Deraldin Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Different people have different tastes. I prefer the title of the game to have something relating to the game itself. Obviously, you guys don't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never said that I don't prefer the title to relate to the game (how many games have titles that aren't in some way related to the game anyway? ), but the title isn't a deal breaker by a long shot.

alanschu Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Good games = good games. If you were to title Fallout "Bwatibatta" instead, it'd still be the same great game that was Fallout. Edited January 24, 2007 by alanschu
Llyranor Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Hades must have been one of those people who didn't buy PST because the boxart sucked. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Sand Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Nope. I bought it because I love the Planescape setting and also I didn't think the box art sucked.

alanschu Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I bought it because I heard it was a good game.
Llyranor Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I bought it because I thought the game would have ugly naked men. I'm glad it wasn't misleading. Imagine if it were Morrowind with guns ROFLTUNASANDWICH (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Sand Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I bought it because I heard it was a good game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bought it (the 2 CD version) a second time because it was a good game.

Volourn Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I bought it because it used the IE, and I buy *most* D&D games. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Sand Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) So do I. The only 6 DnD games I haven't bought were Demonstone, POoR 2, BGDA 2, Descent to Undermountain, Blood and Magic, and Dragonshard. Yes, I bought Hillsfar.

Dark_Raven Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 RPG dogs in general tend to be totally sweet. I remember Pariah from Fallout 2. Bad dog, baaad dog!.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I shot that dog on sight. Not going to jinx me. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Dark_Raven Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I bought it because it used the IE, and I buy *most* D&D games. R00fles! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was suckered into buying it, thinking it would be great because it was an IE game. Than reality set in when I played it, it sucked. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
alanschu Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 The D&D games I have gotten are the Baldur's Gates, Icewind Dales, Planescape: Torment, and an old Silver Pack that had a multitude of games, which I got because I was a big fan of the original Eye of the Beholder.
Sand Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I still think that the best DnD console game is still Warriors of the Eternal Sun. BGDA can't touch it. :D Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer. @\NightandtheShape/@ - "Because you're a bizzare strange deranged human?"

Volourn Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 "still think that the best DnD console game is still Warriors of the Eternal Sun. BGDA can't touch it. " I like BGDA myself; but I do agree that WotES is the best console D&D game ever. In fact, though it's not the best 'role-playing game' it showed taht even in the older days; consoles can *easily* have a more 'Western' stype CRPGness to them. It was a fun game. :joy: DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
213374U Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, but it wouldn't be Fallout.It will be Fallout. They own the license, you don't. End of thread. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Darque Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, but it wouldn't be Fallout.It will be Fallout. They own the license, you don't. End of thread. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Winner!
Shadowstrider Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yes, it does. A name sets the initial mood and expectations. Would you buy a game that is destined to be the best over named Crappy Dog Manure? I know I wouldn't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does it hurt?
Sand Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, but it wouldn't be Fallout.It will be Fallout. They own the license, you don't. End of thread. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, they may own the license but they also want to make money off of that license which makes them dependent on the gamers they seek to sell this game to.

If it isn't Fallout enough then I will not buy it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For good or ill, I'm afraid your type are the minority...a very small, vocal minority. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Sand Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 What? That I want a Fallout game out of a game called Fallout? Well, if that is a minority then I am wondering what the hell is wrong with people.

jaguars4ever Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 To be honest, I'm not too confident about Fallout 3: Morrowind with Guns. If Bethsoft do any of the following, then I'll probably think twice before buying it: -Forcing a first person perspective without the option of going 3rd person or isometric; -Forcing real time combat without the option of playing turned based; -Using a wiki style dialogue without any discernible conversational options.

I still think that Bethesda bought Fallout license, because they wanted to do something different from Elder Scroll series.
