Will This Game Suck?


Recommended Posts

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.

Where the heck do you come up with this nonsense? We've never spammed anyone with insults nor gay porn. Especially not gay porn. Stop the lying, Hades. It's bad enough that you troll 24/7 - and now you make stuff up?

 

You are making stuff up.

 

Period.

Maybe he's referring to that fracas a few weeks ago over at Duck And Cover. Lots of the same people so easy to confuse the two sites.

BG belong both to BIS and Bioware, just like Lionheart belongs to both Reflexive and Black Isle.

At what point were Baldur's Gate or Lionheart co-developed by Black Isle Studios? Your claim is about as baseless as saying that Black Isle Studios had a hand in developing FOBOS.

Financing and publishing does not equal actual 'development' in the literal sense of the word.

Damien Foletto, J.E. Sawyer and Chris Avellone are all credited as Designers assisting with Lionheart. My guess is that they provided some technical assistance like the implementation of SPECIAL. BIS was also of course the publisher which means that in addition to what Visceris said they also managed getting the voice overs, music, testing and other aspects. I think Feargus had a post over at Interplay's forums awhile back at what the breakdown is between developer and publisher. Not to slight that BioWare did most of the work, the publisher is very involved as well.

 

It'd be more baseless to say that Black Isle had a hand in developing FOBOS because Black Isle wasn't even remotely involved, development or producing, with that one. They claimed that they contacted BIS when they were developing the game but several former people from BIS said they had no hand in the game and weren't contacted (it was most likely just management).

So am I.

Thats probably due to the website support you did prior the game was released. You are getting recognized for your work. Would you prefer that you weren't?

You're not getting it.

 

I'm credited not once, but twice in the game. I was credited along with Saint Proverbius and Ausir for our work on the websites in the "Special Thanks", that is true.

 

However, I am also credited as actual game development support in the same vein as Chris Avellone and J.E. Sawyer.

The facts. Period.

On MobyGames (http://www.mobygames.com/game/credits/p,3/gameId,8635) shows. BIS employees are credited here:

 

Special Design and Testing Thanks Chris Avellone, Damien Foletto, J.E. Sawyer

 

And here:

 

Contributing Designers Aaron Brown, Chad Nicholas, Jason G. Suinn

 

That's interesting that you and SP are credited.

Indeed, it would certainly be a fine addition to any resume regardless of Lionheart's failure.

 

Visceris:

However, I'm not done with the previous topic. As you previously mentioned, someone on our forum (you accused Spazmo) 'spammed' you with 'gay porn'. These allegations are ones I would consider to be very serious, especially since you choose to slander the RPG Codex as an institution, which not only encourages these vile acts but also perpetrates it. I consider this to be very libellous and would like for you to present at least some shred of evidence to back up your allegations against us.

 

I just don't think that your 'word' alone is worth much value considering the fact that you are 'unwelcome' at the popular Mistress' Lair forums for past transgressions towards its members, not to mention your not-so-recent string of arguments with J.E. Sawyer which you lost, not only made you look bad but also made you look rather foolish when you decided to insult Sawyer outright for his design decisions - highly uncalled for.

 

I would also like to bring up the recent incident on the IPLY forum in Sean Reynolds's thread. It is the thread in which you decided to (tactlessly) flame the developer in question without making a single coherent point whatsoever. As I recall, you were banned for the very reason of SPAMMING the thread with pointless insults.

 

It's time for you to face the facts.

 

Period.
