I think I fried my brain a bit in the military. I know I loved the fuck out of Summoner, but I cant for the life of me remember what I loved about the game.
Summoner 1 wasn't very good. It was unique at the time because it was a very PCish game on a console but that was about it. Summoner 2 was great though, I really liked that game and it was a shame so many missed out since 1 sucked and they didn't try it.

i'll tell you what i loved about it...

i had to buy 3 games and a controller in order to be eligible to put a ps2 on hold, release day.

pretty sure i got amored core 2, tekken tag and the summoner, the summoner was my third, "well i need to buy something"

it wasn't a bad 3rd person rpg, lore wasn't bad, was pretty good action was, was it atb?, just companions wasn't at bioware/baulders gate level

With the way this has been happening I don’t see how people can make the argument we lost gamer gate. We lost some battles, but it’s pretty clear the war is turning in our favor.
You can only sell people shit for so long until they stop falling for the sales pitches and look for something better.

I'm not sure how it all works but is there no way to save Concord and alter it somehow? Turn it into some other project? To release a game and throw it away in what 4 days is still crazy

That takes money. It's possible Sony might use the assets or engine or something...then again they might have their beancounters use it for a massive write off

Not specific to Dragon Age here, but all these games lately make it clear we lost gamergate. All the western devs listen to the stuff Anita Sarkisian was complaining about an implemented it. Now they just dont have as many costumers due to that.
We're definitely winning, but it's a slow process. A lot of these games we're seeing right now have been development for years. Many of them were in or started development after St. Floyd made his heroic sacrifice.

We won't see the major fruits of our labor for another 3-5 years.

Well this is all starting to make more sense. Should just move this game thread to GamerGate thread as this game contains some of GG's greatest hits. This creature tweeted this last night:

Some of you may remember them from this banger:

This game succeeding will be one of the worst things in gaming since Lara Croft's breast reduction.

This is....just....huh

What the fuck is a queer consultant?? What school hands out these degrees?

If you believe the reporting on how awful Firewalk was being run, just simple creative criticism would basically get you fired. Sony shutting them down will actually pave the way for them to revive the game under new management or at a minimum start reusing the assets somewhere else.

My stance on the whole gay thing is that I know a few gay people, they are just like everyone else (except more melodramatic lol), and I fully support everyone’s right to hold a parade (Pride). But I wouldn’t watch it in a million fucking years. It's disgusting. And people who attack me for that are fucking bigoted fascist. Diversity in opinion, yo. Am I the only one?

I'm willing to give people a chance to discus gamergate type shit in here that is specific to the game. The more generalized GG stuff can fuck right out of here.

The thing I hate about what I've heard about the game is, you can't really be an asshole to anybody. You're kind'a forced into this, "nice guy" role. I've heard this from a couple'a sources, most of 'em are on youtube, and have been linked.

That's one of the reasons why I stopped playing Star Wars. Cool, I'm a bad ass Sith, who's every second line before entering a bossfight is, "You shall die..." To a pathetic wimp who wields a big red rubber dildo.

I mean, jeezus.

This bothered me from the SkillUp video, that and the fact the facial animations suck dick and it does really seem like they Pixar'd it.

Let's assume your statement is correct (it isn't). What's your point?

What's actually happening is that Tencent is looking to buy Ubisoft in its hobbled state. The IPs that Ubisoft owns are extremely valuable and could mint billions if handled well.

You've completely lost your mind if you think that Tencent would invest in Ubisoft, unless they become the single, dominant shareholder (i.e. effectively the same thing as owning them).

Redundant contrarianism preceded by bullshit semantics. Restated my exact comment.

Keep the forumquest coming though, someone's gotta do it.

You’d be surprised about how much stuff they broadcast that goes against left leaning norms. Not saying that slant doesn’t exist in it, but in the past month I listened to a researcher providing evidence that COVID was leaked from a virology lab in China due to insufficient safeguards for a novel virus and Coleman Hughes (I think?) talking about how many DEI efforts basically go too far and effectively become racist unto themselves (he called it Neo Racism)

There is a cool program called Hidden Brain on Saturday that also discusses research involving the human mind - the one focusing on extremism and how MRI showed how it literally changes the brain was interesting (guy was researching terrorists originally)

I used to like NPR in the past for generally being anti-establishment. Had to chuck them in a landfill in 2020 when they spent the whole year "reporting" on the boogeyman of "far-right car attacks on protesters", most of which either didn't happen, or were just a family trying to escape from antifa bashing in their windows or something. There was one in Seattle that turned out to just be some drunk guy who ran over a protester at midnight because she was wearing all black and standing in the middle of a highway. Another was a trucker who couldn't brake fast enough to avoid a bunch of nutcases trying to block a road, and almost hit them.

I don't know of a single goddamn "far-right car attack" reported by NPR that actually happened.

So basically, fuck NPR

I mean gay people mostly wont want to play as themselves, just like handicaps choosing wheelchair instead of skates in tony hawk.

"Forum quest?" I have ~1600 posts in a decade. You literally have 10x as many as I do, but carry on.

I sincerely thought if bothering to respond to a mentally-ill Liberal was a waste of time and you validated my intuition.

And no, I didn't restate your comment. There's a massive difference between buying a company and investing in one.

Faggot.

Will not buy another Bioware game until the blue hair purge happens from their ranks.
It's okay Bioware is never making another game. They need to sell something like 4.7M copies to break even on this. Don't see that ever happening.

You seem a little cloudy. Did you miss a week of injections? I know it's a lot of upkeep involved in that sort of thing.

Why don't you go take another jab to refill your empty nutsack, you overblown manbitch.
