DGwar Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'd buy it. I need another 3 day game to dominate for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grone Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'm not going to buy another LucasArts game again. They made it clear they don't care about the customers when they nixed the content patch. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL, problem with that type of opinion is if I adopted that kind of thinking Id SERIOUSLY have a lack of games Id buy. I mean seriously, just off top of head that would eliminate -ANY Sony product -ANY Blizzard product -ANY LA product -list goes on and on! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How do you expect the situation to get better if you keep buying games from companies that don't care about their customers? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unless you have a revolution planned for tommorow, every god damn firm that produces video games for the kind of money that LA does, will have to broad a variety of fans to please all of them. That's why every fan is a little bit displeased. That's the problem with capitalism, and as long as you're country suppports that kind of s***, no video game producer will ever put the pleasing of fans higher than their own income, they simply can't afford it. It isn't necessarily their fault, because they didn't make the rules that is capitalism, they just have to play by them if they wish to survive. Sorry to say it. That said, KotORI was very good, KotORII ruled, and so KotORIII is going into my shopping cart also. And I won't lie to myself: There are so few RPG releases per year, and if I chose not to buy the only SW RPG release there was, I'd be dum. Unless of course they only make it for PS3, then I'm not buying it. Not because it couldn't be good, but because I'm old fashioned and sticking to my PC And anyways, I think their income would drop if they shipped an RPG game for platform only...

They made it clear they don't care about the customers when they nixed the content patch. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that makes two of us. Fanboy topics like these prove LA's strategy right. Grunker things are not that simple. It's not: capitalism = bend over. There is a term called "boycott" even though it has nothing to do with the term called "fanboy".

The markets do (ocassionally) determine what is sold to them: by varying the demand they affect the supply. Think of genetically modified crops in Europe, or environmentally-friendly coffee and tuna. Or blatantly shallow gender politics and sexism in games.

ESPECIALLY when it is in cases such as these where some are satisfied with the product and some aren't. And by the way, enviromentally correct foods and drinks are not selling, especially not in the US. Why? Because the market doesn't want to sell them, thus pushes up the prices for those product, and lowers them on their own. Lots of money brings lots of power, even power to control portions of the market. So even though you decide what you'll buy, the powerplayers on the world-wide market sure as hell will do what he or she can to make you buy whats in their interest, instead of your own. Thus, the few companies who think about your interest along with their own, will never grow very large.

Cloris Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I know that I'll end up buying it, but I probably only get it for PC (if available), since I ended up getting TSL for Xbox, and then again for PC so I could play more of the damn thing (LA can thank the modding community for me buying it twice).

detritusthetroll Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Question is, are you ready to switch platform in order to buy KotOR 3? There's been rumor at the Gamespy forums and gaming-age-forums about KotOR 3 becoming a Ps3-exclusive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ugh, if thats the case, count me out. I don't game enough to warrant buying a console. Heres hoping that it comes to PC as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Storm Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I will definitly buy it. Hopefully Obsidian learned their mistakes and won't make them again. But if they didn't. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth spock Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 How can you judge a game based on its predecessor(s) anyways? It's like the Lord of the Rings movies... the first one was great, the second one was even better and you wondered how the third one could get better but it just kinda blew you away...

Joukahainen Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 On a side note... I'd like to see another option made besides KOTOR3. If Obsidian took the best parts of KOTOR 1&2 and combined them with the best parts of Neverwinter Nights 1&2 we would have an awesome game with multi-player and a toolset. But, I don't think the game companies are smart enough to come up with this. KOTOR is popular because it's a Star Wars game with a good storyline. Neverwinter Nights is popular because of its replay/MOD ability, not to mention the fact that it's a multi-player game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll only buy KOTOR 3 if it comes out on PC. The vast majority of console games suck. It would be beyond stupid to buy a console just for the four or five decent games made for it.

Eddo36 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I'm going to buy K3 either way, no matter if it's good or bad. Just that if it's bad, then I'll be pissed off with it's makers again and post crap on their forums while waiting for the next game to come out.

Nur Ab Sal Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 That's the spirit! HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt.

You can interpolate the trend. TCW seemed to be better than TPM, so extrapolating the trend further bodes well for RotS.

metadigital Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The amusing thing about this thread is that, despite the fact that it was created in direct opposition to the "Don't buy K3" thread, the contents have ended up identical: most posters explaining why K2 sucked and why they won't buy K3, with the balance saying they might and that K2 wasn't that bad. Well, I thought it was ironic. :D OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
