Zehdon, you have to play it before you render judgment. Ken Levine has a good idea of what he's doing. I won't take opinions seriously until we all do. See you in 2 years. =P Besides, the studio is 20 minutes from my house. I got to root for the home team.

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="17" id="2711874"]Wow. Annualising Bioshock. I expected them to at least call it something different. Bioshock stood on it's own merits and became a very successful IP because it was simply good. Bioshock 2 cashed in on that, and delivered a bit of an encore. Not essential, but not terrible to the point of burning the franchise to ground... or tying balloons to it and floating it into the fucking sky, either. Bioshock 4: Moder

You need to think back to 2007. It was a world where the first 3/4 of the year pretty much sucked. Bioshock was an original IP with a great setting, great characters and an amazing narrative. I'm not saying the gameplay was amazing and I'm not comparing it to System Shock 2. What other dev studios produced a game with more intellectual property creativity than Irrational did?

No, I'm not trolling. Long story short back in 2008 when Demigod was being developed the economy went real bad and GPG lost 50% of its workforce. That group of people went to form Uber Entertainment and have been working on Monday Night Combat since. Comes out Aug 11. Its basically Demigod the 3rd person shooter. Literally. This is the same team that made Demigod. I'm super excited over it. My Xbox live name is Polyn0mial. I'll be getting it next week 4 sure. http://www.uberen

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="243" id="2698598"] Quoting edpfister, reply 242 Yeah, I agree with most of this. It's sad that these old game types that were hugely popular were basically abandoned. I can see the large money grubbing companies shying away from them but what about all the indie/small developers out there? If one of them actually made a really well done game of one of these types I bet they would sell a lot of copies and get a loyal fanbase that wou

I had to bump in when someone confused NWN2 for Bioware. Again. And Nesrie, the method for appreciating physical art is different from video games. Same thing with movies. Citizen Kane is still an advance movie in terms of cinematography to this day. Playing video games changes drastically when you're talking about a 10 year old game. Its next to impossible to be "wow"ed by Baldur's Gate today if you never played it with its extremely advanced camera system and engrossing text based c

I'm the biggest Bioware fanboy ever. I only became one post KOTOR. I have tried to play the Baldur's Gate. I can't. The game is tool old. I can appreciate it for its time period, but to play it now is next to impossible. Stop insulting me Nesrie, its getting annoying. I'm trying to keep this troll free.

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="199" id="2688021"]Don't get me wrong, They're good games, however none of them even compare to Baldur's Gate II. That game worked so well and stands as the best of the genre because of the interesting characters and their interactions, the interesting world and locations and the story, which was fairly fresh at the time. And the antaognist? Shit, he still stands as one of the best in gaming.[/quote] The problem here is unlike a bo

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="188" id="2685446"] I think Obsidian is owned by Activision.[/quote] Obsidian is independent. And Nesrie, stop being such an asshole? You're taking the internet way too seriously. I can call people names too. I wonder if you're that grumpy and mean in real life...

The difference between you and me is all you do is speculate. Anytime I reference anything you write it off as wrong or irrelevant. Graphics are not getting any better soon. This is a fact because consoles drive the industry and consoles have a limit. You continue to generalize games except you cannot even name one when graphics clearly and totally outweighed the rest of the game. You're essentially making an argument with no proof. You simply keep repeating yourself that increased ar

[quote who="Autarkhos" reply="151" id="2683197"]Quoting Polynomial, reply 148Adam Sessler agrees with me about late 90s graphics. http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/703720/thefeed.html He is... Actually completely wrong. Just because reviewers focused on graphics does not mean dev teams did. He's also ignoring the fact that game companies are focusing more on the graphical quality of their current games (I mean, it was one of the selling points for Crysis, as an example) instea

[quote who="Autarkhos" reply="142" id="2682664"] Quoting Polynomial, reply 140Bioshock changed the whole light story FPS concept we used to have. You seem to say all the critically acclaimed games in recent history are terrible. I know, we can never hope to achieve the quality of games back in the late 90s and early 2000. You know, the period where devs spent more time on graphics than anything else. Except, it didn't. That's what Half Life, Deus Ex, System Shock etc did years befor
