"Also I would ask you to consider that most of the films that make it in the box office feature special effects or 3D, that's why there is a high demand to put out crap like "Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" or "Hansel & Gretel"." Yet, films liek these, the amount of money spent on the actors is small comapred to special effects since those aren't driven by said actors. Even series like Twilight and Harry potter, the actors are not apid much intil later when thes eries is a hit. The actors deserve (mostly) what theya re paid. And, the ones who don't or start to fall tend to get start losing money. Why do you want the companies to keep up the money? Do you REALLY think if the stars get their pay cut that money would then go to the crew? L0L No. It'll go directly to the big wigs. Why do you want them to be richer? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM!?!

"They are replaceable, as most of the stars of major blockbusters lack talent and their only selling point is their perceived good looks you can easily take another would be actor." You don't know how things work. If being good looking was all it took there'd be a lot more actors popular since even the least well known actors tend to be 'perceived' as acting. And, 'lack talent' is eye of the holder' crap that is totally irrelevant. "Plus in the utilitarian sense, they don't work more than the rest, its not worth to outsource a whole company's job just so they get more money than they can possibly need." It's not mrerely about hours. The stars tend to do more amrketing, ar eon set more often, and have more demands on them. The stars also drive tickets more than your typical plebian actor. You obvioously don't know hwo the market work. Do you REALLY think the studios CHOOSE to pay actors 10mil+? L0L If they could get a way with it, they'd gladly pay them mininum wage, and keep all the money for themselves. Youa re other ignorant o a tool of the studios. Why do you hate actors so much but love studios? L0LZ I get it. It's the Green Monster.. the common folk tend to be constantly inflicted it even as they spend money to watch the rich get richer. L0LZ "Technically, the VFX studios often work more than the actors. They can work similar schedules to a game develoepr, putting in 60-80 hour weeks during an active project." Nobody pays to watch tech employee a b c much like firefighters. They pay to go watch Sandra Bullocks,Vin Diesels, and the like.

Nonsense. if those 'ponces' sell tickets and get people to want to watch them they most assuredly deserve it. Eitehr them or the companies who make billions off of them. Why do you ant the movie companies to have all the money? Are you paid by them to pimp them out and give them all the credit. And, don't bring up garbage like doctors and fire fighters not making enough depsite the so called myth that they are 'worthy'. When youa re willing to pay $10 to watch a firefighter do his job for 2 hours then they'll make more money.

Kaine, they just don't understand, the giggles of having fun.

Yer momma's tit, ya!

"do it since Dragon Age: Origins with free friendship items and free equipment. I would understand position when, for example, new store is added, like Black Emporium, but then they started to hand items for free. DS suffered from such issues as well, when you started with every weapon and ****load of resources from the beginning." DA is SP. What items people use in their own game is up to them and doesn't effect you. If youd ecide to use the items in questions that is your choice. As for MP, there are lots of items in the game, no biggie. Of course professional game companies are there to make money - if they don't make money... just ask Troika what happens then....

You must be high. I use the REAL quote feature. "x" is how quoting is done. None of this fake quoting nonsense that the internet has dumbed down for the peons. Not my fault you don't know how to read quotes properly and now you falt out lie. I never wrote that so don't make stuff up.

Hey, as long as the standing obsidian forums policy is to post in threads dedicated tog ames the poster hates, I shall abide to said rule myself. I'm a follower that way.

Your reply is illogical and doesn't make sense at all. Are you drunk perchance?

"EA needs to die, the fill the market with a wave of crap and lower everyone's standards." They have more awesome games than any othe rpublisher evar. That's a fact, jack, and don't let your lies cloud the judgement.

