"Which is the way it should be - Balors are supposed to be bad-assed mofos." Except the TOEE balor was easy.

Hilarious to see that a thread about a war between Russia and Georgie has its share of US bashing. LOL

"Their sports games are just that. Games. Not simulations. Games." Wrong. They may not be 'perfect' sims; but they are simulations. And, EA is awesome. And, they don't destroy companies. Those companies imploded by the greed and failure of their previous owners/creators. Sorry; but it's true. If BIo 'dies'; EA didn't destroy them. BIO did that when they 'sold out' (even if they had 'good reasons' to). Besides, BIO as a company doesn't really exist. At least not as a seperate entity, anyways. They're 'just' an overly large and somewhat 'independent' (for now) division of EA.

"What company? Have you read anything about this game? It was one guy, as I just told you." If he's trying to sell it; he's trying to make money. I believe you try to sell soemthing you shouldn't get freebies. And, yeah, you can do what you want. Not like I'm going to stop you. L0L You stated your piece, I'm stating mine. "I enjoy games in general." OMG! That's my point. That's why I buy games, too! WOWSERS! If you like the game Jericho, or think you will, good for you. I'm not opposed to that; but it be pretty sad if you bought it 'knowing' it would suck just because you want to be 'supportive'. Now, if you bought it becuase you thoguht you'd get enjoyment out of it and support good on you. But, don't you think one is better off 'supporting' game developers (be it a company or just one peon) if they make the games you'd like? *shrug*

TOEE, The Witcher, Gothic series, IWD2, Two Worlds (getting there), and many other unimportant ones...

"When you buy a game you are supporting the creators." Nah. Disagree. When you buy a game you do (and should) do it for your own selfish reasons. 'cause you think you'll enjoy the game. It's not my job to support money making enterprises like game devlopment. They do that themselves by making games customers want to play. "They were probably not too far away from qualifying for welfare when they created it" Comnpanies whose business is to make money and arne't making money shouldn't get welfare. I think government handouts to these companies are garbage. their jobs is to make a profit. if they can't do that, they should be out of business.

"Well, I figure $15 isn't exactly a huge amount to support an independant, creative endeavor like this. Even if it grows old fast, it's the kind of project I'm comfortable supporting from a financial end." You shouldn't be 'supporting' them. They're not on welfare. If you think you'll like the game buy it; if not don't. Just sayin'.

"Party members on the other hand (ala BG, KotOR) can have scripts (!!)" L0L but, no. BG series joinables are HENCHMEN. NWN OC joinables are EXPERT HIRINGS. NWN SOU/HOTU joinables are a mix of HENCHMEN and PARTY MEMBERS. Don't let BIO, and OBSIDIAN trick you with their delusional changing of actual D&D terminology.

Outside of that one game against Philly, the Giants weren't exactly getting a biion sacks per game. As you mentioned, good passrush doesn't neccessarily mean sack the QB all the time. The big reason why Favre threw that foolish intereption is he was trying to avoid the pass rush and hurried his throw.

Define 'handle'. The Giants' pass rush was effective that game. *shrug* As for the rankings... by the end of the season GB's OL stats won't be that impressive... Definitely not top 5.

"OL is a great pass-blocking unit (the only one that consistently handled the Giants' pass rush in the playoffs last year)." L0L But, no. They got skewled like everyone else.

Probably just interceptions wise since that's Favre's weakness.

As long as people keep repeating that Obsidian should stick with 'what they know' a billion times or MMOs suck, I'll return the favor.

QB is too important unless your D is as good as Chicago's was a few years ago (and, even then, their QBs had some great games). Roger has been overrated. People actually think he's better than Favre!!! LMAO

"If Obsidian went doing MMO who would do quality RPG with depth? There is not allot of them out there except for Bioware." Companies get created. BIO was a medical software company yet look at them now. *shrug* Obsidian was only created because of the failure of the Interplay division of BIS. *shrug*

I figure both teams will finish between 5-10 and 8-8, and miss the playoffs.

"Well, if some of you want to believe that these guys did nothing more than watch from a distance when those past games were in development, that's up to you." 'They' did what all publishers do. Take that as you will.

One dimensional AI that fcosues on one thing and that's it. ie. Enemies that will go directly towards one character (ie. mages) despite the fact it means giving up AOOs to like 3 other characters. the lack of magic using characters - espicially intelligent ones.. Only spellcaster battle worth anything is the one versus the bandits when you go through the backway of the temple. Otehrwise, bleh. Encounter design overall is just bland lacking creativity.

Your point being what? In a thread entitled 'your top 10 favorite games of all time'; of course it's gonna be subjective. Duh.

"And PS:T's is better than FO's I found out." WUT?

I loathed the original DD. First village was okay; but then it turned into a massive unfun and boring hack and slash. yeah, yeah.. its fans will yell out til their redfaced that it gets 'better'; but meh. I love dragons though so who knows... I did, at least, see potential in the game...

"PS:T and Fallout are fun games, but the fact that the combat is quite poor in both these games certainly diminished some enjoyment, they're both classics I can't knock them in that respect, I've just had alot more fun playing ToEE because of the combat, and the fact I have a genuine like for the engine." FO's combat is better than TOEE's. TOEE's combat system might be better; but the actual combat isn't.

1. NWN - The total package. Best game ever. 2. MVP 05 - I so wish EA could be making MLB games. I'd totally give up Madden for an EA baseball game. Sweet. 3. NHL 08 - Best hockey game ever. If NHL 09 wasn't coming up, and looking it would be better, it might have even taken over MVP's spot. 4. BG2 - Best epically long game ever. 60-100 hours of pure fun. But, it's dead. 5. FO2 - Best role-playing ever in a game. 6. FF8 - Top FF, and severely undderrated. The graphics are still top notch, and the musical sound track was second to none. Sorry; but it's true. 7. ME - ME > KOTOR.... 'Nough said. 8. Megamania - Nostalgia is a beautiful thing with this ancient 'shooter'. 9. FO1 - Came before FO2... Just a little small. 10. BG1 - The game got me back into computers. Coolio beanios.

It's the internet. It's also Obsidian. Nature of the beast.

"considering how we *still* have people comign in here to ask why Bioware is being so evil, etc, etc." Good PR - people are still talking about it which means it is being kept in the 'news'. And, NWN2 has/is doing well so it's obviously hasn't hurt the game. Or BIO. Or EA. or Obsidian.
