Maybe because i dont need stat juggling, stupid loot lists (especially in Sci-Fi games) or useless skill lists in my RPG's. JMHO of course. PS: Also i find the ME triology story leaps and bounds better then the BG story. Never ended BG2, so i cant comment on that one. I highly doubt you pla

Ah, Stardock is expanding to develop Society! Hurray!

You keep generalizing their games. When it gets to actually playing their games, the critical success of Bioware games speak for themselves. FWIW, I've stated a few times on my blog that Bioware is my favorite game developer. I'll bu

[quote who="larrypeters" reply="66" id="2678887"] Quoting Polynomial, reply 64None of you are still providing any ideas or proof of why EA is hurting Bioware. Or proving that EA is making decisions for Bioware that are bad. EA wants every game coming out of Bioware to be in the 90s. EA knows Bioware is one of if not their best studio. I think you did a good job of that yourself. EA wants Bioware to make them a lot of money, they want games with scores in the 90s. It's no

You people need to get your facts straight. NWN2 was by Obsidian, not Bioware. EA has done nothing to Bioware but support its development process financially and marketing their games well. There are no limits on Bioware from EA. TOR being like the most expensive game ever really is limiting.

Baldur's Gate was good when it came out. For example, the memory of playing Goldeneye far outweighs actually playing it. I think some people are mixing in nostalgia when it comes to bashing Mass Effect and Dragon Age. KOTOR was the first Bioware game I actually played and I thought nothing could ever be better, but the Mass Effect games are.

I don't know how Bioware is in decline when each game they release is a commercial and critical success.

So lets go over Mass Effect 2 for a minute. Bioware is the first company in gaming's history to factor in choice in a trilogy. Decisions and characters, whether they live or die roll over to the next game. Man, that is such a stale formula that every game company does. I am sick of seeing companies roll over save games to make my decisions carry more weight. Come on, Mass Effect is the best planned trilogy in gaming's history. There's no argument here. Mass Effect is more than just pu

No, I wouldn't. Example: The texture flickering and popping of Twilight Princess for Wii. I want to play Zelda on 360.

Mass Effect 2 first. If you have not played the original make sure you do that first.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="39" id="2629407"]But consumers don't have any say in the matter because the decisions are made at the developer and publisher level. [/quote] Yup. I like consoles. Just I'll play Mass Effect 2 on PC rather than 360.

Wish SD would get their shit together with impulse and make it more competitive in the few features it lags in so devs could use it and we could have some real competition.

Money is on consoles. There's no question about it.

I tried to ask GPG. I've never gotten any responses. I've emailed Chris Taylor, I've posted in forums. Its why I talked to the Uber guys at PAX East. I appreciate your response Frogboy. It simply just annoys me GPG is clearly capable of great support, but decided to shaft Demigod in favor of Supreme Commander 2 development. GPG never saw a single dollar back from SupCom 1 with a $10 million budget, so $5 million for SupCom 2 sounded right. Oh well. Maybe Demigod 2 after Kings and Cast

CitiesXL was closing down their servers the last I heard.

Too bad the game was terrible to matter.

Anyone else going?

Chris Taylor told us that in X-Play's Independent Dev Panel at DICE, Ke5trel. Kinda sad, but that explains the issues with Demigod =/

[quote who="pacov" reply="5" id="2557412"]Is there anyone at GPG or SD seriously considering DG 2? If so, I can't imagine it will be something coming out in the next 2 years, though.[/quote] GPP is working on Kings and Castles and an unannounced project. Stardock is working on Elemental and an unannounced RPG. So probably not.
