Mine threw out over $10k worth of old Magic cards. And she KNEW they were valuable too.

I don't speak to her anymore.

Arcanum is a terrible game, and people who praise it have either never finished it or never gone beyond Tarant.

Edit: Is it actually still edgy to say this, by this point in the Codex?

The fact that Tim & Leo's new game being 3rd action console RPG is so much better than if it were a turn based cRPG.

I just assume that the people who talk positively about the first Mass Effect game like RPG systems regardless of how terrible those systems were implemented. They're the worst kind of people. It's even worse when people talk about how Mass Effect was the last good game Bioware released. That one really hurts the soul.

Every Troika game is terrible (each in their own special way of course).

The HBS Shadowrun games are mediocre. Nothing more, nothing less. The best (potentially only) thing they have going for them is that they are easy/simple to play.

This thread is about telling truths disguised as outrageous exaggerations and lies.

And it's alright. Everyone needs to confess every once in a while...

Some missions like the APEX are quite well designed. Should someone makes a videos to defend turn-based combat system, those should be included. Those kind of situation simply could not be designed in a real-time game.

Bioware and Mass Effect 3 will show what talented AAA company can achieve in cRPG's and so incline will that outdated isometric RPG's are finally going to be a thing of the past. At the same time people will finally realise how silly thing turn based combat is.

Look, Mass Effect 3 will be the finest production BioWare has ever made. It will be like rainbow glimmering in a the darkness, and rain, like golden shower falling down and people standing their eyes pointed to the sky to the parting clouds, their mouths wide open in wonder while they are applauding.

Gothic 1 is boring, the whole series is mediocre, only reason it's popular is cause Euro members gush over it.

Obsidian has never made a game worth playing.

You get better discussion in GD than in GRPGD.

I have things on my chest I need to confess.

I actually enjoyed PoE + WM I + WM II.
