"The breadth and depth of tactical play/spontaneous tactical decision making from a nearly 20 year old game entirely outclasses and dwarfs anything ever seen in a cRPG ever since. EVER SINCE. " No.

EPIC FAIL. Nice try with the troll, though.

So, ASSuming you are telling the truth (I have my doubts) you named 5 games that you bashed yet you plan on buying 2 of them. That's 40%. L0L not quite 50% but still 40% is pretty high percentage for a list of games you trashed. HAHAHA! Don't like them, don't buy them. This should be the rule for ALL consumers. All you do is help convince them that these games sell.

Yet, you'll buy at least half of them. L0L

"Karkarov is right, BG2's "Counter the Mage" was boring and repetitive. If battles consist of the same tactics in every instance, then it isn't challenging." If you chose to do the same thing over and over that's on you. There were multiple ways to 'win' BG2 fights. Heck, I rarely used c'ounter spells' because I find only wussies and cowards use them. L0L

Obsidian employees didn't do anything with BG series. That was BIO. BIS was the publisher. That's it. And, very few if any Obsidian employees had any significant effect on the game. Only Obsidian's boss had an important role since he was the boss at BIS. "love the MIght & Magic series, and Ultima Underworld, and Dungeon Master, ToEE and even the IWDs, but are they true CRPGs?:\ Those are all 'true' CRPGs whatever that is supposed to mean. L0L

"Out of curiosity, what exactly was wrong with DS3 beyond it being a game with a playstyle you disliked?" How do you know I dislike the playstyle? Why are you lying about me? Don't make stuff up. DS3 is garbage and I expect a company like Obsiodian whose made awesome games like MOTB and FO:NV to do better than utter tripe. Period. \As for topic, eh, they'll release the game when it's done. Silly posters who think they can with any certainity tell the developers when the game is done 'enough' to be released early or late. As long as they don't take a ridiculous amount of time (common sense should determine this) no biggy.

"but they don't represent what the feminist movement is suppose to stand for. It does much more good than bad" The 'feminist' movement is sexist by its fairy nature. Feminism means feminism = good masculinity = bad because feminism = equality (lol) and masculinty = rape culture. LMFAO People who want TRUE equality are not feminists since Feminism is pro female and anti male. Period. TRUE equality is about equality between the genders. PERIOD. TEST: You find it understandable if a woman hits her boyfriend if she finds out he cheated on her and you think it is acceptable if she gets 'revenge' on him by breaking/trashing/stealing his stuff. Opposite side, if you find it unacdeptable for a man to hit his girlfriend under the same situation you are NOT a believer in equality. PERIOD. Also, youa re insulting both women and men in both scenarios even though you may THINK you ar ebeing pro WOMAN you aren't. \Why is it acceptable to view women as fragile creatures who are weak that need protection ala children when theya re grown adults? DISGUSTING anti women attitude. And, sadly, most feminists think like that. Another scenario: Man hits man. Man retaliates. That's okay. Woman hits man. Man retaliates. That's not okay. How do people who claim to beleive in equality think like that? It's insane!

Here's what I see. Obsidian releases a game and it's liked... all because of Obsidian awesomeness. Obsidian releases a game and it's disliked... all because of the publisher. LMAO

Look at that. Another troll personal attack post by an internet poster. Not surprising.

Just a reverse of how it used to be when the anti gay brigade were in power. If you were found out to be gay you werein big trouble. Doesn't make it any more right but let's be honest. Pro or anti gay the vast majority of people want to control everyone else. People simply don't believe in TRUE freedom. They want groupthink because that makes thing easier. True story.

"When you can either do exactly what an oftentimes mostly-business-oriented entity tells you (for whatever reasons they want it done, that aren't necessarily "Because we totally creatively feel like it's best for this design, ^_^") and receive money and actually be allowed to continue developing the game, OR not do what they say and have all your funding cut and be fired while they find someone else to finish their game, you're not really responsible for the entirety of that game's design, as a development team." Yes, yes you are. They signed the contract for x amount of dollars. Why should the people paying for it give you more money to screw up? It's like a house developer. He tells you x amount of dollars is acceptable then he comes back and says, hey, we need more money because of y.. why should you give him it? He agreed to do the work for x amount of dollars. If he couldn't handle it he should have said so from the start. I'd fire his behind and get someone in there who can actually do the job. No mercy no second chances. And, no more stealing and bleeding my money. Blaming the publisher is almost always a cop out used by cowards (and usually used by fanboys). Obsidian is responsible for both their good games and their bad games. That is undisputable FACT.

"I don't know why every word he says is held under an electron microscope, anyway." 'Cause this is the internet, and when you post on it you open yourself to feedback and other people's opinions on your opinion. It's not like he's original in that.

"I'm not saying don't play Durant at all, but why the heck would you play him 42 minutes in a essentially meaningless game?" Meaningless game. That's the definition of a cowardly, unsportsmanlike, wussy, and uncompetitive person. You are supposed to play to win. He should be allowed to play as much as he is physically able to. There is no 'meaningless' game. That's garbage talk. And, bringing up SA is epic fail. Different team, different coach, different players, different situation.

You cna it can do well. People are just too lazy. The FF series is no less complex than, say, FO. (that doesn't mean I think FF is a better rpg than FO) but facts are facts.

No. You don't bench your top players. That helps nobody. SA surely didn't look more fresh than MIA in last year's finals. Nice try, though.

Your cheesy method is not the way to prove a point.

"A race of BISEXUAL aliens whose boobs aged like wine." FIXED.

"why are you even here if you dislike Obsidian to that degree?" L0L Who says I dislike them. Did you read original post that the post I was quoted quoted? Go back. Also, read my sig, and then try to lie and besmirch my name by accusing me of 'disliking Obsidian so much'. LMAO I criticize because I care

She's hot.

13th is good. And, a DPOY is a player who plays geat defense which is what Hoqward does. It says a lot that he magically stopped winning that award after all the crying over the Orlando situation.

That's not Howard's fault. It's a reward for Best Defensive PLAYER *not* Best Defensive TEAM.

" I hope for a million, but anything above 500.000 is good in my book. Not mindblowing success, but a success nontheless." Oh, I agree. Half a mil isn't anything to sneeze at all and would be good but it's certainly not a 'major' success.

"but you don't prevent the dice from failing unless you eliminate any and all chance of failure." What's the fun in it?
