Fallout? And I mean the Black Isle fallouts.

Speaking of Black Isle, they also did Planescape and Icewind Dale.

Also: Bioware made Baldur's Gate 1 and 2; they're Canadian not European. Unless they just mean 3.

And of course, the OG RPG: D&D. Pretty sure Gygax was American.

After 20 years you need to do something new. You can't live forverer on your legacy.

Swiss person here:

What's that supposed to mean?

Are you trying to say we aren't recognized as the supreme military power in Europe anymore?

Surely you're joking, right?!

Is Neverwinter nights American? That's a good one.

NWN1 was from Bioware, NWN2 from Obsidian. Both are from the USA, but NWN2 is nearly 20 years old by now.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Bioware is from Canada, not the US.

I didn't know we were ignoring old games. It was just what came to mind, sorry.

I don't know what we are doing, but anon listed recent games ¯_(ツ)_/¯

(Although it irritates me to no end when people say "Baldurs Gate" while talking about BG3)

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Still newer than the Infinity Engine games mentioned (BG1 & 2, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment).

dont limit just to black isle fallouts lol

3 new vegas and 4 are great and even 76 is good

[–] phuntis@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

4 is not even remotely great it is genuinely awful 3 is fine I won't insult 3 I enjoyed it not as much as nv I loved nv but I enjoyed it it was good even but 4 is an insult

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 3 months ago

4 is a great shooter. It's a terrible RPG.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

wow really cause i played 4 and it was a great time because the game was great. you must have a very high standard. never played a single game under 90 score on metacritic (but that would mean new vegas is worse than 4)

[–] Zanudous@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

As a big fan of fallout, imo, 4 is the weakest of series. Engine was outdated, repeated time wasting quests, boring world building, the base building was their new exciting feature but it fell kinda flat. Now with 1k+ mods game can actually be a lot fun though. Also 74 didn't exist.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Not even in the same league. Barely even RPGs. New Vegas is the best of them and it still pales in comparison.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

didnt know it was contest of most rpg game and not just great game

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net -2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago
