"Calling Mass Effect a "cRPG" is fundamentally incorrect. It was clearly designed to be a console-oriented game." No. It's a CRPG. Quality is irrelevant. That's actually what it is. It's also part of the 'sub genre' of ARPG ala Twitcher, Divine Divinity, and Vampire Bloodlines. \P.S. Consoles ARE computers. And, ME is also on PCs so even if you go stupid console vs PC it STILL fits the CRPG genre. Nice try, though. This idea that only good games can be CRPGs is dumb. Have we not forgotten trash like POR:ROMD or Descent to Undermountain?

Whichever comes first.

"I don't think they're helped by their fans being delusionary fanatics however, whom want to hear no word of criticism or requests for improvement. Criticism is always warranted as nothing ever achieves perfection." \That's funny since their 'fans' criticze their games all the time on their forums. Try criticizing an Obsidian game here. You get attacked by crazy fanboys. This is the worst forum for crazy fanboys defending their home turf and I say though I like Obsidian and mhalf their games. Don't throws stone while living in a glass forum. \P.S. Before you accuse me of being a BIO 'fanboy', I found ME3 oevrrated and I didn't even bother finishing it. BIO's writing is better than majority of game writing including lot of Obsidian writing . *cough* AP *cough* You read novels based on video games? HAHAHAHAHA! You hate BIO writing but you bought a novel based on their game? HAHA!@

"Only after you admit to being a ditry, unwashed, unecudated redneck pedophile canibalistic hooker who was abducted by space aliens and forced into a weight loss program." I admit it. Now you admit it.

"Despite the fact the crisis over Iran has been reduced" No, it hasn't. The big crisis over Iran is everyone knows theya re on their way to make a nuclear bomb. They still are. How is the crisis reduced? Iran doesn't negotiate.They never have never will. Afterall, the US is the Great Satan. Why would they negotiate with the devil. LMAO "Islamism is pretty much 100% a reaction to Western (Christian) colonialism and intervention in Muslim lands." L0L It's about extremism over religious text and raping virgins in heaven.

Yeah, but he also threatened me. That is war. And, I'm no shark. I'm just an internet loser like everyone else here.

Are you really trying to threaten me with such gibberish? L0L The point stands - DOS' final boss is super easy. The 'chapter 1' boss iwas actually a threat. But final boss/ Nah. The first fight with undead on the very first beach was a bigger threat.

I think the problem with them just going with the white male is it sticks out as laziness. Like, none of their games' stories would really change if you play a female or someone who isn't white. And, I'm definitely not one of those silly people who go all wacko about those type of issues. I've played all the Gothics (not 4) and Risen 1. They all can be fun and have their positives but eventually they just get boring and I stop playing. Not out malice but just out of *shrugginess factor tm*. I'll probably play this one eventually and the same thing will happen. I'll like it, I'll enjoy it, but it will just blasse out...

"The final boss is easy. But he is by no means a cakewalk." He *is* a cakewalk. He is no threat. He just has a lot of hit points. One of the easiest end fights ever.

That's what the Isreali kidnappers say. That's not evidence. they could have easily tortured him into confession. I don't neccessarily think that but if you think the anti Isreali/Jew Brigade will somehow think otherwise you are mistaken.

"Army? Crushed. Oil reserves? Depleted. Fighting potential? Minimal. No, Japan didn't pose a "Serious threat" to the US. The US just watned a UNCONDITIONAL surrender, not a conditional one. And yes, when you get the entire world arrayed agasint you and when your'e beaten badly and pushed back, I'd say you don't posses a credible threat. Nations in WW2 and generally always want to end the war on their terms regardless of cost. They don't want to just defend their territory - once they start winning they want to take as much as they can. The military and industrial powerhouse that is US looking over their shoulder? HA! You must be living in some fantasy land of your own to think Japan would be able to touch the USA near the end of the war. It was outnumbered, outteched, outgun and lacking everything, including the abiltiy to project power with it's entire navy in shambles and it's airforce a mere shadow of it's self." 1. Don't start something you can finish. 2. Don't join up with scumbag Nazis if you can't handle the punishment. 3. The blame is 100% on Japanese gov't. 4. If Japan can move on from it when they are the ones who suffered, perhaps you should. I mean, Japan and US are butt buddies now. 5. I personally thinkthe nuking went overboard and was the wrong and most wasteful thing to do no matter the excuses to justify it. 6. Just admit to being an anti Amerika bigot who would support nazis, scuimbag invaders, and child users no matter what. That's cool but just admit it.

