[Dolerman]

Yeah this topic is notorious for talking about pretentious games.

There's actual talent at Quantic Dream and eventually David Cage will catch up to everyone else. He's kind of like a French Hideo Kojima

I bet if someone made a turn-based isometric RPG where your companions are a harem and you're on the hunt for anime tiddies, Dynamo would snap it up instantly.

On a more serious note, similar gameplay style does not mean that a game is the exact same as Fallout. There's lots of different factors to take into account, but I suppose that's not what we want when we're looking for popular games to shit on to make ourselves look like hipsters.

@Prawn Syndicate didn't deserve the shitty reboot death it got.

I don't even want to validate the existence of the reboot.

It's a shame, could've been okay if it wasn't trying to cash in on an ultimately superior series.

That's what was disappointing about the reboot, the fact they had the aesthetics all nailed down, the soundtrack (not the Skrillex theme, by the way - which I felt was far from subtle and too in your face and obnoxious), the art direction, they even had Brian Cox turn up and lend his voice acting talent to the game.

All the right components were there, and I wasn't even too bothered that they made it into a first-person shooter, it's just that it wasn't a particularly good first-person shooter. If it had the depth of the original isometric strategy game it was based on, then I would have been far more forgiving of it.

Can't believe we live in a world where a shitty Syndicate shooter gets greenlit and Prey 2 gets dumped in the garbage can. Now, it's back to watching an inactive stream I've been watching for 3 hours while waiting to get absolutely burned by my favourite studio.

Yeah but we got a new Prey so...yay?

@Fabricant451

Yay, a new Prey that was Prey only in name and was inferior to what we saw of the original sequel.

@Mara

I heard that the new Prey was actually pretty good, all I know about the game is that you can turn into a coffee cup and roll around. Oh, and some weird Alan Wake monsters too. That's literally the length and breadth of my knowledge when it comes to the game. Speaking of the stream, did they announce anything to do with Elder Scrolls yet? Or are they still going all in on the failed MMO?

@Mara

What we saw of the original sequel was so conceptual that it might as well have been nothing.

@Prawn

Considering the fact that there's only been a single piece of Elder Scrolls merch and the rest is all Fallout related, I highly doubt we'll get an Elder Scrolls announcement.

Look, I liked the aesthetics and concept okay. :c

I share an opinion with Fabricant

I am blessed.

@Mara

At this point, I'll be happy with a new Fallout game - as long as it's as far removed from Fallout 4 as possible. Thirty hours of my life I squandered in that game, and doing things that my character shouldn't have any knowledge how to do. For example, my years working as a lawyer mean that I'm able to easily operate power armour!
