uwot?

Tell me how it is going to be great.


If it measures up to half the greatness of Planescape, that alone will make it amazing. Especially considering today's standards.

Project Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur's Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.


If it actually delivers on that, it'll be a masterpiece.

You were wearing Xanthous armor and I think you had Ricard's Rapier.

So in other words you want it to copy another game. Yeah I think you should have just left it at Bioshock Infinite. Also considering who is making it I don't have much hope for it being good.

How is the Wii U anyways?


Blunder of the century apparently.

Everything I've heard about it from people who own it has been positive, myself included.


All I hear is negatives, and how game devs are calling out Nintendo about how slow the CPU is, or how this is a step backwards, not a 8th Genertaion console.

You are literally the only person who I've heard talk positively about it. Unfortunately I'm not even joking.

Copy? No. It's just showing what they're promising. It's more a comparison.
You doubt the team working on it? Considering they're not bound by any publishers. They're free to make the game as they like.
You doubt the legendary Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, and Josh Sawyer?

I'm not saying Bioshock Infinite isn't going to be great. Ken Levine is one of the greatest. But it's going to be equally as good, if not better than Bioshock.
That's if they deliver, of course.

  • 12.04.2012 12:44 AM PDT

Xanthous is something I wear, but I usually use Queelag's/Silver Knight straight sword.

I've seen too many Tarkuses.

No one is calling it the "blunder of the century". Maybe the Vita now that it's almost a year in but not the Wii U. The console has been on shelves for two weeks.

The copy comment is relating to you saying you would be happy if it measured up to Planescape based on their direction. Personally that means you want a essentially a copy, but I could be wrong. As for doubt it mainly has to do with it all being promises instead of actual gameplay/ect. Then failed promises and kickstarter might as well be synonyms. I am not saying the game will be bad, but if you want to contribute to the topic I would think something more well established would be a better way to go about it.

I would like it to live up to Planescape, considering it's being compared to it. That's what I meant by that, I don't want it to copy. That's being worked on elsewhere.

You're right about the promises. It's impossible to say anything about the game until we actually see something from the game. Which invalidates your comment;

Posted by: What Is This1

Yeah no that game is probably going to suck.


Although you did say probably. Which means you aren't sure. You can't be sure, you haven't seen any gameplay yet.

It's impossible to tell what the game will be like at this stage. I'm just basing my assumptions on what they've promised.

>OP is tired of corporation bull -blam!-
>Uses Nintendo as an example of what to do

Do you even game OP?

All 3 at the yalta conference are bad these days, and Nintendo is probably the worst. They not only refuse to truly innovate anymore, but continue to rehash the same pieces of -blam!- year after year such so that they even have to rehash the consoles themselves. How many DS iterations are there now? And they all do the same -blam!- ing thing and still have irrelevant games.

I don't understand why people expect sequels from Nintendo anymore. They used to be the industry leader but now they cling to old ideals and old principles (like that friend code bull -blam!-) and remakes of the same 6 IP's we've seen for the last 20 years. I already have a -blam!- ing DS, why not make some good games for that instead of turn my Wii controller into a DS?

The worst part is there are still lines and lines of sheep at midnight waiting to buy the same -blam!- they already played for years. But hey, at least they ship full games and don't bank on the possibility of TU's to fix or add content that should have either been finalized or prioritized on the disc launch. Disc locked content and whatever other marketing ploys they're using now are just insult to injury. It's already $300 for the console, $60 for the game and controller, and possibly more for the online service. The least you could do is give me the full game.

A new era of gaming is coming. Consoles and hard disc games are going to die and digital gaming of the App/Steam persuasion will rise, especially considering this whole development of certain companies moving to prevent offline play. A significant part of console gaming is the commerce of used games, but that will be a thing of the past sooner than you think.

It's unwise to deny the exponential growth of casual gaming. These companies charge too much for too little and 6 months later charge even more for the same mediocre product. These tech giants need to get their -blam!- together because they're digging their own graves.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

I agree.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

Far too many people see games as something they aren't, buy them for all the wrong reasons, and often buy yearly sequels to games that do little to reinvent the formula (no link necessary).

It's not the developers, it's the consumers that are at fault.

I redact my statement, Nintendo is the Apple of the game industry although they do add things every once in a while. Although some series are exempt from this i.e Legend of Zelda

Nintendo was great right up until 2009. There have been 2/3 DS's since then and yet there still aren't any decent games for it.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Usually, when a company that develops games for a living says that you're wrong, you're generally wrong. You don't know half as much about video games as you would even be able to pretend to know.

I'm not sure why gamers think they're entitled to tell people how to make their product. If you don't want it, don't buy it. That will influence them far more than trying to give them orders.Posted by: Onca Rapotee

I do agree, though, season pass crap has gotten out of control.
