lamar - In most cases I actually PREFER old school graphics. I know I'm in the minority in this but I don't feel that technologically advanced/modern is always equal to "better". I'll take the SNES Tecmo Bowl series over these crazy 3D Madden NFL games that feel jerky and awkward to me. I'll take the stop-motion animation of the old Sinbad movies over the fake looking CGI Gollums and werewolves of today. And really... how many megapixels do we need before the human eye can't discern the difference anymore anyway?
lamar + gimlet both - THANK YOU for mentioning gog.com! I had no idea it existed and now I will surely spend a bundle of money there and take a 6 month hiatus from my UO freeshard, lol.
dxrom - You know, I never played UO with the goal of killing or being killed by other players - which bugged me for a long time because I stubbornly stuck with Fel servers - but I enjoy it to no end in Call of Duty. Probably because there's nothing else to do in CoD, that's the only point in the game. UO was like "Here's an amazing world full of interesting stuff to do! Disclaimer: You will be unable to actually do anything interesting due to being hounded/harassed/killed endlessly." I play story-driven games but to be honest I rarely get into the stories. I wasn't even all the way through the first Halo before I stopped caring and couldn't tell you a thing about the stories on the sequels.
