Back then almost all games were isometric so it was easy to get into it. I believe they had trouble because they grew up playing first person 3D games.

Same thing happened with adventure games, their elements were absorbed by other genres over time as well. Although the genre was declared dead many times, luckily it managed to revive itself thanks to the faithful audience. Let's hope same thing happens for cRPGs.

Half-Life 2 looked good on the screen as well so it really means nothing in the end. I find it funny that they gave F3 a slight advantage because of excessive bloom.

I love Adventure games more than any other genre and played a dozen of those. Neither one of the two you mentioned qualifies as an adventure so it's not fair to call them Adventure-RPGs. Basically, anything with character customization is called RPG today so once you remove that from the...

I agree. The xenomorph, yes well... it seems that with every advancement in game technology, the hostile aliens are moving faster and faster for no apparent reason.

Every so little, I recognize that some movies played major part for some games, especially in the art department (world setting, the feeling it gives across). I'm not saying that this is true, but I can't shake the feeling that I am right even a little. So, at the top of my head, here are some...

I think everybody's excited about the game for well... various reasons and with different feelings.

The problem might be the absence of customer's signature. In the future, digital signatures might play a big role in this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProCD_v._Zeidenberg Yes, I was referring to this as well.

If you clicked "I agree", EULA will probably hold up in court unless it's overruled (partially or in its entirety) by an existing law(s).

I always wondered... Do you go to school to become a game journalist or do you play and think/write a lot about the games so you kind of start like that? I mean there are bad journalists out there, but some of the people calling themselves game journalists... I don't even know where to start...

Great. SPECIAL sucks now since it's more like DnD than anything else. Another good system bites the dust. Duke Nukem is the greatest. Everything else is hand-holding, emotional porn.

I like the concept art very much. I always thought what was the pre-War world like and honestly, it turned out pretty much the same as I imagined it would. I think that's more because the world is designed after real life Washington than anything else. That's the main reason it's more...

His (p)review is the total opposite of everything written by other magazines which is ludicrous. It's like everybody's saying Jacko's white while he's saying black. Why am I a part of this sick marketing game? I wonder how will his opinion change by then :lol:

Couldn't they "fix" the situation with a contract annex? If Interplay overlooked it they should have addressed it through annex with Bethesda and not via cross-complaint. This Herve guy never thinks twice about what he's doing. Leave Interplay alone! :cry: :lol:

Think of turn-based in chess terms (presuming you know chess rules). Anything else is not turn-based, so you shouldn't refer to it like it is.

I find it hard to believe he wrote the original "false, baseless accusations" without any reason. He must have suffered some sort of backlash and was angered enough to share it with the rest of the world. There must be a logical reason behind his hate. But then again if his credibility as a...

I'm glad you got a refund because quality didn't meet your standards. That's full customer service for you. About addiction... Well, I had enough of addicts for one lifetime, lost all sympathy for them. Maybe if someone gave them a shovel and made them do manual labor they wouldn't have a...

EULA means you're agreeing to some conditions as a customer so the best thing you can do (in case the game doesn't deliver for you) is to sell it, throw the disc out on the street or sit and cry. You could get a refund but only if you didn't accept EULA in the first place. EULA basically...

My, I am surprised what passes under a review these days.

Unfortunately that's exactly the opposite of how it works. Earned money will be "taken" by Zenimax's board of directors and redistributed among other offices, Bethesda being only one of them. If they're really good, their yearly budget may go up by 15%. Gamers feel exploited because they are...
