*reads article*Oh... adog.Still disgusting, but easier to wrap my head around than a girl fucking a marshy lowland; on the basis of the mechanics, if nothing else.

*shrugs*it's not like Lucasarts' record was particularly stellar. Who knows, the games might actually get a little bit better.

If you mean the fight with the dragon, then no, that's not the end, and that's when all the drakes and wurms start popping up.

Do you really think Sandler has that kind of range?

You might want to take a look at some of the other articles being linked on that site...

The song did show up in the Blackwater episode (I think), and was linked with the Lannisters, but I don't think the show's actually explained the song's full meaning, so I don't think too many people will figure it out from that.

Keep shifting stuff into your pawns' inventory, and remember to always dump the crafting materials into storage whenever you go into town. Also, keep an eye on the notice board quests you take on; some of those quests will reward you with things like 40 war bugles which will just pop into...

Well, yeah, free form spellcasting is never going to work in an mmo, but I think they could pull off something reasonably satisfying with a sufficiently comprehensive list of premade spells, especially if they focused on creating spells with non-combat applications. It's good to see some...

I don't even have hbo, and I'm content to wait for the blu-rays, but yeah, knowing the Red Wedding is coming this season, I'm having to keep a close eye on the threads here. The no-spoiler thread is going to be priceless.

Indeed; if nothing else, this Storybricks stuff lends some credence to the idea that SOE is shooting for a legit sandbox, and not just WoW2 with a few token sandbox elements.

I haven't heard much in the way of ps2's f2p model being terribly restrictive; and while eq 1 and 2's, and vanguard's, were, iirc they've taken steps in all those games to loosen the restrictions they place on free players. So EQN's f2p likely won't be nearly as onerous as one might expect by...

Yep. If Smed hasn't flat-out said that the game is f2p (I'm blanking on whether or not he has), he has, at minimum, very strongly intimated that that will be the case. On to the Storybricks thing, a quick look at their site shows they're trying to make an improved ai; does anyone happen to...

I imagine he's talking about how the 2nd amendment could be read as being contingent on militias being a necessary part of our military power, which they no longer are.

I may have to pick this up for the epic nostalgia value; Castle of Illusion was the very first video game I ever played.

Oh, I'm not saying it means we're guaranteed some incredible game, or anything like that, just that it does raise the chance of getting a game that's decently fun a little, compared to if the team was going into this with no prior experience in this kind of game.

Evidently, one of the guys in charge worked on the Prototype games, so at least there's some experience there with open world superhero games, and they're still using the engine from Arkham City. It gives me pause that it's not Rocksteady, but it's too early to be despairing just yet.

-it's Everquest -it's a sandbox -we'll be getting a full reveal in August -it will have destructible environments -they've talked a lot about the idea of 'emergent gameplay' -they've recently hinted at some sort of class changing or multiclass system -in terms of numbers, classes are going...

He didn't cut them off for that particular act of smuggling, it was for all the other ones that Davos had done in his life.

That's pretty much it. If I remember correctly, the premise is supposed to be that Abstergo's figured out how to essentially upload a person's genetic memory into their servers, and let anyone experience it with an Animus. So, you're supposed to be playing a random low-level Abstergo...

Hopefully they'll make the class changing fit into the world better than that. I actually kinda agree with what the GW2 dev said on the subject: your character's class helps to define where your character fits into the world/the lore, and letting you just bounce around from one class to...

Yeah, it does sound like some sort of multiclassing or class change is in the cards. The language he used when talking about how sandboxy EQN will be is also interesting: him talking about there not yet having been an MMO that truly let you do anything in the game world, that was truly an...

Hmm... On one hand, Garriot may have a point; on the other hand, hedidjust hold up Peter Molyneux as an example of a great game designer, which does rather call his judgement into question.

I semi-recently found Nox on gog.com, and that's held up pretty well. The single player campaigns are a little on the short side, but I'd still say it's my personal favorite Diablo Clone.

I want to say it was either the Dominicans or Fransicans that were heavily involved in Spanish colonization, but don't quote me on that. The Jesuits were heavily involved in the French colonies, however, and actually had a decent record of legit conversions of the natives compared to others...

Yeah, it is pronounced with a y sound. Eh, maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention, and I only catch it when it sounds like they're saying earl (although, I have noticed that the guide information on Dish does refer to him as the Earl, so at least somebody's doing it).

It's a stupidly minor detail, but am I the only one who gets bugged a little by them calling the ruler an 'earl' rather than a 'jarl'? I mean, sure, it's not like they're using any other Scandinavian terms to make the absence of the word jarl particularly noticable, but it still bugs me. I...

I haven't played since the Odus expansion, so this may no longer be the case, but I recall having had four hotbars on my wizard: two for combat spells, one for buffs, and one for clickies and utility. Your call if that's few enough, but there you go.

Here's a cyclist-related jimmy-rustling: When you're driving on a road that has an extra-wide bike lane, like where three or four cyclists could rise abreast without spilling out, and yet you have the lone cyclists who feel the need to ride on the dividing line, so you still have to swerve...

Evidently someone's got their hands on the print article from GI;Linkto a summary of the info from it. Comparisons being made between Thief and Dishonored are inevitable, but you still would've thought they'd start by showing off a level other than the brothel level.

Yeah, if it's having a permadeath server, then sure, go nuts; if it's something he's talking about as a core element of gameplay, then it gives me pause, although I'd want to get a better idea of the big picture before passing judgement on it.

Along these lines, an idea I had for a sort of conceptual framework to build a sandbox MMO around would be to take the Bartle player archetypes, plus the addition of a builder/crafter as a fifth archetype, and building complete gameplay spheres around each of them. Crafters build cities...

Just got announced over atGameInformer. No real info yet, but that'll be coming over the course of the month.

Now that it's been officially announced, there's a bunch of articles online about it. Part of theIGNarticle caught my attention: So we might actually be getting back the ability to plan out the assassinations ourselves.

Wasn't bad, and it's nice to see the History Channel airing something that could, even loosely, be called "history". Maybe it'll start a trend.

It's also part of the reason Smedley's been talking about emergent content in interviews. Yeah, it's practically impossible to keep people from running out of content without making progression feel unacceptably slow for a lot of people, which is why, while they should be trying to get players...

I'd say the problem with AC1's pacing wasn't that it had the whole 'gathering intel' thing, it was that gathering intel was both intensely repetitive and made up 80% of the game. If they took the format of the later games, but had an information-gathering segment before each of the major...

Open-world cowboy simulator?

I'm on board for Pirates Creed. However, am I the only one who'd like to see the actual assassinations go back to something like the AC1 model? I actually liked the feeling of collecting info on your target, and using it to plan out your attack. The actual means of collecting the info...

What really depresses me about warhammer, is that what you describe was basically what the previous Warhammer Online developer was trying to make, before the license got yanked and given to Mythic. They were making this dark gritty sandbox game, that basically read as though they were trying to...

I do definitely prefer the one hotbar system over the five-to-nine hotbars of the WoW-derived model. However, my personal ideal would be a game with two hotbars: one devoted to combat abilities, and one for non-combat utility (which would, of course, actually require the game tohavenon-combat...
