oh, I liked SA but I thought GTA 4 was better. as a matter of fact GTA is the only series where I equally enjoy all the games. I'd suggest GTA 4 to the OP

I tried CWoW, the grinding killed me. I mean, to enjoy all of the dungeons and stuff you have to keep leveling up, and that's a drag

wow, that's a great title for a game I installed 6 patches in total, this community thing being the last. but I guess I should erase the game before it does some permanent damage to my psychic health.

and I just installed Gothic 3 because people kept saying, "man, this is the best RPG since Fallout 2!" it IS demanding though, demands resourses... I played Starcraft 2 on high graphical settings and it was ok. then I start up Gothic 3 and it's a freeze-fest all of a sudden. wtf?

ok, you win, I vote IWD2

video let's plays are no fun

so, it has to be a game where you have the option to make the whole party?

I liked Hordes of Underdark. it was short and had that Planescape: Torment vibe to it. oh and you had the option not to fight the final boss, gets brownie points

I thought FNV already is an expansion to F3 oh, oddly enough I didn't see it that way. to me it looked like a preview to a hatchet-job and bugs-shmugs, there's nothing a few patches can't fix. I'm more concerned about bad game design.

so it's gonna be a fantasy Alien Swarm. I welcome the idea

well, I don't see how the word 'brilliant' applies here. X-Com was brilliant. KOTOR sure wasn't. but that's not the point. it's like F3 or Oblivion didn't have any. Bethesda is just as notorious as obsidian when it comes to bugs. Bioware seem to be paying more attention to polishing their games. which still doesn't give Stuart Young the right to claim Obsidian games are just this one big disaster. he's obviously biased and frankly the whole article is just bs. it had been pointed out before, when the game was announced. why bring it all up now? I agree with the above: he's an attention-whore

oh man, this Stuart Young character is talking out of his ass. I mean wtf is this:

oh? I think Blizzard actually is trying too hard to make it an instant classic. with the UI and the graphics resembling D2 this much and all

bleh, I never used VATS after I hit 20, there wasn't really any point in it.

I don't even remember F3 having perks and I've played through it 2 times.

don't you get perks every 3 levels in F2? or it's just that trait, Skilled or w/e? anyway, every 2 levels is too often imo

fed ex quests aren't that bad if done right. but nobody seems to know how to do 'em right nowadays

not that hardcore (although I have to confess the New Vegas hardcore mode intrigues me, I'm gonna switch it on as soon as I install the game, I don't care if it's bugged and spoils my fun, it's just something I wanted in a RPG for a long time now). anyway, I want a difficult game without companions and without endless dungeons. something like Morrowind but harder and with more dialogues, more alternative ways of solving problems, completing quests and missions. that snippet of their engine they showed in the first video tells us the game will probably give a lot of options when tackling it's challenges. then again I didn't like the sequence in the beginning when you have to get out of the cell. it's like the designers try to rub your face in their scripts, "you can free yourself right now but you better wait for them to come to you unarmed, maybe try to provoke 'em and, oh, look there's two options available: free yourself and provoke". I'm afraid this is what the whole game will be like: sure, you have options, but there's always this one which you should pick because that's how we designed it to be handled.

I don't know... overall the game looks good, but the location in the demo - this castle - makes you wonder... I heard the developers say "hardcore rpg" at some point. I hope this means what I think it means.

I think they're trying to say that the whole process, the gaming experience is so similar to modern MMORP games. when in the past MMO meant running around grinding mobs to get 100 lvl ups, today thanks to world of warcraft it's more like "get to a location - grab all the quests (fed-ex/farming/boss-monster) - complete all the quests, get a few lvl ups as a result - move to a new location - rinse and repeat". and that's exactly how modern fantasy RPGs look and play. when you think about it, older games have more of the same, but they kinda were the only ones back then. now that we have Guild Wars and WoW, and god knows what else, buying a single-player RPG just to receive the exact same thing is kinda stupid. personally I expect a lot more from modern AAA(AAAAA)-RPG titles. instead it's the same kind of old-school BS. game designers should know better.

oh yes you can. you know how people steal the WoW sourse code and build their own servers? well try playing on one of those. it's a single-player MMO. anyway, Diablo 2 could somewhat be called a single-player MMO, because it has both options: to play alone or in a party. P.S.: to tell you the truth I'd kill for a chance to play a single-player version of Final Fantasy 11, the missions there are kick-ass

I have more faith in Torchlight 2 now, jeez. I liked the early gameplay footage so much, and now I see this video and it just doesn't click

oh wow... I am speechless. Diablo 3 actually looks like **** now compared to what I remember seeing a year ago when they introduced barbarian. it's so sad

and good riddance

Volo isn't a troll, he's troll-bait, hanging on a hook. it's just that nobody ever bites and Volo's become really bored
