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.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
