Judge Hades

No, NWN needs a decent game in it to be playable which it didn't. NWN can't stand by itself, it wasn't designed to.

NWN only turned "good" due to the obsessive community and nothing else.

The game will be Fallout in name only just like FOT and FOPOS. It has no hope but be otherwise. If it actually feels and plays like Fallout 1 and 2 I will be very surprised. I will be expecting Morrowind with Guns.

Actually BG was turn base. It had a autopause option that simulated rounds. Also how is a radial menu system make it easier for the game play? I am thinking it would make it easier to convert over from PC to COnsole, not make the game easier to play but then again it shouldn't be the GUI that makes the game difficult. It should be the actual game. SOmething that those people who made the Gothic series need to learn. ToEE was a disaster not because it was Turn Base, but because Troika can't make games.

I hate first person and Diablo style gameplay.

I am more along the lines of 65% Lucas Arts and 35% Obsidian. After all LA didn't have to publish the game in its current state.

I don't deal with ifs only with what actually happens.

Then that person should get fired along with the QA staff.

In my ever so humble opinion there is absolutely no freaking excuse to have bugs on a Console game. The whole point of the console that each console has the same configuration. The same hardware. The same level of drivers and OS. The point of this uniformity is to limit bugs next to nil. LucasArts QA failed in their task and such a great failure such as the X-Box release of KotOR 2 every member of the QA staff for the X Box should be fired. If I was their boss and they messed up that badly they would be getting the pink slip faster than you can say "Yoda's beatin' stick."

Laptops are a very minor part of the PC game market. Also if one doesn't read the system specs before buying the game that person deserves all the crap for trying to get the game to work, then have it fail. Always read the system specs.

My opinion is relevant to one very important person. Me. Everyone else is irrelevant, for the only person I have to live with is me.

Never saw that movie and I don't particularly want to. I prefer the constant progression of the now. The use of flashbacks stops the story and makes it stagnant. If a story point in the past is important to the present, don't use a flashback but actually draw out the information and drama in current action. Flashbacks are a crutch and should be avoided as much as possible.

I gave NWN a 75%. A grade of C. I have given no game a 96%. Ever. I am saying that a 3D engine would allow more features and greater range of animation. Also A fully #D environment would cater to the newer gamers. If a game is going to make any sort of money it needs to cater more to than the Hardcore crowd. It should have solid hardcore elements such as Turn Base combat, strategic and hard battles, but also look pretty doing it. Also in a fully 3D environment with a Radial menu system similar to Troika's ToEE the game GUI can be usuable to the Console as well as the PC. Double the market means potential double the earnings. One must not only take a look at what the hardcore people want but look at the broader applicationa of staying in business by making a product that will sell to a large audience.

There is no level draining in Star Wars d20. PERIOD.

There are plenty of games that I like. I just don't like games that take the name of the original and yet have nothing in common with it.

They have yet made a game I consider fun.

Ah, the joys of being an internet forum ogre. *shakes his jiggly belly*

I normally give a new game company, developer or publisher, 3 games before I right them off permanently and it has to be three games in a row that are bad or do something tremendously stupid. LucasArts releasing KotOR 2 in this condition fit in my "Tremendously Stupid" catagory. LucasArts has lost this customer and unless they have someone very impressive line up with at least 2 full years development time for KotOR 3 I will not be buying future games from LA. There are very few game companies that I no longer buy from. EA, Ubisoft, Troika, and Blizzard just to name a few.

Soon.

Or a content patch to put in the cut material. Still, we are better off than the poor x-boxers. They are the ones who got really screwed.

Longer development time and different publishers. How about that?

Last I heard that this is purely a bug fix for technical issues. No content. Still, I like to know why LucasArts is delaying the patch. Are their QA that incompetent?

It's all about the lightsabers Hades. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The lightsabers are downright silly. There is no hard science why they should work. Now, in my Concrete Kingdom setting, I have a weapon called the sun sword. It uses projected fusion energy, that when gravity induction field is in place acts like a long sword on fire. Also you can use the weapon with out the gravity induction field and have the energy shoot out like a blaster. Also you can scale the power, depending how much damage want to do, or set the weapon on overload to act as a grenade. Much more versitile than a lightsaber.

With full bridge descent simulation!

I agree it would be worth it, but I do think that the Infinity Engine had its day. Sure the game will sell to the hardcore gamers, but I think that if they could use that money to make an Infinity Engine like game that is fully 3D and turn base. I think that type of game would sell more than another regular IE game.
