I think most people at XL Games and Trion want to make a long lasting successful game, but unfortunatley the people making the decisions are definitely going the cash grab route. What's annoying is that this game isn't any more p2w than it would be if the cash shop was entirely removed. Any...

Just went through newegg's cyber monday deals. A bunch of parts I wanted were listed, almost all were at prices at or higher than they were yesterday lol.

Impossible to know what the truth is. There could've been contractual obligations to release when they did. Trion could have a razor thin profit margin on everything so they couldn't spend as much as they needed on support. There could be a variety of political games behind certain fights and...

probably bullshit:

and yes I know I took shaky cam discussion and turned it into a quickcut rant.

I hate shaky cam and I hate short action cuts. Directors, cinematographers and editors use these tools to evoke emotion in the audience to help them with their story telling but in many cases I couldn't give two shits about the emotion their trying to evoke. In other cases when shaky cam and...

Yeah it's funny how their effort to future proof it just made it age faster. In some ways I feel like if they said, "We aren't using green screens or any CGI characters." they'd generate a ton of hype for the movie.

What turned me off on FarCry3 was it seemed like the individual challenges of go here, kill this animal, go here, do this silly thing got really repetitive and it was hard for me to just skip it and move on. Is it pretty much the same with FarCry4?

Nope. Rescheduled. I'll give updates when it happens though!

I feel like ZOS was worse, but maybe it was just the generally awful game that was TESO that was worse, and all the problems TESO had were just shit-pebbles on top of a shit mountain instead of annoyances that made an underlying great game even worse.

Yeah I think I'll never trust the security of an MMO developed for South Korea. There they have their accounts tied to their version of a SSN, and getting banned from one account can get you banned from all MMOs. People say it's easy to get other/fake SSNs for puppet/expendable accounts but I...

I think if it was there'd be instances of this before now. I am betting it was just a result of the crazy server issues.

Kyrios isn't even an option anymore... welp time to reroll boys! edit: Why doesn't my ArcheAge screen even have the right date?

They need to remake RDR for PC.

My wife downloaded a virus on my standin HTPC (which was my box 4 upgrades ago) when searching for torrents from bad sites. As punishment I want to put a linux distro on my HTPC. Any recommendations?

No idea. We were ready for a defense today but it seems like it'll be rescheduled. We're also back to 4+ hour queues.

BP: I want the hyper threading for work stuff. ah my mistake, I meant to link: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A - Newegg.com

Column asked me to put this in the amod thread but he can't post there so I'll put it here. To state my explanation more explicitly and verbosely, using the phrase "chimp out" on its own is not worth a 30 day rrp, but can provide the catalyst for a 30 day rrp if a poster has been particularly...

I'm using the EVO atm and am happy with it, I just specced the v300 over the EVO to save a few bucks. What's wrong with the v300?

I'm building a similar PC, here's what I'm thinking: General restrictions: I've never had an ASUS board and haven't been satisfied with my last ones (MSI, ASROCK, EVGA) so I want to try ASUS. I don't want any AMD products, burnt over my last Radeon purchase. I want a faster processor than...

GTX970 seems like an easy choice, but it seems like every card has bad reviews for coil whine, does that go away or what?

I'd like to build 3 new computers (2 gaming machines and one TV-driving media center), should I try to buy on Monday to take advantage of whatever deals exist? What is the generally preferred setup for a media center? Right now I'm using an old box with a wireless NIC and windows XP (lol). I...

hahaha

Yeah the original trilogy was able to use actors and dialog because it was good. I think the only good parts in ep1-3 were the action scenes. made ep1 worth it

There were some really cool parts to the Phantom Menace. The pod racing, fights with Darth Maul and even a lot of the droid scenes were $$$, as was seeing jedi operate in true form instead of the crippled version of Darth Vader/Palpatine we got in Ep 4-6 and the low budget padawan we got with...

I don't really know what I'd want out of a teaser though, so I can't really blame it for being forgettable. Ex: the skyrim teaser was about as forgettable as any teaser I've seen: But the actual trailer? It's one of the most exciting trailers I've ever seen for a game. Just watching...

I like the idea too and it fits, but IMO it's only valid if the movies express the idea. My biggest problem is jedis sitting in a luxurious facility in an incredibly wealthy planet-city and talk about, "Oh man this Anakin kid is going to bring balance to the force!". Where is the guy that...

hilt guard makes 100% sense. So would a lightsaber with a dynamic range controlled by the force lol. The teaser was just okay, which is acceptable for a teaser. It didn't really show anything interesting in it and could be summed up as, "we're making a star wars sequel."

Yeah Ollo is a very active server. There was a pretty big drop in activity 1-2 weeks ago when the apex dupe, tstruck trees in marketplace and the chest exploit happened close together and that caused a lot of serious players to quit, so I bet there's a lot of land being evicted atm.

Wife is getting close to the due date. I never spent a lot of time with a pregnant woman, but I always perceived their bellies as being smooth curves and round. My wife is clearly carrying a body inside her and it's rare that you can't tell at least one body part. I think she's supposed to drop...

Sorry if you stated which server, but which server is this? On Kyrios land expirations are still hotly contested.

Forget that, I just wait twenty years and get them on Good Old Games.

world's highest sustained strawberry picking!

What you say is true, however if a player only attempts to earn gold via: 1. farming (legal or illegal) 2. Running trade packs (buying the mats off the AH or farming themselves) 3. Fishing 4. Farming purses 5. Piracy. and that player only plays ~4 hours a day, labor generally isn't a...

I pretty much agree with everything you said more or less. Powerful AE is the #1 ability to cause players to disperse and while this game has some builds with good AE, the range on them and them being almost all PBAE isn't enough to really bring the dynamic that we saw in DAOC. And as the...

Yeah imprison is an awful spell. We use it to our advantage but it's just lame and boring.

I think I'll have to run the numbers again, let's see... 2 million health 1.5k dmg each 50% of my shots hit, so 750 average damage, so 2.6k shots, that's 133333 honor, plus 500 honor to purchase the weapons, let's say we purchase 50, that's 2261 honor each. Certainly not outside the realm...