No, i heard of the game because of that. But, it looked like it was gonna be awesome and was looking forward to it. I even bragged about it and pimped it for them. It was disspaointing, Why do you think I'm so bitter? l0lz

"think its really commendable that a relatively small company like CPR has been able to create a fantasy franchise that rivals, for many people, the popularity of Elder Scrolls and games like Dragon Age." They're not a small company. They are friggin' publisher - soemthing BIO was/is not. CPR also was smart enough to piggy back on BIO by using their name to pimp Twitcher. I know I'd never would have known or cared or wasted my moolah on Twitcher 1 if it wasn't for BIO. And, they didn't create crap. They used someone else's franchise. You coem talk to me when they create their own DA or ME. Or RE, GTA, or D. Etc., etc. Or, hell, even my most hated franchise ES series.

Yet all this 'goodwill' EA has lots yet millions of people still buy their games. L0LZ Seems to me, theys till have lots of good will.

Nobody is gonna port BG2 into DA. The same silliness was talked about NWN as well. Porting BG2 into it. BG2 is too alrge of a game to waste time putting into another engine. Not unless it was a professionally paid for team. Not private yahoos. "For the others OC=NWN and it was lackluster at best." Lots of people have stated quitye clearly they like NWN OC. Don't speak for others. "The two groups played a completelly different game" Nope.

Yeah, but DA was 'spiritual successor' to DA, BG, KOTOR, ME, MDK, SS, and probably another 20 non BIO games. L0L

yeah, but

"For being undisputable, it sure is disputed a lot, by a lot of people." Your definitiion of 'people' is in question. Not to mention undisputable. *I* decide what the best games are. Nobody else.

"As long as they deliver a great game" Too bad they've yet to do that. ... Though the pictures are certainly pretty.

"The reason why noone asks for NWN its because it was a poor game" Actually, lots of people ask for and about NWN. It's a really popular game still played by a number of people. It's also getting a 'spiritual successor'. It's called Neverwinter and is going to have a toolset as well. Too bad it's gonna really suck. NWN is the ebst RPG of all time. This is undisputable. Anyone who disagrees is simply wrong. The OC is better than people give it credit for as well. Certainbly better than BG and that rip off KOTOR for darn sure. LONG LIVE NWN DEATH TO ALL OTHER GAMES!!!

Yeah, I've been a Blue Jays fan too but I've been lukewarm since they've been fooling around forever. This eyar, the excitement is very real. That said, I don't know why they rehired a coach who did nothing but be a loser for them and espicially one with a poor attitude and a violent angry temper issue. That said, he's said all the right things sicne being rehired but we'll see how it goes. Of course, he's likely tro try to steal all the credit for nay success when any success should be given to the GM for his mvoes and the players for being talented.

Yup. I read the same thing as Amentep. Funnily enough, after the show was over, Wuher admitted she was rather mean towards Loyd on the set and was oevrall a big jerk. She apologized to Loyd who accepted it and theya re now friends. But, yeah, the producers were scumbags. Plus both FOX and SCIFI for whatever reason loathed the show despite its solid success. FOX actually wanted to cancel it even before it aired once andd efinitely before the end of S1. Oerwinde is right though. The endings of the two characters (Prof and Wade were intentionally over the top as some sort of sick 'payback'. L0L Even the way O'Connell's chaarcter ended up leaving ended up being needlessly vengeful. L0L Silly networks.

"Kari Wuhrer got hired and was making more than her, who had been there since day one." Not quite true. They didn't get along. The Wade actress was paid as much if not more. However, she went to the PTB and told them it was either her or Kari. They chose Kari b/c they they prefered her and she was cheaper. But, ia gree, the bosses were extremely vindictive.

But spreading lies is. It's evil. Just like it was evil to accuse me of getting married to anyone. Only scumbags troll like that. The guy is a piece of crap who should be destroy for being evil.

Manny is awesome. People who hate him are weak cowards. Boston's BETRAYAL of him was their downfall.

Just watched the epidsode where the professor is killed. The actors - espciially Davis - do very well with it but such a waste. Espciially b/c it happened only b/c of stupid behind the scene drama and not for story or plot reasons.
