I liked CRPGs, I really did. When I read the manual, spent hours just
to decide the composition of the party, then creating the characters,
and going through the battles one step at a time, where battles were
challenging and you had to *think* to beat them.
Those were the days when computers were slow and games were turn
based... *sigh*
Nowadays, with all the graphics and 3d, looks like all game companies
concentrate 99% of their effort in adding double bump-mapping,
triple-buffering, 9x antialiasing, ultra-vertex-shaders, volumetric
pixeloids, etc. leaving, you know, the actual game to the last. Seems
like they think we are only interested in the latest advances, instead
of an actually good game.
Or maybe it is just me that liked those games when they weren't so
flashy. Maybe I just got old and since I don't have the reflexes I had
20 years ago, I just don't enjoy these lastest so called CRPGs. Or
maybe I enjoy them... the whole 8 hours it takes to finish them.
Just some random ramblings, going back to my old copy of Wiz6 on
DosBox...
