Hahahahaha. So true, so true. It made no sense, thus why it was awesome.

I agree with you about Dragon Age. Who knows, maybe Inquisition will add some new things to the lore and make it more interesting.

They can probably make more money in the long run (and have more creative freedom) if they create an entirely new IP. One could argue that Forgotten Realms is derivative as well, but as far as fantasy RPG settings are concerned, it's got a lot of history and is very "comfortable" for those of us old school D&D…

I really liked both KotOR and Jade Empire. I remember Jade Empire being really fun. You might be able to persuade me that Jade Empire was also a great game. It's certainly a shame that they never made a sequel.

I think for it's time BGII was a very polished game. That isn't to say that other BioWare games aren't polished, they are.

To each their own. I think KotOR is a great game, I just happen to think that BGII is better.

Perhaps. As I just mentioned in another post on this thread, it's hard for me to imagine revisiting any other BioWare game except for BGII... but I am always open to new suggestions, and you make some good ones. Perhaps I'll put DA Origins on the replay list.

Fair point. I guess it depends on how your scale works. To me, BGII was BioWare's last great game. They've made a bunch of really good games since then, but nothing that I would consider great. It's hard to imaging myself revisiting any BioWare games except for BGII. That, to me, is one indicator of why BGII is great.…

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. I think I got their acronyms mixed up too... I was referring to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, not Star Wars: The Old Republic. KotOR is a very good game, I agree. But it's not BGII. That's all I was saying.

Well I did buy DA Origins for PC in a Steam sale a while back, so maybe I'll give it another go.

In a sense it was a return to their roots, but I don't fully agree. On the consoles the combat was compromised and didn't have the same tactical feel as BGII. I've heard the PC version was better, but I played it on 360 like you did. The story also didn't feel as rich to me in DA Origins as BGII did, but perhaps…

Exactly.

I wholeheartedly agree that Baldur's Gate II is one of the best RPGs of all time. It is, unfortunately, also the last great game that BioWare made.

I think it looks kind of interesting. A lot people seem to feel that it renders buying a Vita obsolete, but Vita TV isn't portable. It's a console version of the Vita with some extra functionality. So, I guess if you have some Vita games you've always wanted to play but didn't want to shell out $200 for the handheld…

In my humble opinion Ni No Kuni was a god-awful piece of turd.

I've never played EVE. It looks amazing, but... well, it seems like too much of a time sink. I've got a friend who is trying to get me back into SWTOR right now but I just don't have the time to devote to it. I don't know how I would ever be able to play EVE.

I agree with you. It's also how I play games a lot of the time. Right now I have way to many games to play (and finish) that paying a subscription fee to an MMO is out of the question. On the other hand, the F2P model is annoying. I hate games that bug me to purchase upgrades or unlocks or restrict what I can access…

Am I the only one who thinks the art direction looks like a mashup of several recent popular Sci-Fi properties? The guns remind me of Borderlands, but toned down a notch. The aliens and some of the armor look like Mass Effect. There's even shades of Star Wars. I'm sure there's some Halo in there as well, because...…

What about Goldeneye?

I think those costumes are a combination of the original jumpsuits worn in season 1 of ST: TNG and later revisions. Look at the collar. The collars on these suits are raised. The original TNG jumpsuits didn't have collars at all. Plus they had a sort of triangular stripe matching the color of the uniform that went…
