Exactly. I don't own a PSP, and there's no way I'm buying one now. That doesn't mean there aren't games on the platform I'd be excited to play.

So how many times do you think you can stand playing what is mechanically the same game before you get sick of it?

I liked DA:O better than DA:2 for sure, but it's still rife with similar problems- at least the world had some diversity to it, even if it still only presented you with the illusion of choice and exploration.

That's sort of exactly my point- Bioware may have interesting characters and story lines propelling gamers through all of their games. But at a certain point, who cares? It's the same game with a different skin. Over and over and over again. Every environment is a lifeless, generic, low detail representation of a much…

Looks like making bad games is the least of High Voltage Software's problems.

Just another reason why Sony should've offered users credit towards any purchase they want to make ($20 would have done it), and not a specific selection of free games.

@Twisk: You are not alone.

And that makes it better?

I know those games, but I don't really care about any of them. I only play some games on PC (I associate being in front of my computer with work, when I'm done working the last thing I want to do is sit at my desk some more).

@Atsumi AKA Tiff: If anyone can take something that's a popular genre and turn it into a facsimile of every other game they've ever released, it's Bioware.

@deuxhero: THANK YOU!

Who cares?

That makes sense, seeing as all of the environments in Dragon Age 2 were probably the work of a single person... adding a second person to the team will make them half as bland.

@rick90211: And they'll tell us to settle our debts with them first, then they'll be happy to sell us all of the precious metals we want.

So a heretofore unheard of executive from a previously unheard of (what I am assuming is a) publishing company is getting press for shit-talk tweeting his competition?

Or maybe they don't have a means or the desire to connect their television to their computer... and the cost of the Wii is so little to them (coupled with the familiarity of the wii-mote for navigation), that this is the solution they prefer...

@Nightshift Nurse: Didn't 3 completely different development studios do the primary heavy lifting on GTA4, RDR, and LA Noire respectively?

Because that's the only possible meaning to derive from featuring what is an ancient symbol, that happens to be actually emblazoned on one of the most iconic pieces of architecture that would have been standing in Los Angeles during the era of LA Noire...

I don't think it's a fallacy based on the admittedly generalized framing Newell paints this concept in.

Dear God, NO. I mean, I was just thinking that Batman needed a shotgun, and be completely generic, but- this is taking things too far.
