    Nobody has that privilege. But being held accountable to making shit up, in this case, is being publicly humiliated and if it's bad enough an infraction from me. All communities in human history recoil at the sight of a newcomer coming in and fixated on promoting a product they think isn't...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    There is also the monkey summon the third had. I can only assume every animal is on the table for sage powers. You guys just need to keep in mind that the universe and abilities are just a plot device for a kids comic book.

    We got married at age ~25 after 5 or so years of consistent dating. I guess only time will tell if she or I go through that phase but I'm not going to worry about it.

    It's just a guess. And my concerns for a 90 day campaign are the opposite of, "I don't know if we can win for 90 days.", it's more that I'm afraid we'll fight hard for two weeks, win uncontested for 30 days and get bored.

    Dark Souls 2

    Dark Souls is the kind of game where you can have a ton of fun playing it and fighting through the game, then once you beat it go online and learn more than twice what you already knew about both the lore and the tactics in the game by just breezing through the wiki and watching a few vids...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    We'll see how it goes. Right now the PVE in TESO is so bad I can't imagine them being able to create a decent end-game PVE system like they did for the warfare PVP system. Who knows, maybe they'll hire someone who knows wtf is going on and can salvage a PVE endgame out of it, but I doubt it...

    Signati how many copies do you think TESO will sell in the first month and how long before it goes F2P?

    More than you'd want to lug around. 1ct is $275. 5ct is $1500. Loose Moissanite Stones : MoissaniteCo.com, Fine Moissanite Rings and Moissanite Jewelry There's no need to worry about the color or clarity. Moissanite gems are all the same perfect stone. Thanks to my tutelage my wife has...

    For every one post you see from a professional shill there are hundreds made by people who just look forward the game but regurgitate the PR speak so much they look like shills.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    As best as can be done in an MMO trying to copy WoW and SWToR as much as possible with few talented developers or management. A persistent Skyrim multiplayer server with ~1000 people in it would still be an MMO but would be much more fun and long lived. The saving grace of TESO is the PVP...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Cool. Maybe Kingdom Come will get some of that sweet, sweet Star citizen money. Perhaps they'll make the horse armor DLC from Oblivion look like a freebie!

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    If Bethesda and Todd Howard were making TESO this would be true. But the TES franchise is definitely being pimped out in this game and it was apparent from the first bits of information that came out about this game that showed they were keeping TES in name and lore only.

    Irrational Games being shut down

    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.

    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...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    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...

    Dark Souls 2

    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...

    Banished

    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.

    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...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...
