"Although you could probably contend that it's not that difficult to maintain the dominance with the acquistion of exclusive licenses. Somebody could make a better version, and we'll never know" Come on. EA's exlusivity over some sports leagues just vstarted this year. The fact that EA has been dominnate in the sports gaming world for basically a decade says it all. It's also not like the EA is the only company with exlusivity. I, for one, will stick with EA's MBP Baseball 2005 because I'm still playing it and see no reason to try the other company's exlusive trash.

Huh? I never seriously said all of EA's games were perfect. i've, in the past, have mentioned that there are even some EA sports games I dislike including NHL AND nba 2005. Nice try, again.

"Yes, that's an EA game." Your confusing liking a company,a nd liking evry game they make. There are tons of EA games I dislike. You named one. In fact, 99% of EA games I do like are sports games. You lose yet again. "There're plenty of them. You're just too nescient and selfish to recognize them. But that's Okay, otherwise the Volo-Logic (i.e. everything I don't play automatically sucks) wouldn't be Volo's Volo-Logic." No. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Hey, that's not tally fair! When meta mistakenly mentioned the Ultima games as Europeans I was already to congratulate him! Sadly, Ender (I think) pointed out that meta was wrong. It's not my fualt no one else has mentioned a good or great European game. "

Stop naming crappy games, please.

No.

But, but, but, you get a statue built in your honour! Makes it all worthwhile!

"I have played the game many times. The only option in each time was to kill Li." Like Ghost stated, you are wrong. I am surprised that even if you didn't get this ending yourself that you at least didn't hear about the not so secret third ending. It's a pretty cool ending; but bittersweet. Let's just say it isn't 'happily ever after' type of ending - at least not for the PC. LOL (w00t) HINT: Accept Li's final offer.

Huh? You don't have to kill Li. Why are you lying? Did you even play the game? And, no, while most decisions give you open palm or closed fist ways there was usually more than one weay to achieve that in each quest.

"One good way and one evil way isn't all that great or that far greater than BG." JE quests often have 3+ ways to solve quests. There are also more (percentage wise) quests that have a non combat way to solve them compared to BG series. Why make things up, Willis?

Yeah; but the fact that 99% of JE's quests have multiple ways to complete them does...

JE had better role-playing than BG series. While I liked BG's graphics; it's not even in the same league as JE's. I personally preferred Bg's combat system because, well, I'm bias towards D&D and tunr or semi turn base style (evn though I did enjoy JE's RT combat). Game over.

Your loss. EB is awesome. :cool:

Then name one.

"They appear to have thrown away the gratuitous tanks wizards and sorcerers got in NWN as their familiars and replaced them with familiars more in the spirit of the pen-and-paper game..." No, they aren't. Familairs in pnp cna be used as pretty effective combaters. Obsidian's version in NWN2 seems to be anti combat. Afterall, pnp familairs have to be some type of valuableness in melee since they are often used to make touch attack spells. If a familiar sucked in combat why would a wizard use them for that. No logic there at all. The NWN familair while 'beefed up' a little bit from pnp are a lot closer to the 'spirit' of pnp familairs than any other D&D game familiar used. Heck, pnp familairs tend to have better ac, better sr, and better special abilities than NWN familiar. Heck, under the right circumsatnce,s pnp familiars cna even have more hp. The only thing NWN familairs did better was increased damage (for some of the familairs).

"And how will I play it? I don't own a computer any more and i doubt my roommate would want me to clutter his computer with my games." I doubt he'd mind; but I don't know him so meh. Still, you cna always get a computer again. "Pocket Familiars?" Things aren't crystal clear; but supposedly familiars can't be used in combat. ie. They're as useful (useless) as BG2 and worse yet TOEE familairs were. People may whine about how 'overpowered' NWN1 familiars were; but at least in that game that had a use instea dof playing tidlywinks with. LOL

Dungeon Adventures 1-3 are a series of very fun, well made combat focused PWs as well. Nowadays, when I'm not working on my mod or spamming the 'net; my computer time is spent there.

Come on, Hades. You say D&D game ar eoverrated, and say what's the point of NWN2 yet you'll be one of the first in line to buy NWN2. As for this talk about too much fantasy RPGs; to those whining I say tough. People love fantasy games, and therefore those games are made; those games are made so people have to buy them. It's a cyclical nature. If you don't like fantasy or are sick of them then don't buy them. Of course, like Hades those crying will be first in line to buy the next fantasy RPG released. And, NWN2 should have a solid OC around 40-60 hours much like NWN1. It surely can't be much worse than KOTOR2. Despite the fact that the intro Obsidian is planning is underhwelming to me; the rest of their plans for the game sound promising except for a few silly things like their total destruction of familiars. Say hello to Pocket Familiars. HAHA!

So, who's right? Meta or Ender? Hmmm... It's a pickle to be sure.

"Ultimas." Really? If so, someone finally named one great European game. Hiphiphooray! Europe has one hit!!!

Yup, which is why I'm wodnering why people ar emaking such a fuss. LA is a good publisher. They seemed to have no problem publishing all the other SW games they have including KOTOR; but because of one unreleased patch for KOTOR2; people are whining. Go figure. LONG LIVE LA AND OBSIDIAN!

Treated Obsidian poorly? They agreed to allow Obsidian to develop a sequel to a top selling game? I;m sure Obsidian made some decent money off this, and got a good, solid start off their first game. if that's being treated poorlt, wowsers! So, they weren't allowed to release a single patch for sound, and movies. Big whoop! Oooo the humanity of it all!

A straight CRPG is one that is not a gay CRPG. Though, I disagree with JE's complaints about JE's combat. It may not be the best fighting game combat ever (I cna think of more than few that are better like some of the ones JE mentioned); but it's a heck of a fun. And, I had no problem with frame rate though load times did suck big time. <>

The mystery deepens! :ph34r:

Better look more closely. I do tend to make mistakes; but that's not me. Of course, it's still Volourn; but not THE Volourn. I surely don't make that many mistakes. It's someone trying too hard to copy me. R00fles!
