Another MMO Down - Tabula Rasa

[Nystul]

Honestly, I've never been less interested in new PC games. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff, or maybe the industry is all wrong. I'm getting sick of games where "continuing support" is a feature codeword for "we'll start a really ambitious project, release it when it's a third of the way done, and make you pay us to finish it over time". And it takes like 5 years to make one of these unfinished games... no wonder there are financial concerns.

It's funny how people can still find enjoyment in even a simple, single player game like FF1 with obvious bugs and balanced problems that was never "patched" from the day the cartridge came out decades ago.

Even knowing that Blizzard is still out there and that SC2 and D3 are very real, I'm not even interested enough to really check out the websites.

I've been like that for a while too. There was a time when I would buy games at something like three or four times a year, but these days I'm down to maybe one a year. To top it off the last four have all been Guild Wars campaigns.

How true - I just finished the original fallout, and I am currently on fallout 2...

I still haven't played any of the Fallout games; was kinda hoping they would add them in with Fallout 3 as a bonus, though I'm not sure how the copyright issues would have worked with that... Oh well.

I find there are a lot of older games I'd like to play; but my budget is too limited to allow them. Unfortunately some of the older games still cost $20 and that adds up. I'd like to play stuff like Jedi Academy, Knights of the Old Republic 2, Planescape Torment (funny, I always thought it was Tournament, so I avoided it thinking it was going to be some multiplayer only thing), Space Quest and King's Quest anthologies (King's Quest games have a lot of remakes, but those were just VGA adaptations of 1-3), The Dig, 11th Hour (supposed to be a 7th Guest sequel and I liked that one quite a bit), Myst, etc., etc., etc. There are just too many games that came out long enough ago that I didn't get for whatever reason and now can't find (or can't find cheap). Add in all the PS1 games I never got that are becoming more and more rare, and it gets really expensive to play older games.
