Obsidian crumbles at the first sign of pressure from their publisher to release. During the development of KOTOR, LucasArts kept pushing BioWare to release the game, but BioWare basically told them to chill out and it'd be released when it is ready. When it came time for KOTOR2, LucasArts tried the same thing with Obsidian and Obsidian went "YES MASTA PLEASE DON WHIP ME NO MO."

Obsidian is a good company with tons of talent but their titles are always pushed out the door too soon, and since other developers working with the same publishers don't have the same problems... I have to lay the blame with Obsidian"

Well, seriously, it really depends on what kind of gamer you are. If you do not care about multiplayer then you are 100% right in saying that the NWN 2 OC was infinitely better than the über shitty NWN 1 OC. If you are into modding and multiplayer, however, the situation is exactly reversed.

The only two games from Obsidian that I'm familiar with are Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2. Both of which I remember as being decent, but pale in comparison to the original titles.

So I guess you'd have nothing bad to say about guys like Hitler, Stalin, Bundy, etc. etc. I mean, after all, you really don't know them, and neither did most people so how dare they go around calling them names!

The fact that the movie has some unrealistic (or at least unlikely) scenes doesn't bother me at all...it's a movie not a documentary, nor does a claim to be a 100% accurate account of Army EOD personnel. It's a movie that is meant to entertain and IMO it succeeds greatly in this area. If some EOD soldier is disappointed by the movies lack of realism maybe someone should tell him it's not a History Channel documentary, it's a movie.

RT is looking at several reviews for a given movie, it's not "blindly jumping onto whatever critcis bandwagon is the most popular at the moment". That's the whole point of using several review sources and not relying on any particular one.

It was good...what do you like about it that would make you describe it as "awesome"? I thought Fight Club was much better, as far as Brad Pitt movies go. Is your opinion of the movie slanted because it's a Tarantino movie? Just wondering.

. I thought it was a great movie and very believable. For an EOD soldier that's disarmed 800+ bombs I don't find it a far reach that's he'd start to get a little comfortable in his job.

Do you honestly think the opinion of you and a few of your friends holds more weight than the opinion of dozens of reviewers on a website like Rotten Tomatoes? You do know what Rotten Tomatoes is right?

Even the movie for all the box office success it's seen doesn't have the best review scores in the world:

Haven't seen it myself, any of you guys like it?

Compare that to stuff like "The Dark Knight", "Iron Man", or "The Hurt Locker".

This game failed because it has limited installs. More Bullshit DRM killed this game for me. they can scratch their heads all they want but the DRM killed this game.

In the USA you can even be a satan worshiper and get prayer thrown out of school because of your own religion of atheism.

For sure, but I highly doubt they have the same "hands off" situation they did when under Sierra/Cendant/Vivendi (amazing still how many times that group of studios has changed hands over the years)

Please no one said they needed Crysis level graphics, though at least something current would be nice for once out of a blizzard game.
D2 sucked, War3 sucked, SC was great for its time but I'm not sure I want to play SC1 with slightly better graphics and pay 50 x 3 for the whole single player.

Its true because some blizard dev tells you so? lol

Its been 10 years since SC1 was released. They no longer have Blizzard North so I would imagine all the various "teams" are under one roof at this point.

It should not take 5+ years for EVERY SINGLE PROJECT they put out (which alone screams out poor management), hense why SC2's graphics look circa 2005. Much like Diablo 2's features at release (640x480 max res and all) were behind every other title at the time, expect the same here.

I mean hell its worked for Blizzard so far, great CGI, shitty outdated gameplay.

While I found Dawn of War 2 to be a great game, it was not as good as Starcraft for pacing, story, and it's ability to keep things fresh through varied styles.
