BioWare rush DA2; blame release date for bad sales.

[Admiral jimbob]

Was that an admittance that DA2 is shit?

 

[Ruprekt]

Christians,

why do you buy shit games?

 

[Karmapowered]

Who is this David Gaider, and why should I care about people that can't be bothered to admit when they produce shit ?

 

[King Crispy]

Gaider owes me $50 and my sanity back.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

He died for ruining our games

 

[Smiffy]

Was that an admittance that DA2 is shit?

Yes! Yes, it was! There is still hope!

Edit: God, I hate being cynical. I actually think it was quite nice of him to say that. So.

 

[CappenVarra]

Yes, if DA2 has any sales, customer satisfaction or market perception issues, they're caused by: 4chan trolls, codex trolls, that new chair with the fucked-up right arm rest (so it's hard to concentrate on quality writing while sitting in it), the false son of a false god being born 3 months too early to boost game sales, a stray neutrino passing through the bank's computers and mysteriously removing about $ 10 million of well-deserved revenue, game release falling on the unluckiest day of the Mayan calendar, Caesar getting murdered on the Ides of March (just in time to steal major media attention from the DA2 release), etc. Pretty much, anything except the game being banal shit boring and not worth giving money to untalented hacks for. Ahem.

 

[ElectricOtter]

That and the fact Origins also sold awesomely because it was a awesome game.

Wow. I don't even know what to say. :/

 

[Excidium]

That can only mean they're about to announce DAIII.

 

[racofer]

10 more years in development plus a release date right before Christmas wouldn't have made DA2 any better.

do you not see his title in his sig? how fucking hilarious. i can't tell whether he does that out of pride or insecurity.

Well with how the Bioware staff tend to talk to people on their forums, I'm guessing someone said something like, "What the hell's your deal? Like really, who do you think you are?" and then he was all, "I'M THE LEAD WRITER, YOU LITTLE BITCH!" and a new sig was born.

What is there not to like when some people here go GUNG-HO on their fellow Kodexers, taking them for perfect crétins.

Try reading the second part of my phrase again. From there, wouldn't it make perfect sense that I knew how a lead writer contributes to the *production* of a game, and who the lead writer for this particular game was ?

I know, reading skills extraordinaire are required to detect sarcasm on the Kodex

Anyway, it's the same infamous Mr G. that will explain, in all seriousness, that jumping and horse riding don't add anything to a cRPG, which is why we might get ladder climbing as a revolutionary feature in Mass Effect III.

If the former BW forums hadn't been destroyed, and replaced by the current monstruosity, I would dig out a couple of links for shits and giggles.

 

[Smiffy]

Actually he does admit that DA2 is shit, or at least suggests it.

That and the fact that Origins also sold awesomely because it was an awesome game.

So for one it's Christmas' fault. In addition though it is because DA2 is not at all "awesome", as implied by the asterixed "also". Gaider might be the biggest prick in the history of CRPGs but that is a nice gesture I think.

 

[Coyote]

Is Gaider suggesting that DA2 sold poorly? In b4 Volourn.

Christians,

why do you buy shit games?

Why suck his dick cause he finally admits that he has partaken in the production of a turd, and even this admission is as weasely and obtuse as could be? Here he was for a year talking about how fucking great DA2 is and how it would redefine the very concept of the RPG(probably) all to convince as many f the plebs to fork over their money for this and now when belatedly he suggests that the game is shit, he should be fucking praised for it?

You've got to be fucking kidding me!

I remember when they called it their best game, better than BG2. Seeing how the game turned out, I can't believe they had the nerve to make that statement.

 

[Malakal]

Cant wait for them to finally admit it was and is shit. But not likely to happen so this is the next best thing.

 

[Hythloday]

Gaider's a troll.

He wont admit anything was wrong with DA2 until the release of DA3.

 

[Befuddled Halfling]

So how you read his sentence:

1) Another reason Origins sold awesomely was because it was awesome, whereas DA2 was not awesome
2) Origins and DA2 both sold awesomely, but only one actually sold awesomely because it was awesome
3) Origins and DA2 both sold awesomely, because both were awesome games
4) Gaider is a pedophile

 

[Joghurt]

lol @ man giraffedog000 spamming biotard DA2 forum

 

[Manticore]

Damn what an asshole gaider is.

 

[Angthoron]

When corporations and "artists" merge, you get douchebags and shit.

1) Another reason Origins sold awesomely was because it was awesome, whereas DA2 was not awesome
2) Origins and DA2 both sold awesomely, but only one actually sold awesomely because it was awesome

4) Gaider is a pedophile

I have to go with the first interpretation, because DA2 is clearly not selling awesomely.
