    "Volo I've mentioned this to you before but the main issue some people have with your comments is that at times you make controversial but short, or monosyllable, posts and then don't engage in debate around what you think. But I have noticed a real effort on your part lately to explain what you mean. So keep up the more informative explanations I know you don't like being referred to as a Troll ( who does I know it annoys me when people say I'm a troll ) and your opinion is valid even if people don't agree. But you will get more people taking you seriously if you continue to engage in proper debating etiquette" *yawn* I'll take you seriously when you stop being a self hating man hater. L0L And, actually discuss topics instead of posters. Can't wait to see the best dwarf ever in action again!

    "An unknown eastern European developer making a 40 hour RPG as their first game to compete on the world market with Bioware then proceed to sell around 3 million copies of the game by word of mouth.... fiasco?" I wouldn't call it a fiasco myself. But, yous eem surprised? Witcher 1 was heavily pimped by BIO themselves. If you try to poo poo that connection than you just poo poo the whole iidea of 'word of mouth' that you mentioned sicne BIO has lots of people they can connect with . And, yeah, it sold 3mil copies but it did so because it got like 25,000 releases and the fanboys bought each one. L0L I don't know if Witcher actually has a million buyers sicne people just keep rebuying it. Heh. It should be pointed out that CCP nearly went bankrupt as well so all that money they supposedly paid barely did much. Not to mention all the projects they continually cancel. \ They have no original. Their one IP is based on someone else's work, and they have literally beat it to death. Good on them. Sale their Witcher 20.

    Why are you crying? Discuss the game (s) not the person. I'm not here to be your buddy. I am her to discuss games. I entered this trhead to disucss DAI but people liek you want to discuss Witcher so I obliged you. You are just mad because I don't love it like you do. Go post in the Witcher thread if you don't like different opinions on it since I rarely post it in. But, if you are gonna spam a non Witcher thread with posts about it I will slam it because the game is horrible. I've given my reasons many times. Do a search. \Now, you can keep whining about me, spam about Witcher, or we can get back to the actual topic. Your choice.

    You make no sense. You bash me for bringing up Witcher when I wasn't the one who did so. Someone else did and I responded. You are not butthurt about Witcher being discussed. You are butthurt about me bashing it. If I said I loved it there would be no issue between us right now, right? Right. Just admit.

    "By the same token, just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it's just flat out garbage. People like what they like, and nothing you say will change that. " No, duh. I like plenty of popular stuff. That isn't the point I made though. The point is I don't base what I like on what others do.My opinion is my own. "Basically what I'm saying is, Your opinion is insignificant and unneeded. Especially in a thread that's not even about CDProject or the Witcher series." \ L0LL0L0L0L I'm not the one who brought up Twitcher, right? Someone else did so I responded. Don't be so butthurt. I doubt you'd care if I was praising Twitcher. My opinion is as significant and needed as every other opinion in this thread so look into the mirror. Also, i apologize for hurting your boyfriend. My bad, Witcher, my bad.
  7. Volourn
    Yeah, because they released Twitcher 1 like 20,000 different times so people who liked it kept buying it. L0L It's probably 100 people with multiple copies that make up the 7mil. HAHAHA

    "A pity, TW1 is far better than NWN2 or anything else released in that period." NWN2 is way better. No contest. Twitcher sucks. Plain and simple.

    "Given you've said you like Dragon Age, or implied it, when it really has no significant factor above any of these other things you mentioned, I find it hard to take you seriously." wut? Your response makes zero sense.

    "Witcher 3 is one of the most anticipated games on most gaming sites. That didn't happen because they suck at everything. But let your rage flow all the same." I don't give a crap what the masses like. If I did, I'd like crappy Avengers as well. Or the crappy Twilight. Or the crappy Harry Potter. Or the crappy ES series.

    "I've said this before and I'll say it again "white, straight males don't need a safe place. Everywhere is our safe place " If you watched Die Hard 3, you wouldn't believe that fallacy. \Why do you hate white men so much? Show me where the white man touched your body.
  12. Volourn
    They suck. Bottom line.
  13. Volourn
    CDP sucks. At graphics. At writing. At music. At C&C. At characters. At story. At RPG. At combat. At gameplay. At everything. Except b00bies. That's all they are good for. Those screens look awesome. Espicially the snowy ones.

    It works either way considering the subject matter!

    "I dread to think that they might ruin him "a la Anders", returning characters could either be very good(if they stick to what the character is) or very bad(if they decide to try their hand at development)." They didn't 'ruin' Anders. They had him 'grow', change, and adapt. He was already on the path in DA1. I enjoyed putting the psycho out of his misery. i knew he was crazy in DA1 the moment he wanted to have sex with a cat. "its a fantasy - its the one way you'll see a guy actually acting right in a relationship". \That's evil.

