Well frustrating because you make mistakes is different from frustrating due to the game cheating you or something along those lines. People enjoy a challenge, I guess, makes winning it over all the more sweeter.

I'm interested in DS only if it has real substance. If its only claim to fame is a high difficulty, then who cares.

Doubt they're more difficult than Severance: Blade of Darkness and Die by the sword.

The problem is people making mistakes and blaming the game for it

e.g: "Well if that monster hadn't fought me so close to the edge I wouldn't had fell..grrrr"

It's only fun if you are also allowed to fail.

 

Either way, something new: Crytek gonna announce a new big console and PC title next month.

Leads me to thinking now that ME3 would have been a perfect game to reintroduce the concept of the losing path. Fail a key mission and deal with the consequences instead of being made to reload.

Yeah, failing paths in campaigns would be neat to see, sort of like WC, but I forget if those were final or if you had a way of getting back to the victory path. Heh, in ME3 you could have timed flashpoints you respond to and fail/succeed and that affects the tide of the war in a "realtime" fashion.

I like the Equilibrium bit at the end.

In WC1 there were paths to the winning route up to the third-last "bad" mission set. Wing Commander 2 was similar but I forget the detail. Wing Commander 3 was pretty harsh with being able to go on the unwinnable path from relatively early on.

Wasteland 2 interview on Rock, Paper, Shotgun

John Romero wants to make an old-school FPS.

 

 

 

"I got this idea for years, it's about these big badass monsters with boobs that are gonna invade Earth and steal our chicks or something, but there's definitely gonna be boobs, that's for sure."

First Dishonored footage

I've got to say Dishonored looks very promising. I hope the choices on how to tackle missions are good and not just empty talk.

Spec Ops: The Line trailer

 

Gears of War gameplay meets some war drama bull****. Not sure what to think of it yet, but maybe it's gonna be a positive surprise.

Man-boobs, amirite?

Does anyone actually want to play a game made by Romero? Maybe in 1996 but in 2012? I doubt it.

But he'll make us his bitch.

Romero looks like a bloated Itagaki.

Nice he also uses a picture of his Romanian bride on his mousepad.

That sounds great.

 

But, even though I've already put aside my 100 bucks for that, I get this strange worry (which I cannot even fully explain), that they might "overdo" the oldschool in their oldschool RPG.

 

What a creep.

You know there's a forum where they discuss this stuff. If you're worried about the design be too dated go there and tell them, complaining here about your feeling won't really accomplish much. You have the chance to communicate with the team directly, use it!

I am a part of that that forum. And I'm not really complaining as there's nothing to base such on, just commenting on the subject since you posted the link.

So Wasteland will ultimately be another revision of old skool Fallout?

Does anyone actually want to play a game made by Romero? Maybe in 1996 but in 2012? I doubt it.

 

Boobs? Badass? Monsters? Guns? It actually might do well!

"Dishonored is a first-person action game"

 

why didn't you say so in the first place... next!
