Berserk Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 "Volourn you have to change the store where you buy the games "te vieron cara de tonto" No. No, I do not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why did you pay 90$ for NWN?? Are games that expensive in your area because I bought it the day it was released and i payed around 40$ for it, either you are one big sucker or your game stores are some of the biggest rip offs I've ever heard of
Phosphor Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Volourn would be quoting prices in Canadian dollars, and likely figuring in the tax as well. $90 CDN when NWN was first released sounds about right. Atari retailed that thing at a massive price; I often saw it at $79.99 CDN at release. Now, I see the Platinum edition for less than the price of one expansion pack.

Pidesco Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I think I've mentioned this before, but I played Daggerfall like a nut (only stopped because my hd crashed a few months back, actually). Naturally I awaited Morrowind with great expectations, and I even pre-ordered it from the US (in a special, more expensive box).. Morrowind is the most disappointing game I've ever played. And expensive too. I forgot about Morrowind! Morrowind was a huge disappointment for me too. But Daggerfall still rules!

Rosbjerg Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I would say NWN .. I bought the game the day it came out and after 20 minutes I was so bored I never touched it again .. or Lionheart .. same deal .. never got past Barcelona! tried several times! but I just get so bored that I feel a need to go to sleep after 20 minutes .. which is really strange, since I love playing games like Europa Universalis II where you can stare at the screen for 10 minutes without doing a thing ..

213374U Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Spain NWN 49.95 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Guest Surlent Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 No expectations, no dissapointments. I don't remember any particular dissapointing game, because I usually don't buy games before either reading reviews and/or playing demo/warez version. And since nowadays reviews are more suckups and comps don't run always everything perfectly whether you had good specs or not, demo/warez is the way to go.
kirottu Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Lionheart is getting a bad rap. I don't understand how folks can call Lionheart the most disappointing with games like MOO3 and PoR2 in the running. Unless, of course, they've never played MoO3 or PoR2. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Moo3 was boring, but I wasn This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Var Durkov Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Hey, what's all this NWN bashing for. Everyone says how dissapointing it is, but yet here everyone is, eagerly anticipating the sequel I'd have to go with Lionheart myself, with Arcanum as a close second.
Rosbjerg Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Hey, what's all this NWN bashing for. Everyone says how dissapointing it is, but yet here everyone is, eagerly anticipating the sequel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have no intentions of buying or playing NWN2.. I'm on these boards for KOTOR2 .. somehow the gameplay really doesn't appeal to me! Fortune favors the bald.
zer"0" Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Fallout 3 ... I have a time-machine in my backyard. For real? Probably Deus Ex:IW. The original Dues Ex is one of my favorite games ever. I was so psyched up for the sequel, I followed its development until release. Ion Storm could have released a really, really great game, Warren Spector ...what happened?
Volourn Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 "Hey, what's all this NWN bashing for. Everyone says how dissapointing it is, but yet here everyone is, eagerly anticipating the sequel" Don't forget that this thread is about 'most dissapointing game'; not 'worst game'. I know some of the people who wrote NWN was 'most dissapointing' actually like NWN but they expected a Super Game so they were dissapointed. R00fles! :ph34r: DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Like I said I wasn't expecting NWN to be a super game from the gods, just a game that is on par in quality as Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. At least dragons in BG 2 were a challenge.

Judge Hades Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Hardly. I died more than once against Firkraag. Against Klauth I had a pretty easy time of it. I had a party of six and getting my butt kicked in BG 2. I had all by my lonesome in NWN. Hard kill versus Easy kill. Hmmm... NWN loses.
Volourn Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 No. You are wrong. Period. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 No, you are wrong. By my experience I speak truth.
mkreku Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 For what it's worth, I also thought Baldur's Gate offered more of a challenge than Neverwinter Nights. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Volourn Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 "For what it's worth, I also thought Baldur's Gate offered more of a challenge than Neverwinter Nights.' Overall, I'd agree that BG2 offered more challenge than the NWN OC; but we were discussing dragons... " DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 And the NWN dragons are a pushover compared to their BG2 counterparts. Did I mention I took on two dragons at once in NWN without even a scratch? Man, uber lame.
