Volourn

I'm my own person, damnit. Any 'affect' that society may have on me is absolutely trumped by my sense of self, personality, background, and nature. Period.

Then explain why I don't like everything 'society' supposedly tells me too. Tell me why I don't give a crap about Pokeman. Tell me why I don't give a crap about The Dark Knight. Tell me why I don't give a crap about lobster. Tell me why i don't think Jennifer Lopez is the most beautiful woman in the world. Tell me why I am not in love with Gaga's music. Tell me why I like BIO when society tells me I should hate them. Tell me why I'm not smoking a dobie even though society tells me its cool and I should. If I do whats coiety tells me to why don't I do these things? Your logic is ridiculous.

"DA2 suffers from subpar combat AND from being DA1.5" DA2 has pretty damn good combat. Obsidian has released two good games, 1 crappy game, and one indifferent game. BIO has released 9 good games, and 3 indifferent games. R00fles! BIO wins. Soro. Soro never changes.

"Ah, so it's just a coincidence that you happen to live in a society where media tells you that 36-24-36 is attractive and you also believe that 36-24-36 is attractive." Except for the fact I never said that. I find all sorts of women attratcive. Even some 'bigger' girls. R00fles! Not, fatties though. They're just plain disgusting (and I can say that because I am a disgusting specimen too so I feel their pain). R00fles! (not fat though just ugly, r00fles!) I don't judge a woman's attratciveness by numbers. That's ridiculous nor do iw ait for 'society' to tell me who is hot or not. That's dumb. Just like I don't let society tell me what foods, movies, books, games, actors, sports, and other crap to like or dislike. "Well, ever notice how recently it's become attractive for adult women to have no hair anywhere except on their heads?" wut? That's recent? R00fles! And, lots of people like 'hairy' women. LMAO Poor L0F can't stand when people disagree with him. It's hialriously so internetz...

"You really think that the media has no effect on you finding a good pair of breasts attractive? Am I reading this sentence right? " Nope. My body influences me. Media wants me to believe that seafood like lobster is so awesome and cool and hipe but my body tells me that it's disgusting. Media wants me to go go gag over the 'best movie ever' The Dark Knight but i find it just average. Media wants me to be gungo over shows like Lost, Heroes, and 24 but I couldn't really give a crap about them. I find women attractive because I am attracted to them. I am less attratced to fatties because I'm simply not attracted to them. i'm not attracted to women with bones sticking out because that grosses me out. I'm attaracted to beautiful women that i find beautiful. Period. Are you a lemming?

"As if DA 2 is that different to DA 1. " That's ok. I find the games pretty much equal. So.. you are preaching to the choir, baby. :oh yeah, now you have to press A over and over to fight." *shrug* I pretty much used one mouse click in FO as well. Don't impress me much.

Yeah, but KOTOR2 suffers with subpar combat (like KOTOR1), and LV suffers from being FO3.5.... And, DA2 is way better than KOTOR2. Haven't played FO3.5 yet so can't judge it too harshly but, it *is* FO3.5.... *shudder*

That's how most old games are too. Games. Games never change.

Nah.

"And Volourn, I guess that makes me a wuss, but I'm not afraid to admit. But what does that make you? " Someone who is anti petition? Yeah, that.

Baby 'jebus' aka baby jesus is a mass murderer so I don't give a crap if he's crying. He can wail away.. I'll just point and laugh at his evilness!

" talent that were being wasted at troika gots dispersed to other more viable developers." Yeah, like that guy who went into real estate! Or those guys who went into MMO development? Or those guys who vanished into thin air enver to be heard of again! R00fles!

"look, is ok to complain that bio shoulda' taken their time and made a fifty-hour game WITH unique maps as 'posed to a thirty-hour game with recycle. bio made all kinda stoopid claims 'bout how their changes to da2 were for benefit o' players and not resource saving shortcuts. well shucks, mike couldn't find no way to dress-up recycled maps as a feature or boon, so he did the unimaginable-- he told the truth. the thing that bothered Gromnir is not the anger directed at mike, but rather the fact that the anger were seeming misplaced. on the other hand, some folks likes to parrot bio without doing any thinking of their own... which is convenient for bio, but is very discouraging. peoples Should complain 'bout recycled maps, but folks so easy split into the hate v. love camps that it not matter what a developer actually says. if love bio, then mike must be right. if hate bio, then surely mike is a filthy liar. too easy. " You post like I somehow like or support the reusing of maps in DA2. Which is funny since it's one of my biggest beefs of the game. R00fles!

Doubtful.

No. MMO is being done in a different country. Yeah, computers and internet, but I still doubt it. There's probably some small overlap; but not major. EA wants BIO to release 1-2 games a year. That's what happens. I dislike the resused maps but the writing, story, and characters which ar ebetter than DA1 more than make up for it.

Obsidian is not BIS. DEATH TO BIS! LONG LIVE OBSIDIAN!

It is the cause of their complaints. If it wasn't, they wouldn't be complaining about it right?

"It's an obvious resources decision, probably related to the short dev timeframe. " Which is what laidlaw said. So... how is he lying?

"Don't tell me Volourn actually believes the lies/excuses Bioware sprouts, right... " Ok, let's say laidlaw is lying. Why *did* BIO reuse maps in DA2? For fun? They thoguht it would make the game better? They were trolling their fanbase? Why? If BIO is lying about this what is the real reason, o knowledgeable one?

No, no game is. But, it is better than the OC. Though, only a troll like you would ask such a question like that when it is irrelevant.

Arcanum had good combat. Don't spread rumours, myths, and innuendo. Lionheart was a huge disspaointment that was plain crap. The city was alright but I quit once I entered some of the worst sewers ever.

No, they don't ignore each other and I'm sure they communicate. It was all about choice. But, I guess people prefer different maps and rather have less content. BIO should have made DA2 a 30 hour game instead of a 50+ hour game. That would have made people happy.

DA2 finished 4th in March sales according to NPD getting beat, of course, by Pokeman.

The reused maps thing is one of my two pet peeves of DA2 but worthy of hate? That's silly talk. The guy was also pretty honest. they had a choice to make - either make more varied maps or have more actual content. If anyone shouldn be blamed for reused maps it's the BIO bosses since they're the ones who decided to make DA2 in 2 years not the 5 years it took to make DA1. Still, funnily enough, despite its rushed development, DA2 is pretty much just as good as DA1. And, it's story and characters are much better than DA1. TO KILL THE ARCHDEMON! GO!

Petitions are for wussies.
