These new realtime RPGs are for people who aren't gamers. They are targeting the Myst crowd and real-time action gamers. Fallout may have been good but every game will be like Baldur's Gate now or even worse Diablo which isn't even a real RPG. Where are the skills or complex character building? If you had these "gamers" play Death Knights of Krynn they could never beat it. This is who they are making games for now. It is only combat and there is no strategy involved. Just clicking.

Mom just wants a DVD player, so we're getting a PS2 as the compromise.


Long as I can keep playing those crash bandicoot releases I'll get over not having a DC.

That opinion was basically the spirit of Gamefan magazine and any forum where people played lots of action games was, way before 1999
