I don't know about brokenness. Apart from the PC controls, the Console release of Dungeon Siege 3 handled very well with next to no bugs or glitches. Granted, its story wasn't the greatest, but it was functionally sound.
Obsidian Adapting a "Leading Animation Franchise"
- Thread starter Soviet Heavy
- Start date
A game based off of Justice League: The Animated Series would be awesome. You could play a new recruit. Bopping around saving the Earth and other planets with heroes like Batman, Flash, and Wonder Woman would be amazing.
That makes it a departure from a standard Obsidian release on two fronts; Obsidian is known for releasing terribly broken games with incredible stories. Sounds like that one was a technically solid game with a mediocre story.Soviet Heavy said:
Its a step in the right direction at least. A game with strong mechanics and an average story is better than a game with a great story and terrible mechanics. A fantastic game will have both.Owyn_Merrilin said:
I would love it to be based off of The Last Airbender, the show not the movie. I think it has a lot of potential to be a great game but so far they've all just been lazy cashins with very easy achievements.
True that. I keep buying indie games, and absolutely loving the ones that are pure gameplay, while wondering what the heck all the critics that praised games like Braid were smoking; it's a mediocre Super Mario Bros. clone with a half baked time travel mechanic and a cryptic "story." I'd rather play VVVVVV or Voxeltron any day of the week.Soviet Heavy said:
I gotta agree with the majority thus far Last Airbender game would be cool, now all i can think of is a Last Airbender game built like Kotor II
I don't know, when it comes to RPG's I'd rather have a broken game with a really good story as opposed to vice-versa, however I wish we could always have both.Soviet Heavy said:
Inspector Gadget. Gadget is a bitter, jaded Chicago P.I. looking for his wife's murderer. It could be a Call Of Cthulhu : Dark Corners of the Earth/Condemned : Criminal Origins gritty, survival, horror/fps melee fighter. Instead of sledgehammers and bits of old pipe, you use Gadget's err. gadgets to fight off enemies.

Thanks for the laugh! as bad as the game would be, I would shit bricks all the way from announcement to release.
Huh. I wonder where I've been then. I love WoT. Well, I hope it comes to fruition.Soviet Heavy said:
As much as I like Obsidian, I wonder if they just cant come up with original IPs. Its like they cut out concepts along with QA testing to speed up development.
Now now people, let's be fair here. Everyone keeps saying Obsidian releases brilliant but broken games, but that's simply not true. They released Dungeon Siege 3, which was fairly polished and quite bug-free. Granted, it was boring, generic, short and uninspired, but saying that they can only make broken games isn't fair...
