I hate modern day gaming.

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

That, and then they sell it to a demographic for which those names mean nothing.

It's like re-naming a boy band "The Doors" and having them play banal pop music for little girls. Why bother?


Crusader was good shit.
How bout a Gauntlet reboot?

True dat.

However, and even though the cynic in me, or rather the cynic that is me would like to point out that the following statement may cause considerable burn damage but then, someone has to ask. It's just a game about running people over, how hard can they fuck it up?

I'll be picking up a fire extinguisher on my way home, just in case.

He was probably based on ed 209. Most Carma chars were based on real people/pop culture crapola IIRC.

Also, see 'XCOM' or innumerable other looming catastrophic disappointments.

The only thing the general you can rely upon is the capacity for others to defile the things the general you enjoyed/held dear. The distinction between carelessness and malice isn't especially pertinent.

Only Shadowrun game I know of was a shitty Xbox/PC release. How do you rape a franchise that contains only one game?
