Good. Game.

Seriously now, how much did they pay Bioware? This is just bad. Oi.

    I dunno, man. Turning iconic franchises into RPGs has been successful before.

    Meh, there were games before this and there will be more after. Unless they blow the money on some sort of exotic fruit, it will just give them more freedom to do whatever game they feel like doing.

    Sadly enough it'll probably be the best Sonic game. Ever. But that's not saying much.

    Guys, Super Mario is one thing. Its nearly all really, really, REALLY good games for the franchise.

    Sonic is at like 10%. 20%. And 0% in the last 10 years.

    Same good game, and the plot was solid until the black planet. Wish loads of it didn't get cut, though.

    In my opinion, KOTOR2 was better than KOTOR1, and that doesn't even matter: Bioware didn't make it. Obsidian, the remnants of Black Isle, did.

    You mean that game they didn't make?

    Bioware has made some terrible games, though. Baldur's Gate, for example.

    BG2 is my favourite RPG of all-time. Never tried BG1, heard it was just as good from fans.

    I never played BG2 because the first one sucked so much, so I wouldn't know about that.

    I had completely forgotten about Neverwinter Nights, though. I think everyone can get behind my hatred of that game, so let's just pretend I said that instead.

    Neverwinter Nights had the best multiplayer/custom content support for any game I've ever seen. I played it for years.

    I actually just got done playing NWN with a community that I've been apart of (for a persistent RP server) for 3+ years.

    I'd defend Bioware. My NWN server is still going strong, and has the best community of any game I've pretty much ever seen. Hell, I don't think I could kill it if I tried, and that speaks volumes about the game itself, the modability and the support.

    That's a 'good' title, imo.

    Indeed.

    I am willign to bet that the game itself will be fun (Bioware is rather amazing). However the content I draw into question.

    I used to love Sonic (both the games and the world the built around it). I looked back at some of the stuff recently and realized that it all rather sucks (I still like the games, and all of the rest of you can bite me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />)

    I remember ######ing around on Playzen a bit back in the day. I lost my SoU keys or I'd reinstall NWN and take some whirls around again.

    That mutated freak of a "hedgehog" is not only flashing its tailed ass at me, but even framing it. At least Mario wears PANCE for crissakes.
