Volourn

"I also remember Planescape: Torment, possibly the best game I've ever played" And? Obsidian didn't create PST.

"Some idiots can even munch PS:T!" That's because PST is also a munchkin's wet dream. And, no, it's not irrelevant.

"is not better than 2. Apart from the Big Plot Twist, Bioware's game is really rather simplistic and doesn't have the depth of KOTOR2." No. KOTOR2 is not THAT deep. Sammael, I agree with you mostly; but I simply disagree that KOTOR2's plot is even remotely in PST's league. Not even close. Though; I'd rate the game about the same as you did overall.

"KOTOR II. The first one was good but the plot was obvious and ultimately boring. Worst part of KOTOR was having to play dumb and having companions who played dumb till the leviathan" That doesn't make sense. If one has to play dumb in KOTOR1; they have to play brain dead in KOTOR2. And, oh, you are an Exitium wannabe. You do realzie right that you can prefer KOTOR2 and still like KOTOR1? It wasn't that long ago where you were defending KOTOR1 as a greta game and now you are calling the story broing and the game crap. Whatever

Meh. The game's length was fine. It took me about 40 hours to complete which was about the same as KOTOR1. "Naah, if you enjoy the game process itself, and not a munchkin" What a foolish comment. KOTOR2 is a munchkin's wet deam.

"I didn

"Compare and contrast with JE Sawyer, who apologizes even when his efforts are pretty good ::chuckles::" No. IWD2 sucked. It wa snot pretty good. Nice try; though. "Maybe I'm being old-fashioned, but I see a considerable difference between legitimate marketing/ publicity and hype. If we were being gentlemanly about it, hype in computer gaming terms usually equates to BS. Molyneaux admitted as much apres-Fable. Bioware, apres- Neverwinter, did not." Molyneaux was a wuss for apologizing. BIO had, and has nothing to apologize for. Nice try; though. "Haven't they remaindered X-boxes in Kanada, like they have in the UK? X-boxes are dirt cheap here for some reason." Sadly, no. X-boxes are still over $200.

"In other words, hit a button that has a function reserved ONLY for DS Players" That's just dumb. Why restrict it so? Just have it if a LS PC goes around wacking everything that moves; they fall to the DS. That seems the more logical choice.. <>

"Alright Volourn, it being hyped but so far most people appear to not care much about Jade Empire." Of course most people don't. That's true for every game. Afterall, let's say NWN sold 1 million copies. How many total gamers are there? 5 mil? 10 mil? 25 mil? Surely more than 1 mil. Safe to say that most gamers let alone people don't care about NWN either. Then again, you don't have to sell your game to most people. Afterall, with JE, there's people like me who would buy it; but can't because they don't own a x-box anytime soon (unless the price is $100 or less). I believe JE will be successful. I'd be surprised if it got KOTOR numbers though.

You should post this in the KOTOR2 Help forum. Don't worry about it now. I'm sure a feriendly neighbourhood mod will do it for you. As for the problem. Make sure to update your video driver espicially if it's an ATI card. If that doesn't fix your problem; I don't know what well. <>

That explains the Ff series continued success in spite of their usually long length..

My mod is the best.

I'm not. Damn x-box.

I give the slight edge to KOTOR1 because it just feels more done instead of haphazard.

Why should they? Obsidian/LA didn't bother to make a complete game in their opinions. <> And, they get paid to do it.

Obsidian is the developer. They are to blame. Period.

http://mostwanted.gamespy.com/2005/top10/2.html http://www.gamespot.com/features/6116286/p-4.html Are just a few things that illustrate how JE is being hyped. This doesn't include the multitude of other articles being on JE.. That's not to say I think that JE will sell millions; but to say it isn't being hyped is just plain retardation. "the GameFAQs JE forum area only have 2 pages as Fable (that been released at some time) have 15 pages and a social board." Hilarity! You ae comapring a game that's been out for some months to one that isn't. Not to mention, virtually no game has been as hyped as much as Fable.

JE has been in top 10 or top 20 "Most Wanted Games" lists for 2005. Don't think they should be worried. However, if people think that JE is gonna sell as much as KOTOR or the D&D games; they are sadly mistaken.

Because the boards need fixin'; that's why.

1. FO2 1. BG2 1. NWN 4. BG1 5. FO1 6. FF8 7. NHL series 8. NFL series 9. WWF Smackdown series 10. Ultima series

"I work at a game store and today had a conversation with a guy who was complaining about how he was 15 hours into KOTOR 1 and how he thought that was too long. Guys like that are now the norm, not the exception." Proof?

"Bioware aren't aggressively hyping Dragon Age, they really ain't." They are as much as they can. "Where are the drooling fanboi Dragon Age fansites? At the same early point in the NWN development cycle I remember reading at least three decent newsites (i.e. NWN Stratics) picking up NWN tidbits." A. You better pay more attention. Those same NWN fansites *are* picking up DA tidbits. B. A lot of NWN fanboys are worried that DA's toolset will be a lot more complicated to use espicially due to the lack of tilesets in the game. Pay attention and you'll see this stuff. "Where are the reams of concept art and screenies? A modest selection has appeared, with the emphasis being on modest." 2 years away dude, and they have JE to hype which is out in 2 months, dude. Which do you think gets top priorty right now, dude? "Where is the relentless hyperbole?" WTH? Do you even pay attention before you babble? According to BIO; DA is the spiritual succor to KOTOR, NWN, and BG. It'll be their best game ever. Blah, blah, blah. "Sorry, maybe a bit later, but right now DA doesn't have anywhere near the hype that NWN did." It's still be hyped agreatd eal, and chances are once JE is released the DA hype will EXPLODE to EPIC proportions. "Maybe it's because Bioware are now bigger and have stuff like Jade Empire to concentrate on. I dunno. I like to think it's because they over-egged the NWN process and learnt from that." You are retarded.

One of the worst parts of the game. They got ya to collect 4 items again. *yawn*

"i wonder what the patch actually aims to fix...." Um.. Bugs.. "I'd rather have an apology" Apologizes are for wussies.

1. This is just plain stupid talk. 2. Huh? BIO isn't hyping DA? You onc rack? the game is two years away and they've already announced it and talked about it with gaming sites. They're hyping it as much as they can. 3. Woopity do dah. Lots of people want to be millionaires; doesn't mean they'll get it. I'm sure in Atari's perfect world; they'd have BIO dveloping it for so many reason ala 1. BIO = $ 2. BIO can afford to cover development costs on their own so that would save Atari money which means less risk on them (less profit of course as well; but hey thems the breaks). 3. In spite of whatever differences BIO and Atari may have; they obviously seem to work well together or else why would BIO agree to host the NWN2 forums? Hmm... 4. Nonsense. BG3 = Insta Hit for Obsidian. Don't be silly.
