Bored Again: Future of gaming
« on: December 14, 2004, 06:49:14 pm »
I was watching Judgement Day on TechTV and Tommy Tallarico was right in saying that all games are now becoming more character and \"choose your own path,\" oriented. Anyone find this to be true?

I do, MMOs of all sorts are popping up like crazy and more single player games are become more player driven rather than story driven.

Sadly, yes that is true.
 I wish I could play again a game made only for the story, like Planescape Torment, Septerra Core, Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption ...

I did notice that, especially with the GTA series. Remember when it was a fun, top down, shoot stuff steal cars drive fast game? Now, GTA:SA requires working out, eating, getting haircuts, basicly leveling up. GTA has become an RPG. Im scared now...

play Baldur\'s gate from BG1 all the way through Throne of Bhall. it doesnt matter if you have already... just do... should at least provide maybe a week of enjoyment... and theres always new stuff to do, unless you wimped out and looked though some FAQS...

.. \\o/ .. Depth. You want to tell me you never played a game only for the story? You never lost hours, days, even weeks, only to see how the story ends? Don\'t think this is true. :)

Those are the only kind I like...if I want a story I\'ll read a book, which is considerably cheaper then $50.

I need no preety pictures. :baby:

Well ofcourse I have played those games, I pretty much played every RPG that Playstation(And the old FF\'s off SNES) has come out with old and new but to say the least if it suddenly disappeared and I was just left to action games or Pong then all the better!

The reason is simple..when more RPG based games starting coming out like Final Fantasy 7 is a great example..DND groups began to split up, so I figure if RPG type games disappear then the DND will rise up again for those who enjoyed it.

It seems like all games these days are more focused on \"richly enhanced graphics\" rather than the story. I will not buy a game for its graphics. The graphics should just be a bonus, not the roots of the game. I believe the story, setting and gameplay make the game. It\'s like soft drinks for example: You buy a certain drink because you can, umm... win a trip to Hawaai, for example. The drink tastes like -censored-, but you buy it for the chances of winning the trip.

In other words, people got stupid... >:(

I stand firm in my conviction the FFX is the greatest game known to mankind, because its story line is the best i have ever heard. better than any movie/book/game i have ever see/read/played. not only that but the gameplay is intuitively interactive and addicting

the added bonus is that it has Incredibly richly detailed realistic graphics. and incredible high definition cutscenes with awestriking sound quality   .. is awestriking a word?! hmm... o well

games no longer need a story... just great graphics and the Final Fantasy title... and all th e lil RPG kids will buy it... I must SNES\' FF\'s where the best... i dont care what you say... but i think FF is overrated... I prefer a little more open... DnD style game... I loved BG and think that no game shall ever come as close to the trilogy, I guess, the gameplay was awesome as well as a pretty good story... NWN.. DnD style, also a very good game with the option of mods and the such...only truly open game I like is Morrowind.. but then again what game has ever made such a vast, realistic land as they did? even if it has flaws...
