You're wrong, and I think you missed the sarcasm. Do you actually think Fallout is the only thing Interplay ever produced? That franchise was not the cause for their downfall. BTW, lets start arguing about pen and paper being dead, because oddy enough it isn't either...Exigent said:
you're right there, BG series where a huge success, especially considering the genre. Both FO did reasonably good as well, after all BIS started the development of Van Burren, getting as far as to an early alpha. And that requires money.Hamenaglar said:
So take it out of context, yes THAT is mature... Those two words were to primarily get you're attention (which it obviously did). Read the rest of the text which explains why your wrong... No I didn't post needless links to where I got the info since the info is obvious and if you doubt it you can go looking yourself... Fallout (both of them) didn't cause a great financial sink as you seem to think.No "you're wrong" wasn't my argument. It was a simple stated fact(or opinnion if you want to see it that way fine), and then the argument occured after it. Maybe you should go back and brush up on your reading comprehension skills.Exigent said:
Yep that is definately the wiseset choice with almost any games. Make sure they aren't total flops before buying them and also give some time for patches so when you do play game a bug doesn't ruin it. BUT if everyone did this they'd get a false sense that no one wanted their game and not support it... I already pre-ordered. Though If I hadn't just sold some land giving me an econimic boost I might of held off also. As is though I'm starving for new games in this genre. RPG don't come out as often as any other genre.. Due simply to economics.McFlow said:
Well, usually I buy every game I *really* want right after the release. Did it with Battle for Middlearth 1 + 2 + addon and Gothic3. Would have done the same with The Witcher but I heard quite late of it. Fallout is one of the games I cannot really decide about. First, I did not play Fallout 1 and 2. It sounds interesting but I don't like most of the screenshots. But the most limiting fact is that I am quite busy right now.I read reviews watch trailers/videos and decide then again. So Fallout3 stays on my watch list.
You missed somethign great not playing them (as long as you are ok with turn based combat). Today though it is kinda hard to geet used to the old graphics for a replay. Plus a lot more than just graphics has evolved since then...I understand about being busy. I don't have much time myself to play computer, with work and television shows...Wish I was a kid againMcFlow said:
And now a new book is coming out in one of my all time favorite trilogies so I'll have to re-read the six book before it... Have to put my re-read of the harry potter series off to re-read that series(Last Herald Mage)... So much to do so little time...I don't see how you can say this without playing it. I saw ingame footage of Morrowind that made me think same thing, but it turned out to have alot of depth storywise.You say Morrowwind was great but then after ONE somewhat blah game you can say they are the complete oppossit? One bad game? Seriously.... Actually I didn't like Morrowwind as much as you did, but still going to reserve judgement until I get my hands on the game or a demo, or proper reviews.FoxWBogart said:
eace.s. my wedding cost me $135 total (that includes our rings -- and they are still our rings after 19 years)My wedding cost about the samegamewidow said:Not to sound too antagonistic ... but does no one actually try to live within their means anymore ? ... i did not buy a house until i had enough money for a 10% down payment (which at the time was the rock-bottom minimum you could get away with here) ... and for my second house i put down 25% (having sold the first -- i'm not collecting them, i moved to a different city)and when you say "debts" ... have you tired paying one off before adding another one to the pile ? ... i think too many people feel that they *must* have this or that to be happy and money be damned -- imho, that's why the US in a financial meltdown
. 25% of 100,000 or more depending on where you live, is still 75,000. I live within my means hence sacrificing things for games . I'm lower middle class and this year even got cut to 11 month . My wife doesn't work and probably can't, she could probably collect disability if she wanted to but we are getting by fine. With the sale of land we are paying off her credit card, that we used to get needed house repairs, medical bills (coverage for her just costs way too much), and probably a good portion of the car we had to buy to replace one that is starting to have major issues. No I'm not poor, and I'm living within my means, I have less debt than most middle class people. Unlike you I didn't choose to stay with my parents until I had enough cash built up to not have debt upon leaving home. I'm not saying I couldn't of afforded the other games now, just that I could buy something else with that cash. I'm not a materialist myself the only thing Expensive I have other than essentials is a 42" plasma and a computer... Though I could probably live better if I could get my wife to stop some of her uneeded buying...eace:and canada has socialized healthcare ... and i moved away from the parental home at 17 ... i don't know where you decided that i lived with my parents ... i rented until i could afford a downpayment
