Re: Fallout Review (unf)
[quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="Lizard_King"]So far, I think you have a number of valid objections to a game which I liked, and perhaps tampered somewhat with my rosy nostalgia. Did you run out of steam, or what?[/quote] Sort of. Actually, I needed to play them again, in order to do them justice, and I haven't had the time. I've been of the opinion that the Fallout games are thought of as great because they had a modicum of orginality, a solid character system, and a pretty good story (and sense of humor), all of which overshine their shortcomings. Tactics kind of sucked for a reason: emphasis was placed on the weaker parts of the Fallout games (combat, commerce) except for character creation, but it fell apart thanks to those decisions. [quote name="Lizard_King"]Also, since you seem to have a knack for it, why not take on Planescape, too, so SB can explain to us how Descartes makes its supremacy over all other games inevitable?[/quote] If you read the last part of my hack Playing Computer Games Is Fucking Stupid arty further up, I actually do tear into Torment a bit. But I really fucking like that game, and it's part of why I shitcanned that article. That and the article, as a whole, sucked. [/quote]
