    Fallout 4

    I'd love it if BGS went to their Daggerfall routes and made cities/towns even more procedural. Make it such that every town that starts is essentially the same as a player built town with some NPC "owner". The player could then either take over that town, raid it or completely demolish it. The...

    I just figured he meant in regards to a notional massive space battle occuring in SC.

    For me it's not a question of trust. It's a question of truth.

    Sounds like Furry can easily win this argument by providing evidence that the devs have indicated server CPU, rather than bandwidth, is the primary issue with Eve's handling of large amounts of ships in a dense area.

    agree 100% with everything you said. I don't follow it closely but everytime I hear of player caps the reasoning CiG peddles to the koolaid drinkers is, "Our models are so incredible you'd need a $2000 machine to have more than 45 ships on your screen at once.". I call shenanigans on that...

    She's decent for a nerd producer, but I always felt like she has the right kind of face for a sci fi chick. She's like Miranda Lawson's less attractive sister.

    Re: the player caps, instancing, manning ships etc. It'll all work out in alpha when people actually get to enjoy the game and as long as CiG is open to changing whatever napkin design they have now they'll tweak it just fine. ArcheAge has similarly sized ship encounters and it's pretty fun...

    The small size per zone is a bunch of bullshit. Their reasoning was that their shit rendered so hot people's PCs couldn't handle it, but I call shenanigans on it. It's probably server-side pussy-footing. Personally I think massive space battles are awesome, but I can respect Chris Roberts for...

    I always felt like the opposite was true. It'd be better for gamers if the funding between the two franchises was more even, IMO.

    Virtual Reality

    I don't think OVR has said it won't be, but I imagine they'll drop compatibility with the DK2 as soon as they can. Not only should they not spend any effort or money ensuring backwards compatibility with a devkit, but they really don't want people running around using what will be a vastly...

    I think the bigger question for the whales isn't whether they will be able to dominate people like me out the gates but rather whether the released form of Star Citizen matches the vision they had when they broke out their check book. Like Mist says this is still mostly a PVE game, but it is...

    Yep. Skipping through that I'm wondering, "Who wants to do any of this shit?" Rule #1 of making a game, it has to be fun. Not all the time, but it has to be generally fun.

    Maybe. Or i poop sock and get a better ship in two weeks after PU release and destroy whales who bought an under powered ship.three years before releqse. Really it depends on how much p2w they have post release. Most whales will keep shelli g out cash for a competitive edge and as long as...

    Im not even sure if there will be a real mmo aspect to this game. I still feel like the PU will be more like freelancer multiplayer. I guess we will see in two or three years.

    Really cool star map. One of the best I've seen, easily beats ME and Spore. I haven't played ED though. ARK Starmap | Roberts Space Industries

    Why does Oldman's character look a few years younger than him, and sound 20 years older? edit: The admiral bishop thing cracked me up.

    The Flash

    Really enjoyed the episode. I don't understand why Henry Allen jetted out from a in-character or meta perspective. With Dr. Wells gone there is a bit of a void that I thought Henry Allen could fill, and John Wesley Shipp stole every scene he was in.

    I'm glad they moved on. The tension between the team members is yawn worthy. I hope the gravestone is Laurel. She contributes nothing to the show and never has. Diggle needs a new helmet. Going from Deathstroke to Raz and then to Damian is a step down, but Neal McDonough is a great actor so...

    Yes you do. I've seen.. things... you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched fireballs eminate in the dark near the Tannh?user Gate... All those... moments... will be lost, in time, like... tears in rain. The biggest problem I had was the camera shake...

    Sure, it might slip. They're trying to mass produce a new product that is full of brand new parts. I doubt it'll slip beyond Q2 though. And as we approach the CV1 release the value, support and available experiences for the DK2 will probably continue to diminish because no one will want to...

    Virtual Reality

    Bottom line: Like I said before, if you want to get in on VR as a user, just wait for CV1. Right now the user experience is subpar because the SDK is constantly changing, so you can't easily run through all the historical demoes and games that folks are playing.

    Virtual Reality

    There's primarily three things that cause VR sickness (not motion sickness!!): technical errors, design issues and a disconnect between what you see and what you feel. The technical errors are numerous and VR experiences getting even one of the following elements wrong are enough to turn...

    Fallout 4

    I couldn't care less about what they say for the specs for Bethesda games, because it's going to be dominated by mods. The big takeaway? You're going to need a lot more VRAM than other games because of A: ULTRA HIGH textures from amateur/undergrad artists who don't care how your game...

    I declare Hodj the winner due to a_skeleton_03 not even attempting to find fraud at this scale. He could've at least tried to dig up some climate nonsense. Let's move on to Parkinson's Spoons. Is this risk of shaky obese people too high to allow this technology to proliferate?

    If either of you had any idea of what you were talking about, could make a coherent argument and have confidence in your argument you wouldve been able to state your case and win in a single post instead of jerking each other off over several pages. Either way the floor is open to closing...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Only took one post to back off from the absurd notion that "The only role of a tester is to emulate the customer". I don't know what to say to that other than you probably don't even believe that statement or think of testing in such meaningless terms that any use of the product is emulating the...

    I agree with Skanda on #1. Regarding motion sickness, it's not a binary thing like driving, boating or even roller coasters where someone 'gets sick when I sit in a car and read', it's a continuous spectrum of sickness that depends on what you're doing in the game and whether everything is...

    Re: Vats, one thing that Project NEVADA did was make it so you could engage bullet time at the cost of whatever the VATS resource was. You could also sprint using that resource. So it was essentially a mana bar. The bullet time worked like in Max Payne, and gave you the advantages of VATS...

    Yep. A big dreamer gets 100 million dollars and no bean counters are above him to whip his ass. The other, more insidious part to that is that unless this thing gets widespread adoption far beyond the 1 million backers it has now, it's possible they are making more money than they will...
