By the way, anyone know how I can sell my steam-downloaded copy of Shadow of Chumpchange?

STALKER isn't an RPG, never been dubbed one, it just has some RPG elements. Maybe not officially, but the fans talk about it like it's an RPG and nothing but. And when it comes to "officially", as far as I know I've never heard anything about this series from official sources anyway. And...

I won't be trying the Shadow of Copycat russian game. I bought and played the first one a year or so back and was unimpressed. I personally don't believe action games with RPG elements have any need to exist. But I'm not a fan of action games so maybe that's understandable? Anyway, adding...

I don't agree it's a good recipe for a game! It worked in Everquest mainly because Everquest actually invested a lot of thought into trying to provide believable reasons why those critters were hanging around waiting to be killed. The "respawn" time was also about 15 as I recall. Add to that the...

As if there aren't enough formerly decent game franchises being turned into boring online games. I honestly think the only thing that keeps online gaming afloat at all is that there is an endless supply of newly minted 12 year olds who have not yet gotten burned out on the ridiculous "kill...

Bethesda. For Morons. By Morons. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35998711@N08/3753304774/

Iron Tower? That's the "Age of Decadence" game, right? http://gamebanshee.com/editorials/ageofdecadencejtz1.php#null Looks like a good game engine, but I'm basing that entirely on those screenshots! I've been hearing about this game for years but as far as I know there isn't even a demo...

Anybody recognize this from 2001? :) http://www.volny.cz/lord_vader/vault/en/devchat150601.txt <Dan_Wood> Anyway, Let's start off with the big questions: Is There A Fallout 3 CURRENTLY being developed or on the docket to be developed? <BIS_Darren> At the moment no, Fallout 3 is not in...

The Western RPG is in a renaissance of popularity and creative richness right now, thanks to titles like BioWare's Mass Effect and Bethesda's Fallout 3. I personally found it very hard to read past that. How old is this interviewer? 12? I've been playing CRPGs since the 1980s and I can...

Maybe if Beth let CD PROJEKT take a stab... they made great use of the engine that Obsidian provided them with The Witcher and I would like to think that everything that was silly about the game came from the novels, but the art and system was nice. The Witcher was by far the best game to...

Mass Effect for the PC came out in 2008. You are technically correct about the Witcher, I suppose... so my list of decent games for 2008 just got shorter :( Eyenixon, Indies are practically the only lifeline for wargames these days, I assume you're not a fan? Depends what you mean by...

Brother None, Not as good doesn't mean bad. There's still great games out there, including on the PC, it's just not a torrent, more of a trickle, and many of us never had the time for the torrent anyway True. And 2008 was not a bad year, for the post 2000 PC game industry. I was fairly...

Which only speaks for the bad shape the whole block buster game industry just is in at the moment if a game like Fallout 3 can easily become the "best RPG of the year". ... Kinda depressing. Been that way way since about year 2000... not sure what you mean by "at the moment" lol. 1985 to 1993...

There are some seriously pig-headed folks on this website. You want to "win" arguments by setting up straw men, falling back on semantics, changing the terms of the discussion midway through, incorrect paraphrasing and a variety of other cheap tricks, have it it! You guys win. Enjoy... whatever...

BB, Now who's arguing semantics? Not me! :P Doom was one of the first games to make first-person shooters popular. That's like saying Dungeons & Dragons was one of the first games to make roleplaying games popular. And before you start lecturing me about the history of tabletop...

Hey SM, I like your style :) CV, Neither did Bethesda created the used engine. It was licenced as well. Like a lot of other parts they (still) use, like Speed Tree or the physic engine. Now you are arguing semantics. Not going there. What you count can be seen as well as "Fake...

UC, It's more about how much can be done with the rules in place and how many meaningful choices there which still means that Fallout 3 is simpler than Fallout 1&2 I agree with that. But the claim that was made was that new Bethesda games were simplified versions of old Bethesda games. I...

FPS, if you don't know the term's meaning, is an acronym for "first-person shooter". Not "z-axis shooter", not "whatever-I-want-it-to-be shooter", just plain "first-person shooter", which is a shooter that is mainly played from a first person perspective. It is also an acronym that didn't...

I said it was my last comment on the matter!! :shock: Doom had a z-axis in that everything wasn't on the same plane. That's one (but not the only one) of the main things that made it different from its predecessors.

UC, Yeah no, Doom was not the first FPS Yes, it was. Enough with your revision of computer game history. Catocombs 3D had no z-axis, and therefore is disqualified from consideration as an FPS. Even your own wikipedia link only claimed it was ARGUABLE the first FPS. Well, here I am...
