Well, there have been quite a few reported design flaws too. I don't think those will be corrected in a patch. Still, my opinion hasn't changed. I'll try the game when it comes out, and decide for myself if it's worth my money. No amount of bitching or bad reviews is going to change that.

Um, wouldn't that be a problem with the 'fan' part in 'Fanout'? Anyway, perhaps Oblivion will surprise me. I'm going to try K2, and I suppose I will try The Fall too, but I'm going to wait until they release about 20 more patches. This 'Freedom Force' sounds interesting. Is it any good?

My username is just the first nonsense that came off the top of my head when registering the account. The avatar is the cover of the '80s ninja movie '9 deaths of the ninja'. A true l33t avatar for a l33t username.

Did you try it? Just do it. You will like it soon enough. If not take someone along... Well, considering I'm mildly allergic to grass... you can guess lying down on it it's not my cup of tea. And bringing someone along for her to enjoy my sneezefest isn't quite my idea of fun.

You guys were actually serious about this? (w00t) Um, you must be in trouble each time a male doctor tries to inject you with something. :ph34r:

Nah, I'm just real good at making stuff up.

Are we talking about the same LA which promised simultaneous release on Xbox and PC? "

Oddly enough, it is you who has a reputation for furthering absurd discussions with absurd reasons, ad nauseam. I have no intention of getting such a reputation for myself. Not because I care, but because you're not important enough to waste my time on you. You have proven to be utterly impervious to logic. Congratulations. Good night, Volo.

You can't "finish" Morrowind, that's the beauty of it, you just play until you're done. Um, that's arguable. After beating Horrigan in FO2 you got a nice cutscene and slideshow ending, but after that you were returned to the mainland where you could still play. I don't see how any game benefits from being the neverending story.

It doesn't matter what I say, you will just not accept it. I already stated why using a brand name to sell inferior quality products demeans the brand, but you just say 'no, end of thread', so there's no point in arguing with you. I'm not about to start now. Can you dispute they completely lacked a role playing element? No, you can't. Hence they sucked as RPGs. They were action games. Prince of Persia and GTA were both action games too. They were both infinitely better, and those are just two that came off the top of my head. Mostly any action game was better than DA. Repetitive action, repetitive gameplay, repetitive monsters. Suckage. Point proven. I'm going to try this myself: End of Thread

Great point you have there, indeed. Well, yes. If from the murder total you substract those that didn't involve previous planning, the rest are mostly, planned crimes. Uncanny logic you got there, buddy. Read the newspapers, watch the news. All the stats you should need are there. It's not everyday a DC sniper pops up, fortunately. Interestingly enough, those were different times and for starters, you couldn't buy an assault rifle at the grocery.

Alas, I understand what you're saying.

Yet another well reasoned and backed point by the master of self-righteousness, Volourn. So? If DA had been such a great sales success, you might think Herve would at least have had money to keep the licenses of the products that such a good result were giving him. But it's pointless to argue about this. Post some figures and prove me wrong. No, they weren't. They pretty much sucked as action games and there was no rp'ing element to speak of. The only appealing aspect could be the co-op mode, but even that got old pretty fast.

Uh? It was demeaning in that it used a great RPG series' name to sell some b-rated action game. With RPG combat mechanics perhaps, but an action game nonetheless. If it hadn't been called Baldur's Gate, it would have gone down the toilet even quicker. It didn't feature any of the elements that made the BG games great, and as an action game, it left a lot to be desired. If that's not demeaning a franchise, nothing is. Oh and um, yeah. DA did outstanding as far as sales are concerned. So great that Herve couldn't even afford to keep the BG licenses. ROFL

I just love it when people go to any lengths to illustrate their points.

Hades just loves to hate KotOR.

After demeaning the franchise with the craptacular DA, I'm not so sure BG 3 would do so well sales wise. The Quest for the Holy Pantaloons however... ^_^

Um, a species comprised exclusively of females? I don't know for sure but I don't think so. But then again it's TotJ, and totally preposterous things are not unheard of there. )

Movies and books don't have to have their bugs fixed so a cliffhanger ending might work depending on the story. However, if at the end of a buggy game I am awarded a cliffhanger, I will be rather pissed because I will most likely not be buying the next installment of the saga. Movies and books aren't as expensive as games either.

No, there's at least one miraluka Jedi I can think of in the TotJ comics. I can't remember her name and I'm too lazy to look it up.

Never played Fable either, but Morrowind was... odd. After beating the main baddy, you just... kept going. No cinematic ending, no credits, nothing. As I said, no ending to speak of. Saying it was disappointing is an understatement.

That's not fair. Morrowind had no ending to speak of. "

That would actually make it seem closer to the dreadful 'Dark Alliance' series rather than to the original BG saga. We wouldn't want that, now would we?
