Surlis: I read the entir einterview. And, let's face it, the credo of Troika has been tb, tb, tb. This 'sudden" shift just proves they realzie that their way is not the best way to stay in business. It's called compromise. Yes, it's good they are willing to compromise but any Troika non tb game is a compromise as it wouldn't be their first choice. The rest of it is just him trying to feel better with the decision to go rt/w pause.
"I don't think to many here would elevate Bio to the Godhood of RT to begin with (basically you're on your own)?"
Huh? i would *never* elevate BIo to the realm of Godhood in regards to RT. Are ya daft, and blind? I said they are Real Time /w Pause Gods. There is a difference. Nice way to lie about what I wrote. Not to mention, the people "here" wouldn't elevate BIO anywhere other than a pile of shit so I don'tt ake that fact seriously. Come back to me when you stop lying about what I posted.
"BG was ok, NWN was meh - when talking about combat."
Only an idiot would say that BG had better RT/w pause combat. I mean, fighetrs in comaprison to NWN were merely click, click, click while in NWN your fighter has LOTS of options. Heck, only TOEE offers as much options from games I've played as NWN does.
"So, what did you feel was not solid in Temple of Elemental Evil's turnbased combat model?"
Let me see. First off, I never said the tb combat itself wans't solid. Overall, it was solid; but the game itself was not. You gonna dispute this factual fact? However, in regards to combat, TOEE's many bugs, and EASINESS of combat kinda hurts it overall.
"Is there game which you feel was more solid than ToEE in regards to turnbased combat? Yes? No? Why?"
Yes. FO. Though TOEE has more combat options, Fo had the HUGE advantage in regards to challenge that more than makes up for anal rules implemenation.Plus, overall, FO is a more solid tb game because its a more complete package as a game.
"No, I expect them to make something good if they put enough work into it."
That's better than the claim by some 8cough* Whip *cough* who thinks by virtue of it being Troika they'll automatically make better RT w/ pause games than BIO whose forte is that. Heck, even JE which is 'action' has RT w/pause elements.
I think Troika can *easily* make a good RT w/pause game; but best BIO on their first try when they are only make it grudgingly? I highly doubt that.
"At this point, your hyperbole is beyond asinine."
Which is why i fit in her eperfectly. In your hyperbole about my asinineity explains why you fit in here as well. :twisted:
"Is there a chance you can revert to being reasoned with, or am I going to sit trough and listen to your unjustified verbal fellatio of Bioware again while you accuse me of blindly defending Troika?"
Please don't cry because I npoint out that by virtue of BIO having more experience in RT.wpause games that Troika won't swoop in and automatically make a better one in their first try. If the best you can do is call me a BIo fanboy; you lose. At leats Bioware doesn't seemingly "lower their standards" to please publishers on the scale that Troika does. For being the TB Gods they sure as heck make a lot of RT type games - Arcanum and Vampire included.
Next.
P.S. To be not so negative, I liked the screenshot, and all the whiny anti robot morons should stop crying. It looks cute so go away.
