Damn You Bioware!Follow

Holy crap! Somebody who actually sounds semi-reasonable O_o!

I do feel a little resentful that I was mislead into spending the time/money (even if it was only 10$ for me, yay rentals) on a game that I feel was horrible in almost every aspect. When it came out this and this were how the game was portrayed to me, while this is closer to what I actually got. Maybe it was completely unrealistic, but I was hoping Bioware would have learned it's lesson from ME and focused on implementing interesting combat instead of just text volume, but whatever. Despite Maj/idi's childish suppositions, obviously no one is trying to force me to play it again and I have no expectation that this conversation will stop Idi from mindlessly shelling out more money every time Bioware tells him to. I posted and continue to post in this thread purely because I have some opinion on the matters within that I'd like to discuss. I'm sure Idi doesn't expect Bioware to not charge him because he wrote a thread complaining about it, or me to change my mind about DA:O just because he insulted me and called my points "unfair". To pretend that every post has or needs to have some overarching motive and strategy behind it seems a bit absurd (or maybe paranoid?).

On that note though, the whole notion that I should have just accepted that other peoples subjective opinions as immutable facts and not try to challenge them is incredibly hypocritical in itself. After all, if that was the case there would be no reason for anyone to challenge my first post(s) as well correct? My subjective opinion is that Bioware and the games they produce suck, so if the rest of the posters gave me the same level of regard that you expect me to give Idi, no one would have bashed this opinion either.


DA:O- Given that you readily admit the overabundance of detail/backstory/romancing/etc instead of pretending it's not there, you could certainly see how someone who really just wants to slaughter orcs darksomethings would feel that it gets in the way of what would traditionally be considered the "core gameplay," which was unimpressive at best, no?

CoD- Wouldn't know, don't like the series enough to shell out for it every year.

Fable2- The blacksmith one? If we're thinking of the same mini-game, I probably did it once then never bothered with it again. Most of my money making came from real-estate manipulation and bandit hunting. Given that you claim to enjoy the mundane relationship management and faux plot variance from DA:O, I would have thought Fable 2 would have had more appeal to you since it focuses on them as well. Unless it's the actual abundance of text itself that you enjoy and not the implied meaning behind it?

That's like saying that you thought Starcraft II was going to be like this, then being upset that it was actually this.

Ah, here I had just assumed that his last link was an actual DA:O gameplay clip. That'll learn me.

"I thought so" as in "I thought so, too, but then people got mad at me for ***************

That's how I understood it, anyway.

Edit: Ugh, third page. Missed that.
