So, this is the thread where all of the Obsidian fans and all of the Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2 haters come together and hate Bioware as a team. So let me make absolutely no friends in this thread by saying Obsidian sucks, and the only things they have made since being founded were games i'd charitably call 'Passable.'
But everyone has such short memories with, you know, Alpha Protocol, Dungeon Siege 3, New Vegas. You'd think people would remember the pattern with Obsidian. Everyone defends them, claims their awesome, they release awesome screenshots... And then the game blows.
Pretty much this,
Obsidian even as writers are not even good in their own right. People here just like them because they think they are black isle 2.0, when really, their just developers who can't seem to pick the right publishers to fund their game and can't come up with their own IP. And when they did, (alpha protocol), it blew big time. So now, their just making buggy and unfinished games from someone else's IP because apparently, their "amazing writing" doesn't allow them to make one up themselves.
But of course, as you probably know, the overall escapist community cling on to nostalgia like bear and honey. So the fact that the mere mention of Obsisdion would bring on those type of people here is a given. Put this thread in giant bomb or the game faqs forums and this thread would go in a complete 180.
OT: obviously Bioware. They made the series, they know what their doing with it, they make it. Simple. And I have a feeling if it wasn't for EA, we would have a KOTOR 3 instead of the MMO.
