Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I agree with Volourn. Also I would have to say RPGCodex and its affiliates wuld be the last place I would go. If you don't agree with them and their ways they spam you with insults and gay porn.
Crusader Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 they will actually do that? that would suck.......................(hmmm a email war is in order)
Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 It is the primary reaason why I won't go over there or even consider them as a reliable source of information. If you can help it, avoid RPGCOdex.
Megatron Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I agree with Volourn. Also I would have to say RPGCodex and its affiliates wuld be the last place I would go. If you don't agree with them and their ways they spam you with insults and gay porn. RPGCodex doesn't. If you post your opinions, just expect to stand by them and back them up. DAC...don't even bother. Not sure about NMA. Seems pretty friendly. Don't you post there crusader? >*
Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Yes, Megatron, they do that. They will insult you, spam you, send you gay porn, and so forth and so on. That is my experience over at RPGCodex and I will have nothing to do with them or their affiliates. They are the Fallout Taliban and they fit that role quite well.
Crusader Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 i dont post there... but i go to rpgcodex for some stuff.....like reading worst game reviews for humor
Arkan Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Can't really comment of DAC or Codex...I just had experience (quite a bit actually) with NMA. Of course, that was a LONG time ago, and they fell out of favor with me when they began banning for certain suggestions...close-minded fools. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Megatron Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 They don't. Unless you were being a complete **** and writing posts with just a few words, I doubt they'd do all that. People always seem to complain about lack of freedom of speech on rpgcodex, but basically you just get pwned too much. Volourn is a good example of someone who, according to you, shouldn't get along well on the codex, but somehow does. Arkan: I'm not sure what site you're talking about Arkan. NMA is very friendly and open-minded. Any forums that have discussions about gun-control that haven't been locked after a few pages doesn't seem close-minded to me. I did a little search, seems like they were being HORRIBLE to you. http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic...ighlight=#30947 >*
Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Actually I gave decently varied amount of postings there in length, but in the end it just wasn't worth the time and energy to As I said the constant barrage of insults, spam, and gay porn kind of turn one off of such a forum. I wouldn't recommend that place to anyone. Also pwned isn't a word and with such debates I held my own till they decided to throw in personal attacks and ruin the whole point of debating. Nothing you can say will change my views on RPGCodex. Insults, Spam, and Gay Porn. Thats all they are about.
Megatron Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Perhaps it's all you're about? You get what you give and stuff. They wouldn't send gay porn though. Do you have any proof, you horrible little man? >*
Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Got sent to me through PM on their forums. I deleted the first batch immediately. If there is any it would be there. I don't go there anymore so Saint P. might have deleted my account for inactive use. If they stopped being the Fallout Taliban maybe we could have gotten along.
Megatron Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Perhaps if you'd have stopped being the Interplay...Reich? and not flame-baited everyone you would have gotten along ^-^ >*
Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I harp on **** as much as the next guy, Megatron. I don't even consider them as a viable publisher/developer any more. I simply voiced my opinions, they voice their opinions and the insults. Even though my opinions weren't popular I did try to be as civil as possible over there. At the end of the day, they just weren't worth the effort. They were too obsessed with Fallout and Tim Caine can do no wrong to be worth talking to.
Megatron Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 What about Volourn then. He's the guy who goes against nearly every opinion there yet he manages to gain some people's respect. I wouldn't mind if you didn't like the codex for reasons that were true, otherwise you're making it seem like the codex is a terrible spooky place or something. Perhaps you could just say you don't like it because you don't like the people there or something lewlwl >*
pulp Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 For all those of you who thinks Star Wars KOTOR2 will be good think again because all of the past games that black isle have worked on in the past were mostly overrated and were not as fun as people thought they were.Wow, thanks for telling me what I think. But this is just conjecture and if you have any arguments to present to show that Obsidian will make Star Wars KOTOR2 live up to the premise of Bioware's KOTOR I would like to hear your arguments and discussion Quite a ridiculous request - if you don't mind me saying - since: 1. no one knows what Obsidian's next game is, if it even is KOTOR 2. 2. all speculation on whether it'll be good is as pointless as mould on bread, since - and get this - we don't know what they are working on.
