Daily Chit-Chat -- Autumn and/or Spring Edition

[Captain Fabio]

Never played the original Fallout games, have you? Then again, they were LONG before your time. There was a compilation rerelease, but good luck trying to find it now.

What's with the condescending tone?

This thread took a turn for the worst when I went to sleep! XD

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Most threads take a turn for the worst when they wind under bridges and unwanted passengers join the ride.

 

[Captain Fabio]

That isn't the case though, otherwise the whole forum would be in chaos and it doesn't look to be in chaos to me.

It is just some individuals being the catalysts. Trust me, I know about it.

 

[adventuring]

The only Bethesda game I've played is Oblivion, which I'm playing now. (Well, not this moment but I've been playing it recently.)

If you're a person who can enjoy older uglier games, you should try Morrowind, the prequel to Oblivion. It's better in many ways, for one your character is a lot more customizable and your initial class choice doesn't have to be what you end up as, and there's just endless things to do. But there's a main storyline. Although it's a little weird.

Also, bitter thread is bitter. If you haven't got anything nicer to say about each other, you might as well not say anything at all. /acting parent-ish

Everyone seems to be into those RPG/Sandbox games, which is what I consider Fallout 3/New Vegas to be. Basically do whatever you want and follow the main plot if you want to.

Also, I would really really like to have Fable 3.

 

[donavannj]

Well, I don't blame them. Sandbox games and simulation games in the vein are awesome. See also: The Movies, Sim City. ^_^

 

[Alternative]

I've never been into those sorts of games. Simulation games are alright, but Sandbox is where I draw the line. I've played Fallout 3 and got abducted by aliens and didn't really like it. Heck I even bought Minecraft and got bored of it easily.

I like games where you have a clear mission and you have to complete it to that time. I've enjoyed games like GTA IV and Saints Row and found them enjoyable since they had a mission which you could do, as well as go out and do whatever you feel like.

 

[donavannj]

I prefer more open-ended games, and, if one were to log all the hours I spent playing games in my life, probably 55% would be devoted to simulation and strategy games. (It'd be higher, but Pokemon has a pretty large share itself).

 

[Regeneration]

The highly technical simulator games are not what I like at all. I just play games for fun, that's just my choice. XD

 

[donavannj]

What's your definition of a highly technical simulator?

 

[Regeneration]

Flight Simulator X.

I just want to have some casual simulator games.

 

[donavannj]

Do you consider Sim City casual? Or The Sims? :3 both games have droves of hardcore fans, though

 

[Regeneration]

/shrugs

I've never tried playing those games, so can't say. :x

 

[donavannj]

You should totally play those game series. Seriously worth your time. Of course, this is coming from someone who loves games like Sim City and Civilization.

 

[Regeneration]

Hmm.. I'll be sure to try those games. My personal favourites are mostly strategy games; Rise of Nations and Command & Conquer series topping my favourites list.

 

[donavannj]

My top strategy games are the Age of Empires series and the Civilization series.

 

[Luck]

Also, way to move the goalposts. The actual topic was the merits of Japanese "RPGs" and Western RPGs. Instead of actually discussing what you like about Japanese RPGs or further explaining what you didn't like about Fallout 3 (you're yet another person who hasn't played the first two), you namedrop studios that haven't developed or published any RPGs at all. What kind of point are you trying to make?

You talked about Western developers, not Western RPG developers. I'm sorry that you can't be specific.

And no, I like Bioware. They could have better combat but their games interest me more than games from Bethesda and Obsidian.

Well, as if your trolling abilities are actually better. And please, you have no right to speak about my sense of humor if you don't even know what it is. If you actually knew what hard education is and that life isn't a joke, or anything of that crap you would obviously know when to shut the hell up. But you don't and here we are.

I'm not even going to ask where that came from.

Are you referring to Jack? I think he's interesting and at least isn't even half trollish as Luck is.

Because I'm a troll whenever I state my beliefs. Oh Elia, how I wish I logged our MSN chats.

So - I haven't been on here in a while... and seeing as I'm getting bored on the other site that I visit regulary on, I decided that I should just log on here and see all the good stuff that's been happening on here the last 19 days since I was inactive.

...That and I need to think of a hobby to do now. I hardly play computer games (other than my DS), and I've also been taking up to a lot of reading fanfictions as of late. Yeah, totally random coming from me ¬_¬'

You should read My Immortal if you want fan fiction. It's just so horribly bad that it's good.

 

[Aquacorde]

Ooh, My Immortal is wonderful. It's always good for entertainment.
