But meatspin is like old and stuff. If you check something like meatspin then you might as well check lemonparty, tubgirl, goatse and 2girls1cup.

I didn't know of lemonparty before your post. Thank you, sir. Your information has expanded my knowledge.

You didnt just google that did you?

nope, i was tarded enough to just type the danged thing into my url bar. ugh. i should learn not to do that, particularly when such a link comes from the likes of this board's denizens.

 

back to DA, regardless of what everyone thinks about bio's marketing scheme, it has succeeded in its ultimate purpose: people are talking about how bio is marketing DA, and as a result, they're talking about DA. even ve3d slammed bio for their tactic, but the slam is still an advert.

you mean the forums running on fumes for the past 4 years?

 

strictly speaking, though, i guess 4 years isn't 'endless'.

 

it only feels that way.

Yes, the forums have been up for 4 years. But they were pretty honest about the game not being fast tracked until the last year. Developing their own setting and rule set as opposed to using an established one would take additional time as well. And if they wanted community input (which to be fair, they've taken fairly seriously) I can't see them garnering much interest if they said; "To be named unannounced game forum." It's not like they really started marketing anything for it until this week. Maybe you find that excessive time to talk about a pre-released, low-priority game. I can understand that. But I don't think it classified as "hype." Really, until the past 6 mos, no one was working on this except Gaider and a couple acolytes. And if his name wasn't attached to it, would anyone care?

Vaporware. >_<

I don't see how the term vaporware applies at all. It was never put on the front burner until recently. How in the world can it be vaporware when they haven't made 'any' promises about a release date?

 

By definition, vaporware has to be expected to be released, and not arrive. DA has not been given an official release date (or even an expectation from a developer in jello); not once.

 

This is hardly Duke Nukm Forever stuff.

I think the major screwup was announcing and showing a few things in 2004. Kidna like Duke Nukem Forever, but a lot less daramatic.

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

First exclusive footage of Dragon Age is going to show up on GTTV on SpikeTV right now, apparently. I guess it'll show up on the Gametrailers website tomorrow.

Long time since I've seen hair and faces that bad. Four years in the making..?

To be fair, the guy on the right does look like he's got indigestion or something.

 

Although that image isn't representative of the trailer, is it?

The character to the right looks like he's just fresh from a black metal photo-shoot.

You know, I expect bad character graphics in RPGs these days. NWN2's character graphics are still dreadful, IMHO. Oblivion's did little for me without significant modding. And this is no better than either of the others.

 

ALL developers seem to be on this giant "realism" kick in fantasy RPGs these days. Don't let anyone look too good. And absolutely don't make anything too stylized. The end result is everything looks DRAB. That was NWN2's problem. Oblivion's NPCs uniformly were revolting, and it seems DA is going right into the same dredged mess.

 

Can someone PLEASE wake up and realize that if I wanted to see ugly all the time I could just go look in a mirror? It's NICE to have an avatar that looks decent if I want to. Especially in a FANTASTICAL setting, even dark fantasy.

^ Indeed, 'realistic' character models are a bit bland nowadays. I don't mind stylized, even slightly cartoony.
