OMG a fucking sports derail; just when this thread couldn't get any shittier. I think I'm going to step out for a while

Anyone who has played SWTOR knows about the ability delay and ability not-firing debacle. I mean you pretty much have to not even remotely know what you're doing or how to play the game, maybe even any video game to not notice when you hit or click your spells it doesn't fucking fire for the...

Dammit I wanted to see some furry nipples.

And while we're on the subject of audio, here's some Copernicus other audio by Bill Mueller: and and

Some of it is good, but a few are kinda irritating imo. Really needed the live orchestral pass to make them shine. But don't forget that Rosenberg wasn't even the main audio guy; that was Aubrey Hodges and as far as I know the only thing we've heard of his work on Copernicus is the Main theme...

The Rise of Nations and other former BHG IPs are a separate lot from the Amalur IP, so its quite likely it will be bought up by a different entity. And although a shitty Amalur phone game is certainly not out of the question, I also believe you are correct in that EA would not let the IP go...

So my question is how hard is it really to implement a "hardmode" server? Same game, core assets, questlines, etc... but shit like the combat equations are tweaked for more difficulty, a different death penalty put in place, etc.. I understand that would be more resource intensive.. two...

You Sir, are

5.4 is almost certainly the last patch for Mists.

The way his work consumed him really tore him apart.

You could say his job was fueled by a real hands-on approach.

Just for the record, I'm usually a lore junkie. I have no problem with lore, lore videos, and other assorted lore-based marketing. Its just that these ES lore videos, esp that "bedtime story" one is fucking cheesy and lame as fuck with a sprinkle of creepy. Like its fucking retarded but doesn't...

Hey- I'm a weirdo and I didn't like the video either.

From what I've heard, Brett Close tried fruitlessly to talk some actual business and financial sense into Curt but was constantly dismissed. He saw the writing on the wall and left. So Curt hired a yes-man, err woman to replace him, Jen MacLean. In fact Curt hired lots of yes men, gave them...

Leave it to rerolled to rip this thread to shreds

Some jobs just really grind ya down.

KoA was a very successful game. The only reason it didn't make 38 Studios any money is because the deal with EA went down something like this: 38 Studios: Hey EA, please give us $15-20m and your guidance from the Bioware guys to finish Reckoning and you can, umm... have alll the profits until...

Well, it already gave him a heart attack: Curt Schilling suffered heart attack as 38 Studios venture was failing - Sports - The Boston Globe

Awesome.. a crisps derail! How about some chips? Best served with fish.

Wow I'm glad I watched that, now I know what friends lists are and why my previous ignorance was so awful. Now can somebody please explain to me what twitter is??

Yes, its pretty clear that Governor Chaffe shared culpability in the failure of 38 Studios, or at least their attempts to rectify the trainwreck: Former official says R.I. governor forced bankruptcy of Schillings 38 Studios - Business - The Boston Globe What he and R.I. still doesn't...

There has been a noticeable decrease in post quality and users ever since they loosened their signup restrictions.

If it was up to 99% of the Linux community, then yes. That's where Apple comes in.

Sorry to piss in your cheerios ZeniMax Online Studios

SteamOS in the end is a hedge. Steam as a client / platform will still continue to exist on Windows, Mac, & Linux. Even though SteamOS will have "apps" such as internet radio services, netflix, etc. it clearly is not meant to replace a generalized desktop computer. Really its meant to go in the...

Don't let her move in. It's far more trouble than its worth and you are almost certainly going to pay for it down the line when things go sour. If you still insist on co-habitating, then lawyer up and draw up a proper rental contract. Charge her no less rent than would be expected if you...

From what I've been reading, most if not all of the changes to Linux in SteamOS such as the graphics processing performance increases, the improvements on system input latency, and core audio performance will all be pushed back upstream which means you can also just run the Steam app in the...

So does anyone know where any good deals on Windows 8 or 8.1 can be had? I just couldn't be assed to spend the $40 at release and now its $100 or something for the regular edition. My Windows 7 install is a couple of years old now and starting to crumble so time for a fresh reinstall. Thought I...

Whether we see the MMO finished or the Single player RPG depends on who ends up buying it. EA will make Reckoning2, Nexon will finish the MMO but I don't see a single potential company doing both. There were some rumors at one point of SoE, Bethesda, and Take-Two talking with R.I. SoE is out...

My guess is that the Steam controller won't be good enough to replace the keyboard and mouse for competitive games like LoL et al. but neither will it suck at playing games like Arkham City. It will probably fall somewhere in the middle of doesn't fail at anything but masters nothing. Since...

I don't think the IP can or will be split between the MMO and the Single player RPG. It would cause too much headache for any two parties wanting to develop them seperately. Who own the IP then? All of Amalur I think will be sold together. The only difference is I don't see too many parties...

Then you'd see him posting here again.

From recent Rhode Island quotes, they expect to get "Tens of millions" of dollars from the IP. EA and Nexon are supposedly the top contenders. I wouldn't expect for the MMO to be completed if EA grabbed it for example. But they are sure as hell going to make a Reckoning 2 if they end up with it.

Marketing for Reckoning was great, stabbing skeletons aside. There were ads everywhere, lots of interviews, and EA threw their weight behind it as well with the whole Mass Effect tie-in. It was Copernicus for which the marketing department literally did not even exist.

Lol, yeah its pretty over the top. I'm supposing most of the guys who put Amalur together are in the lodge.
