Dont Get Me Wrong I Love Jade Empire, MAss Effect and Both Knights of the Old Republic games but bioware just took the exact same control interface and transfered it across 3 different games conversation menus and micro managing of equipement is all identical and dont get me started on the bad combat systems.CountFenring said:
First, I haven't played Jade Empire, so I can't say anything about it. Second, BioWare didn't make KotOR 2, that was Obsidian. On That other stuff, that's why I like them, the dialogue gives you enough choices to say, be nice, evil, in the middle or just ask a random question. That's enough for me, I would prefer the Morrowind text tree-ish things. I personally like micro managing. And I don;t care about the combat system all that much, if I want good combat I play an FPS or Gears. I'd rather play an RPG for the story.UpSkirtDistress said:
What? What does EA possibly have to do with Valve? Valve was created as an independent company, and their only current association with EA is that EA has been publishing xbox ports of their recent, already-completed games. EA wasn't even the first publisher that Valve worked with. I'd be pretty interested to hear your explanation for how Valve wouldn't exist without EA.Peach_hat said:
Has Tim Schafer ever made a commercially successful game? His resume as lead designer starts with Full Throttle, runs through Grim Fandango, and hits Psychonauts. All great games...all poor sellers and cult classics. At some point you have to wonder if whoever publishes his designs from here on out isn't just using them as a "prestige factor" in much the same way TV networks used to lose money on their news divisions but kept them around to deflect criticism of their more mindless shows (q.v. especially CBS in the 1960s using Edward R. Murrow to offset Gilligan's Island.)ToonLink said:
