These guys were wearing "Make Space Great Again" hats at GDC. I decided I would buy the game based on that alone.

So, I've been beta testing this all weekend, and my feelings are pretty mixed. To start off it has some of the best designed and highly polished classes/abilities of any team shooter I've ever played. This really goes a long, long way when it comes to a game like this since they are the focus...

I just got HBO Nordic and as far as I can tell it has all HBO original programming as soon as it is released.

It is almost entirely a cost vs. expected return issue. There likely aren't enough players willing to pay for what it would cost to make such a game to the quality level everyone seems to want, see project Gorgon for example. Also, I am curious, what is "fun" loot to everyone?

Yes, they were talking out of their ass, as anyone with even the remotest idea of how MMOs are made knew. It was obvious from the get go.

Do we really have to get into how Eve and SC are not even remotely comparable again? SC is much more like Battlefield than it is like Eve, so their theoretical max players would be around Battlefield (or maybe Planetside) numbers, assuming a ship is about as complex as a usual player avatar.

A chemistry degree is absolutely worthwhile. A biology degree is a little more mixed and really depends on how chemistry heavy the program/specialization is. A friend of mine double majored in chemistry/physics and then got a PhD in neurobiology, her program was tough and although the...

If they are interested in the subject Jon Ronson's book is a good read.So Youve Been Publicly Shamed: Jon Ronson: 9781594487132: Amazon.com: Books

I was hoping the game was good, because I really like new and interesting settings. There was also the chance for new and interesting mechanics. For this reason I've been following the console reviews, which were mostly positive. I waited for the PC reviews mostly to see how well it ran (like...

Also, getting back on topic, most PC reviewers seem to consider the game shallow, dull, and repetitive. Sounds like it is a skip to me.

As far as "brokenness" goes people have extremely rosy memories of the other TW games at launch. R2 was no more or less broken than any game since at least the original Rome. They are and have been enormous messes from the get go due to their complexity. Both Empire & Shogun 2 were smoking...

I am not sure what you are talking about, Diablo 3 and Rome 2 are best in series games for their respective franchises. And there is certainly nothing wrong with Hearthstone either.

I honestly don't know enough to comment whether it was priced appropriately. Who knows, maybe it was intended to be a non full priced budget title but when they saw how good it was they decided it was worth full price? Asset reuse is generally a decision you make early on for a budget title...

If it works and produces a good game I'd call that a smart use of resources. Why waste time and budget remaking shit you already have when you could instead use it to make new stuff. The budget is the budget, if that is spent on remaking animations and art assets then it isn't spent on...

It matters if you are going to build a workshop since the workshop gremlins can only affect adjacent tiles.

I caught it when it aired on NRK about a year ago. It is very good and one of the more compelling lesser known stories of the war.

One of my Grenadiers got Run & Gun... MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Haha, that is almost exactly what happened to me the other day when I rage-posted. I started a new game and am doing much better. I realized that moving to flank is almost never a good idea unless you've more than cleared the angle of attack. It is kind of a shame that the game pretty...

Like the first one this is probably the most frustrating game I've ever played. I know "it's xcom" blah blah blah. But I am getting pretty tired of doing really well and then hitting that one mission that just butt fucks you sidways. "Moderate" difficulty mission where the timer is like 6...

I am 100% on board with this. Crying wolf hurts real victims that need real help, I think that is why SJWs piss me off so much. The irony and injustice is staggering.

Meh, I don't think it is terribly accurate and is missing all sorts of questions about market regulation and social welfare. I should be way more towards the Authoritarian side, probably in the middle.

I am extremely disappointed in the game, and do not in any way recommend it. It is easy, boring, has extremely uninteresting gameplay, and absolutely terrible controls. The story isn't good, has terrible voice acting, and doesn't draw you in at all. The shipbreaking mechanic is utterly...

Alcohol is a helluva drug.

This is incredibly sad. Rest in Peace.

Looks like another one escaped the dairy, someone should check her tag.

Those were "highlights" ?

He'll use sledgehammers, maybe only those? Never tried to give him anything else.

We are specifically talking about combat, so non-combat play-styles aren't really relevant and are a separate issue. Part of the combat puzzle is how much of a resource you use to solve said puzzle, and if that puzzle is worth the cost. It is also about how you trade off different resources...

I'm convinced the systems design for the Elder Scrolls/Fallout games is done by Todd Howard and other producers. No designer in their right mind would make flat damage modifiers a standard legendary effect, it is just totally nonsensical. Like you said, either a PPM style system or simple a +%...

Sort of, what is difficulty exactly? If you think of combat as a puzzle, and game-play features as tools to solve the puzzle, then scaling damage and health are an excellent way to scale difficulty. I played as a commando gunner (no sneak attacking) on Survival and the game was quite...

Without going through the 18 walls of text bit by bit, Variise describing how they've been going about development shows me they're in way over their head. Whatever it is they get out, it will by the end have cost several times what it should have due to poor scope and project management.

I somehow managed to play 90 hours in the past week on a single character (while working full time), and still haven't completed the main plot. I've barely slept at all and now I am losing my grip on reality...

There are plenty of educated critiques to level atspecifichypotheses that deal withspecificclaims, but Mist isn't doing that. She entirely dismissing the core concept outright, which is in effect dismissing how evolution shaped us. Our brains evolved like every other part of us, our brain...

That is because god totally created humans 6000 years ago as we are today, right? You are so full of shit you can't even bother to readWikipedia, let alone the countless books on the subject, its numerous testable hypotheses, and the results of those tests. I know you creationists son't like...

Does anyone know if the Heavy Gunner perk stacks with the Commando perk? I would think that it doesn't, but who knows with these things.

There was just a post about the workbench breakdown bug in Reddit, it appears that it might just be a UI bug. The components are actually workbench in the inventory, for example you can craft an item using the now leftover components, but they don't show up in the inventory screen if you look...

What's the link to "her" Tumblr blog?

You seriously, as usual, don't know what you are talking about. Objectification and dehumanization are different things. You can dehumanize a human because they are a human, but you cannot dehumanize an animal because they aren't human. You can howeverobjectifyan animal, because they are not...

Ah well, thanks for the help, only 8 hours anyway.

Sounds to me like you don't know what objectify means. It means you treat a person as an object... not apictureof a person (object), or avideoof a person (object), or acharacterin a story (object), or adigital puppetthat looks like a person (also an object). You can't objectify something that...
