Awesome. Does your mom plan on playing NWN2 multiplayer?

Also, because our druid is completely incompetent in all aspects.

1848, a new wargame being released for free by Battlefront.

Sucks to be you

Looks like Cell Factor.

Why wouldn't it be here to stay? If whatever they're doing now sells, why bother investing more into design when the end result doesn't guarantee extra sales?

For me, console gaming has been pretty much dead this gen. There are maybe 1-2 titles I'd have wanted to play. Now, one is coming up for the PC. The other one was a GC title, so I could play that on the Wii if I get it. If the Wii doesn't live up to expectations, then it'll just be the status quo of consoles being irrelevant for me. MGS4 and FF13 just don't make me hot. The 360 has Mass Effect to make me look their way, but it's not even remotely a system seller.

Nah, Fengshuang isn't that type of deranged individual.

The PS3 will flip everyone over and attack their weak spot for massive damage.

Costs are increasing. Fanbase isn't. It matters. The solution, of course, is to dumb it down to the common denominator.

Well, the industry's working against them, what with ever-increasing costs for important CRPG stuff like HDR and full VA.

Do you mean the Cube that outsold the Box 4 to 1, or the one that managed to make a profit out of every sell?

How much writing would you say NWN2 has compared to previous titles you've done (eg. PST, KOTOR2)? Also, may I marry you?

Hahahahaha, you're talking about DS2. I repeat, HAHAHAHAHA

You know the murdering each other part wouldn't have been just figurative if this happened.

None of those titles would do anything for the Japanese market, though. They'll probably still end up eating up the PS3 (despite the open pricing for the premium one, suckers) for MGS4, FFXIII, blah blah. I still don't see the 360 picking up any steam in Japan. The Wii will probably be pretty popular in Japan. The DS seems to be doing ridiculously well over there, and it shares a similar philosophy. Whether the console/handheld market difference will make such a difference remains to be seen. Will the Japanese opt for the PS3 for the graphics? It didn't help the PSP, if anything. We'll see. Whether the PS3 being larger than the Xbox has an effect will be interesting to note, as well. The main issue for the Wii is third-party support. Kojima might be doing MGS4, but he's already stated that the Wii is the system he's most interested in working on as a designer. Then there's FFXIII. Will it be a system seller? Of course. Will Dragon Quest be on the PS3 as well? There's already a DQ spinoff coming for the Wii, and the series has historically simply gone to the system that's most popular (and the series has never been about graphics anyway). I can't see the PS3 flop, but I don't think it deserves to lead the market, either. That price is simply pretentious drivel ("it's probably too cheap, too!!!"), especially since it's due to imposition of BS like Bluray on gamers. Gamers didn't ask for it, but now they have to pay for it.

Don't forget Ridge Racer, heathen.

It's RIIIIIIIDGE RACER!!!

I think the main question is, why is there a thread about DS2's storyline?

I dunno, I remember getting killed in the demo because I wasn't paying attention

Boohoo, we'll get to play NWN2 before Hades. Win-win.

Couldn't hold out on the necrophilia anymore, eh?

Erm, yeah, no one important's given any estimate yet.

The Frag Dolls will DEMOLISH your face.

Yeah, I went to E3 too. Jerk.
