I hope no one missed the highly metaphoric meaning of my two gifs. The HD consoles are in a downward spiral of ever-increasing budgets while Nintendo makes money hand over fist with low budget games by concentrating on a larger and less petty audience.

This is kind of funny.

The situation:

Great movie, got some nice Matrix vibes as well.

Finally got back to a gaming-capable PC. This is really cool, kind of what I wanted L4D to be. A lot of developers could learn a thing or two from Valve about minigames. The lock opening one is perfect it takes up time, requires concentration, but isn't annoying or frustrating.

That's whom they made it for. Yay options!

Yeah, I can see the hardcore mode being a big hit

Good old announcements of announcements. Gaming industry, never change.

How very insightful, Volo, you are truly the defender of the oppressed.

FRAPS + F10?

Truly my heart bleeds for you.

It's not like you could ignore him or even put him on an ignore list fortuitously offered by the forum... There is something to be said about feeding the Volo

Sozzy, of course, why didn't I think of that. One nice adjective to describe Obsidian's unique blend of unpolished gameplay and bad mechanics.

Something that is playable from beginning to end is not "broken". Please use correct terms to express things. Thanks. What's the official term then, badly designed? Unpolished? Flawed? Gameplay challenged?

Don't be ridiculous. But who doesn't like fish monsters and giant curved swords?

That has always been the case.

Even MotB barely has a cult anything and it actually deserved to have one. AP will probably fade into obscurity as another interesting but ultimately broken game.

I love me some horse bag.

You'll need a bigger budget to have prettier graphics.

We agree then, releasing unfinished products should be discouraged.

Whether it's true or not, it's another one of those statements that activates the little red phone in the Volocave. Also, any multi-platform game game can expect the majority of the sales to come from the console side and it's a sad state when being forgiving to unfinished products is considered something positive.

But it has vodyanoi and falchions!

Depending on the publisher-retailer contract, SEGA might have to buy the unsold copies back, which isn't particularly good on the bottom line.

It's like you're trying to summon Volo.
