I feel nothing but contempt for weak-minded fools like those who mindlessly bash a game for epeen points.
Who's bashing games? Personally, I've played every Bioware game from BG on, minus that Sonic thing though that's more because I dislike Sonic more than anything else. I've enjoyed the games, though not exactly in the same manner as most of the people here. KotOR is my favorite Bioware game while NWN and the BG games are probably my least favorite.
With the release of DA2 and the Witcher 2 fanboyism, these forums have become so polarized that almost every thread is riddled with arguments, backhanded compliments and snide comments. Personally, I am tired of defending games while running loops through circlular logic arguments and petty insults. Thus, I have created this thread to showcase the ridiculousness of it all. These are games, people. If you like them, great. If not, chalk it up to a bad experience and move along.
to be clear, I did not mean you, Zan. I meant the witcher fans who took every opportunity to diss bioware for bandwagon points. some witcher fans were more cool-headed about things than others, but I still feel anger and bitterness at them for their childish attempts to incite developer wars.
Once again, I feel the need to correct your blatant mis-statements. The people bashing Dragon Age 2, are Bioware fans. Some Bioware fans also like The Witcher 2 - and have contrasted the games on various levels. However, I have yet to see a single Witcher 2 fan, who is
not a Bioware fan at all, bash Dragon Age 2 and point out how much better The Witcher 2 is.
The people 'dissing' Bioware are doing so because they regard Dragon Age 2 to be an extremely low quality product - this has little to nothing to do with The Witcher 2.
So, let's be clear:
1)
Bioware fans chucked a huge hissy fit when Dragon Age 2 came out. They complained and moaned on every possible forum all over the internet for weeks. The disappointment was so much that the Metacritic score ended up being 4.3.
2) The Witcher 2 came out. For no apparant reason,
Bioware fans started posting a collection of 0/10 reviews for The Witcher 2 - perhaps hoping to convince somebody out there that Dragon Age 2 was better? Or perhaps they were just joking? Who knows.
So, please direct your comments at Bioware fans, not 'Witcher' fans - exclusive Witcher fans (who are not Bioware fans) have absolutely nothing to do with this.
