You do realzie a game's success is more than just about your own personal dislike (or dislike) of an engine right? NEWSFLASH: I didn't claim the AurOra was responsible for TW's success so why argue otherwise? L0LZ

Who dun it? Isn't the 'killer' the devil? Not much of a mystery if the movie title gives it away.. L0L P.S. I watched video game based movie Game Over. It plainly sucks. Easily the worse game baeed movie over. Super Mario Bros is Oscar material comapred to thatd reck. I cna't believe some of the semi big celebrities (even Mike Ditka for NFL fans!) that agreed to be part of this crap even if it was just cameos... It was one of the very few movies that ia ctually finished (over multiple viewing mind you) that I'd give a big fat ZERO out of 10.

The fact that you felt the need to compare nature to me is enough proof to show how pathetic nature is and how awesome I am. I mean seriously.. you just were so deserpate to defend your precious nature to me. Nature... that 'entity' that exists for every to something (me) that will live 100 years top if I'm very lucky. L0L Thanks for the compliment, dude, thanks for the compliment. I hope MN doesn't feel slighted by your words. As for Jobs, don't know him, so don't feel anything other than 'it sucks' that nature has found yet another victim to torture.

Average 'chick' does not look like that. Sorry.

"How did they ride their coattails ? I know they used the same engine as NWN, albeit modifying it heavily." BIO pimped them on their site giving them insta access to a large potential customer base. For a time, even, CDP devs even posted on the BIO forums. I know, for sure, I likely wouldn't have paid much attention to the Witcher if it wasn't for the tie in, and I bet that's true for more than a few including those on this site if they just admit. Heck, I was really looking forward to TW pre release even being accused of being a TW 'fanboy'. L0LZ Do a search on old posts on the subject. "It's not like NA is the key market for CDProjekt. Most of those Witcher sales are from Europe." For a non NA company, TW sold pretty well in NA. Not to mention, many of BIO's fans (menaing customers on their sites) are from Europe so anyone who claims the BIO connection didn't help CDP/TW is delusional quaklity of the game aside.

Yes, yes I am. I got baboolzed into paying full price for TW1 thinking it was gonna be an awesome game. Sadly, it was not. And, I blame the pimping CDProject got from BIO. nEVER AGAIN. nEVER FORGET.

Nothing impressive about hose graphics comapred to BIO or Betehsda games. They get no respect from me because CDProject would be nothing in NA if they didn't ride off of BIO's coattails. R00fles!

Cancer is just more proof that 'mother earth', 'mother nature' and all other silyl things are evil to the core whose only job is to make living things suffer as much as possible after using and abusing them.

"I'm outta here." Good riddance. Now, I just wish all the other anti BIO/DA people would exit stage right of all DA threads and go play their precious APs and FO3s. AS for the demo, I don't need it since I already preorder the game. As long as it is better than KOTOR (overrated wannabe ME or Sonic RPG: The Joke Game), I'm sure I'll enjoy it just fine.

They won't unless it is the Canucks. Sorry, but Kanadian teams have proven they'd wire make money of their hardcore fans but don't do anything serious to actually push for a cup and therefore deserve every loss they got. Toronto is the biggest punk in that regard. And, then you got a team like the Oilers whoa re so poorly managed no superstar in his prime would want to waste their time in such a crap team. Poor management for Kanadian teams is a product of Kanadian arrogance who think they own hiockey b/c most Kanadians ar ebigoted as rpoven by Don Cherry being a 'national hero'. LONG LIVE AMERIKA HOCKEY TEAMS, DEATH TO KANADIAN HOCKEY TEAMS (except vancouver)!!!

Thread title is a lie. This is a soccer thread. i'll let you soccer fans keep this thread, though, but remember this is an Amerikan company's board so let's keep things Amerikan thanks. P.S. I did laugh at the celebration pic vid. L0L So that's something!

"Volo, you're so marvelously full of yourself" Read Nightshape's post a page or two back. If I'm 'full of myself' there's a reason why. You build someone up, they are gonna act like it. R00fles! "People tend to respect the moderators here." Only b/c they ahve no choice or they'd get banned. "I imagine you get treat the same no matter the forum." I get treated the same as everyone else. Not worried about foolish internet geeks treat me. "No, it's just the world treats you with contempt." Thje world? I woudlw ager that 'world' doesn't give a crap about me, you, or this baord so i doubt the 'world' has time to feel anything for me contept or otherwise. Are you trying to boost my ego as to suggest the 'world' even knows who the hell i am? "That said Volo, as much of a **** as I am to you, I don't actually dislike you, " What a lair. At least own the truth. Why such a coward? "I've been associated with your e-persona, and other on here for so long, that I think we all know what to expect from each other... Some of it is habit." I don't excpect anything from internet geek strangers that mean nothing. I'm not here for you. I'm here for Obsidian, and general discussion of games. Perhaps, youf ocus too much on internet geeks. Stick with the topics at hand. That's wrong with the internet. So full of people who think theya ctually matter. No, you don't. i don't either. DS3, AP, FO3, DA2, ME3, TW, etc. THOSE matter.

"I have no idea what to expect from DA2, I think that in a lot of ways it's going to be the first "real" post-EA acquisition game from Bio." 1. Expect DA2 because that is exactly what you get. 2. No. "Whose the village idiot then?" Well.. the obvious 'haha' answer will likely be me since it's such an easy cop out since nobody gets offended and I just chuckle at stuff like that. "Obsidian Computer and Console board is like tranquil little village. No much happens but at least everyone are super polite" No, no it isn't. Obsidian forums is no better than the Codex when it comes to 'politeness'. the only difference is the moderating here is more heavy handed. "what is scary is that these boards are "super polite" when compared to the rest of the internet." It isn't. Only arrogant full of themselves Obsidianites actually believe that nonsense. It is no better or worse than other internet forums. Let's not be delusional.

