Fallout: New Vegas Revealed [Apr 20, 2009, 09:46 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
MCV has word that Bethesda Softworks has unveiled Fallout: New Vegas,
a new RPG set in the Fallout universe being developed by Obsidian (Star Wars:
Knights of the Old Republic 2, Never Winter Nights 2, Alpha
Protocol). Details are scant for now: Word is the game will use the
Fallout 3 engine, but will not be a Fallout 3 sequel, and will be released
for PC and consoles next year.
Talk about milking it.....
I for one think all games should NEVER have Levels. Why? Take Stalker for example. You never had levels (granted you never got skills either which sucked). But leveling is stupid in and of itself. A character should never be impervious, equipment or level wise. The ONLY game that did this well was Ultima Online. Sure you got levels, but your hitpoints never went above 100 nor your skills. You were always vulnerable to a moderately sized mob or skilled group.
So in UO I may be level 50, but 4-6 level 10-15 guys could easily take me down, granted half of them might die. It was great because you always asked yourself "Fuck, should I make this gold run back and forth or get my friends?"
WOW doesn't do this for shit and it blows because of it. Remove leveling, simply add skillsets that you must take time and/or pay to learn. In real life nothing is prohibiting me from learning guitar, archery, shooting assault weapons, driving a car, riding a bike etc etc except time and money.
I totally agree, which is probably why UO was the only MMORPG I ever enjoyed playing.
As for this new expansion, I'll reserve judgment until it arrives, but I'm not holding my breath.
Someone mentioned earlier that because of the scale of FO3, there's a lot of room for forgiveness. I'm sorry, but no way. This is Bethesda's third open-world game and they are still extremely buggy. Wasn't there a community patch for Oblivion that fixed over a 1000 bugs!? What the heck is Bethesda doing all day?
The fact that FO3 was buggy (and the writing was amateurish at best) is further proof of Bethesda's laziness.
