    People complaining Elder Scrolls online isn't Elder Scrolls

    Anyone else see the huge amount of irony in the complaints about the change of art style, gameplay mechanics, camera settings (third person instead of first), and general atmosphere of Elder Scrolls Online making it seem more like a generic WoW clone than part of the Elder Scrolls...

    How would you reboot an existing franchise into a new genre?

    A lot of classic games are in the process of taking the hollywood road of "remake but for a target audience" and obviously this upsets fans of the franchises original roots. So I pose a question for you, what franchise or individual game would you reboot, and how would you do it? The only...

    Ctrl+Alt+Defeat and Destructoid on 'War Never Changes'

    Ctrl+Alt+Defeat discusses Fallout's iconic catchphrase in their latest issue, a one-page treatise that concludes no constant is to be found in the games making it an empty phrase. Destructoid responds.<blockquote>All of this is contextualized with history itself. “The Romans waged war to...

    What are the requirements for "Game of the Year"?

    Because honestly, I see ab out 4-5 titles every year that end up releasing a "Game of the Year edition" at some future point. Rather than simply calling it like "Complete Edition"(if it includes all the DLC) or something along those lines. I dunno why this trend bothers me, but it just seems...

    Will Obsidian make another FO?

    Given the success of New Vegas, I'd like to hope that Bethesda decides to make Obsidian into their 'go to' team for the Fallout franchise and concentrate on being a publisher and creating their Elder Scrolls series. The other question is: assuming Obsidian is handed over the keys to the FO...

    Just cause its BETTER doesn't make NV perfect...

    So what kind of stupidity / illogical / immersion breaking things have you come across in the game? Try to avoid outright BUGS in the game. [spoiler:1474c61343]Why was I able to suggest to Private Edwards that he should talk to Astor about rejoining the NCR before I've even met Astor? How...

    Todd Howard on Mario's 25th aniversery.

    Fallout 2161's website has gone live

    Some of you may recall about a year ago when this project was started under the name 'fallout3mod' well we have been making SOME headway but the project was put on hiatus until New Vegas was released as we felt that the changes implemented into NV would make us have to do less work (and we were...

    The Game That Wasn’t There

    Kotaku hosts on op-ed piece about the current crop of western RPGs compared to those of yore.<blockquote>I have lamented the fading of turn-based gameplay before, but I have to reiterate how galling I find its absence in Western RPGs. I play RPGs when I want a break from fast-action and...

    Favorite CONSOLE Rpgs

    I know, the idea of a console based RPG puts a bad taste in many peoples mouths here. But I'm sure there are a handful of good ones out there (Bards Tale/Wasteland for example were on commodore.) So what are some of your favorite RPGs that were on consoles? Many of my favorites are JRPGs...

    Swing Era/Big Band music and Fallout

    Music from the 30s-50s are pretty strongly tied to Fallout, despite the fact that in the original 2 fallouts there is (as far as I know) only a song in the opening. Fallout 3 had a station, that you could listen to some songs but there was only a couple that I really liked. What songs from...

    Super Mutants

    Ok, so in FO2 the majority of the supermutants are dying off, correct? Flash forward 80 years and a couple thousand miles and there is a new breed of supermutants created by another experiment with the FEV virus that apparently was going on (regardless of how brain hemorragingly stupid that plot...
