"I certainly don't need a diversified portfolio from Obsidian, I mean nobody wants to play a shooter from them. Just stick with RPGs. Both 3rd party IP and Original." Exactly. But, make them good. "I'm couting since Obsidian's creation, obviously. Five IPs, against Bioware's four. In one of those IPs, Obsidian did 3 games very different in tone, basically covering the whole spectrum of the IE games. And in one year, Obsidian released three very different games, while Bioware released one game, its two sequels (one of them poorly received by fans) and another sequel." So, you ignore history. That's beautiful. As for being 'recieved poorly' by fans.. that's not true for DA2 at all. Recieved poorly by SOME fans yet still not as poorly as some of Obsidian's games. Ha. Ther eis very little diversity in Obsidian's portfolio. Hardly any at all.

"Obsidian is diverse in its offering" Obsidian's offerings aren't that diverse and certainly not more diverse than BIO's. BIO has made games like MDK2, BG2, NWN, JE, ME, and S:RPG. throw in the internet based games.. That's A LOT more diverity than Obsidian which outside of the epic fialure of AP their games are limited to sequels to popular games. This worked for NWN2 and KOTOR2 which were fun games. "Different styles, different focus, different games." No.

I hope it's different than DS1 as DS1 sucked a lot. DS3 better be better than a game that is 1/10.

"Honestly, compare it to DA2, how can you possibly say it is worse?!" Easy. DA2 is very likely better than DS3. if the combat, graphics, character system, and story are as poorly done in the main game as theya re in the demo... yup, it's definitely worse. But, looks like most people agree that DA2 is better than DS3. Their opinion shouldn't effect yorus though. I'm crossing my finegrs that the main game of DS3 is better than the demo of DS3.

" I remember back in the days when PC games were the best and top notch. " You apparantly don't remember crpapy PC games like DS, ES series, DTU, POR2, etc., etc. PC games were NEVER the 'best' (or the 'worst').

I waS looking for DS3, but I have to say that the demo is horrible. Thankfully, I don't base purchases on lame demos... but, my god, if the game is anythjing like the demo... EPIC FAIL. I'll have to wait a bit before purchasing DS3... Too bad too...

I like Mr. U, but he is is imply wrong here. As mentioned on the Codex, even main stream sports games like NBA 2K11 and Madden feature character creation and hits you with more stats, rules, and stuff than any RPG cna ever hope to. To claim that mainstrema agmers cna't handle stats or character creation is just plain balony. Last i checked NWN series were gretas ellers yet their characetr creation systems weren't exactly akin to what he claims sellls and NWN2 wasn't THAT long ago. There are no facts to back up his arguments in this case. Sorry.

"Sony Epic WoW League of Legends Sega Bethesda/Brink cia.gov FBI (particularly agregious)" BIO, too, I believe as they lost the old NWNJ and NWN2 boards. R00fles! Though, I' m sure that's more a copycat thing.

"Actually stats is just an application of logic and maths, usually to a science. You're rambling again dude." In theory, yes, in practice, no. Problem with stats is they are too eaisly manipulated and twisted to show what you want which makes them suspiciousn and untrustworthy unless youw ere actually a part of the process.

Yeah, same here. Stats: The Clutch of People Who Make Stuff Up While Tryting To Act Like They Know A Big Secret When they Don't.

" as well as blasting management for 'pressuring him to play injured'. " Good for him. They deserve it. Oilers' management are full of scumbags. And, why woudl you guys wnat Drury? The guy is plain trash.

They don't put him in the net they still lose. You can't win if you can't score. Simple mathematics. Canucks don't get out of the 1st round w/o Luongo. Trust me on that.

Whyb dom people always feel the need to blame the victim? yet, if someoebody does nothing, they then bash them for doing nothing. It's disgusting. The people whoa re to blame 100% are the scumbag pieces ofc rap who did it. Period. STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM!!!

Depends what type of saves theya re. if they're shots from 25' out not so impressive. But, yup, he was definitely awesome. Then again, a lot easier to be awesome when you have Zdeno Chara in front of you.

