Default Re: Off topic: How are games failing you?

I thought Prey was an excellent game - especially from the perspective of "if you're going to make an FPS, make it story driven" - as the story was quite engaging.

I had to abandon my game of Oblivion. After painstakingly pushing my Sneak(Stealth?)/Herbalism/Alchemy all to level 10, while my combat skills were all much lower, I suddenly found that I couldn't kill anything, at least not without guzzling nearly irreplaceable potions.

Fallout 3 was far better in that regard I thought, but so much of what made Fallout 1+2 awesome was diluted so badly..... I've nothing against consoles, per se, but I do blame the console for what was "left out" of Fallout 3.....
