[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5349609, member: 18280"] Which video games have changed? Do you mean that I can pick up a video game now that has exactly the same title as one from 25 years ago, and it will be significantly different? I thought that they prominently changed the names (i.e., "Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time") in order to signify that it was a new game. I was also under the impression that the graphics were prominently changed in order to demonstrate the same thing. For example, I have never seen a game called "Pong" using images from earlier "Pong" being used to sell a radically new "Pong". Perhaps, though, I'm out of the loop on developments in Pong and Centipede. Again, where is your evidence? What are you basing this on? All of these "lapsed gamers" in the WotC polls include gamers who didn't move on from those games. The evidence you seem to be relying on might well be due to your point being 180 degrees backward. Again, the WotC survey is looking at "lapsed players" being "players not buying current WotC products" rather than "players no longer playing any version of D&D". If this is what you are relying on, it doesn't necessarily mean what you think it means. Pretty much "great", I'd say. My overall impression is that the product is a good deal, on average, for the price point. I just wish it was more clearly differentiated in its trade dress/advertising from the earlier Red Box.
