The Star Trek fan base is much of niche in the gaming community, and the devs. and publishers need to understand that. If they (as bethsoft and mad doc) seem to think that they can expand the fanbase by 'dumbing' down the star trek games, and by making them appeal (more) to the 'console...

I'm sorry --- but market history does support the statement that 'turnbased combat doesn't sell, at least in rpgs'. Let me re-iterate: Arcanum, Pool of Radiance, and TOOE failed miserably. Why did they fail ? The market (meaning the publishers) thought it was because of the turnbased...

I'm sorry :( --- but I really didn't know that SPECIAL was intended to be used with the turnbased setting in FO1+FO2. The SPECIAL system, to me at least, is a way the fallout games handled the abilities and stats in the game while the turnbased combat system was used to handle the combat...

I'm sorry --- I can't. The only thing I can do is to disprove this.... as statement or hypothesis or theory (in scientific terms) only can be DISproven. (as pr. mr. Karl Popper's statements on science). The only way of doing this, is to make a turnbased rpg game. Sadly :( --- I do not...

I really wish someone would make a turn-based rpg and publish it as indie publisher. Then we truly would see if an rpg with turnbased combat could be a big hit or not... And by a big HIT, I mean selling over 1,000,000 copies or maybe 2 mill. copies, not just 100,000 or 200,000 copies, or...

First, let me say that I'm not English, I'm Danish... ;) . (I'm guessing you're Dutch or German ??). In Danish we have 'anledning til' or 'tale om' (reden?). I agree that if you have found your niche, say turn-based game, then you should stay there (probably). The loyal fans will always...

Ok, then. Say Bethsof decided to make FO3 a game with turnbased combat ?? And the game is a big hit. It is then because of the turnbased combat only ?? Or could it be that is maybe had something to do with the settings in the game, the quests, the story or something like that ...

@ kharn Sorry, I haven't adressed your posts, but here it goes, then: As for this: "...the competition is CREATED if Fallout 3 is a real-time game that throws itself into the same market as Prey or Halo 2. The competition isn't inherently there and is not there for a turnbased trueform...

If I wanted to play a turnbased game, I would play chess. This is a very intelligent game, in which you actually have to think ahead and plan both tactically and strategically - for the future. In a turnbased game, be it an rpg or otherwise, you'd need to do the same. This combat appeals to...

I have been active on the TES forums, voicing my criticism of Oblivion. I have also witnessed people with similar views to mine being banned, their threads being closed and much more. Sadly, :( it seems, Bethesda doesn't seem to care anymore about what their (loyal) fans has to say about...

I think it was me that sparked this debate (I'm aries100 at rpgwatch and at DaC) when I made some comment about DaC, the Codex, and this site (ducks flyting rotten tomates...) being in favor of turnbased combat. I made a comment about how turnbased comment wasn't being marketable in today's...

"the medieval muslim world where they cut off young girl's clits and force them to be illiterate until they visit the grave that bears their name." (page 1, qoute Alec qoute om Nov 28th 2006). This clearly means that the issue of female circumcision has been brought up as well as the Alec...

The point I was trying to make (when I was very tired last night) was that you can't take Islam, or Judaism or Christianity and say that it isn't ISlam etc. which is behind the mutilation of the little girls in Africa. Men interpret the bible, the toran, and the koran as they please, quoting...

Let me just start by clearing up a popular misconception or misunderstanding: Islam is NOT behid the female circumcision, the local culture in Africa is. Even people who are good devout Christians, and people who believe in the traditional religions of Africa gets this done. The reason for...

At least now we sort of now from where the inspiration to those pesky slaugtherfish in Morrowind did came.... To me, this frilled shark looks kind of like the slaugtherfish ;) . More seriously, there is still a lot a species deep in the shallow waters of the ocean we haven't discovered...
