    I've honestly lost momentum on FO3.

    If they had not put in that level cap, I might not have held out for it so long that I stopped caring. My points went on Monkey Island, and my new lot are going on BF:1943.

    Lesson learned I hope Bethesda. Believe me, nobody is more disappointed than me.

    Roll on Mass Effect 2 for my next RPG fix.

    ... or sometime god knows when if you own a PS3 :(

  • mkreku #3 3 years ago

    @kangarootoo: You should check out Risen too. That RPG fix is a lot closer than Mass Effect 2.

    How odd. The site itself copied my message twice and now it refuses to let me delete one of them. Lovely bugs.

    Ooh, looks a bit like Gothic. Good call dude.

    I think sometimes it looks like you post hasn't been made, but if you hit post again it ends up appearing twice.

    If it looks like your post hasn't made it onto the site, copy everything into the cop'n'paste buffer (just in case) and hit refresh. Usually your post will appear.

    That Risen game is beautiful. How could I not of heard of this?

    /hopes it doesn't suck

  • mkreku #8 3 years ago

    Well, Eurogamer are busy posting news about Guitar Hero 34732 so they don't have time to cover the niche games.

    Oh, and I just posted another comment on a Risen video and got FOUR messages from ONE click! Luckily they were erasable this time! :/

  • kangarootoo #9 3 years ago

    Ah, its by the same devs that did Gothic. Makes sense.

    @kangarootoo

    Did you not get Broken Steel (lvl cap is 30) and Point Lookout? I'm currently exploring the swamplands of PO and really enjoying the change in setting. Its pure FO but with a hillbilly twist :)

    Hint: Play Fallout3 simultanously with a friend, and share pics with funny comments to each = Win!

    Often the level of a game's entertainment depends on HOW you play the game.

    Hehe, this is compeltely true.

    Back in the good ole days I used to play the originals with a rl friend on weekends where we hooked our computers up next to each other, and, playing Fallout 3, sharing stories with him on msn and irc (since we now live in opposite ends of the country) sure has been a blast. ^^

    They are PC screenshots, right ?
    I may have to upgrade after all...

    @evilfoxhound

    In FO, character progress part of the deal. So when that progress is stopped in a contrived way, part of the gameplay has been "switched off".

    BF1943 isn't about character progress, its about tactics and shooting. And I guess if anything, it is about my own progress as I get better at the game. That progress can't be capped as I continue to improve through experience.

    Now if 1943 did have a character progression system, on which it relied in order to maintain the fun, and which suddenly stopped working part way through the game... I might have a different view.

    I'm with you CountFapula, the level cap makes no difference to me. Your pretty much an unstoppable killing machine when you hit Level 20 anyway, so the absence of a number ticking upwards doesn't spoil my enjoyment of exploring the Capital Wasteland.

  • smelly #16 3 years ago

    I dont understand the whole "level cap" thing?

    It was a great game.. But i wasnt playing to "level up" I was playing to follow the story and get acheivements from doing side missions, etc.

    Most of the level upgrade perks i didnt really use. All the stats i had in things i found useful were 100%. So progressing past 20 wouldnt have made the game any better or worse for me really.

    If anything allowing people to hit (say) level 100 would just mean that people would grind around looking for bad guys, levelling up - and then the game becomes super easy super fast (see also fable 2). So the developers would've had to made everything harder to cope with people levelling up that much - which would've made it fustrating for people like me who dont like to grind and just follow the set missions...

    The whole "levelling up" argument is stupid - if you're not playing for that reason - you're missing out on the best game of recent years.

    I've bought broken Steel - not played it much - just played it past seing how they got around the end game problem.

    But I finished the game at level 18, with fawkes - and i was pretty much unstoppable at that point!

  • smelly #17 3 years ago

    As for mass effect - i *TRIED* to like it - but was so overwhelmed at the start that i gave up within an hour of playing as i had no idea what i was doing.

    I might try going back to it one day

  • smelly #18 3 years ago

    >For some people the thrill of an RPG is the power from levelling up

    I agree. But there has to be a point where you have to either stop people levelling - or the game will become too easy surely?

    unless you go the oblivion route (yuck!)
