on the contrary, I'm a true believer. Obsidian is my god, Avellone is my prophet

in my eyes, a game exclusive to any one platform can be completely ignored. so it's safe to say, New Vegas is the RPG of the year, followed by AP, followed by ME2.

wow, pretty low scores... any particular thing they all didn't like?

the way I see it, it could work just fine

I have a feeling he saved it for an expansion

damn Bethesda and xbox

oh. my. goodness.

infidel!

Amen.

oh no, I'm not falling for that one again

girl gamers of uk :giggle: so, this is their first big project, right? never heard about Bedlam Games. in theory an AD&D slasher game sounds cool, but usually they turn out to be crap

co-op multiplayer and a gazillion different character builds.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

that's my point, I don't want to be bullied by a flippin' video game, "oh, you were too slow, boo-hoo, well I took the liberty to choose a line for you, what are you gonna do about it?"

for god's sake... the troll argument again sorry I started this conversation

I beat the game, so I didn't just hear about it, I saw it in action and experienced it. well, dying might not be the same as having the game choose a dialogue option for you, but the result is pretty much the same: you have to reload. unless you don't really care, what your character says. well, I did care, I wanted to try and play through AP with an operative that had strong principles. so every time I missed a line or wasn't satisfied with the results of a conversation, I had to roll back to the last auto-save.

you're probably right. but whenever I hear about AP's dialogue, this comes to mind: so, yeah, in my book QTE=timed dialogue. which isn't necessarily accurate. still, I think QTEs influenced the decision to put that mechanic into AP

but didn't Obsidian actually change the whole mechanic with AP? you don't get dialogue lines, you have 10 seconds to press 1 of 3 buttons with varying results which are sometimes unpredictable.

hm? I thought QTE is when you have a few seconds to press a certain button. if this isn't QTE, what the hell QTE is then?

QTE is one of the things that will bring destruction to video games, eventually

So I take it you're not going to get Diablo 3 next year? Diablo 2 and DAO have nothing in common. Diablo 2 sends constant waves of enemies at you. big waves. and DAO has small groups waiting for you at different spots, which you cannot go around.

never played oblivion so I'll have to take your word for it, but you make it sound like TW2 has C&C, when in fact it doesn't I saw 2 quests out of 200 where there actually was a choice.

this says it all, because ME2 is not a very good game. it's plain "good". and dropping from the epic BG2 to a mediocre ME2 isn't very inspiring

ahaha, come on! it could be interesting

yeah, I meant the series, the infinity engine to be precise
