  1. TB deserves to lose. The team has given up, and don't want to win so they shouldn't.
  2. DA is not real nor is it Medival Earth. It doens't have to follow our silly perceptions of the weapon size. More importantly, it's such a minor thing either way. Why do people care so much? If I'm gonna whine about DA I'm going to point how lame mana - espicially regenerating mana - is. At least that has to do with actual gameplay.
  3. NWN. BIO's most successful game. Great reviews. Popular with the majority of fans despite some vocal dissant (usually a sign of how popular a game is), Still being discussed. Has influenced multiple games, and companies and has led to such popular games like TW (even though I'm not personally a fan), sequels, expansions, digital downloads, is still heavily discussed, etc. Heck, Atari is thinking of making NWN3 into a full fledge MMORPG just based on how marketable the name is. That's one of the defintions of a classic - that people know what it is whether they have even played it or not or they hate. LONG LIVE NWN!
  4. "Does the tactical party thing work? No Does the cover and shoot thing work? Partly, fairly average Does that mean the game is a failure from a gameplay design standpoint? Probably Does that make the game less fun? Entirely subjective. yes for me, no for you." Yes. Yes. No. Yes.
  5. "Just checked out the 'City Elf' origins video. It's not very good, is it?" Hey, there are 6 origins. One cna't like them all. We all have preferences. I'm liking both the dwarven origins albeit I'm obvious extremely bias towards to begin with. L0L Depending how the mage test scenario is set up, that could be interesting too.
  6. It shouldn't matter either way...
  7. Didn't Marleau just get stripped of the Captaincy? Obviously, the Sharks aren't that impressed with him if they are gonna trash him like that.
  8. Do a search. It's elaborated enough, and I don't fel like posing point after point just to have you bash me, anyways. Better to make it short, and sweet and have you bash me for that. Bottom line is ME is a superior game to KOTOR. It's that simple.
  9. No more than the 'stereotypical' M/F romances most likely. *shrug* A nice percentage of the BIO fanbase likes romances so they are doing the right thing - giving their fanbase what they want. For me personally, romances mean nothing outside they give me more role-playing oppurtunties.
  10. Why? You don't like differing opinions? I say tough.
  11. Depending on what the Sharks would have to give up for Heatley, they could be even more of a threat than they are already. I could see him, and Thornton having 100+ points easily with Thornton with 80 assists, and Heatley with 50-60 goals.
  12. "Have you tried Spiderweb's games? They are old school RPG's. " Yeah, reallyc rappy ones. I love 'old skool RPGs'; but SW ones are horrible examples of them.
  13. "KotOR was a much better game than Mass Effect. " No, no it isn't. In fact, ME is 10x better than KOTOR. I do agree they have lots of common but the cool thing about ME is it does everything better than KOTOR. KOTOR is BIO worst game (still good) is really overrated.
  14. BGDA was a fun game. Anyone trying to compare it the PC games or RPGs is kinda missing the point. It's an action game,m and as an action game it's pretty awesome. "Which is all fine and dandy, except for the fact that there are millions upon millions of oppressed people, for reasons much much worse than sexual preference." Hey, your country isn't amongst BIO's target audience. Just deal with it. If your country is oppressed, the people there probably cna't afford video games and probably have more important things to worry about than some silly video game.
  15. "Actually I agree with Volo's main argument, and alanschu seems to as well. But sometimes he argues with us even when we agree with him" Except.. your comment here don't make sense... I'm not arguing with Alanshu.... and, like you said why would I? He basically agrees with me... " I have no idea why he spends so much time here, since he seems to dislike everybody here." You have no idea despite the fact I've told you my reasons more than half a dozen times? L0LZ "Fallout's low int still takes the cake" Espicially FO2.
  16. "Yourr definition of better RPG is understood only by you alone, and I dont see how repeating it will enlighten us as to what the hell you're talking about." Why are dissing Alanshu like this? He seems to understand it just fine. Or is he nothing to you?
