Interview Codex Interview with MCA

[Volourn]

On par? That's bullshit. BL's writing (outside of some juvenile stuff) was by far SUPERIOR to PST's writing.

 

[Lord Chambers]

FUCKING CHRIST, can you asshats stop using abbreviations for one post? Who the hell is MCA? Chris A. the object of the interview? Why the M?

And what the fuck is BL?

Believe it or not, it wouldn't kill anyone or take an inordinate amount of time to spell out half of the abbreviations they use. PlaneScape: Torment takes about as long to type as PST and if anything, is a quicker read for anyone who doesn't live here.

Anyway, gj VD for the iview. I thought the insight MCA gave about PST and KOTOR2 was great, from the definition of an RPG to his experiences developing NR in FO2. A good iview is always a good to spark debate about classics like FO FO2 or FO3 PSTand A and all sorts of games from BI like BG and BG2. GN and GL, sweet dreams MSFD.

 

[Jason]

"On par" sounds about right to me. BL had some juvenile parts and PST had some overdone, over-angsty parts. Both were amazing, regardless.

Good interview.

edit: STFU Lord Chambers.

 

[Volourn]

"iview"

Yet you complain about our short forms.

Besides, anyone whod oesn't know what PSt or BL stands for is a FAKE role-player and is garbage as far as I'm concerned.

Eat on that!!!

 

[LlamaGod]

THAT SHIT IS WACK

 

[spacemoose]

More progress quest number-raising? Dialogue not expressive enough?

Who is holding the gun to MCA's head and forcing him to say these things?

 

[dongle]

We need some forum avatars made out of those drawings please. :D

Fun interview, thanks for providing it.

 

[Killzig]

I'm glad he associates me with balls.


//or did he mean "nuts" ...

 

[Vultok]

why the fuck is there this stupid axis in people's heads?


dialogue<------------------------>immersion

Those stupid dialogue movies in kotor2 pissed me off. I can read faster than your actors can talk, your dialogue wasn't interesting, and it wasn't fucking immersive.

I like reading (omg! lolzzz!!!). I'm tired of your shitty psuedo immersion nonsense you all spout off at the least opportunity.

ps. I like real manuals too.

Perhaps you sould realize he is not the messias and what we are getting from him will be nothing morethat "KotOR2", a game that likely was not put under the same heat that Oblivion gets because "ex-Black Isle and MCA worked on it".

Bah,it just remind me to delete the OE link in my favorits.

 

[FrancoTAU]

Good interview, not great. I dug the Dave Gaider one more since he seemed more informative rather than funny. Chris was funny, but i'd prefer straight answers to some of those questions. I understand the vagueness about future endeavors but the other stuff... eh...

And what the hell is wrong with Volourn? He almost sounds like a real person in this thread

Dialogue + Console Dev = Bad, since people play from their couches and can't read all the text on the screen from 10 feet away.

Animation/Body Language + Consoles = Good. I think that's the answer we were looking for.

 

[Jesus Christ]

You’re pushy Vault Dweller. But I forgive you.

 

[Dgaider]

Heh. I liked the picture of the RPG Codex babies.

Chris rocks. Now I wish my interview had been funnier. Man, I'm so lame. *pout*

 

[Atrokkus]

Chris A. the object of the interview? Why the M?

It's MASTAH CHRIS AVELLONE, you prick! M-A-S-T-A-H, can't you even READD!"?!?%11

I can read faster than your actors can talk

It would be quite retarded of one to say otherwise, hmm?

You’re pushy Vault Dweller. But I forgive you.

UR RLY JEEZ-UHS??!11



But jokes aside, this interview is a clear and quite alarming indicator of what the big companies are all about now, and how talented people kind of lose their spark, choosing the path of least resistance. He's still doing what he loves, but, perhaps, his values changed a little, and that is not what msot of people here are happy about.
Anyways, I'd like to see what their new project will be like.

 

[Killzig]

I'm glad the MCA moniker lives on. Do I get royalties when you guys use that?

 

[Atrokkus]

Who the fuck are you, anyway? O_o

 

[Jora]

Great interview. Chris is very funny as always.

 

[Slylandro]

Who drew those pictures? Hope to see some more of that fantastic artwork in AoD.

Chris drew them. Unfortunately he isn't in the AoD team.

 

[bryce777]

VD, you are wrong about new reno. Russia today is a great example of this. Organized crime is just a form of tribalism; in new reno, in effect, the criminals are just the local war chiefs.

 

[bryce777]

Also, new reno fits well into the fallout world.

Oldstyle gangsters fit in PERFECTLY with the 'future past' world of fallout.

 

[LlamaGod]

Hmm, babies disliking a game designed for someone with the brain power of a baby.

 

[merry andrew]

I read all of it. Just wanted everyone to know how smart I am.

 

[Kthan75]

Great interview!

It's funny and I believe the answers are honest.


Oh, and Volourn, your posts are silly. My only guess is that you post these retarded messages on purpose, just so you get some attention. Very well, here's some attention: you suck!

 

[Uz0rnaem]

The interview was fantastic, despite it being a bit "gimmicky". It really felt like both, the interviewee and the interviewer cared about the exchange. You barely see stuff like this on other gaming sites.

I can't think of anything cynical to add, sorry.
