Quote:When you went at games with 2d art and said 3d was so infinitely superior you attack 2d by association, and BG was definitely mentioned many times there...
Wha? I've always considered Yoshi's Island to be one of the greatest-looking games ever made, so you must have misunderstood whatever I said.
Quote:I know it's "little", but the little details make the world convincing! That's just an example. It's the lack of too many of those details that harms the plausibility of the world and makes me care less about the gameworld and the characters. Not true for you sure, but it is for me. Great artwork can't cover everything...
Well that is your loss.
Quote:I'm sure I'll finish it someday, it's not a particularly long game. But a game builds its world and its perspective over time, not just with some specific incidents... and BG&E built a world as I have described (with both good and bad connotations).
Nitpicking? I guess in games that I want to like I look at some smaller details... as I'm sure you remember I did the same to KotOR (though I also did spend more time on its good side). But I am a pessimist by nature...
And dumb...
Quote:Funny, it's gotten less fun for me... you used to be more reasonable, but now... dealing with you is worse than ever. I've come very close several times over the past month or two to blocking you like DJ did...
But that's because I actually wish for debate while all you want to do is insult me, which you obviously find fun.
When it's the same debate we've been over a dozen times before, I'm not going to go through with it again.
Quote:As I've already described, that was my explanation I thought of after the fact when you stated your opinion... not something I conciously considered when first playing Baldur's Gate... I just played it and thought that it was great.
Congrats.
