It's enough to tell people truth to trigger them.

Examples: Morrowind is just a larper encyclopedia and Gothic is a plain superior game. Elex is a bad game with wannabe epic plot and broken mechanics. DOS2 is a dumb, unfinished garbage for redditors that failed to improve over predecessor. Not to mention that those games are failure on almost every front. If you browse game topics and view my posts you can see I doing ok (for such a small effort).

I would go as far as saying that BG games are the same boring crap just as everything that Bioware created afterwards. Granted I haven't even installed any of BGs once, but I'm quite sure I'm right.

This is coming from a forum that dislikes people calling other's opinions "shit". You can't make this stuff up, people are also giving real advice to this person.

In terms of storytelling quality? Eh, a bit higher.

In terms of combat quality, everything they released afterward had its brains scooped out by comparison. Not that it was that excellent, just that it was much better than say KOTOR.

I mean, unless you just window select your whole over-powered, 6-person party and click on the enemy, winning most of the game's fights with ease. :M

Isometric view is one of the worst shit gaming industry has ever spawned and should have been kicked out many years ago, when technology allowed us to finally create immersive and enjoyable 1-st and 3-rd person view games. Nowadays it is used only to get 'old-school' trait and lure retards who enjoy it to buy the game.

Nothing wrong with being a cisgender heterosexual male gamer, as long as you aren't one. The absolute bottom of the shitpit, useless rejects who drown in their own wank.

Huh, let me try another one then

Goldbox games are archaic and clunky, modern rpgs are infinitelly superior. Why the fuck are you all stuck in the past and enamored with outdated shit like Grimoire?

Let me try, with a legitimate opinion of mine:
Deus Ex is the greatest RPG ever.
