I don't recall mentioning Minsc and Boo, or what they have to do with Final Fantasy. Was your postulation, per se, that if Minsc and Boo are retarded FF13 is somehow less retarded than I've implied, per se? Was this an intended defense of Final Fantasy by bringing up something unrelated? Perhaps you ought to kill yourself, QED

I wasn't trying to defend FF13. I was just pointing out that many "codex approved games" have more than their fair share of silly shit.

Personally, I found Minsc/Boo to be stupid and nonsensical. However, for some reason unknown to me, they seem to be beloved characters on the Codex. Its seems a bit hypocritical for people to bash the stupid shit in FF.

But Boo didn't live in Minsc's afro.

Baldur's Gate is Final Fantasy of WRPGs. Overrated shit.

Hard time accepting the facts, I see. Well, have fun with your mediocre writing, no roleplaying, dungeon crawling, repetitive combat and dumbed down D&D system

I guess i will play one of those zounds of inferior games released afterwards then i guess. If i am lucky i might just play one of those 10 that are as good or maybe even better.

Not many better RPGs released since then makes it a good RPG. I see.

Also, trying to emulate Volourn and your general craving for acceptance only make you look even more retarded.

That just described about every RPG ever released. As the idiotic consensus goes: you take one of those points out and it's an adventure game.

More like: BG2 is an extremely mediocre game, but is still regarded by the codex as top10.

Mediocre lol.

Good story? Sorry, swing and a miss. Good dungeon crawling? The only good dungeon in the whole series was in ToB. Very good combat? Sure, if repetitive is what you're looking for.
Mediocre yes. No amount of rolling eyes will change that


Oh lookie, what a great find: http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1935

I guess now we know why so many people like it, eh?

If it's an extremely mediocre game, then how come the vast majority of CRPGs aren't like it?

Hory, I didn't think that by your tastes and preferences, you would enjoy those Baldur's Gate games.
