Hm, yeah, DA2 does feel Obsidian-esque in its scope.

Obsidian would never make a game as bad as DA2. 8)

I actually still haven't gone back to New Vegas after the absolutely terrible conclusion to the Benny plotline killed my interest. It was such a good game up until I walked into that fucking casino! :(

It may or may not be concluded, depending on what you did. What happened?

I talked to him briefly and then Veronica punched his head off. The End. I know it can possibly continue if you let him live but that means I have to intentionally act stupid for the whole point of the player's journey not to end in two seconds and get replaced by a talking robot dictator.

Just overall I liked my cross country journey to get to Vegas a lot better than going out FROM Vegas on gopher trips.

Even Kotor2 is better than DA2. I don't even know why I say "even" as kotor2 is not Obsidians worst product(SoZ takes that dubious honor).

I'm playing bulletstorm. Pretty cool arcade/shooter hybrid. Don't think there's enough meat to it to really last the whole game though. I'm still 2 chapters to go and I'm kinda desensitised to most of the combos, especially since a lot of them can be really random.

Ah okay. Yeah I killed him there too. I was all right with it, but then I knew the whole road trip to Vegas was just the setup.

I would like to inform you that many different metrics of quality exist. That's all I'll say about that matter.

Dragon Age: Origins has me in it's grasp. It's kinda cool seeing characters from a previous run in a slightly different context. I have neither the will nor the want to play all the classes. I can see how others might however.

Sorry Crysis 2, you'll just have to wait a couple of more days.

Heh, I think I said pretty much the same thing after my 3rd playthrough of Origins, I've played it 7 times all way through so far.

I'm glad you like it though, I think a lot of people didn't realise how much they liked Origins before DA2 came out.

Seriously?
Thumbs up for dedication I guess.

Yep, I enjoyed it! I didn't play 7 times one after the other though.

I might keep DA: O installed, and when I want to replay a game I'm familiar with as I do again and again , instead of Borderlands, Just Cause 2 etcetera, I'll play a different class in Origins. :)

As one of the people working on TSLRCM I obviously disagree with this statement.
And let me add that I think FNV is the worst OE product. Then again, I haven't played NWN2 or X-packs.

As fun as Painkiller?

Obviously have to wait for a patch or 4, since People Can Fly is known for their fun, buggy games, but also releasing plenty of patches.
Can somebody tell me how I can get a custom avatar?
