That is most likely a function of the nature of your own social circles, than it is a statement of the age of the average Fallout 1 player at the time. CRPGs always skewed older than average gamers. All of the Fallout fans that I personally know were adults when Fallout came out (which of...

Well, I bought Fallout 3 today. I generally don't preorder games. Mostly because I really don't like going to videogame-only stores. But I was at Best Buy today, during my lunch break, where I picked up Fable 2, and the Fallout 3 preorder was sitting on the shelf right next to it, so I figured...

Wizardry IV: The Retun Of Werdna. The hardest RPG of all time. There are lots of Atari, Coleco Vision, 80's arcade and even 8-bit games that are pretty insanely hard too, but a lot of that is more do to the clunky nature of the early industry than by design. Return of Werdna was designed...

Re: Ok, so what's the future like? Of course. That's just the nature of the hobby. My first upgrade was to play Ultima 7 and I've been needing upgrades in roughly two year intervals since then.

Honestly, they don't do this because it would only serve to show their customers just how boring and repetative the games are. The world of MMOs doesn't, and really can't, respond at all to your actions. All of them are just fetchquest, spawning mob, itemdrop, leveling treadmill, chatrooms...

Nah. The Majority, and complainers, always eventually get their way in MMORPGs. That's one of the big reasons they suck. Once you have people paying monthly subscriptions for your game, you change it to keep them p(L)aying

All well and good for Tim. I wish him well. Despite the criticism developers like Bethesda, Obsidian and Bioware are getting for dumbing down RPGs, I think the biggest factor in the RPG decline is MMORPGs. Anybody and everybody that might make an RPG is making MMORPGs instead. So, its a shame...

Without them having a complete design document of the game, they can not say what is broken and what is not, other than to just point out "bugs". Again, this doesn't tell you anything about the quality of the game, other than its relative level of bugginess. If you are saying that the design...

Well there's the trap that even you are guilty of falling into right there though, isn't it? How can it be objective and talk about "good" and "bad" which are subjective things? Game reviews are, and should be, subjective. They shouldn't be a lot different than movie reviews, or any other...

Age definitely plays a major role. My best moments are in the early & mid 80's of gaming. Building the robot in the sewers under Las Vegas, in Wasteland. Amateur Night in Autoduel Skara Brae in Ultima 5 The Giant battle against the zombies & skeletons in the beginning of Pools of Radiance...

Absolutely. I'm very excited for it, in fact, and will be getting it right away.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed And its awesomeness!

I enjoyed TOEE. I think its worth playing. With that said, Its a dungeon crawl without much of a story. I also felt it was far too short and, unlike a few others here, I didn't think it was very difficult at all. There were a couple battles that I had to replay, but that was about it. I...

As others have pointed out, its not just that the game industry has expanded, but life has dramatically changed for many gamers. At 33, now I have a wife and a baby, along with many other responsibilities I didn't have 10 years ago, let alone 25+ years ago when I started gaming. Part of...

I enjoyed Dead Rising a lot more than I did Resident Evil 4. I'm just not a fan of the type of games in the direction they are going with it. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Hopefully Capcom keeps going with the Dead Rising series, though, and I can get my zombie fix that way and...

Yes. GTA has cocaine, pot and more.

I agree that they improved the gameplay. But, I never played Resident Evil for the gameplay. Its all about the atmosphere. Turning off the lights, playing it late at night and setting myself up to actually be tense and on edge. RE: 4 improved the control, precision and gameplay. But the...

The virus infected are no longer zombies, or zombie-like, completely ruining the "horror" aspect of Resident Evil. The first village in 4 was good. The second disc had you fighting mostly soldiers with machine guns. I loved the series from Zero through Code Veronica...

Re: Fallout 3 Hands-On #11 Huh? What zombies? There are no more zombies in Resident Evil 4, or 5 (well. There's ONE zombie in RE 4)

Isn't the actual statement something like "No you can't. Well, maybe, but we didn't set out with that goal", followed with a debate between Todd and Emil about the viability of getting through a specific quest without combat? That seems to suggest that you can get through most of the main...
