  1. Scandinavia has, for right or wrong, been a term that increasingly (at least in the west) represents the Nordic countries. Though the topic is definitely a disputed one. I see it similar to people referring to the USA as America, or the UK as England. The wikipedia talk page about it is quite the gong show.
  2. I think Feargus is just using a term commonly used by many people to describe the game. I'm not sure how we can say we are the ones "in the right," when it's a minority of gamers that seem intent on making sure Diablo is referred to as an RPG.
  3. Don't you mean tenth time? :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It hasn't gotten to the tenth time....yet (assuming his third time comment was directed at mine).
  4. I'd rather play another great game.
  5. For the record SgtSniper, I have no beef with you. You see it as a cost issue and enjoy the types of games consoles provide. Though if I come along and start questioning you based on your purchasing decisions, and make suppositions based on that, I'd be surprised if you didn't get defensive too. But I'd also be surprised if, when patches and content upgrades start coming to consoles (which they already started doing BTW), you ignored them.
  6. Well, I'd suspect a good FO would be a subset of good RPGs. The funny thing is, by saying we hope it's good so that we have another fun game to play in no way indicates that we think it will or will not be a success. Gabs is just being confrontational for the sake of it. Unless she really would rather it not be a good game, which would be bizarre indeed. I never hope any game sucks, because if it's a good game, then I'll enjoy playing it.
  7. Even then, it would only make sense if Bioware made both games!
  8. That wouldn't make them "forum visitors" at all. More like forum family
  9. Salo was a pretty good goalie before his Olympic experience too " Oh please oh please oh please
  10. That's what I mentioned "personnel history."
  11. When you go around accusing people of supporting the development of "crap" software, yes. When your posts give the impression that all PC games are buggy crap, yes. What did you expect? You're on a board of a company with a personnel history of quality PC games, and when you slag on PC gaming someone decides to defend their platform of choice.
  12. You had no problems playing an elemental Druid.
  13. Hmmm....what do you mean by "favours tactical gameplay?"
  14. But you are the one that making the point about how you buy zero PC games because of experiences with broken games. Don't be self-righteous. You make the same elitist position in the skill-based vs class based thread, where you made the assertion that people would be stupid enough to pick the same skills as other people in their group to the point where everyone was the same, and that they have to be forced to pick different skills in order to be different. You have no more faith in human intelligence than I do. And besides, you have pretty much said they all need patches. Especially with your insistence that I only buy games if they have a patch (despite numerous clarifications). It may not be the way you're intending, but when you make extreme absolute decisions such as never playing a PC game again, what do you expect? The only reason why you'd take such an absolute policy is if you felt the problem was excessive. When people take absolute responses, people will read more into those responses. @Darque I italicized "require" for a reason. Recent games that I finished without needing a patch, just looking under my computer at my stack of games: Silent Hunter 3 Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Call of Duty 2 Rome: Total War Half-Life 2 Empire at War Civ 4 Well, those are the game cases I have found anyways. I was tempted to put Bloodlines, because I did finish that without a patch, but I know that there were problems with that game. This is true. Besides, IGN felt it prudent to open up this section on their website: http://cheats.ign.com/index/bug.html Bug free games already don't exist. XBOX games can be updated, and I'd be surprised if PS3 owners were no longer excluded, in spite of the HD being optional.
  15. Not sure. I can't recall many instances where dead people had sex with each other...at least enough so to warrant a title.
  16. Nothing stops you from incorporating the same principles when making your character in KOTOR as well. You were the one that started talking about how it was "gimping" your character. It's gimping as much as taking an Elemental Druid is over anything else. This, combined with other (some long ago) threads, makes me think you just aren't a fan of making a choice, or at least when presented with one, are incapable of picking something other than what you think is the best. You've made this distinction in the class based vs skill based thread as well. I'd rather keep my character creation as open ended as possible, rather than supporting lazy ideas such as having characters follow preset paths. I'd much rather the effort go into making the force powers more useful and applicable, rather than imposing artificial restrictions.
  17. If you can't see it, then you're a daft man. VERY FEW PC GAMES ARE BROKEN AND REQUIRE PATCHING You make it sound like they all need patches. I criticize you because you make fallicious claims about the entire PC gaming industry. Why didn't you just buy it right away? Oh wait, you were checking to see if it's a good game. Yes, three. Do you have any idea how common those "crashes" were. It was still easy to play the game from start to finish without the patch, which is in your own words what constitutes "crap."
  18. I'd rather it be good, so that we can all have fun playing it.
