Re: Unpopular Fandom Opinions

The only cRPG from that period that isn't complete shit is Fallout.

Maybe Deus Ex if you count it as a cRPG (I don't.)

And you know this because you've played every last one of them just to find out how much they suck.

(Seriously, did you ever reach a point where you thought "I hated every game that was like this, so I won't play this one"? It seems like you have personal experience of so many games you despise on principle.)

P.S. Come to think of it, I'd love to see you trash Avernum or Geneforge. The former pretty much WAS my childhood, at least in terms of video games, and I'm curious how you'd hate on it.

Re: Unpopular Fandom Opinions

I grew up during that period so I played a lot of those games when they were new or semi-new. I didn't like them then and I don't like them now.

The problem with Spiderweb Software games is that they're grossly unbalanced. I mean, at least they didn't do realtime-with-pause, but avoiding THAT awful system is basic competency. Geneforge especially is nigh-unplayable. I didn't get more than a quarter into Avernum, either.

If they have one thing going for them though, they're not geek sacred cows, kind of falling by the wayside compared to bigger names like Planescape.

I'll grant you grossly unbalanced. Boy will I grant you grossly unbalanced. (Though I do think Geneforge deserves a little credit for being so gloriously odd. It's like Shin Megami Tensei without religion, which shouldn't even be possible, and yet somehow it exists.)

Hmm...are we talking Fallout 1 or Fallout 1 & 2, because I feel like for me it would be the latter, since I find Fallout 1 to be kinda of ok/meh.

Re: Unpopular Fandom Opinions

I disagree. Both are good games but Fallout 1 is the better game. It's more pure, less buggy, and Fallout 2 is too try-hard with the humor and is ultimately a weaker game.

Fallout 3 takes an obvious lot of inspiration from Fallout 1, whereas NV is obviously Fallout 2 2. That's at least part of why I prefer FO3 to NV.
