rjshae Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 they dont try to anger the customer base, they just dont care about it's opinion since the hype train will demolish all voices of reason in its path and money will be made even with a crappy product. 83.7% of the game opinions I read on the forums are bilge. Narrow-minded grumbles about the most trivially inane details. I'm surprised when the developers even pay any attention to it. If they tried to satisfy the majority of the grumbling, they'd end up with an even cr*pier product. I find I actually enjoy a game more when I pay no attention to the niggling whines. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
teknoman2 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 these is a difference between catering to every whining beach (take that censoring) and making a lazy-copy-paste-sequel-releashed unfinished-without QA and sell it as the "best game ever" ... and when everyone goes and buys it only to be disapointed, the publisher says "who cares, we got their money" The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.

mkreku Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 So weird. I wonder if Obsidian had anything to do with it? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Rosbjerg Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 People really love this game. Its one of those kinda games that gets better the older you get. Most of those gamers probably played it in their late teens and having replayed it over the years have discovered how different the game is, depending on your own maturity.. Much like Planescape. Fortune favors the bald.

Blodhemn Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I didn't think either KOTOR game aged well. The sequel just slightly better than it's predecessor, but neither are great to play these days.
Zoraptor Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 The dialogue of K2 holds up well, as does the unique* perspective to Star Wars albeit both are now formally non canon. The gameplay (in both, really) always was pretty meh, combat is pretty boring 90% of the time and you get massively overpowered quite quickly especially with K2's big levelling increase, the graphics are... well, early/ mid noughties and not very advanced even for then. Still worth playing for the story and dialogue, was never really worth playing for anything else. *OK it's not actually unique, but a more accurate usage than most.

Keyrock Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Former BioWare devs KnightMayor announce their first game entitled Mooncrest. Mooncrest is a single-player, story-based fantasy RPG, with a focus on real-time tactical combat, cinematic conversations, and challenging puzzles. KnightMayor’s premiere title features: A Story of Sisterhood: An immersive story of fellowship where the interactions with your wayward companion propel you on an adventure of intrigue. “Souls-style” Combat: Engage in tactical, real-time combat where your wits will matter as much as your reflexes. Challenging Puzzle Solving: Tease your brain with intuitive puzzles that favor logic and reward your cleverness. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Keyrock Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Well, they are former BioWare devs, so a ham-fisted tripe of a story is a definite possibility. That said, I'll reserve judgement until we hear/see more. Who knows, it could be good. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Amentep Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 The Mooncrest story apparently follows Sera a newly minted Paladin of Mooncrest who meets Pirotase and together they uncover a conspiracy. All of the relationship/dialogue pieces is then between these two set characters rather than the Bio-way of multiple companions to make a party from. I'm guessing that's where the "A story of sisterhood" bit comes from. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Bartimaeus Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 That sounds like it could at least be a little promising. I'm rather pessimistic when it comes to games lately, so I probably won't end up playing it anyways unless I hear really great things, but it could happen. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

We don't what's in the game. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.
