Volourn Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Desslock is a moron reviewer who think he knows what he does not know and arrogantly believes he's right. According to him NWN wasn't gonna be released at all, and it was BIO's deth kell. LMFAO What a moran. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Gromnir Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) desslock reviews is worth reading... usually. he has been reviewing games, with a particular focus on crpgs, for a long time; he gots perspective that some others lack. is frequent that we read inexplicable reviews and wonder if the author is motivated by fear rather than genuine concerns regarding games. we got no such fears regarding desslock. is not that we agree with desslock 100% (or even +80%,) but he is clearly honest in his opinions and criticisms. also, compared to the vast glut o' self-appointed experts who reviews games, desslock is articulate and intelligent. sadly, desslock does has some quirks that make his reviews somewhat suspect. am thinking he identifies too strong with some kinda archaic notion o' old skool, although we doubt he would admit it. am recalling his review o' iwd, and his complaints that black isle had the temerity to add new material (monsters, spells, and magic items) to the d&d rules included in interplay's dungeon crawl. adding custom stuff conflicted with desslock's notions o' proper d&d crpg development. ignore for a moment that virtual every Print d&d module released since the 1970's also added new monsters, spells, and magic items, the belief in a Proper method o' developing a d&d crpg so conflicts with Gromnir beliefs that we has difficulty placing much stock in desslock's reviews o' d&d crpgs... and any game for that matter. am a firm subscriber o' the belief that there is no Proper. the dogma o' Proper chills the potential for innovation. (aside: perhaps that is one reason that Gromnir and the codexians rare see eye-to-eye.) is any event, although desslock embraces a philosophy that is antithetical to Gromnir notions regarding game development, to call desslock a moron would be inaccurate and unfair. his reviews does contain insights and perspectives that is relative unique 'mongst the multitude o' hacks who call themselves game reviewers, and as he IS an old skool proponent, we suspect that his review would align nicely with the majority o' obsidian posters... an additional benefit, no? furthermore, while desslock is frequently wrong, he seems to be one o' the few reviewers who is willing to admit that he has been wrong.

Volourn Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 "desslock is articulate and intelligent." No, no he isn't. "to call desslock a moron would be inaccurate and unfair" To call Desslock a moron would be accurate and fair. Hes a tool, a retart, a moran, and he's a symbol of what is wrong with 'professional' and 'unprofessioanl' reviewers. A liar, scumbag, and a fool. I mean the guy likes ES games. He ain't that smart. he also side with Interplay over BIO over NWN.. and, was proven wrong as per usual. HAHHAHAHAHAS! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Guest Slinky Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Desslock ran over Volourn's dog. If that would be true, the dog most likely committed a suicide.

Orchomene Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 To just give my opinion about DRM. I have no personal issue with DRM since it does not impact me anymore (it used to at the begining as I did not have internet connection at home). But I don't really understand publishers since it's evident that DRM has no visible impact on piracy. It may impact second hand sales (but since only preorder and first month sales are important, second hand has little impact on the success), but cracking a game that has a copy protection, CD chack or online activation (even recuring validation) is done the first few days for a game that has a big market. All in all, I think the ones that suffer the most from DRM are publishers since they spend their money on a functionality that is not required (for a good reason) by legitimate customers and that does nothing for the piracy population with the exception of leting a pirate earning some consideration for having broken the protection. Of course piracy remains an imortant issue for publishers. But they should find another way to fight against it rather than DRM. In the end, I still don't know if I will buy DA2. Good thing there may be a demo, it will hopefully help me decide.
Niten_Ryu Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 DA2 has a blowjob scene Lawl? Good, good. Now bit more towards GTA San Andreas or The Witcher and I'll buy this game before Steam holiday sales. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
