"What I meant by my earlier comment was that,
afaik, wasn't planned any extra content for say
Mass Effect, Episode 1. (but this could of course, change)."
Actually, they are planninge xactly that. they've been planning that since ME was announced, and this article clarifies even more. What bullshit are ya spewing?
"bioware is a company which relies heavily on, shall we say, the community."
No more than any other developer.
"Troika themselves have said that they did make some mild profits and still went out of business due to shitty contractual moves."
Troika said a lot fo thinsg that ultimately proved to be BS hence why publisher sno longer wnated to work for them. Not to mention that any 'profit' they made was likely neglible. If they actually made real profit, publishers would have been bashing down their door to gie them money to make more 'profitable' games. R00fles!
"A game called Baldur's Gate 3 would have been a bestseller regardless of gameplay's quality."
Not all sequels to popular products (games, movies, or otherwise) do as well as the original. Mnay do worse, few do better. Ther eis no GUARNATEE that BG3 would have sold as much as the earlier BGs though it is highly possible.
"Jade Empire was a console game with a lot of action."
JE had less combat per hour of play than any other BIO game.
" Mass Effect is a console trilogy (for fuck's sake) that's mostly about action."
Bullshit. ME is a role-playing a game first; action game second. This is a FACT.
"KOTOR was designed for consoles (just look at the interface)."
KOTOR was designed for both xbox and PC. THAT'S a FACT.
"What do *you* think, Volly?"
I think you are full of shit. Products for both PC, and console are for money. You telling me that BG, NWN, TOEE, and many other PC games weren't for money? Are you that daft?
"Don't you think that you are overdoing the insults part?"
Nah. Maybe underdoing it espicially considering all the name calling that comes my way. Do what I do - deal with it. Don't start crying crocodile tears because someone called you a mean name. Geez.. I thought this was the Codex? Not Pussyville Deluxe.
"thought I explained it many times already. As funny as that sounds, I'm a game reviewer here. I review games and talk about games. Since Bethesda forgot to send the Codex a press-copy, I had to buy it to see what kind of game they made. It would have been *really* stupid if after all the criticism I refused to buy the game to see how it actually turned out."
Excuses, excuses. Bithcing about agame then buying and then bitching some more is stupid. You aren't any more a reviewer than shitcan man (me) or foofoo fagget outside of the fact you have a silly website to spout your silliy opinions 'officially'. R00fles!
I find it REALLY stupid that after the criticism that you went oput and spent money on a game you 'knew' was gonna suck.
That's just plain dumb.
