Gromnir Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Kaftan manages to be bad troll and imbecile at the same time. That alone doesn't make him unique though, but he is also swedish well, to be fair, Gromnir got himself banned from bioware boards... and we not even have the swede excuse. seems that tolerance for us trollish imbeciles is much more limited nowadays. regardless, it always surprised Gromnir when folks honestly asserted that da were vapourware. a bio board devoted to and maintained by bio... and a half dozen bio developers answering queries and debating suggestions were not 'nuff to convince some pretty darn obtuse folks that they were wrong. makes you wonder why recent news changes some wacky personages pov.

Sand Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Oh, come on. The Infinity engine had boring combat, JE made fighting fun, if a little bit too easy. The story and characters were just as good(or bad). Sorry, but the BG series had one character that trumps ME and that is Boo. LONG LIVE BOO!

Sand Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Anyhoot, I have been thinking that it really doesn't matter what platform a game is on any more. If the game is fun, then that is what matters. Gabs, I think you are really missing out on Mass Effect. I really do. Mass Effect would only be better than the BG games if it was as long as BG2, with more planets to explore and a longer and more involved story line. Mass Effect is better than Jade Empire and Neverwinter Nights. No contest there.

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Im with you there, Sand. I prefer to play on my PC, but my 360 is nice to have so you can play ALL the good games. Ive started playing games I would never have trid on the PC like driving- or sportsgames and so on. And Mass Effect is really worth the price of getting a 360 to play it. The bad things are that you sort of need a HDTV, because consoles handle non-HDTV standards very poorly. And the games cost a fortune comparted to PC games.

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 me too, but alot of games cant handle monitor resolutions. I know Halo3 is aboslutely horrible, it looks like complete crap on my monitor, it cant even scale the ratio properly so instead it squeezes the picture horizontally. CoD4 is blurry, but ok. Mass Effect can crunch 1280x1024 with no problems whatsoever DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Sand Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) Sounds to me that you need a widescreen monitor. I set my resolution to 1280 x 720 and all the games I play on it, though mostly ME, looks just great. At that resolution it mimics 720i HD.

Morgoth Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 www.bioware.com That's lame, you can't even click on it. We want your information on the game not Bio's. There. Even directs you to the DA forums, Mrs. Tunichtgut! But yeah, I fail to see the pessimism around DA. Sure it got a very extended pre-production phase, but that's just necessary to create an RPG and the universe around it. This also leaves a lot room open for sequels. But everything I heard so far from it sounds very exciting. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I just think that Bioware announced Dragon Age a little prematurely. They should have announced it a little closer to release time than what they did.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I still don't know what to make of this game. Some people go crazy over it, or expect it to be the best medieval RPG ever... but I'm not seeing anything "extraordinary"... Maybe I'm just looking too much for a revolutinary concept or something that REALLY sounds fun (that might not have been announced yet), but I just don't see this game as being fresh in the generic and crowded Medieval RPG genre.

Archmonarch Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 From what I understand, a lot of information has been released about the game in the official forums which never made its way into the few press releases, interviews, or previews. I would guess the support stems from a combination of this and the undeniable (though not necessarily justified) force of the fanatical Bio fanbase. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dev who wants to make money is gonna claim their game sucks, or is just average. Why so extreme? Sure they won't go out and say "Dragon Age will suck. Do you trust us now?". But devs should generally keep the mouth shut about details and quality assumptions until it gets officially announced (including media storm). In that regard, Bio have done their homework right. Compare that to many other dev houses that announce a game 2 years in advance, then claim "It will have a revolutionary XYZ"... and when it hit's the shelves, only 20% of all claims made it into the package. Oh yes, this still happens even today, sir. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
