K, sounds like I'll just buy an X360 controller "for windows" or whatever, if that works best. Makes sense, since they're both Microsoft. What is it that you guys think is inferior about the X360 controller? It has the same functionality (other than six-axis tilt shit), right? Same...

Also, what Muligan said about travelling with someone brings up a good point. If you let them, people will play these games for ALL SORTS of reasons. So give them reasons to do it. I know a ton of Druids, Wizards, Bards, etc who would just exist to facilitate other people's convenience via...

Some people are quoting P99 as some sort of useful point against the old design (open, non-instanced, etc). What they're forgetting is that it's not at all the same, since every nook and cranny, mechanic, anything and everything about the game was 100% known at that point, by anyone and...

Yeah, where it says "Connected game controller(s)" mine just doesn't have one, says "awaiting connection" or something similar. Couldn't figure out a way to get it to recognize it.

I did install MiJ but it's not very user friendly from what I can tell. I can't even tell if it recognizes my controller or not. Mine is supposedly a Logitech DS3 controller. It has a Logitech badge on it, but strangely has the buttons labeled with Egyptian gobbledygook instead of the normal...

Oh, I guess I need to qualify that it needs to be wireless capable. Is there a good solution for making an X360 controller wireless on a PC?

This seems like as good of a thread as any to ask a question I've been meaning to ask: What's the best solution for a gamepad for the PC? I have a wireless (USB) PS3 dualshock Logitech thinger that I bought for my PS3 awhile back, and I've tried using it. It seems to work ok, but there are a...

Oh man, stuff worthy of mapping on graph paper would make me wet. I really miss those days.

And yet, classes/skills/talents etc changing constantly is a relatively new thing. That shit didn't happen nearly as often in EQ, they were quite comfortable having unique classes with strengths and weaknesses, and some classes having anemic player representation. Then along came WoW, where they...

Tanks ARE fun to play, I love them. And considering only roughly 1/6th of the playerbase (or quite a bit less, given some people like soloing, non-combat, etc) need to be tanks, then it kind of works out that you, and others, don't like them.

God, Electro looks like shit.

I don't get the complaints about having to learn the fights. Most of this board has enjoyed progression raiding in an MMO at some point, isn't it basically the same thing? Try shit, probably die, and eventually learn what you need to do? There's even the analogous "how to" youtube videos if...

That brings up a good point. Is there a good source for not-shitty let's play type videos? Most of the ones I've come across involve some idiot spouting nonsense that he thinks is funny throughout the video.

Just finished it. Honestly took me some willpower just to do that, I lost interest about 1/3rd of the way through. Another couple of things that make this a vastly inferior game than the first: As is typical with bigger budget type AAA shit, they went BIG AND EPIC with it, fucking Michael Bay...

I always just plink those guys down with my bow. A zillion times. Because I can't fucking beat O&S for the life of me.

Sounds like you need to look into what exactly patent law is. In short, a patent-holder actually MUST pursue any infringement or they lose their patent. That said, using time travel for something so mundane is gay.

I enjoyed it. Several moments had me rolling. Overall, though, it didn't feel better than the first, or even equal, but it's entirely possible that perception would change with additional viewings.

I don't mean direct corporate interference, I mean the overall prevailing mentality of any big studio to treat these as revenue streams and not fucking GAMES. Which is a business executive type of mentality, and not a game designer mentality. These issues are a direct result of that shift in...

Well, maybe it's the issue I said with being hard to articulate, but you're not getting what I'm trying to say. None of what you mentioned about BS1 is the same type of thing I'm talking about. You're lumping anything and everything that's a minor facet of "FPS gameplay" and using it to rebutt...

Yeah, pretty much all of this. Bioshock 1's gameplay (while not STELLAR) was solid enough, and felt ... correct? Infinite, on the other hand, feels artificial and soul-less in the way it's laid out in a formulaic way and such, as you mentioned. And yeah, the skyline stuff felt gimmicky and...

Well, that's just like, your opinion, man. As what I'm saying is partly just mine. I replayed Bioshock a year or so ago, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. I also enjoyed the FPS gameplay much, much more than I'm enjoying Infinite's FPS gameplay. I know for certain that the reason...

What Vorph said, and I'm about as far from hipster faggot as you can get.

Ninen- As mentioned in my first post, sir I-don't-really-care-to-read-apparently, I had high hopes due to Ken Levine's direction, as well as most of this thread (although I guess that could have been incorrect memories). But alas, my hopes were misplaced, as they are now with many other...

Yeah, that's kind of my point. If the denizens of this forum think this game is worthy ofanycritical acclaim, then I'm probably just fucked for the foreseeable future. I mean, I don't care what this game did well, if anything. When it's got glaring issues so large as completely lacking FPS...

The first half of your post goes without saying, of course I know that there's nothing wrong with interactive stories. I love most Telltale games. Although I'd disagree heartily that Planescape or Portal belong in this category. I only used that term because it's the closest thing to what...

I guess the comments weren't properly worded then, because I came away with the impression that it was still a good/solid game. There's no excuse for these modern day interactive stories or whatever you want to call this shit the industry is churning out these days. I want to play games, not be...

I may. But likely not, because patronizing these fucks further for another 2 hours of content is fairly counter-intuitive.

Finally getting around to playing this (vanilla) after getting it on a steam sale. Hugely disappointed. I had figured this would be solid given what I understood of the creator (Ken Levine?), but nope, it got AAA'd to all hell. Linear bullshit with zero meaningful choice, and the two-weapon...

Who knows, if those Baldurs Gate remakes do well, maybe we'll get some other old games remade too. Lord knows these industries FUCKING LOVE THE REMAKES OMG! I'd buy a remake of X-wing, TIE-Fighter, and all that stuff in a heartbeat.

Granted, I probably had plenty of other things I could have called attention to. But yes, I went with that, because that's the thing that stood out the most from this completely uninspired trailer for a mediocre rehash of a great franchise/concept that deserves a great game, and not the pile of...

How can a board of gaming nerds not know it's "dwarves" and not "dwarfs?" Fucking Christ, people.

Oh good, the explosions are even more fiery than the movies! I really hope they devote enough dev time to making that fire look as realistic as possible.

Likely to make you more likely to buy gems to convert to gold bags or whatever? Fucking micros.

That actually looks pretty awesome. Nice idea to keep it going.

Or, you troll everyone casting a black African as the whitest of the Norse mythos.

Maybe Apocalypse 2016 means Fox will asplode in that year and Marvel will get all these rights back. I can hope, right?

Thread disappoints. I thought it was an upcoming game, and they had finally cut the shit and were just calling the game what it was.

It was good enough for me to laugh out loud upwards of 4-5 times. This 3-parter competes for their best ever IMO.

So I missed that one session due to my birthday, and this hasn't happened again since, and yet I'm not really feeling like I'm missing out. I was all psyched to play a P&P type thing again for the first time in over a decade, but I think I'm just not at all enamored by the Savage Worlds game...

Well, they used the tesseract to create weapons and shit in Cap'n 'Murica. I still don't get how that thing was supposed to be the Mind gem when it was just powering random weapons with uber-destuction power, but whatever. I don't nit-pick these movies too much, this whole Marvel franchise...
