Poll suggests 1 in 5 Americans cannot make simple factual assessments
Volourn replied to Walsingham's topic in Way Off-Topic
Are all muslims terorrists? No Do all muslims support terrorism? No Is there too much double talk and politicing by Muslims when it comes to muslim based terrorists? Absolutely Way too often, otherwise reasonable good people who happen to Muslims give a backhanded slam on terrorists who use religion to commit (or attempt to) commit mass murder. There's way too much 'what they did was wrong, BUT...". There is no but. I don't care if x country (usually the US takes the blame) did something horrible in y Muslim country, that doesn't make it a-ok to go bomb innocents. Period. It's like that christian bomber. He was absolutely slammed by every reasonable person - christian or not - and, those Christians who supported them were, in turn, slammed for their support. While all muslims are not terrorists, and in fact, the majority of muslim sare good people who just want to live their lives in peace, there is a cultural/religious fcoused problem that leads a certain sect of muslims to the conclusion that the only answer is to target innocents - including OTHER muslims (see the multitude muslim on muslim attacks in both Iraq and Afghanistan). I'm sure someone will accuse me of bigotry, but they would be full of crap. Here's an example of what I mean about double standards. It's a know fact that catholic priests tend to have a public issue problem of them molesting children, and they are poked fun of, slammed, and otherwise rediculed for their immoral behaviour not to mention everyone brands the Catholic church as a bunch of molestors because of a relatively low percentage. Is that bigotry or is just a sad stereotype that's come to be because the catholic church has a major issue that THEY need to fix. Just as muslims have a major issue/schism in their religion that THEY need to fix. So, instead of whining about bigotry.. just call a spade a spade. Muslims have a major issue on their hands. Deal with it instead of blaming others. It be liking catholic prists blaming others for their disgusting behaviour. End of rant. -
Brian and Annie (Doublebear) making a zombie RPG: Dead State
Volourn replied to Humodour's topic in Computer and Console
Game looks like it has potential though the graphics are subpar at best but graphics should be irrelevant considering the budget they're on. Also, way too bright as everything seems to be in pristine conditions. Turn based copmabt,m and the characetr system is good thing. Still, unless the game is put on a disc no sell. If it's on a disc, 90% chance I'd check it out. -
"I chuckled at the caption at the bottom "Now just press 'A'"." When I played BG, I just had to right click to beat the game. Easy as pie. P.S. The fake cover is chuckle worthy, though.

All the time. he claims Chavez is good for the country which he is clearly not. As ppiinted out, the country's problems have WORSENED since got into power. "FACT: The number of people killed in Iraq in 2009 as compared to other years is quite low." What's your point? They're comapring 2009 because that's the eyar that just ended. The fact that iraq a coutnry that is still going through post war problems had a lesser death rate than a supposedly 'stable' country shows that coutnry has major problems. And, that usually starts at the top. Bottom line is Chavez does a huge diserrvice to hsi country as its rule and slamming the US does nothing to improve it. He waste too much time bashing the US and not fixing his own country which is what he should be focused on. The fact that Columbia's detahr ate is evenw orse doesn't somehow magically make Venezuela an awesome palce to live, does it? That's silly talk. It's smoke and mirrors: hey, look guys, the guys over there have it worse so we're awesome lolololol!

Chavez fanboy? Chavez fanboy.

"the origins had little genuine impact post the origins," Keep spinning your lies, it doesn't changes. Origins can have a huge effect post origin including on potential end of game scenarios, eqiupment, dialogue chocies, quest outcomes, etc., etc. Just because BIO may or not feel that origins are no longer worth the effort because of money issues does not chnage the fact that they very much do have an impact post origins. R00fles!
-
How the heck is Chavez still in power? Oh, I know how. He opposes the US, and blames them for his country's problems, and the voters eat it up. Man. Venezuela really needs to shape up if they have a much higher murder rate than a country (Iraq) that is still undergoing growing pains due toa full scale war and all the chnages that come from that. WOW.

