Company News Bioware is fucked

[Mefi]

Just one thing just hit my head... EA + Bioware = Lotr RPG ?? As far as i know, Ea has the rights for LOTR movie trilogy based games, and to this time they only managed to do utterly shitty beat-em up with lame pseudo-rpg char development, and not so shitty, mediocre rts...IIRC The White project (or how it was called) went to ashes, which was meant to be an RPG with NPC behavior from The sims.
So Knights of The Middlearth ??

Think of the console versions of the BG world. That will be the thing.

"hahaha. This is a plain fanboy crap."

How is it 'plain fanboy crap' to prefer one BIo game to another. That's illogical. that be like me calling someone a Troika fanboy because they prefer TOEE over BL. Dumbass.

"
How can a twitch-based game with 3 stats, linear world and black-white dialogues be better (or "slightly less") than BG1/2 with dozens of stats and classes and a big world? ME looks to crush all of them? Doctor, anyone?"

Because it has more role-playing, more choices and consequences, better graphics, better music, combnat is just as fun, superior characters, better dialogue, less black and white dialogue, etc, etc.


You'd have to be an illogical delusional moron to disagree with these FACTS.

Hahaha - you're making my day
JE has role-playing... Wait... O RLY? Like "Oh bandits - I will kill them or I will kill this guy myself". Yes nice role-playing.
Choices & Consequences. Ahem. Where? WHERE?!
better graphics - uh huh.
better music - hmm. generic bioware music.
better dialogue? But of course! You can act good or bad - that's a fucking variety of choices there!
Combat is fun - ahem. I completed the game by clicking left-mouse-button to death. That's a fun combat for sure.
So the only "FACT" that I see is that someone has a high level of bioware-please-fuck-me hormones.

Wait, what? Are you saying BG has better (if at all) choices and consequences and better dialogue? Are you on crack?

There is C&C actually in BG2. In some quests (like with De'Arnise stronghold) as well as (mostly) in dialogues with companions. And yes - dialogues in BG2 are far better than black'n'white pseudo-philosophical matrix-crap of JE.

Skyway has amde an error. he makes up falsehoods, and prtends they are true. It's sadly emabrassing.

JE absolutely CRUSHES the BG series in terms of role-playing, dialogue choices, and writing.

Period.

C&C and dialogue choices are very, very, limited in BG2 - more so than either JE or NWN.

Just couldn't get into JE though, didn't like the setting and the whole rock-paper-scissors fighting bollocks. Combat in BG2 was way better, mostly due to all the cool mage strategies.

I prefer BG2's combat too.

That must explain why I actually like SP's NWN review in which he takes a part my favorite game. *shrug*
