Am I naive to think AP will succeed?

[Andyman Messiah]

That was a weak rant, doozer. I tried reading your whole post but stopped somewhere in the middle due its predictability and banality.

Which, amazingly enough, was pretty much the point I was trying to rub down your panties. Go rub Häagen-Dazs on your ass, boy.

The issue here was the departure from a profitable and highly successful franchise and not whatever elements Bioware recycle in their games. It is commendable that Bioware didn't sit on the success of BG but risked developing new properties and spending time and resources on building new engines when all they could do was milking BG. Whether they were good or not or these properties were interesting is irrelevant here. But I guess you couldn't miss this opportunity for a straw man bashing.

Of course not.

FACT: Andyman Messiah - Straw Man Bashing Is His Life! (Also: Capital Letters!)

Bioware is a company who puts out the exact same fucking game over and over again. They do NOT take risks. They know what their fans want and have given them exactly that since they started. The fact that you're <s>so dumb</s> so naive that you believe making graphical improvements is anywhere near the concept of "risk taking" makes me cum with enragement. Watch out, little man. I know where you live. I think.

...and brought to you by Obsidian Entertainment.

Obsidian has since they started given us two Bioware sequels; KOTOR2 and NWN2. Both games were far better than the originals, and both sold well enough to allow the studio to remain. Sure, it would have been great if they could have skipped those games (even though I actually like them) and just started with Mask of the Betrayer, but then they most likely wouldn't have been around now. Appealing to the mainstream and a well-established franchise is smart business thinking and I don't blame, bitch and moan about it.

After KOTOR2 and NWN2 they followed up with Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir, both games are hardly "Bioware"-class. If anything, they are solid Black Isle-class that does not follow the same old contrived rpg formula. You want to talk about risk taking? Any game that the Bioware fans find complicated is a risk in my book.

Retarded dialogue system locks AP as the worst Obsidian game, until proven otherwise. However, the mainstream has a tendency to swallow shit, as long as it's wrapped in a shiny package, so as long as they keep talking about "revolutionary dialogue stance system" and "bullet storm" ad nauseum, they might achieve a huge commercial success.

To have a productive conversation takes making an effort to at least understand what the other side means when they criticise, and then respond thoughtfully not expending full effort to distort and misunderstand what that person is saying.

Watch out, little man. I know where you live. I think.

Just make sure you clean yourself up from the stains on your face by sucking on Obsidian's cock, donkeyboy. I'd hate to use my dick as a towel rubbing semen off your fugly mug.

Maybe the BS coming out of your mouth is from licking on things you should not be.

Take your uncalled personal opinion and taste and together with your pomposity shove it up your world's origin.

...

when does it come out ? if there isnt much competition at the time, i can see it doing well on consoles, most likely bad/mediocre on PC. if there are some other "next-gen" games comming out switch that to bad/mediocre on all platforms.

and after SoZ i d gladly take Mass-Effect-not-in-space. Rather the obsidian typical bioware-clone with better writing/CnC in tradeoff for worse combat .... than another "obsidian leaving out what they do best for focusing on what they do worst"- game.

Early Q4. Depending on how early exactly they mean by Q4, it could be a good time. if it's in the 1/4 of Q4 it can shine it's brightest.

How dare you assume I want to build lego with your mother, you disgusting little freak?!

 

[The Feral Kid]

Only after you.

I suppose you're in line with the rest of the labels then.

engerlish are not the very gud

I know. It shows in every dumb post you make. One of your least celebrated deficiencies due to all others being far more overwhelming.

 

[Andhaira]

Wonder why they didn't allow female avatars in AP though. Probably because there will be a lovve interest with haWt sAx sceneZ.

i thought it was just because the main character (as far as how he looks and all that) is completely pre-made, a la PST (or what i've heard about PST, which i still havent been able to play yet )

 

[The Feral Kid]

Fecal kid, I'm done with you.

Ok. You can stand up on your feet again. Don't forget to clean up the floor and put the trash out.

 

[It Is All A Lies]

hey now, treat your mother right. an insult to one mother is an insult to mothers everywhere.

 

[Fat Dragon]

Aww, they're all trying to hurt each other's feelings.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I don't know why Oblivion sold so well, so Bethesda's popularity is a mystery to me.

First person + next gen graphics? Frankly, i can't really think of anything else.

 

[Pastel]

The fuck is this shit? It's a goddamn spy game, and still they don't have the balls to make the player stay away from enemy fire.

 

[Fat Dragon]

One of the most retarded screenshots I ever saw, why's he jumping right into that guy's line of fire? Very kind of him to give the guard a point-blank range shot.

 

[SerratedBiz]

and put the trash out.

your mother and sister?

Argh, I hate bitch fights. Name-calling, scratching and biting galore. STFU both of you.

The fuck is this shit? It's a goddamn spy game, and still they don't have the balls to make the player stay away from enemy fire.

Meh, if you say spy game in an RPG nowadays, I'm thinking setting, not spy-like realistic game mechanics. It's not gonna be Thief.

COD4 was very popular.

This will be even more XTREME.

Because he won't hit him anyway

 

[sportforredneck]

I'm excited for AP, so sue me. It looks to be one of the few interesting RPGs coming up.

Nonsense! He's wearing shoulder pads - the highest form of defense known to man. The guard never had a chance.

I thought it got pushed back to the summer. I'm afraid that it will get lost in the shuffle if it gets a Holiday release.

The real question is: "Why isn't he shooting while he's in midair?" He ain't got nothing on Max Payne. I can tell you that much right now.

 

[Volourn]

"So you see, Bioware takes absolutely no risks. We've been getting the same game for years now, compared to Obs who actually mix it up every once in a while."

You are an idiot. BIos' agems and their stories are different from one another. They have SIMILARITIES; but they are different. Breaking down pretty much any story to its core element will get sounding similar to others. Idiot.

 

[Talonfire]

All of this mud slinging is making me degenerate into a mindless retard.

 

[Volourn]

CF is being a tool. Why is this happening?

 

[JarlFrank]

CF is right. Tell me one occasion where Bioware did something risky. Risky as in making a game that is *different* from their other games. They're all really similar, and the basic story structure is the same in each of them. You also got recycling of characters.
