I guess I'm stuck in the past.
Also given that Fallout has three nominations here, maybe I should check it out, even if that genre is not my thing.

Re: Best Game of All Time Tournament - Round 4
BTW, should we use this thread to discuss this heart wrenching pairings, or should that be done elsewhere?
Because it has me a bit flummoxed, I think some discussion about 1. specifically is in order. More specifically, I am looking for someone to make the argument that Skyrim is "better" than Fallout, and why.

1) I think this is Fallout... Skyrim is huge and pretty and very lacking in the story department (and humor department). I was confused by the huge and the pretty for a bit, but fallout really wins, despite my graphic whore-ness.Hipolito wrote:1. Fallout -vs- Skyrim

2) Easy
3) Never played SMAC but with this audience that's going to roll all over RDR
4) I did not play X-COM in its heyday and later I couldn't get past the graphics. I have finished the new one three times. My vote is hopeless here though.
5) Ouch. BGII wins but it's not a huge gap
6) never played PS:T but BL2 is not the best game of all time either
7) I... I... don't make me choose!
8) I own both, have played 4 a bit but I don't care either way as long as whichever wins gets knocked out before the end.

I know I should like Civ IV more than V, but I can't make that vote. There are some things I dislike about V for sure, but I don't see myself ever going back to IV at this point. Even so, I played and enjoyed IV more than I have V.

Re: Best Game of All Time Tournament - Round 4
It makes me sad that Red Dead Redemption probably isn't going to make it out of this round.
Of course, I'm still distraught that Kerbal Space Program didn't even make the cut.

They should port RDR to the PC...I tried it on the PS3 and could not get used to the controls (disclaimer: I say that about every 3rd person perspective console game)AWS260 wrote:It makes me sad that Red Dead Redemption probably isn't going to make it out of this round.

Because it has me a bit flummoxed, I think some discussion about 1. specifically is in order. More specifically, I am looking for someone to make the argument that Skyrim is "better" than Fallout, and why.
Skyrim made me more happier.
It is a subjective contest. The fact that my opinion exists proves the argument.

Re: Best Game of All Time Tournament - Round 4
I loved both games, but in 5 years I can see myself wanting to play Fallout again, even if a new Fallout game and the new Wasteland come out in the interim and are awesome. Once the next Elder Scrolls game comes out, I'll probably never boot up Skyrim again.Carpet_pissr wrote:BTW, should we use this thread to discuss this heart wrenching pairings, or should that be done elsewhere?

That said, since I haven't played either I can't make a pick between them. I'd feel bad, but looking at the other games I voted for, I have played all of them, and so would pick any of them over this anyway).

It wasn't for me, but I'm old school. I dislike "consolized" games in general, and the new one was very consoley. Too many concessions made IMO.Hipolito wrote:Vote!

How was the new XCom for you, Carpet_pissr?
Actually, I enjoyed the new XCom a lot, but ultimately it was too RPGie for me. You really can't let (m)any of your guys die so it wasn't the old game but better. It was a different game, that ultimately didn't scratch the itch quite as well.
