Features in SH1 and Aces That Have Since "Disappeared" - Page 3

Good thread indeed!

I have being thinking often, why have we lost so many good things in the progress, and why it always seems to be graphic part of the game what interests company/devs most. Ok, I admit, introducing the crew was something, but still...

Why have we lost so many technical things done already?

Greetings,

You guys feel about the same as i felt when Fallout 3 was coming out. Fallout 1/2 were great RPGs, definately my favourite RPGs ever, and fallout 3 was all show and no go. It was a fraking FPS! Spent a lot of time venting my frustration on Bethesdas boards, got banned a few times, tralala. ect. ect.

More and more games are like this, why it is starting to happen in PC simulations, makes little sense to me, they are mostly niche markets, i can only think it has to do with every publisher (not developer) wanting to make the next "Halo" or in today's case, Modern Warfare.

Also the raising of graphical standards costs developers a lot of money so at the end of the day you really can't blame them (whoever them are) for wanting to make money.

Saving grace? Mods. Thats what i love about being a pc gamer. Hopefully SH5 is a platform modders can work with, thats up to the developer though so lets keep our fingers crossed.

That was the first Fallout I played, and I thought it was pretty awesome! Then one of buddies said " NO, It really sucks, play this instead." He broke out his old copies of 1 and 2. I played them and came think the same way you do now.

This brings me to Sh5. If it is the only version new players have played, they wouldn't know that it is missing anything and wouldn't care. Old players will notice right away if something isn't right and go right back to playing Sh3. The only way the old players can get what they want out of the franchise is to educate

new players on how bad the new game they just bought and thought was the coolest thing ever, actually sucks the moss off the bottom of SH3's hull. If we do this the game makers will have to bow to our wishes, because now the old guard is the majority.
