April 22, 200619 yr Oh, U8 was also still Richard Garriott's baby. It'd have been made in a similar style without EA. The best one had RT combat though. EGADS! Edited April 22, 200619 yr by alanschu
April 22, 200619 yr I agree, give it up Hades. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NEVER! I HAVE YET BEGUN TO BE IRRATIONAL!
April 22, 200619 yr Heh, if you check out the designer diary, you won't be so hopeful about the game's potential for greatness. Creative director seems like a real charmer. EA (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
April 22, 200619 yr The joke is that EA keeps losing more and more money. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
April 22, 200619 yr Hades is smart for having convictions and trying to stand by them, as well as acknowledging them in public. If more people did that rather than jumping at the opportunity to fling some cash out of their wallet when the newest piece of crap comes down the pipeline, games would be a hell of a lot better than they are now. Get off his back. If you need a recent example of how actually being a bit discerning and exercising some self-restraint in your purchases can help the industry, just look at Ubisoft's recent decision to stop using StarForce in their games.
April 22, 200619 yr ...What's StarForce? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A company that was unfairly targeted by crybabies. RIP
April 22, 200619 yr That thing destroyed my old processor. And hey, I liked WC:Prophecy...one of my favorites, actually. Though the acting was sorta not...good. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
April 22, 200619 yr It's EA, nothing to get excited about. Move along. Besides, isn't "Project Gray Company" a somewhat awkward name? Why not just sticking as usual with something imaginatively, like "The Lord of the Sims 2007"? Rain makes everything better.
April 22, 200619 yr Why the lack of enthusiasm????? EA has talent!!! :cool: (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
April 23, 200619 yr I thought WC: Prophecy was a good return to the roots. 3 & 4 were a bit hard to watch, albeit mostly due to the cut scenes. Ultima Underworld was first person, and that ws some good stuff.

Get off his back. That's not what he's doing. He's boycotting for the sake of boycotting. I was never talking about buying the newest piece of crap. If EA releases an excellent game, then he should buy it. Because games would be a hell of a lot better than they are now. If you need a recent example of how actually being a bit discerning and exercising some self-restraint in your purchases can help the industry, just look at Ubisoft's recent decision to stop using StarForce in their games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This likely has just as much (if not more) to do with the complete cluster**** StarForce did by sharing a bittorrent of a game that did not have Starforce protection on their forums. That bit of news actually made print newspapers.
April 23, 200619 yr That thing destroyed my old processor. And hey, I liked WC:Prophecy...one of my favorites, actually. Though the acting was sorta not...good. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, definitely. StarForce destroying processors now. At least the damaging of burnable media devices has merit.

April 23, 200619 yr The lawsuits at around the same time didn't help, I guess. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
April 23, 200619 yr "Hades is smart for having convictions and trying to stand by them" The problem is that he doesn't stand by them. After NWN, he claimed he would never buy another BIO game. Guess what? That was balony as he went out and bought an x-box just to play JE. Heck, he bashes NWN non stop yet he's played the OC 3+ times. That's more times than me! LOLOLOLLIPOP He also claimed he'd never buy a Troika game after TOEE then went out and bought BL. The list goes on. Anyway, as far as the actual topic goes, EA is awesome. They make the best sports games ever (barring a few stinkersala the NBA franchise of the past few years and NHL 2006). As for this jab at a RPG, we shall see... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
April 23, 200619 yr The lawsuits at around the same time didn't help, I guess. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't really been following it. They got sued over this? Awesome
April 23, 200619 yr He also claimed he'd never buy a Troika game after TOEE then went out and bought BL. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually I said that I would buy Bloodlines when it hit the bargin bins which I did.

The final swan song for the great Troika. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
April 23, 200619 yr It's a shame the devs didn't stay on and fix it after the fact like that one dev on the Call of Cthulhu game.
