I didn't try to imply that. Or change your views. Just throwing rock to the pond.

 

Dafty.

And, I threw a bigger rock into the pond. <>

Now it's all muddy. Thanks to you, dafty.

Name one great game to come from Europe. I can't. I can name many from North America, and many from Asia. But, none from Europe or other continents. It's not an attack on players from Europe; but from the European game industry if there even is one.

Since you're disputing what people are calling great, then what is your definition of a great game? A game you like?

 

I don't consider FF, Madden or Arcanum great games. The first two is only a matter of taste though, I'm not interested in their type of gameplay so to me they're pretty dull. But I could admit that they are probably top of the line when it comes to production value. So if that's the criteria used, dismissing both Ground Control and Chronicles of Riddick makes no sense.

 

(Arcanum, by the way, is another story. That is a game I do like, but there are far too many issues with it to be called a great game.)

 

Anyway, if we're going with production value and popularity in their genre, how about Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2? Those are European and I think they qualify as great games. Not my style of game, but neither is Madden or FF.

"A game you like?"

 

Yes.

Only a complete moron is going to argue that EA changed anything major from NHL 2005 to NHL 06.

Ultimatly what EA does is tries to get the most people to play their games, thus they end up alienating the group that initially made the game a hit. But some of their newer stuff is actually pretty good if you like that sort of thing (DefJam). I just didn't like the fact that they made a brand new strategy game and attached Command And Conquer to it to get more people to play it.

I was rather surprised the EA didn't add a salary cap in NHL 2006.

 

Likewise, I was also surprised that the schedule is the same every year.

"Finland? Europe? *yawn*"

 

Everynoek nows that if it isn't Amerika itd oens't exist, you silly!

R00fles!

Volourn I'm afraid you have Roshan Grammar Disease!

Better look more closely. I do tend to make mistakes; but that's not me. Of course, it's still Volourn; but not THE Volourn. I surely don't make that many mistakes. It's someone trying too hard to copy me.

 

R00fles!

Who would want to copy Volourn? I mean I can understand why people would want to emulate my magnificient self, but Volourn?

People are

 

Unless it really is Volourn but he's just saying it's NOT Volourn to throw us off the scent!!!

The mystery deepens! :ph34r:

I smell a "Andy Kauffman"

How is EA really on topic for a conversation about Bioware and Jade Empire?

 

Volourn's logic astounds me, as per usual.

 

I'm going to make an assumption that you recognized it wasn't the real Volourn and are trying to be funny???

Maybe I'm behind all the accounts again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Except I'm not. The mods already warned me.

Aren't you always?

Bioware has become too much of a leviathan to be able to please several of it's fans and still get new ones.

No no, I am sure quite a few new shoot'em up fans were thrilled with Jade Empire..