"then perhaps all credit should instead go to Gromnir. the boards we do not frequent is "elss tyoelrant." no?" Perhaps. Test that theory by going to the AP forum and posting a legit complaint of yours abotut he game 9assuming you played it). GL, mon ami. then we'll see how tyoelrant you think these boards are. R00fles! "you keep repeating this statement, but I just can't see your reasoning from where I'm standing their biggest audience are schoolkids and teenage girls" Are you claiming that the Codex and Obsidian forums are full of schoolkids and teenage girls (which is kinda odd tha you seperate those two groups since I would wager *most* teenage girls are schoolkids....)? I have little doubt the majority of BIO gamers are 18+ since the vast majority of gamers are adults, and miost kiddies tend to stick with the Mario/kiddie console known as PeePee.

"obsidian boards community is perhaps small enough to avoid such nonsense..." Simply not true. Have you taken a gander at the AP forums? Or KOTOR2? It shouldm also be pointed out that some of Obsidian games don't even have forums here. Obsidian fanboys are no more or elss tyoelrant of other opinions than other boards. That's a fact jack and don't look back. "Popularity breeds mediocrity, if that makes me an elitist backwoodsman then meh, mea culpa. Bioware is the living embodiment of that. The fanbase they've picked up buys their games in gazillions... what else do they need to worry about?" What's hilarious about this asburd statement is the absolute silliness of it for multiple reasons. One is that one of BIO's best source of customers are the same internet geeks found here and at the Codex who trash them yet buy/play their games anyways. BIO's customer is basically the same as before with extra thrown in. BG2/NWN = justb under 3mil sold or so... ME2/DAO = slightly above 3mil sold. *shrug*

I prefer hysterically delusional thank you very much.

"Do you really think this is Volourn not liking KotOR2" Who claimed I disliked KOTOR2? I surely didn't. It's okay to call me a troll for having a different opinion as that is just cute, but spreading misinformation on my gaming views is silly. Why lie about someone's opinion? "So you got an 1/10 from his mom too? and somehow your comeback is to make a pun out that fact. Marvelous wit of yours, you should consider writing for BW." 'Cause, it 'twas funny. Admit, you got a chuckle out of the comment. It sure beats the 'ol 'yer momma liked it' junk. Have a laugh, and live a little!

o rly? tHAT IZ WUT YER MUMMA SAYS TOO!

"Carth is a true multidimensional character, far more than Kreia. Carth exists in the D&D dimension (Anomen), Jade Empire dimension (Sky), SW dimension (well duh) and the Mass Effect dimension (Kaiden). How many more dimensions do you want? Kreia only exists in the D&D and SW dimensions. Thus Carth > Kreia FACT! or QED, for the cerebral who like a nice discussion of the finer points of Kant, Goethe, Descartes or Mathers in their RPG." This is genuinely funny. That said, you used a wrong example, b/c I'm far from Carth's biggest fan so making fun of him just amuses me. "I don't know why anyone does. He's just a troll." Are you really CRYING because someone has a different opinion than you on the internet? LMAO

Every other companion in KOTOR2 outside the androids have more dimensions than that overrated crone. So shallow your drool on the ground while talking about her is deeper and more meaningful. R00fles!

"Right, because all of the conversation with her which are of deeply philosophical nature, existential and the major religious theme of KOTOR 2 equating the force to a Pantheist sentient being not deep. But Shepard making some crack about where the council can shove it, writing gold." ERROR ALERT! FALLACY ALERT! ERROR ALERT! I did NOT claim that KOTOR2 had horrible writing, That still doesn't change the fact that Kreia's 'musings' are anything but deep. She's a one dimensional shallow character. As for your quip about ME2, it shows you lack the understanding of what good writing is. Good writing isn't about having characters pouts semi philosophy bullcrap but to talk in character, be consistent, and fit the scene. Characters should not be treated as encyclopedias.

"The fact that you think Kreia is out to destroy the PC means you didn't really pay attention to any of the dialogue at the end of the game. She's *much* deeper than that. " No, no she isn't. She's more shallow than the puddle my niece leaves on the floorm tyring to get the bathroom when her parents were toilet training her. R00fles!

So, like Grom, you are only 50% right. K, then.

As far as dictators go, Mubarek is a failure. He should have learned from Iran. Tsk, tsk. Anyways, may Egyptians gain what they want out of this, and may their country be better.

"Not to mention 4 guys grouping around an enemy and just autoattacking isn't exactly exciting gameplay." You dissing IE combat? WOW! "Ugh, this combat just looks bad. He runs around with ranged characters while the others just whack at the enemies or perform some basic AI routines. Pausing the game honestly breaks the flow of combat and the whole thing is just one big cluster****." More IE bashing? When did people here turn on the IE games? OMG tHOUGHTS... 1. I like how they are doing the tatic 'skill' since I agree with Grom on this. Stillm they should just give you 20 slots. That said, I thought people wanted DA to be like BG.. if that is the case.. you shouldn't be using the AI anyways but controlling all characters yourself. 2. Good idea to use dog that way. A dog should not be the equal to a full character. 3. Dissapointed with how armour doesn't effect stamina. Tsk, tsk. Overall, I expect DA2 to be DA2.
