What’s that? More RPGs? Alright, alright… I’ve got more RPGs for yah. Sit back, relax and prepare for some good ones!

Etrian Odyssey 1 & 2

I’m not gonna lie to you. If you want a challenge, if you want a serious RPG, then this is the game for you. There aren’t flashy graphics, there are only stats, items, monsters and a very cool map-making system. You and your party of adventurers goes down into a dungeon few go into to find the treasure. You can pick classes, have as many members as you want. but can only carry a few around. The monsters get viciously difficult to kill very quickly. The battle system is your standard turns based on speed/surprise factor. Lots of fun, but I’m warning you now: Almost as addictive as an MMO(but so much cheaper!). I thoroughly enjoyed them, even if the god damn F.O.E.s obliterated me for days.

Here it is!

THREEEEEEEEEDOG, Bethesda released the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K. ) for PC players, the G.E.C.K. is basically a developer kit that gives players access to game tools so that they may create their own content for the game.

Woo! Bethesda would have made a pretty grave error if they decided not to release it. I mean, yes, Fallout 3 is a great stand-alone game but with the addition of the modding community, this game can become much more than it currently is. I mean look at Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the game itself was mediocre at best, but once combined with the modding community, Oblivion changed for the better, adding new quests, new factions, new places, and revamping many of Oblivion’s systems for the better.

So my question to you, the readers, is what would you like to see in terms of mods for Fallout 3?

Personally I think one of the musts is more radio stations, because I’d love to get more music while I’m kick some ass in the wastelands.

Weapons? I’d like to see some unique guns, nothing from anime or from movies, something original maybe even more realistic, something that really bugged me in Fallout 3 was that the upgraded versions of normal weapons looked the exact same as the normal weapons. You know like I went to get the Terrible Shotgun, I found it, equiped it, and it’s the exact same. I thought with a name like TERRIBLE Shotgun you’d have skulls hanging off it or at least some kind of design on it. With the addition of the G.E.C.K. to the game, this will most likely be fixed in no time.

Now that's a special weapon

Places? Eh, I’d like to see a new town, or maybe a stronghold. Yeah, a stronghold of robots, that after the apocalypse decided to rebel against man and start anew. Kind of building on that A.I. side quest.

As for general improvements, I’d like to see a bit of color added to the wasteland. I know apocalypse setting = auto brown and gray but it’d be nice to see a bit more variety, because when I’m strolling around, exploring, and listening to some Butcher Pete, I’d like to see more than rock, rock, rock, more rocks, highway, rock.

I’m happy to know that within a few weeks of months, Fallout 3 will be much improved.

So what about you? What’d you like to see?

If you haven’t heard of the Fallout series then you’re really out of touch with the PC gaming world. Welcome to the present! Have an assault rifle. Anyhow, There’s been a lot of static about Fallout 3 since it was announced, most of it came from No Mutants Allowed, or NMA, which are a group of Fallout fanboys that were brought to tears upon hearing Bethesda was developing Fallout 3. NMA was afraid that Bethesda would tinker the formula that Black Isle (the original developers of the Fallout series) had made. To be clear, Fallout was an instant classic for it’s dark humor and dynamic gameplay and brought you different endings based on how you played. Does Bethesda live up to the previous Fallout games, and if it does, is it a good game? Let’s see. (continue reading…)
