Editorial Diablo III proves old-school Fallout can do well today

Well, programs have at least some logic in them. Or I thought so until I found this thread.

Maybe Fallout 4 will have a RMAH so Bethshit can appeal to oldschool gamers...

Imagine a new Fallout with the graphical style of Diablo III – wouldn’t that be awesome? And when it comes to combat, there could be an option to make it real-time or turn-based, like Van Buren, to satiate both camps.

Had high hopes since I hadn't read anything from gaming journos for a while. Hopes were dashed, as usual.

pixelitis editorial proves that old school gaming journalism can do well today

but why would you want that when standards of objectivity have evolved

Zarniwoop I love the way you included FretRider in there

Yes, and Diablo being ISO automatically means it's deep and tactical like other iso RPGs, it's not like it's a loot-driven clickfest that causes textbook neural responses of addiction.

Moron.

Probably "stroll".

It means he is butthurt. Always does.

Diablo 3 is successful because it is a trend. Not because it is isometric.

You are missing the point of the article completely. He isn't arguing that d3 is succesful because it has an isometric viewpoint, he argues that it's success shows that there is no need for 3D in a game for it to become succesful.

Having a RMAH in fallout 4 would be so delighfully nonsensical, that I would actually applaud them if they could pull that shit off. Would be needed one hell of a marketing team to sell that idea to the public.

It actually means I needed something to pad out the list a bit, I had some other threads open in other tabs, and spotted dumbfuckery worse than any rock could ever come up with and thus had my list. But whatever makes you happy.

Whatever you say, bro.

And ITT, seems isometric is the new turn-based. Diablo IV will probably be first-person.

. Diablo IV will probably be first-person.

More likely a browser-based trading game.

Garriott did it first, as always.
