Fallout 3, A disturbing rumor

[Lockeownzj00]

Demon, I understand your plight, but as a general rule of thumb it's good to not be conservative. As a games-enthusiast, I can tell you the amount of amazing, innovative, solid adn even epic games released on a monthly basis, from professional, underground, and indie developers alike is astonishing. A lot of the perception that no good games exist anymore is the predispoed desire to not see any.

Games, like all things, evolved. There is a place for progressive forms of old-school play. If you restrict yourself to mass hype you will only know about 1/4th of the games out there--I'm not saying you do, but a lot of people just don't really know what games are coming out anymore.

So, what do you do? It's not 1980 anymore. It's not 1985, 1990, 1995...unfortunately time goes on. We can hearken back to better times all we want, but we're only going to tackle our own demons if we want to change.

I am a moderate in gaming's case. I play old and new games, PC and console, it doesn't matter to me. And it's not even in a jack-of-all-trades way, I mean, suffice to say, I'm a pretty hardcore gamer. The experience becomes all the better when you want to have fun and don't find fault. I'm not saying your concerns aren't valid, because there is a fair amount of mainstream shit churned out these days--but not necessarily more than it used to be.

We're beating a dead horse, I suppose. None of us wants to see Fallout ruined, but I feel the same way as I did before Metroid Prime came out--while everyone was up in arms I was honestly interested in what they could do. And what did they do? Was that not a very good game? Was it not true to the Metroid style of exploration? Yes, there was action. There's action in Fallout, too. Would it be cool if Fallout 3 were like Metroid Prime, a perfect blend? I think so.

I figure it this way:

You want to play Fallout, go and pick it up for about $10 bucks. Make a mod when you love the game. But always be prepared for something different in the future editions of it. If it doesn't have what you're looking for, there's probably 3 games that do.

I'd love to say I played Deus Ex but Half-Life is the game for me. I don't know if it was bastardized for the consoles but as soon as the new game systems come out, I'm playing the old stuff. Why? I'm a cheap one. And when new games come out, the old ones are much less in terms of royalties and everything else. Soooo... Here comes Beyond Good & Evil, Ico, Shenmue II, Fallout II, etc. when it's about $9 bucks.

Uhm... Next time, it's best to post about the topic. A few numbers usually = spam in these here parts. If it's a review, why not talk about it a liiitle bit more?

I think he meant the games 4$, not 10.

Ah, ok. My mistake. Just didn't know what exactly he was referring to.
