Prosper if you ever finish something, it'll be a true work of art.

'Tis true. I didn't go to uni until I was like 22, I saw so many fresh faced 18 year old folks take mickey mouse degree's, and never really have a clue about what they wished to do with their life. I think that is likely some part of the problem. That and everyone thinks they're going to be superstar's. Idiots.

I'm just going off what I've heard from people who have worked on product with them in the past. I genuinely hope that Obsidian find it smooth sailing.

Isn't that pretty much the usual Obsidian's dev cycle with maybe the exception of Fallout: New Vegas and Dungeon Siege III? They didn't have to deal with two mentalists who think they can change the game overnight. Seriously though, I don't think its going to be a pleasant dev cycle, I could be wrong, The Obsidian guys have publicly stated their internal learning, all seems sensible, so provided they can keep up with the crazy train, it may in fact be okay. The real shame is that South Park, hasn't really been funny in years.

All I really know is this will be a painful dev cycle. Trey and Matt will make sweeping overnight changes with no thought the implications. I hope they're ready.

HAHAHAHAHA! Most bullcrap post I've read this year, and Volo exists.

Are the South Park creators involved? If they are... Obsidian are in for a painful ride.

All good stuff, its funny alot of the stuff he's talking about seems like common sense, but when you've seen those things go wrong first hand, you really really begin to understand the importance of stuff like ease of use, ease to understand concept, simplification isn't about dumbing down, its about clarity, and it seems to be the core thing he's speaking of.

Heh... He doesn't deserve that glory, unless I can shoots him in the face.

He's probably paid for by Bioware.

What Scotland really needs is a weak currency. They do agriculture and tourism. Swapping the pound for the Euro is barking mad. However, I'd welcome a referendum in some ways. Make the case, force everyone to grow up a bit and think hard about the results rather than this sliding tumble by way of patriotism. Being pro-Scottish doesn't mean you have to be anti-British. Plus, as Nightshape says, how bloody dull and insipid would England be without the other parts of the Union? I actually think that southern England, not counting Cornwall, is perhaps the dullest part of the Union, the city of London specifically, Greater London has its interesting parts, but my impression of exiting the tube at Bank (where I travel via daily), was somewhat an apocalyptic nightmare of grey suited human worker drones on their way to work in the financial sector, not only was the version of the rat race the most depressing, and frightening experience in my life, but it also reminded me specifically why the Scots are so important to this nation, we need hairy, grown men, in tartan skirts (kilts obviously), brandishing sporrans, and bag pipes to breath a little life into the UK, and we also need no nonsense speaking fire haired women who could quite happily stamp on your face as f*** your brains out.

As if English teenagers spoke english. ... Does anything in England speak "English"?

Now this will sound a bit weird, but without the Scots this country is genuinely screwed, we're talking Tory forever kinda screwed. What Wals says is right thought, the Scots bring so much to the nation.

So EA got the father of M&M together with BioWare and somehow decided they should be making a C&C sequel I wouldn't write it off, it could be the best facebook integrated turn based strategy game ever.

Pre-Production teams alway start smaller. Unless SE outsources the bulk of the game somewhere else. Yeah, that's a pretty large pre-pro team.

So I've been playing NWN OC (On chapter 3), Final Fantasy 1 on my PSP (almost done), Infamous on PS3, Oblivion on 360... Hmmm yeah!

The same is always happening to me, whenever I hear fun and CoD:MW in a same sentence I feel like Different people different taste Yeah totally dude, that said... CoD is just dirty, like a really bad summer blockbuster.

Why? There's nothing really wrong with the game. It's linear like many other before it and many after it. It's true that i wanted to have a 3 person party in some fights but some strategy and even that was over. The combat is better than what Bioware and Bethesda have to offer. Honestly, newer Western RPGs are worse than what I'm playing right now. I've put 30 something hours into it and i'll gladly put so more and i will get the platinum trophy, because it's worth it. Of course i'll keep going. When i had other stuff to do i kept going from save point to save point thinking, this is the last one, and hours passed by. So it was worth my money and my time so far and I'm only chapter 8 or so. Finally got a party of 3 so that paradigm combinations are far more deadly. Even with enemies having higher HP, nothing can stop me. I do have to replay a fight or two, but i like the combat and it's no problem. Just want to make it clear, I'm not trying to say you shouldn't play it, have fun with it etc... Just that I personally found the entire experience boring, and yeah it was an intensely uninspired experience for me. I'm just not wired in a way that relentless smashing of my face against the same wall will eventually become fun if I rotate my head slightly, and have a pretty girl recite a story to me while I do it. That's just my perspective on it, for you well... I don't suppose it feels like that at all, so no need for any issues, I was just a little shocked when someone said "fun" and "FF XIII".

I hate it when you speak sense.

Wow... Just wow... A true example of masochism.

Are you drunk?

Because the world needs another movie.

Surely ~Di is just off in Skyrim? Also cheers for the Tarna update

Pulled an all nighter :D

No sane man would invest in you Krezack.
