Discuss anything from Age of Empires to Wasteland. Any gaming talk that isn't Fallout-related goes here.

Well to be fair, I always felt Oblivion was worse then MMO's cause atleast with MMO's you have other people to amuse you.

Sure, the npc's that run all over the country doing batshit insane things aren't full fledged humans, but compared to most mmo's they're by far more articulate.

Yeah, but I thought that it sucked hard. It's not mindless enough to compete with Diablo and it doesn't qualify as a good enough RPG in my books to compete with Fallout, so I'll stick to replaying those two.

And I just love the fact how Diablo is so item based <3
You can own some noob's char that is well higher level than your's because you've got better items and more skill.

I heard somewhere in an interview that all of Blizzard's future games are gonna be MMO(not necessarily MMORPG, though). For me, Blizzard started dying after Starcraft, and the last breath went away as the Warcraft III expansion was released.

I seriously doubt that Blizzard would be making new MMOs. All that it would achieve would mean directing it's customers from one MMO to another. I seriously doubt that more people will subscribe to play them.

That's what I thought, but

During a presentation to Wall Street today, a company representative from Vivendi reportedly said, "All Blizzard franchises will become MMOGs." The rep said they have a model in place to produce an MMOG for $50 million over the next three years.

World of Warcraft is one of the great success stories of our time. The big question is: with WoW already sucking hours/weeks/years of gamers' lives away, how will we ever find time to play World of Starcraft or World of Diablo? Alas, that these evil days should be ours!

I hope no one thought I was dicking around when I wrote that, because it's in fact God's truth.

Well, Blizzard did recently put a call out to hire more programmers with RTS experiance. Perhaps "world of starcraft" will be more along the lines that Dawn of War: Dark Crusade is looking at being in regards to online play.

You're complaining about everything being so '90s. Well let me tell you something, '90s are way better than the '00s! Really, it's like the new '20s. Think about it: Y2K bugs, the Apocalypse, oil running out, temperature skyrocketing like iraqi nuclear missiles and welfare society falling apart like Vanilla Ice's credibility, 9/11, 14/88, 2.8, Katarina, Pussycat Dolls, punk is dead, and emo's next. Newsflash: Garbage is so very '90s too! And you and your momma, and your momma's momma, who's probably soooo 1890s! Why don't you just teleport to the 2150s huh and don't let the teleport door slam your fancy butt on your way to another dimension! I bet when the robots were after you you'd be begging to be sent back to the '90s. swell guy.
Oh, shit! We will be going to war soon... and Subhuman that should have been teleported back from the 2150s to warn us of the evil, homophobic robots and out-of-style trends in the future is nowhere to be seen, Goddamnit!

A heads-up warning to Subhuman from 2150, if you are reading this: do not, I repeat - DO NOT try to impregnate males, human evolution is not there yet. A woman will have to do for now, that way your son/grandfather from the past can lead the revolution against the notorious bodybuilding cyborgs of the future and have buttsecks with many young and strapping guerrilla-members Ché style!

P.S.

What happens to our forum in the future?
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