  17. That's because people tend to think that because BG2 is the more 'fun'/'better' game than NWN that it atitomatically makes it more of a RPG. It doesn't. Like I said, I like BG2 more than NWN OC. Easily. BG2 is tied for my #1 favorite RPG along with FO2; but better at being a RPG? No, not even close. Alanshu covers why quite a bit in his post.
  18. "you totally missed my point" You totally missed my point. I got what you wer egetting at. I just twisted it so it is more logic and is based in reality. BIO's formula is simple: make quality games that people WANT to play. "I'm saying that bioware keeps ripping off their own games and doesnt do anything original. they havent moved things forwards in ten years. the last thing i want is a return to BG. we've already played that game" I disagree. All their games bring different things to the table. Sure, they have similarities but that shouldn't be surprising as they should stick with their strengths. Companies that don't either crash, and burn or 1 in 1 million get lucky and hit jackpot. ME, JE, KOTOR,a nd DA are all different games that bring different things to the table while still being true to BIO. When I buy a BIO game, I expect a BIO game. Not something else. When I buy an Obsidian game I expect an Obsidian game. Not something else. If I wanted 'something else', I'd have bought something else.
  19. What you mean to say is you disliked being disagreed with so you came here where more people think BIO sucks too? Cool. P.S. DA:O will be awesome but it's not eprfect. But, it's guaranteed to be a better RPG than BG. Not that that's hard.
  20. "my lunacy thing wasnt an insult." Dunno about you but being called a lunatic isn't a compliment where I come from. "if you can actually explain it in clear terms then you clearly wouldnt be crazy..." Do a search on the Obsidian, BIO, Codex, Atari, and several other sites to find out why I think what i think about NWN. I don't feel like going into deep detail over a 6 year old game with people I know who won't agree anyways and will just use it as another lame reason for throwing insults. They can do that with DA or ME2 since they're actually new.
  21. "bioware is banking on the same formula over and over again" Agreed. And, that formula is release quality games that people want to play. What losers them guys are! "remember when baldur's gate first arrived? it made a splash because it got people excited about rpg's again." And, the funny thing is that almost ALL the newer BIO/OBS/Troika games have better role-playing than BG did. *shrug* The genre should be pushed forward not remain stagnant. BG was a fun game for its time but if it came out now it would not be as popular or considered as good as it was. It's a product of its time when standards of actual role-playing in role-playing games was rather low. Lack of real differences in dialogue choice, lack of multiple endings, very few C&C, lack of combat options, etc., etc.
  22. No, I won't. I don't respond in a civil manner to pitiful insults meant to troll with someone who doens't want to discuss but to simply exchange insults. Choose one or the other. It's funny I'm the lunatic when even Alanshu is siding with me on this issue. L0L "explain in clear terms so we can understand your apparent lunacy" Seriously? Seriously. Why would I give you a clear example when all youa re doing is trolling to get a response so you can throw more lame insults my way instead of actual debate? L0L Pathetic troll attempt. Stick on topic: NWN is better at *role-playing* than BG is. Period.
  23. "Even Aerie pissed me of with he whining sometimes, but that was nothing compared to Bastila, Carth, Kaidan, Ashley etc etc" L0L Aerie is the worst example of this type of character. Not that it actally bothers me.. As long as the background/whining isn't boring ala that girl from Annah who has sex with her daddy and wnats sex with TNO. Now, that was hilariously boring and funny! But, Aerie, is most definitely the protype of the whiny character with the horrible childhood/past.
  24. Exactly. Of course, BG2 is overall better than NWN OC but I've never argued otherwise.
  25. "For someone relatively respected in the RPG community such as it is, you say awfully stupid things." 1. Respected by who? Nobody. 2. I'm not here to be 'respected'. I'm here to exchange opinions and discuss games. I don't care if people like me. It's completely irrelevant as I'm quite happy with my RL friends (or do I have any? lolz, only i know!). People on the interent simply cna't handle differing opinions. Afterall, anyone who disagrees with you has got to be stupid. Right? P.S. I'm unimportant. Let's discuss the actual topic(s).
