 PM 813 Views
Jacob - 19/01/2011 09:01:18 PM 1377 Views
Wait. You haven't played it yet? ianski - 20/01/2011 03:46:17 AM 1395 Views
Well said ironclad - 20/01/2011 08:43:25 AM 1334 Views
Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM 1415 Views
Precisely. *NM* ironclad - 20/01/2011 07:48:21 PM 810 Views
Both games are great. Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:56:14 PM 1337 Views
Played Fallout 3, but not NV. Ghavrel - 20/01/2011 06:22:33 PM 1306 Views
I'm sure I'll be trying that new ianski - 21/01/2011 02:04:47 PM 1467 Views
Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game. Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 06:43:16 PM 1415 Views
Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO. Zalis - 21/01/2011 11:57:26 PM 1443 Views
PC gaming is drying up. ianski - 22/01/2011 01:29:09 AM 1337 Views
That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 06:50:32 AM 1439 Views
ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off. Zalis - 22/01/2011 03:27:05 PM 1272 Views
Fallout 3 was a post apocalyptic Oblivion. MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:02:28 AM 1433 Views
If you want a GREAT story, I would go for... MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:04:15 AM 1435 Views
I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:09:29 PM 1363 Views
Played it. It was good. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:15:38 PM 824 Views
the baldur's gate trilogy and the icewind dales *NM* Foxhead - 14/01/2011 09:32:32 AM 764 Views
Icewind Dale has no story. Fanatic-Templar - 14/01/2011 07:19:15 PM 1367 Views
I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM 1435 Views
I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:31:51 AM 1271 Views
Do you know about "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"? It will be released Nov 2011 *NM* Roland00 - 15/01/2011 04:52:13 AM 773 Views
The trailer to that is so awesome A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 04:58:04 AM 1313 Views
It is a good teaser... Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:21:15 PM 1356 Views
I do. But after Oblivion, I refuse to buy into hype. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:34:49 AM 1361 Views
Final Fantasy 8. Nebhead - 18/01/2011 09:10:51 AM 1518 Views
That was the first FF I quit before even finishing, and consequently the last I played in the series Zalis - 18/01/2011 03:23:40 PM 1384 Views
I wouldn't even call JRPGs and Western RPGs the same genre, really. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 19/01/2011 02:45:17 PM 758 Views
Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella. Zalis - 19/01/2011 03:11:41 PM 1316 Views
Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM 1412 Views
Worth a shot. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/01/2011 06:07:23 PM 790 Views
If you're going the Final Fantasy route, I'd recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/01/2011 06:36:02 PM 762 Views
ianski - 21/01/2011 02:14:41 PM 1359 Views
The gameplay or the story? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/01/2011 06:24:06 AM 799 Views
Gameplay is preventing me from playing this game. ianski - 23/01/2011 03:09:39 PM 1418 Views
Go SNES! FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound... beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:42:23 PM 1293 Views
I can agree to that. Fanatic-Templar - 19/01/2011 08:03:59 PM 1429 Views
A suggestion we can all agree on. Zalis - 19/01/2011 08:07:54 PM 1408 Views
Holy. Fanatic-Templar - 21/01/2011 08:17:35 PM 1398 Views
What do you think of Strategy RPGs? *NM* Roland00 - 20/01/2011 03:59:52 PM 765 Views
wat *NM* Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 04:13:07 AM 675 Views