"Anyone who says a goalie can't win a game didn't see Thomas though. Without him it would have been a very different series." Disagree. Boston was simply the better team. Vancouver's offense and defense were anemic while Luongo was hot and cold. That said, i agree about the pathetic Vancouver punks. Extremely disgusting and shameful. Scumbags.

Dragon Age 2 is a damn good game. way better than that overrated KOTOR and BG1 crap.

Grats to the Bruins. And, as mentioned above, kudos for Thomas for never giving even after getting screwed early on his career. Probably one of the best seasons + playoffs ever for a goalie. "Luongo may be the popular scapegoat for a while, but there's a bunch of forwards on that Canucks team that didn't bring it to this series. And 0 goals from the back end as well." This. A thousand times this. Espicially taking into consideration the 3 Canuck wins were alrgely because of Luongo 'cause even in those games the Canuck forwards/defensemen weren't exactly fantastic. The Bruins were clearly the better tyeam. All 4 of their wins were by 3+ goals. Makes it easier for any goalie - including Thomas - to get things done. One thing I'm happy about I get to see another year of my fellow arrogant Kanadians crying about how we can't even win the most conveted championship in 'our' sport. R00fles!

Yeah, I'm with you. I didn't care about the series but the goalie drama is so fun. Thomas has been rock solid throughout and Luongo has been a yo yo. Damn near perfect at home, and looking like an amaeture on the road. Should be a fun game 7! Too bad I will most (most) of it due to work.

boston defense and skaters and goalie and coaches > canuck defense and skaters and goalie and coaches. the Canucks have not won 3 games in the finals b/c of their skaters. They did so b/c of their goalie. The Bruins have not won 3 games in the finals b/c of their goalie. they did so b/c of their skaters. Easy to play goaltender when your skaters get up 4-0 within 10 minutes of the game's start. L0LZ Maybe Thomas can proof he can play when the pressure is on in a tight game during game 7. then again, it's easy to play goalie when you have one of the best defensemen in the entire league.

Define 'much better'. They're both Vezina candidates (though Thomas will deservedly win it). How can you claim Boston a ****ty team? they did alright last year IN SPITE of Thomas NOT because of him. Afterall, this is a guy who lost his starting job and was considered a 'one season wodner' where everybody trashed him except me as I defended him. Now, everyone is right back on the hypociritcal Thomas bandwagon. I know two things - Canucks don't win the President's Trophy or reach game 7 of the finals without Luongo. P.S. What's so great about the Canucks? The Sedins and their minus 1 billion? Kesler and his overhyped weiner? Their patchwork defense put sloppily togetehr? Their totally outclassed coach? Their pathetic criminal fans whoa r eno doubt gonna riot in the streets win or lose game 7 ala '94? HA! Once again, mcuh eaiser to be a great goalie when you have one of the best defensemen in the league playing half the game in front of you. Why do people conviently forget Zdeno Chara? Talk about udnerrated.

"The best thing Obama has done for your country, and I don't say this lightly, because it's a huge deal, is to reset America's relationship with the ENTIRE rest of the world. Especially the Western and Islamic worlds. Because, seriously guys, everyone everywhere was kind of starting to lose a lot of faith with you after the whole Bush debacle." L0LZ

"Mitt Romney acknowledges that humans cause climate change and that humans need to act to prevent climate change from destroying the planet." But, this is a myth. Climate change is not destroying the planet. The worse it will do will make it uninhabitable for humans but it is not 'destroying' the planet. Why do people try to claim otherwise? The earth has been around for way longer than us pitfiul shiort lived humans. The arrogance to claim that something we do can destroy it is completely and utterly lauhable. Climate change exists and humans can midly cause it to occur but it will NOT destroy the planet. I really don't see a republican winning this election unless Obama completely screws his platform up.

I wonder if Thomas can win a close game in these finals. He only wins if hi team kicks ass. Poor Luongo has such a ****ty team in front of him - only way he can win is if he completely shuts down the opposition. Game 7 should be fun. Either team can win. Sedins should actually try to do something this time. R00fles! P.s. Garbage that Thomas got 1st star since he is not the reason they won last night. The Bruins wer eup 4-0 within 10 minutes. Easy to be a goaltender when your team scores so many goals so quickly. He's probably gonna win the Conn Smythe though. Great goalie so no worries there.

NHL analysts are very often wrong.