    **** pic in the email/private message? You think only women get those? L0LZ I get those once and awhile too, and I'm male and hetereosexual. You know what i do/ I erase it, and move on. I'm certainly not scarred for life. But, then again, i'm not a weak woman who needs protection from the evilist, disgusting, not worthy of being called human - the human male. Eww.. Filthy things. let's avoid them whenever we can. \Why do people not value themselves? 'Rape culture'. L0LZ All men are rapists. HAHAHA! \*reads a story where a woman cut off a man's ****, another storywhere a woman murder nearly 10 of her babies.* But, men are the bad guys? of course,. there are bad men. And, good men. And, good women. And, bad women. It's not news. Stop treating women like they are little babies that need to be cuddled. Stop treating men like they are the plague who only think of raping women and are simply monsters. \It's disrespectful to both genders.

    "Characterization and acting are way better than Raimi's films." No.

    "Obsidian could be banking on millions of affable foreigners, even Albanians." L0LZ P.S. Obsidian is not a 'small pizza' shop. Small pizza shops are lucky to have 10-20 employees MAX and pay them giddly squat. Obsidian has 100+ employee and they pay them upwards of 50k if not more not to mention all the fancy ebenfits I'd wager the typical Obsidian employee gets. People try to pretend that Obsidian is some rinky dinky independent developer working in a basement WHICH THEY ARE NOT. Stop trying to make beleieve that they cans ell 1 copy of their game and still make lots of money. LMAO Plus, 'make a profit' is meaningless slang. that profit could be $10 meaning worthless or $1million which in the big scheme of things is not that big long term, or it could be $100billion.

    "Yeah, I liked David Gaider better when he was not a raging crudbasket. Yes, a vast majority of BioFans are cartoonishly ridiculous, but he just goes over the line." He doesn't go over the line at all. Why you mad, bro, why you mad?

    ". If male gamers make personal attacks against female gamers, will they feel welcome?" Oh, give me a break. Gamwers - male or female - make personal attacks on each other all the time. They aren't 'attacking' female posters because theya re female theya re attacking them because they are posters. \Why do people in 2014 hate and look down on women so much that they view them as weaklings that need to be cuddled? That's insulting. That's insulting to plenty of women I know who can take care of themselves just fine without being babied. \Grown ass woman can take care of herself just like a grown ass man can take care of himself. Now for the tennieboppers who post on the internet, time to grow up and learn how to deal with people who disaree with you. O M G

    "The recent boob armour discussion is a good example. Mihura posted she didn't like boob armour. (I'm assuming she's a girl). Also, I noticed that it was the guys who wanted boob scale armour or didn't have a problem with it. Yet, when a female posts her dislike for it, there's immediate disagreement from the guys." Wait a sec. Someone posts an OPINION. People who disagree with said OPINION post their opinion. WTH is wrong with that? \Isn't that what internet forums are/should be about? OMFG
  22. Volourn
    Another thread bashing women and calling them weak babies who need their hand held and need to be taken care of. DISGUSTING women hating. I'm of the belief that a woman can take care of herself and doesn't need a hero to defend her 'honour'. That's sick, twisted caveman crap.

    Obsidian is not some rinky dinky company. They should be able to reach 1mil. they are a company with decdes of ties to the industry and are responsible for very successful games including the super seller FO:NV which has outsold any BIO game (the company they are most comapred to). The goal should be 1million. The minimum should be 5k - espicially if they have had 80k copies alread 'sold' through the backing system since those are the ahrdcore which are the minority of potential consumers. And, 2mil+ shouldn't be out of the question. I think people insult Obsidian by syaing they shouldn't expect more than 100-200k. 500k is acceptable and would likely mean money was made 1mil should be the goal. \ That said, JFSOCC is correct. It is something that can't really be 'predicted'. Way too many factors. History/populairty of comapny, type of game, potential marketing, word of mouth, reviews, etc., etc.

    Uh DA2's is basically 'save the world' (city state). It starts personal but ultimately isn't. The gameplay is basically *almost* as deep as DA's. However, I do agree the repetive places was definitely A Bad Thing tm.

    The problem with Gothic (though it's a BILLIOn times better than ES0 is that after awhile the games lose their charm, and start to feel 'samey' and the lack of motivation to continue starts to happen. The narrative is really weak. The bext games to handle exporation/character growth are the M&Ms. Their stories are okay at best and the writing is service but the exploration/character system is solid and keeps the player invested in the game.
