Volourn

That seems fair. I'm basically the same. I hardly ever post on the DA (and ME) forums, myself. I just skim for Gaider posts mostly.

"As far as I know Bioware and Microsoft hasn't gave out any specific numbers of units sold along with the production costs of Jade Empire. Where is the link that Bioware representatives said exactly what were the production costs Volourn?" Eh? I never said they did? I ain't the one who is quoting specific numbers outside of the 500k+. All i said was BIo and MS both said the game was financially successful, and I'll take their word over random posters (this includes me!) in this thread who don't have access to the hard numbers. BIO + MS > POSTERS

"Bioware likes to spout off any minor award" E3 isn't a minor even so I doubt its awards ar eminor. It's a good way to get people interested in the game.

"you know Volourn, those $14 millions aren't for Bioware." True. But, BIO also isn't the onyl one spending money on the game. MS, the stores, and co are as well. Let's say, for instance, that JE cost did cost more than $14 mil. People seem to forget that the numbers provided in this thread were for Amerikan NPD alone. It didn't include the outside world numbers. So, even if the game did cost, say, $20 million, those are other sales figures to consider. Afterall, the chart provided states the game sold 300k or so in NA (or is just Amerika). The game is known to have sold 500k+ in the first 6 months of release overall. The game has made more than $14 mil. On top of this I'm inclined to beleive BIO and MS saying it's successful than us in this thread who don't have the hard numbers. I, myself, don't have the har dnumbers. Neither does anyone else here. This is why I take their word over ours.

Me? Why me? Though that name sounds familiar? Is that from the mod? LOL So many names. " P.S. If I'm correct, and you cna't seem to find him (mod isn't big so it cna't be hard) it's likely he's not in that version.

Best feedback ever! You just improved my mod by 10%!!! (it used be rated 25%)

I sure did.. or would... 'cause I am a perv. And, my Perv status has been confirmed.

"Perhaps I should send that tester feedback? Urgh..." OT Alert: You could but it's out of date most likely

No. Avernum is an overrated independent game that the Codex slobber over simply because it has (boring) turn based combat.

It's alright. If you are regular on lnline it doesn't give anything important as it's just info from any announcements including BIO Wednsdays in one package. It's also a simple (longwinded) email so it shouldn'tt ake all that much space. I barely read them. Just skim, and erase. Heh. "How likely is it that I will get actual news about Dragon Age in the near future rather than, say, repeated encouragement to purchase NWN premium modules?" Low. Best way to get info on DA currently is the baords as Mr. Gaider posts there a lot.

You do? I don't. 'Cause it probably means they're buggy and incomplete.. It's bad enough with buggy and incomplete released games let alones ones where the company actually admits it's not finished... espicially one without a publisher. LOL :D

X-BOX, and XBOX 360.

Cureently playing (actually modding) NWN, and having fun with MVP Baseball 2005 which is now only the second game to last me over a year since I originally bought it. I was playing Hammer & Sickle; but I dunno it has sadly been a dissapointment. So much potential... Meh...

Yes.

Darque wins.

"Of course they have...hell if you read the blurb on the web page they've already declared that Dragon Age will be a "blockbuster"." Eh. Uhuh. The awrads BIO has won for DA are 'Best of E3' types, or 'Most Anticipated Game' type stuff. That's not exactly a major sin or completely BIO's fault except as further proof that BIo continually makes games poeople want to buy, play, and talk about even if it's not out yet. LOL

Not quite. I said I doubt it did. The word doubt should cue into the fact that I am admitting I don't know for sure (duh!). P.S. Everytime someone uses one of my lame 'catchphrases' (espicially the ones thata rne't mine like R00fles!) I laugh at how much power I have over your brains!!

"Volo, stop posting and finish your NwN mod!" Hey, I was forced to take a break... I've been working on it for two weeks now! Just have been trying to be more quiet about it... as ... I *really* want to release it so I cna stop being a member of the typical Internet Loser Mod Squad Gooser tm...

Which universe is that? The Universe of 'We Hate BIO because they're not Obsidian?' universe. Again, I'll take BIO and MS' (espicially MS since they're *all* about the profit) word over a bunch of namby pamby conjecture. No offense intended. P.S. I read the entire thread as I am oft to do when I make a thread. "

IGN is ok; but they certainly go overboard much like most 'professional' or 'nonprofessional' reviewers'. For example: I like JE. I like JE a lot. But, 99%? I think NOT. No game is worthy of 99% accoridng to me. None. Zilch. Zero. Nah. Not true. Megamania was. "Juhani was a cut lesbian romance in K1. The horror if Bioware would release such a romance." Yeah. The horror... when they actually have released lesbian romances. And, gay (man + man) romance. Even 1 man +2 woman romance. The horror. Alright.

Interesting chart. $14 mil made? For some reason I doubt it took $14 mil to make. On top of this, it had been annnounced that JE had sold 500k+ units (I presume as opposed to the numbers in the thread this is for world wide numbers which would explain the decrepancy) and that was about 6 months into release. BIO, and MS have stated quite clearly that they are satisifed with its sales, and general financial success. MS has already announced JE2 though BIO is sitll playing coy. I'll take their word over those calling those companies liars without hardcore proof. That chart, at least, if accurate, at least is semi hard numbers so I commend Mr. Draikin.

"Super Tecmo Bowl" This was a really fun game. Basically Madden before the Madden. It pretty much had everything I thoguht I wanted in a football game.

Funny enough, I haven't even played NHL 06. Though, thanks to the Rangers playing so well, I'm slowly inching back into hockey mode so who knows. <>

Even thoguh, to me, (pro) wrestling isn't a sport as far as video games go; i count them as sports games. So yeah, they count. Heck, as far as video games go, I count golf and nascar racing as sports. :D

Mine has gotta be MVP Baseball 2005. I'm on my 5th season in this game. Most sports games last me 2-3 seasons at most; but this one seems to be unending. It has its share of faults (being given errors on obvious hits as one exmaple); but overall it's awesome. This game has everything. Great options to make the experience as 'realistic' as possible including controlling power numbers, contact, stirkeout ratio, errors in the field, speed, and so on. Lots of statistics are covered, and kept tracked off. Game play is suually reaosnable. I love this game, and wanna marry it. It's quickly becoming my 2nd favorite game behind.......... a certain evil game. So, what is your favorite sports game? Or whine if you are a hateful anti sports person.
