I don't understand why Gop would need to diminish and demean Bioware's game. He could just stated what their game was about and said something like 'they're two different games.' Most like people will buy them both - and probably also play them both.

With anyone else I would have let it slip. Ed Greenwood is turning in his grave right now.

That's excactly what he did. Re-read the quote. Nowhere does he state that anything about Bioware is bad. He simply points out what he sees as differences after being asked.
DU could have just as well titled: CD Project praises Bioware for using clear cut moral compases in their games, managing to make even slightly generic settings awesome or being graphically only second to CD Project themselves.
Only then the Biowhore and Twitcher fanboys wouldn't provide as much entertainment and as Master of the Circus DU has a nose for entertainment :salute:

Did he die? Someone should've told me. I have a party to throw. One down, 34893631 to go. By the way, you forgot a comma, faggot.

What, really? He looks seventy plus. That and he's obese, so he can't be too long for this world.

Not only will Skyrim look better than Oblivion, you will also be able to get all perks with one character!

Just like in Fallout 3. :smug:

Giving a couple of areas in which you think your game is better = diminish and demean Bioware's game?

Fucking thin skinned liberalfags.

Tststs, it's so easy to get a rise out of you. And I forgot no comma :smug:

Trying to think of something on topic to contribute... Well, something for Jaesun and I do connect it to Bio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjFc8CR_HBA

"With anyone else, I would have let it slip," sweetie. What, do you find "faggot" very insulting or something?

I agree with the CDK developer. Dragon Age has a generic setup since the day it was announced. I enjoyed it as a generic fantasy adventure similar to BG2 but that's it, nothing exciting about the characters or world.

Also, Witcher 2 looks ten times better than anything I have seen so far from DA2 (or first one..).

The gaming media and their media stunts.

This. Every gaming studio ever is all hype and it's mostly self-generted.

Fixed both.

What do you see as the problem with CD Projekt hyping a game they want to sell? They want people to buy their game so that they will earn money to pay their staff and make more games. Should they call everyone up to explain that it's shit and won't be worth playing? I'm sure that'd be just another marketing stunt to the Codex though.

But seriously, which fucking studio does not hype their own products consistently? CD Project are no worse, and in fact, a ways better than BethSoft. Gop is just a potato eating analogue for Todd Howard, only he makes better games and is less obnoxious and seems to genuinely understand the lore of the material he is working on (correct me if I'm wrong Pollacks).

CD Project, thirdly, are also lesser known in the West (English speaking) and have to hype themselves because gaming magazines don't seem to be doing it for them, while it is being done for BethSoft and Bioware.

GET OUT OF HERE STALKER.

Maybe not character models, but the environment in DA2 looks fucking terrible in comparison. Barren ground, low res textures...

Eh, character models too actually.

I am yet to see deep moral dilemmas and real c&c though. But getting ahead of DA, with its bland black and white choices, is not a big achievement.

Whoa, that is one broadside after another! Is the Polish better known for their frankness and directness of diction or mischievous merry-making?
Well, Poles are significant minority on the Codex.

CDPR hype may be getting quite a bit tired, but still there are some good reasons to look forward to Witcher 2.

Between noming heads clearly dug up from the bowels of uncanny valley, stupid character design, fap-fodder bromances, this screenshot, bioware writing, bioware morality and *forced* grimdark there is little reason to care about DA2.

You're comparing art style with those screenshots, not graphics. That specific region of DA2 "looks barren" because it's supposed to be barren.

So? You can dig up any Ashland screenshot from unmodded Morrowind and it will still look much better than second screenshot from Derp Age 2.