Volourn Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 What gay porn? Huh? RPGCodex has never done that to me. Insults yes, wishes for me to die yes ; but no gay porn. However, I get isnults and death threats on almost every Internet geek Message Board so it isn't really new. Megatron: Respect? Ha. Is that what they call it nowadays? Maybe, just maybe, a very small handful of the Codex's posters respect me; but I must stress they are in the very small minority. Codex don't really care for any dissenting opinion. Just check out the flame wars when of their own stated he liked KOTOR a lot. It was civil war! (Well.. not quite); but it sure wasn't pretty. Hades: Don't take it so personally. It's an internet Geek Message Board just like this one. It's just not important enough to worry about. It's all fun and games until volourn shows up. :D All one has to do to find out hy I post thee is read P's signature as that explains my position on the Codex quite clearly. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Well, I don't know about Volourn's experiences with the Codex and I am just going by my own experiences at that place. Believe me or not, I don't really care but I wouldn't suggest to anyone to go to that site. Not at all.
mkreku Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Hmm.. I usually post at RPGDot, Eidos boards and the place in my signature (swedish) and I was quite happy to find this new Obsidian board. But it seems this place is doomed already, and it hasn't even been open a whole week yet. Already lots of morons, lots of name calling, lots of huge, ugly signatures.. And apparently lots of people from other boards who think they're "well known" and important. The world is way too small sometimes. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Shneider Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 First off, was Knights of the Old Republic 2 announced at some point? Until I see anything other than supposition I will reserve judgement on whatever Obsidian has in the works. Also Visceris, on what grounds can you make such a sweeping statement as "All the games Black Isle has produced in the past have been overrated..." You are entitled to your opinion, but to automatically dismiss those of people who have enjoyed BI titles such as Planescape Torment, the Baldur's Gate Saga et al is a touch hypocritical, wouldn't you agree? On that note, let Obsidian produce a track record and then make judgements from that; then your views might have more integrity to them.
Megatron Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 The world is way too small sometimes. I just like to think that the internet became too mainstream and therefore sucked. There's some good places, but there few and far between (kekeke) This place isn't too bad. I doubt it'll be intresting/funny/insightful, but it should be good for a while until everybody talks about the good ol' days again and starts there own little groups, waiting for the next forum to open. Perhaps they just didn't like you Hades. It'd be understandable LOL >*

On that note, let Obsidian produce a track record and then make judgements from that; then your views might have more integrity to them. That isn't the real Visceris, for your information. Frankly I loved all the old BIS games and still play them on a regular basis. Fallout, Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, and Icewind Dale 2. I like them all.
Morgoth Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Well but the BG-series are Bio's babies! Rain makes everything better.
Judge Hades Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 BG belong both to BIS and Bioware, just like Lionheart belongs to both Reflexive and Black Isle.
Volourn Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 No. It belongs to BIO. theyd eveloped it. Just like Obsidian's game will most likely belong to them even if BIO *helps* them. btw, I'm not spekaing legally as obviously legally Interplay owns the Bgs eries.

Shadowstrider Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 They don't. Unless you were being a complete **** and writing posts with just a few words, I doubt they'd do all that. People always seem to complain about lack of freedom of speech on rpgcodex, but basically you just get pwned too much. Volourn is a good example of someone who, according to you, shouldn't get along well on the codex, but somehow does. Megatron, you're either lying, or blind to the truth. My posts are considered verbose by most, and in my 30 some posts on the codex, I've been insulted 30 some times. Exitium called me "pretty dumb" and someone named Otaku accused me of being Herve Caen's secret lover. I've never been "owned" there. Quite to the contrary, rather then them posting any form of intelligible rebuttle, they call me gay. There are a few exceptions, but they are few.
