I vote with both. Why should I stay silent? Silence is exactly what cocksuckers like that want. You can keep making disparaging comments like "screams over the internet" all you want. It won't make you right. If you think that playing the game makes you better in some way, that's your choice, but it doesn't make you better. It just shows that you have loose principles, if any.

The only way to hurt a businessman is not buy his product as EA had bad publicity for more than a decade and still exists. You can voice your discontent, but it won't accomplish much if people are buying the product.

Many people buy the product because they're ignorant. If nobody speaks up, they will remain ignorant. If those familiar with the subject do speak up, at least some of the previously ignorant people will gain better understanding and do something about it. No matter how you look at it, staying silent is a bad idea. Silence is complicity in the decline.

The bar is not something material that Cameron can raise from the bottom of the ocean. You won't change mainstream media, cod audience and skyrim audience.But maybe I am wrong.

The most important thing is that we would get quality isometric TB or RTwP RPGs and that's the only thing that matters.

This kind of resignation is not conducive to having an environment in which people are considered anything more than brainless wallets on legs.

I don't agree that that's the only thing that matters. Saying that that's the only thing that matters is a very short-sighted way of looking at things.

I can't and I won't drown in frustration, because someone actually enjoys being milked or playing COD. I can't influence it ergo I must accept it. However, I can support projects that are promising and I will support more of them when I will have more money. That's what I can do and will do.

I'm fine with it, too. I just don't want idiots like that making my RPGs. Duh duh duh. What is your basic malfunction here? Why can't you grasp the obvious?

Which is why I support PE. I don't know whether it will be popamole, I don't know whether it wil be emotionally engaging in a majestic way, and whether it will include awesome buttan. All I know is that the motherfucking writer of PST and the gameplay designers of TOEE and IWD2 are making a game. Nothing else is known right now, and that should be the single gripe - that no one knows. Any assumptions that it will be shit, or goty 2014, or popamole, is just reading between the lines, like a womun

That's odd. I mean, for all we know they have identical inventory interfaces. Surely the camera comparison makes some sense.

I should've known you'd think camera controls and inventory management passes for gameplay these days. You should read up on VD's take on gameplay design, where he proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, almost mathematically, that gameplay equals combat (preferably turn-based) and dialogs (preferably with c&c) and nothing more. Everything else is just filler, even walking.
