It's tough to say how much Gearbox is to blame for the disaster that is DNF but yeah, ACM is one of the biggest frauds in gaming history. At least games like SimCity and Spore had all the best intentions.

Yes. I consider your group of people a protected species.

Everything I've said about the devkit2 is that they'll release them ASAP after they nail down the final specs of the consumer version 1 (CV1). It might be harder or more expensive to get a DK2 than a DK1 since the demand will likely be much higher and the window between DK2 release and CV1...

I dislocated my hip.

Like Dyvim said the memory allocation is a huge deal. Beyond that there are techniques to render the same model/animations very efficiently. Serious Sam was one of the better examples with this and rendered hundreds of high poly/texture models on old hardware very well. MMOs generally don't...

As a hardcore PVPer (and PKK when it permits) the kind of non-consensual "Let me go attack this guy trying to get back to this boss" is the lowest and most shameful form of PVP. Between warfare PVP (TESO's cyrodill), arena PVP (WoW's battlegrounds), resource contention PVP (We both need this...

Would you recommend someone who will almost certainly buy the game start now or wait until later? It seems really common for these indi games to release an early demo that is fun but has more promise than real content.

cool video on pursuit predator I never knew that humans evolved to basically jog down prey.

700 is a lot. When WoW had 700 people together for the AQ gate openings it was a disaster.

No doubt, but it'd create a market for skilled players. Plus on my server it was shameful to have to get someone to get your Rhok'delar or benny.

That looks really good. The common progression you'd see with people is that they'd go through very discrete steps when learning minecraft: 1. Learning the tools, materials, game, etc, building really shitty, very basic things with some artistic intent but no ability whatsoever. 2...

My good friend Heylel, before you pull the trigger on this very important purchase let me tell you of the longterm benefits of investing in moissanite.

That's a cool idea, thanks for linking it. I've long thought that solo-only tests should be integrated into MMOs. My ideal way would be to completely remove hard-set xp based levels and to have different levels of these types of tests players would pass to gain levels. It'd hopefully separate...

I think Intropy said it best when he told me that he liked survival mode in minecraft, because creator mode in minecraft was just a really bad 3d program. It's not that EQL is this great content creation tool that professional artists can use to generate content, it's a poor content creation...

You can't just teach art to people who have no desire or capacity for it. Same with math. And if the primary output of an engineer is powerpoint slides then he is probably miserable.

Why does the female character have spine curvature problems typical of women who hold babies on their hips too much?

Go to going away lunch. Be only one that orders a single beer. Beer ends up being 56 ounces. Buzzed as fuck coriolis is bullshit anyway. Acceleration is just 2 * 0.000729 * sin(annArbor) * linearVelicoty. Biggest problem is it's an very small angular acceleration on a vehicle that's on rubber...

The variable difficulty that comes with reward has a big presence on arpgs like Diablo3 and Path of Exile (Both those games have a system where you increase the mob's power level and get more chance to drop good loot. Path of Exile's is pretty involved and interesting). WoW kind of has this with...

Seems like they could generate a model for power level that includes soul level but also includes gear rating and really mitigate some of those problems.

Only way this story would have a payoff is if Ichigo kills Ishida.

The thing about the Bran storyline is that I'm not sure if there's going to be a payoff or if I care about Bran himself. The only interesting thing is that he's exploring a world far removed yet more knowledgeable than everywhere else. It's not that Bran or any character or storyline is that...

Definitely not getting wrapped up by Zombito.

Motherfucking Robots or something!! What I have to simulate and then handle tomorrow:

I can't imagine it being Halo.

Impossible to know what really happened. Formulating strong opinions is a waste of time. Hopefully he finds a place he can make good games in, and the people responsible for the excellent bioshock games should have no trouble finding work.

I agree with Kreugen. This community has gone over the impact of ONLY/primarily having difficult, group requiring content for leveling and I think there's positives and negatives to it. But if you're going to have easy and difficult content the difficult content should be rewarding enough...

Deciding what is and what isn't an MMO is too subjective for me, so my choice in these cases is to leave the thread wherever the thread creator made it at.

It's pretty fun if you like the GoT map and characters, just don't expect an experience much different from Mount and Blade Wardband + a few improvement mods. After playing Prophecy of Pendor pretty much all the M&B experiences a little lacking.

Pantheon is full of drama and derails, this one is pretty drama free and there's just nothing to talk about with the game.

Eh that ignores a lot of what happened. The result of Baratheon's Rebellion is that, Baratheon became king. Then things slowly went to shit and the game of thrones was played. I don't think it's known how much the war really helped empower the Tullys or the Starks, but I can only assume they...

Not sure what you mean. When this game hits beta this community will be playing SC. Right now the only thing you can do is jerk off onto virtual space ships you paid $100 for.

We'll see how elite turns out, but it's more than a single player campaign of Xwing and tie Fighter. It's much closer to Star Citizen in terms of scope and intent. It has online components very similar to SC in that it can be singleplayer or a persistent world. One big difference is that it...

Haha that strategy was always a coin flip, largely based on whether they could manage to get the oil pot built on top of us. I hate stacking in any circumstance and never understood why there is ever an AE cap. If I rain fire down on your head it doesn't matter if you have twenty dudes next to...

I wasn't there but I know what you mean. There have been some surreal moments in the warfare MMOs we've played. I remember in Shadowbane the entire server allied against us, organized by a guild that betrayed us. The planning for the inevitable bane and attack was done in a week in advance and...

Pics or it didn't happen! If I get a house I also plan on using a recliner-based computing system.

Ah yes the ole, "If you can't beat them, lag them out" technique.

uverse is solid where I live. I'm a very happy AT&T customer, though I wish they'd stop trying to get me to buy their tv service.

Nope! The inside is still birch. It has some stone patterns and some carpet mixed in, though.

Would be better if it took into account muscle mass instead of just height/waist/bmi.