"Ah yes, the Bio vs. Obsidian setup. The most fruitless discussion in the known world, as basically a game by either studio will still be better than a game by somebody else." True with the exceptions of Sonic RPG and AP, though. "I wasn't trying to put Bioware down I was just saying that I realise they aren't perfect." Yeah, but nobody really believes BIO is perfect, right? Not even BIO themselves.
-
"I don't think truth be told there are that many exceptional example of innovation there." The origins are a good example of pushing something forward and inmnovation (even though there is stuff that has similarities). Afterall, contrary to what some would wnat us to beleive, your oriogin effects the game in major ways including effecting potential endings. Bottom line is all the haters could cry all they want but BIO > them all. And, BIO's version of innovation sure beats Obsidian's which is basically to make sequels to other company's games and the one non sequel was a ME rip off 9and their worst game by far). LONG LIVE MOTB!

"ME does have lots of roleplaying. but that doesnt make it a better game than baldurs gate." I didn't claim it was a better game in any of these posts. I claimed it was a better RPG than BG. HUGE difference. Whether BG or ME is a better game is a whole different issue. There can be no argument when it comes to role-playing though. @ Hawke: That version of Hawke is posisble some sort of mage. On top of that,m it's silly to whine about the PC being stronger than NPCs in any game since that's true no matter what game it is. No normal NPC has a shot to beat The Master in FO1; but the PC can. *shrug* @ BG2 End Battle: It was awesome. @ TOB End Battle: It was okay, nothing special, but Melissan is probably BIO's 2nd worst main villain. *puke*

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!, just a dumping ground
Volourn replied to CoM_Solaufein's topic in Computer and Console
I love those vids. They're hilairous even when used in lame attempts to mock me. Viconia is an okay gal; but she reminds me too much of your typical bad drow gone good story. -
Agreed. It's an Action RPG. An action rpg that has more role-playing than many full rpgs including BG.
-
Laugh all you want, but BG is simply a subpar rpg espicially comapred to ME. And, using the awesome Tom Curise vid doesn't change that fact. As for the Morrigan DLC. It's gonna be two hours max so its auto dissapoint.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!, just a dumping ground
Volourn replied to CoM_Solaufein's topic in Computer and Console
The trolls are out in force, I see. Pathetic. "Viconia > Jaheira > Morrigan" Morrigan > Viconia + Jaheria -
I'll take ME over BG any day. It definitely is a better RPG.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!, just a dumping ground

I hope they don't make Morrigan into some evil that needs to be slaughtered like some random monster. -
"which usually involves wanting the person to suffer, because most of us are not psychopathic." So.. wanting people to suffer is a sign of NOT being psychopathic? WOW... " I suppose you wish Hitler hadn't been driven to suicide and that Osama remains free and happy? " Actually, I want them to be rightly punished for their crimes. On toip of that, Hitler and Bin landen are repsonsible for the mass murders of thousands of people while this woman is responsible for puttinga cat in the garbage and said cat lived. She deserves to be punished for her immoral action.. but that punishment should NOT include murdering her. But, yeah, keep comparing people like Hitler, Bin Landen, and rapists to this woman. That really makes your argument sound more reasonable. We should also cut off the hands of those litter too. Scumbags that they are. Or better yet, just murder 'em because they are murdering our planets, and only a pyschopath would wnat to cause other humans pain. Do you enjoy the suffering of others? What makes you better than her?

"I just hope you're willing to accept that a Christian theocracy wouldn't be any better" And? -
NWN has been used in schools already. Not surprising other games have and will continue to be used. This is 2010, not 1910. I have little doubt when movies were first started to be used in classrooms it was a 'culture shock' by old geezers as well.

"I hope she gets hit by a bus." So.. you admit to not being a good person. K.
-
"Arguably this woman completely deserves baseless death threats." No. Them women's actions are kinda odd. Who pets a cat then throws it in the trash? They should find those uttering death threats and charge them.

"Kotor pwns NWN. Not saying NWN is bad because it isn't, but Kotor makes NWN look like the garbage can needs it. " No. "nwn oc was the best rpg ever. all the character depth of torment, the charm of fallout, and the best darn combat ever seen in a 2 man party game. truly a titan amongst crpgs." Sarcasm doesn't change the fact that NWN > KOTOR. "a 2 man party D&D game." And? 2 man parties in D&D are as old as the game is? In fact, 2 man party campaigns have been some of the most fun i've had playing D&D. *shrug*
-
Yeah, but BIO really starting using it for mainq uests with NWN's OC and followed it directly with KOTOR. Of coruse, obsidian had the common sense to use it in ME2 as well. At least ME2, and DA are a little sneakier about it, and it doesn't do it in ME1. Neither SOU and HOTU have it that bad though. KOTOR is a rip off of NWN OC. NWN > KOTOR