Yes. Theorn > Hardy loser. if there is gonna be a replacement for Mel it should be someone worthy. And, a HOT woman is ALWAYS worthy.

, "Theron seems to be absolutely badass in this movie, with a good amount of screen time. " From the sounds of it, they should have just gone all the way, and called the film Mad Maxine (or Maxi) and call it a day.

He's waiting to join the docs' new studio that they will start up with the millions EA paid them.

Sure, you do. You are one of the better ones. \More on topic, Legend of Heroes has better TB combat than DOS.

"Divinity: Original Sin on PC and Tactics Ogre (PSP version) on PC. cant't get any better than this. In TO, I just recruited Sherri and in Divinity, I'm in Hunter's Edge." \if you can't get better tb rpg than DOS you need to play better tb rpgs. I'm playing NWN, Legend of Heroes, and NBA 2K14. I'm playing or just played other games but they'r enot worth mentioning.

The only thing to know about all these BIO divisions is that theya re all EA divisions. That's good or bad depending on your view. I personally like EA because it's in the game.

"BioWare Austin" GAME OVER.

"Which may even be good enough to become Bioware's first 10 Million selling video game." A BIO game will never sell 10mil copies. Also, of course EA is to 'blame'. EA *is* BIO. DA2 has more role-playing in its pinky finger than any ES game. Those games are trash. I like how a fool claims the last 3 games supposedly 'bombed' even though all 3 far outsold BG series. LMAO They all sold well. Anyone who thinks a BIO game will sell 10mil copies are delusional. You role-play Hawke and shape his perosnality through decisions made, and can effect quest endings and other chaarcters. And, people react to your choices. That is role-playind.

"Bioware themselves have acknowledged the successful RPG designs and elements in Bethesda games, and have promised to implement them in DA:I." You think I give a crap what BIO thinks? Those are the toolbags who are resposnible for trash like Minsc and Deekin. ow, let's compare the role playing options of a recent Bioware game like, DA2 vs Skyrim. "Races: DA2-Must be a human. Skyrim-Plenty of races." Meaningless crap. Role-llaying is not about the useless character model you look at. "Dialog: DA2-Stupid dialog wheel doesn't even let you know what you are going to say." That's funny. I knew what I was gonna say when I selected the response. "Skyrim-Text responses; much better for role-playing." Poorly written garabge that changes nothing important. Game Pace: "DA2-Stuck in a town and can only talk to highlighted npcs." And, you can make important decisions that effect quests , story, and the character. "Skyrim- Big open world, can go anywhere you want, and can talk to whomever you want." Boring crap that means nothing. Super Mario brothers is a better RPG than any ES crap game. The truth hurts.

"You do realize that Bethesda did games like Morrowind, arguably one of the greatest fantasy RPG of all time?" L0L

"In terms of role-playing Bethesda has certainly been beating Bioware." No. No, they haven't. Everything about their games are trash. Even BIO's worst game role-playing wise (BG1) crushes Bethesda's best efforts.

"However, I find it really annoying how Bioware for some reason overhauls everything when they make new game, new aesthetics, new gameplay, writing changes and even retcons if you take a notice... All ME and DA games are so darn different from each other that its just annoying how they seem to be inable to keep things at least somewhat consistent." Well, people have been around for a long time would tell you that BIO used to be blasted for their games all being the 'same' and for never changing. Now the new kids are whining that they change things. L0L The internet. "To me, Bethesda is actually ahead of BioWare in RPG terms recently" Bethesda has always, is, and always will be crap. They have NEVER made a RPG worthy of even a 5. The worst RPG company of all time. I'll even take Twitcher series over them. Or *shudder* ME3 or Lionheart.

"I maybe a thief, but no more so then everyone else here. I buy the games I like, I also happen to like games I buy more, then those I pirate. Games I pirate, I am happy I did not pay for only to decide I did not like them. Lets face it, everyone uses torrents. If you do not, then your either lying for attention or something, or not not using a computer the way billions of others do." Some of us don't steal from other people because we are better people than you. I don't steal games. In fact, plenty of my RL friends (lol they don't exist ) have tried to give me blank discs with copied games and I tell them to get lost. I also find it HILARIOUS that you would steal soemthing you claim you don't even like. That doesn't even make sense unless you plan to sell it for profit. Why are you a scumbag thief?

"Of course you don't take me seriously. To do so, would mean you'd have to actually go learn yourself some things, think, and admit you're wrong. The latter is likely your biggest obstacle, it is for most. It's much easier to hold onto that paradigm given to you, and to buy that BS being peddled with other people's blood, as you don't need to truly think or actually do any work yourself." It's like looking into a mirror, right?
