I love RPG games. It very odd that many people seems to suggest that Fallout 3 is like Oblivion. I have not seen any similarity between the two; or perhaps I am watching the wrong trailer.

Oblivion and Fallout 3 were both developed by Bethesda and both run on the same engine. If you play both, you'll see the similarities in the way characters are modeled, how the terrain is modeled and textured, how the combat works (aside from VATS), how the inventory system works, etc.

The games I list aren't any I've played, I just dont understand the appeal. I really dont like any MMO/RPG games at all so just put that there.

-World of Warcraft

-Bioshock

-Final Fantasy

-FEAR

-Oblivion

-Crysis

Now I'm off to play through my rental of Heavy Rain :)

Bioshock. Its actually good. I'm just not good at RPG/FPS type games.

WoW. It bores me.

Go kill those monsters. Deliver this note to blah blah. Kill these monsters and bring back blah blah. Find this random place. Protect this random person.

Did I mention you do these things about 50+ times before you reach the level cap?

Strange thing is... I really enjoy Diablo.

Also, StarCraft/WarCraft RTS has never been my thing...

Easy.

Turn-Based, all actions are selected through menus, and there are a loooooooooooooot of menus.... plus battles don't occur on the same field as the 'field'. :p Also most of them are RANDOM battles.

Extremely irritating and boring. For people that don't like them. I think they're okay.

StarCraft

The original Half-Life

Almost any RPG (Mass Effect, Diablo, World of Warcraft)

MMO stuff, RPG or not

Guitar Hero/Rock Band games

Crackdown

Ghost Recon (GRAW series, not original)

Resident Evil franchise

Left 4 Dead 1/2 (OK, this one I can get into a bit, but I simply don't understand how anyone can play it for a long period of time)

Far Cry 2 (I beat it, but I just wonder why it was made like that)

Counter-Strike

Supreme Commander

Definitely Halo. My first console FPS's were Goldeneye/Perfect Dark 64, then I got more into PC gaming (Q3A and the like), so by the time I got round to playing Halo I was just completely underwhelmed. I think it was a combination of stiff gamepad FPS controls (I remember the revelation that was the first time playing Q3A with keyboard and mouse), and just generally being unimpressed given the hype.

Oh my, how can you guys hate FFs?

Its just not the games I like to play. I like to play fast paced games. Besides I never said I hated it, I just don't understand it. Just too much movie/cut scenes and not enough play. Don't get me wrong but the graphics are beautiful, I could watch it all day, but playing it is another thing.

to me FFXIII is like, fight>cut scence>fight>walk>walk>fight>movie>fight>movie>fight>walk>movie>movie>walk>walk>cut scene>movie>walk>fight>walk>fight

I just don't like the whole, "walk into an enemy and then LOAD into every single fight" thing, and ending with stats, even when you only kill a single character. Yawnage.

Another thing I really really really hate is respawning enemies in games. The Call of Duty series is a good example. If I clear out a cupboard then I don't expect a whole platoon to come pouring out of it less than 20 seconds later even if I'm standing outside the only way in or out of it. Once I find that a FPS has this 'feature' then I go off it pretty quickly.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
