There was Black Isle. Troika. Bioware. Then there were none

Its just a heads-up to those fans of Firefly that frequent the forums here. Heh, you may even be fellow browncoats yourselves.

Currently playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R... awesome also a game of Icewind Dale II on the side.

BIosh0ck. That is all.

Rule No.1 : Never talk about The Hivemind Rule No.2 : Never talk about The Hivemind Regarding Bethesda's Fallout game... Its also being released for the crackbox360, need I say anything more?

Thanks, Darque

Black Hats: 1 DRM & Co.: 0 Place your bets, ladies and gents! Round 1 goes to the hackers. Round 2... Ding! Ding! LOL! Just something I had to share. Details below. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070125/tc_nm/hackers_dvd_dc :cool:

Check it out. LOL!

Sounds like a clish

A good crpg needs good villians, these guys however don't sound that great. Quite generic in fact. What I like in a villian, is figuring out his angle. He/she/it has to be mysterious. The conflict needs to be personal, more than your basic good and evil or black and white. Telling us about it now, before the game is even releseased is lame as well. -- It must be some new pathetic form of hype-building. LOL

Welcome to this brave new world, of EA and XBox ... All your crpg are belong to us... :echo: MUHHAHAHAHA! :echo:

You envy someone for not playing a good game?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its all about the expectation. Meaning that I have completed the game already, someone else not having played it yet, has a good game to look forward to. Semantics, your friend. kthxbye.

Lionheart : bleh : Even if you paid me, I wouldn't want to play it. A big dissapointment. I mean Black Isle, the Special - system, the alternate-renaissance setting, - where did it all go so horribly wrong? Nevermind, I know. Hiring a novice console development studio, primarily known for arcadey action games to create a CRPG. I wonder whoever came up with that bright idea? :sarcasm: About "Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay" - if you haven't played it yet I envy you. Greatly ties in to the movies and actually expands on the mythos of the Riddick universe. Good game period.

Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of people. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living. - Bertrand Russell

*jumps into thread* Preamble: I am not a fan of either "next-gen" console. Microsofts' or Sony's. Saying that, neither am I a PC 'elitist' (whatever that means). IOW, this is objective info. Make of it what you will. Came across this article which may be of concern to those interested in Sony's PS3.

Think about it like this, at least your thread got more replies than mine.

Well, not sad per se, just pointing that Bethesda's focus is in making maximum sales instead of on making a great Fallout. imho. In the end whatever game they make, let us hope it has some virtue in being called "Fallout 3". We all know the fallout name has great resonance with many gamers.

:groan: They are really stupid if they think the Fallout fanbase just consists of people who frequent the NMA site. On the other hand it probably won't matter seeing as its Bethesda. Masters at hype and soil eroding graphics. If Oblivion sales are anything to go by; plus FOO3 being made for console. The same people that bought Oblivion will probably buy FOO(blivion)3 and make Bethesda a boatload of money. And that is the bottomline. Sad but true.

Saw this linked over at NMA, and thought it a good idea to post it here. Essentially a tribute article of sorts from a gaming site called "Next-Generation". Ironically the site name is fitting. The parts about Looking Glass and especially BIS may be of interest, as I know many ex-BIS forumites dwell here. CLICK Y Its weird ... and wonderful to think that most of my favourite games were created by BIS and Looking Glass.

Good stuff.

I thought Slipknot was kinda original back with their first release. Not so good later on. Most of these bands are labelled nu-metal (limp-bizkit, korn, etc.) and sound totally different from each other. Genre labels usually were just a tool for music fans to quickly hone in on stuff to their taste. But nowadays I find it quite bothersome (genre-labels that is)... nu-metal was (still is?) actually a degoratory term used by "real" metalheads to describe music thought as inferior or crappy. Mostly music from the U.S. Though alot of euro bands are 'nu-metal' and some old-school bands sound decidedly nu-metallish. As well as being called sell-outs. I'm more into punk and old-school crap myself. Danzig, Misfits, RATM etc. But if you like loud and heavy music check out some of these fine euro outfits. Hypocrisy, Dimmu Borgir, In Flames

Old news. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> heh heh just kiddin' Yeah, its kinda old, so..? Still a heads-up for those interested in Homm V etc.
