But can you have buttseks with your mates? Can you rape villagers? Is there a cold bitch nearby who protest every your decision? If no, IT'S NOT A RPG.

Oh :<

Entirely different "middles" we're talking about here. You might as well point out that Hearts of Iron has a lot more approaches to - say - conquering Poland than Alpha Protocol does for its side quests.

I'm talking about different middles not an open world approach. There are different missions you get assigned to you depending on your choices in previous ones + depending on which side you choose in the war. Of course in AA2 it all probably has more bugs than any Obsidian game as well.

"I once compared his first post opinion about BG2 to another post he made a few months ago. And what was the result : he changed his opinion incredibly. "

Bullshit.

BG2 is still one of my favorite games ever. Just ebcause I believe DA is a better RPG, and am sick and tired of bullshit still spewing about BG2 like it's still current or it matter anymore doesn't mean my opinion9s) on the game has fundamentlaly changed.

So stop the bullshits, and start the truths.

P.S. Quoting out of context is lame, fyi.

Everything looks great except for that superman shit in this vid. He is targeting one guy while getting shot by another. At least make him a super soldier so its believable.

I agree that Volorun is pretty constant in his beliefs, no matter what you actually think of his opinions.

Unlike Skyway, who has proven to be one of the biggest flip-flopers ever with his retarded list.

Roofles!

 

[MetalCraze]

I've never flip flopped a single time during my whole time on the Codex durr hurr

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Give it up skyway. You have been revealed as the flip flop faggot that you are. Your constant ramblings have lost all crediblity. You're a fucking troll.

12/1/2008:

MotB also moved from the extremely boring Sword Coast and showed that DnD games aren't always about stupid elves and cliche dwarves.

You must play MotB if you haven't done so yet. I was surprised that the game was pretty long and consistent for something that was only a bit more than a year in development.

If you don't/won't like MotB then you probably don't like good RPGs in general.

This generalization is correct.

7/17/2009:

MotB is pretty much mediocre - combat is awful, character development is atrocious because of retarded epic levels, crafting system is primitive and boring. But it has good writing and some non-linear quests.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

What a fucking moron.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

To be fair, he still liked the writing, which was what he praised a year before ("long and consistent"). But he started hating the mechanics stuff he din't care much about a year before.

 

[Silellak]

I was more amused at how his opinion of MotB went from "must play" and "if you don't like MotB then you don't like good RPGs in general" to "pretty mediocre".

Does that mean MotB is a pretty mediocre, yet "must play" game that serves as a litmus test for whether or not someone likes "good RPGs"? How does that even work? I'm pretty sure I'd never tell someone a game was mediocre but they had to play it anyway.

"This game is pretty mediocre, but you have to play it, and if you don't like it, then you probably don't like good RPGs in general."

Oh fuckin' snap. metalcraze got SKOOLED again!

In one of my first posts about MotB I wrote than when compared to RPGs of early 2000s it will be mediocre so try harder. And yes I was willing to close my eyes on MotB combat at the time (and I always bashed epic levels) due to story and certain good mechanics like spirit-meter and the exploration where everything was open to you yet it had "too hard go back later" thing going for it, but after SoZ I got tired of shitty combat. I'd still recommend MotB.

Recommending mediocre games, now? Why Skyway, I think you might be part of the problem!

Last time I've checked mediocre doesn't mean shit.

Actually there's nothing to see here. Except for some silly animations.

What's wrong with oldschool Third-person action games like the first Tomb Raider and FPSes like Duke Nukem and Unreal that don't cling to pseudo-realism?

I can't stand the shitty gameplay in these OTS action games with cover systems.

It doesn't work well with character development and RPG stuff. Whats the point in developing your skills when you can just stand in the open taking bullets while you steady your aim for your 20th kill in two minutes?

Damage threshold like in VTMB and System Shock 2, aiming reticles like in Deus Ex and Rainbow Six games, for example. They are infinitely better approaches to create a good in-between player and character skills than this shit made for interfaces that suck too much in control accuracy for a real shooter.

It doesnt matter if its made for a console. Thats a BS excuse. Most of the popular console shooters have low damage thresholds and this game already has a stat based reticle.

I wonder what's the ritual to summon skyway

Duh, that's easy:

STALKER.
STALKER!
STALKER!!!
