Handheld games are fine. Cell phones games are a NO! I want to actually see a screen. It's too bad BIO isn't making a game for the PSP as that would give me two reasons to buy a handheld machine - a BIO game + D&D Tatics. But, DS? Meh.

You can have unstoppable logic, and have an opinion you later deem to be 'wrong'. And, don't argue. My logic is unstoppable, afterall. :D

Which games had good or bad or ok graphics is a matter of your opinion. I found both NWN, and the PS2 console had graphics that matched up with any other game from their timeline. I don't care for either WOW or the Sims so i cna't comment. I'd take NWN's 'blocky' graphics over MW's poo poo graphics. I'd take PS2's graphics being the equal of the xbox any day of the week.

Eh. Tie Domi did have skill, and contributed much more than just fighting. He also played more than once, or twice a game. But, overall, I agree, fighting is dumb. It should be completely banned in hockey.

"They'll probably do it the Piranha Bytes' way: release a demo after the game has been released." Meh. They'd be doing it the same way it was done with NWN. "In Piranha Bytes case I can understand it (small team, not enough time), but for Obsidian..? It just feels so illogical to release the demo after the game. Isn't a demo supposed to make you interested in a not-yet-released game? Also, a demo is a good indication if your computer can handle the game in question." Nah. A demo is simply a way to see if you like a game before playing it. It shouldn't matter if the demo is released before or after the game is released. In fact, it's more intelligent if a company releases a demo after the actual game is released business wise.

"From what I understand however, BIS had quite a bit of say on the products whilst Bio was developing them that went into the BG series. I think they both worked together and worked together well on all the projects enough for me to have the opinion (there's that word again) that they worked more closely and in better unison than Atari and any company does." BIS was the publisher. They had as much say as all publishers do. btw, I'm not discrediting BIS for their role on the Bg series. They did a very good job as publisher, and should be reccommended for that. But, they didn't make BG series. "that they worked more closely and in better unison than Atari and any company does." Yet... BIO's combination with Atari in releasing NWN led to BIO's most successful game - NWN. "He's a good lad at times, sometimes his logic fails him." Lad? I'm no lad. And, my logic is unstoppable. P.S. Graphics are important. Anyone who thinks it isn't is fooling themselves. i used to think graphics meant nothing. I was wrong as well. Graphics aren't neccessarily the most important aspect of a agme ( think it isn't); but it does play an important role espicially in first impressions and we know what is said about first impressions.

"all the BI games personally BG2 is my favorite (though I know some think BG is better)" From you post, I'm sure you mean BIS in which case, you are wrong. BIS no more made BG series than Atari made TOEE, or NWN. BIO made BG series. BIS, on behalf of their parent company, only published it. That's not dissing BIS, btw, as they did a very good job publishing it. Just a pet peeve of mine when people try to give BSI credit for BIO's work. It's just as bad when people try to give BIo credit for PST, or IWD which werne';t made by BIO and are just using an engine made by BIO. Graphics Topic: Alanshu wins at 95.678% correct. Good job, Alanshu! :cool:

Damn. That's worthless then. They need to have them both on the same system. Gah.

BIO wants it all, I guess! WOWSERS! I don't do handhelds really; but between this in D&D Tatics; I dunno, might have to change my mind. That said, which handheld is D&D Tatics for? A different one, I think? If so, damn...

"Or NWN? I remember tracking it regularly for about 3 years, half of which was after the first projected release date." I don't believe NWN had an actual specifc release date. NWN2 has had two. not to mention the fact that NWN1 had to deal with the whole Interplay vs. Bioware War tm. NWN2, despite Atari's apparant financial state, has none. This is neither good or bad news outside of not getting the game sooner. There's examples of delays helping and not helping a game. So, meh. I'd be lying though that despite the fact I'm looking forward to NWN2 that I have some serious doubts about how Obsidian has managed NWN2's development. And, at this time, I will be surprised if Obsidian bothers doing anything with the DMC until the game is released. Even then, I won't hold my breath for one, anymore. This delay could be as simple as moving NWN2's release date away from G3's so the two games don't clash over each other.

"TOEE" TOEE's release was delayed twice. I wouldn't call that an 'early' release, and definitely not pushed to one. I think TOEE is an example of a developer taking on more than they can handle.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

WOW!

EA is awesome. Plain, and simple. those companies you listed who died out died out because of their own patheticness. Not, because of EA oustide of EA being awesome that is.

No. Origin Systems killed Origin Systems.

Ok. My earlier thread was wrong. I admit it. Games are getting more expensive. This is UNDISPUTABLE proof.

"I hate those publishers who didnt want to fund their 4 game which was going to be a Post Apocalyptic RPG, the spiritual succersor to fallout." I hate developers who can't convince any publisher to publish their game. You have to be rather poor negotiators to not be able to convince someone to give you another shot. Then again, 3 different publishers, basically the same result. Now wonder publishers were done giving the 'makers of FO' a break. "We'll you're right about one thing. We did make them fail. We are all to blame" Nope. There's only one group of people responsible for Troika's success or fialure, and that's Troika. "They didn't fail as game developers." Sure, they did. 3 different games, 3 different publishers, 3 different styles of RPG, 3 different 'failures'. They could not make a quality game that was also successful enough to warrant them developing more games. That's failure no matter how you cut it.

"Tried the PC version????? If not you are missing out. The best baseball game ever made even better. Goood Stuff." No. How are the controls? I'm not a big fan of sports games on PC for some reason. If the controls are reasonably good, I might check it out for PC as well. Also, what makes it improved comapred to the console (PS2) version? It must be really good to be better. As for FO series. A greats eries no doubt; but not perfect. No game is. I can see why an intelligent gamer might not like it. Joinable npcs are lacking comapred to the BG-PST-KOTOR-JE-NWN counterparts that ar eoften in that circle of games, the stories (well.. one story shared by the two games actually) is adequately good at best, and while I personally LOVE the combat; I coudls ee why the system isn't for everyone. Good stuff. :cool:

No. Best sports game is MVP baseball 2005!!!!!!

I enjoyed, and liked both Arcanum, and BL myself despite their fualts. I didn't care for TOEE though it had some good qulaities as well. However, I am NOT sadden by their collapse. They brought it upon themselves.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Don't read the Codex like its gospel.

It's your reward for liking PST so much. Each post that sattes in some way that 'PST is the best game ever' nets you an extra 50 freebie posts. Just like every one of my 'NWN is best ever' posts costs me 50 posts. Otherwise, I'd still be dominating the post counts. LOLOLOLOL Damn you Obsidian!@ P.S. In all seriousness, post counts mean squat. Don't worry about it. :D

Better yet, release the game first and see if it was a financial success. LOL Of course, G3 will be a financial success no doubt. It's been hyped as much as the other two big CRPGs this year (NWN2 and Oblivion) plus its a sequel to two pretty successful games.
