    That first Zelda game they showed just looks bad and I have zero hype for Hyrule Warriors

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think winter is here in the TV show yet. Unless they're completely getting rid of the white raven in the show. I can't recall if they've ever even talked about the white raven in the show.

    Yeah graphics are very unimpressive. For a second I thought they were showing N64 Starfox material lol.

    Varys is in Mareen now, though. Not sure if he'll be the one firing the crossbow. It sounds like he and Tyrion are the new duo over there. Also on that account it seems this show is now heavily focused on creating duos. Jamie + Bronn, Varys + Tyrion, Sansa + Reek ... I'm sure there are...

    I think most of the BL2 DLC is dynamically difficult where there is a starting level but the enemies scale if you exceed that

    I don't know why people are so gay for HD remakes. If you want to play the game just play it. Trigger is already on a plethora of devices you own one that will run it. Give me new shit not shit I already beat when I was 14 but with a coat of paint.

    Its basically what I said a while back. Richard knows how to code and make great software. He hasn't the slightest clue how to run and manage a company worth millions. This entire season was predicated on Richard and/or Erlich fucking up the business.

    Ah yes people like me are the problem. It isn't like the industry follows the money or anything and makes games which people want or anything. It isn't like this KS got absolutely no money. There is just so big a demand for this game the KS money counter must have rolled over and int...

    Octoshape (now DingIt) was a thing before Twitch really took off and it used P2P to distribute streaming video. But since PP has now gotten away from requiring a plug-in or downloading it's own player (that was the pre-pre-pre alpha) I'm not sure if it is using P2P anymore in the current form...

    The limit is 2. It is a carryover from the SC2 engine which only allowed 12 people in a game.

    Except its not. PP is now a complete platform being ran on a lossless compression algorithm that makes hosting and distribution costs negligable and allows for HD video streaming to 100,000+ viewers with servers located inside a garage. That is like saying "Oh that twitch thing will never take...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Eh they could fix it by not giving people like ZPs such a dramatically bad team. Like lets say he is rank 1+++ and when he gets a game it is with a bunch of 20's. Obviously that won't be better than 1,3,5,7,10. So maybe just realize he's in the top 0.1% MMR and give him like 5,7,9,10,12. If...

    Blizzard, at least AFAIK, has nothing akin to LCS for Hearthstone. I don't know if they have WCS for it or not. But regardless WCS pales in comparison to LCS. So if a company wants to advertise heavily like Riot did with LCS there is still a space for that I feel. But it is a huge risk.

    It may do wonders to just have a good LFG system that will auto match people wanting to do the same content. The issue with WoW is that it is cross-realm and just teleports you instantly. So there is no feeling of community. It could be 4 AIs it paired you with and you'd never know the...

    I really dislike the open walled "pod" style workstations. I get why companies do it. It saves money on space and makes it so your manager can hawk what you're doing. But the reasons they try and pull off of "collaboration" and "learning via osmosis" is actual bullshit. Its like they saw...

    Chu is fun because he doesn't try hard even in the least. He plays trash tier heroes more often than not it seems and doesn't take himself seriously at all. Grubby is probably the best tryhard stream if you're trying to learn how to actually play the game better.

    Chu isn't streaming or I'd be watching him. Chu is far more entertaining IMO.

    Rofl ZPs was playing Zeratul was given a bounty of $1/kill on the enemy Valla. He proceeded to kill her 7 times in about as many minutes and the Valla rage quit. -edit- and all the donations added up he made like $60 ruining that poor guy's experience lol

    I'd assume if you were hitting the main points it would be forced grouping, non instanced, no magic teleportation. But I still am curious if those things all sound good because we were 18 year old kids who had nothing but time on our hands so all this really immersed us in the world. I think...

    I like agile/scrum. However if you have a shitty manager, shitty requirements and a shitty product staff it can be really difficult to succeed. But if you have a groomed backlog, well developed and testable stories and things broken into appropriate sizes it can really make it easy to manage...

    Well MMO gamers are the crusty old men of the gaming world and QVC is targetted at the retirement home crowd easily scammed by "Buy now it is 99% off LIMITED TIME" So yeah actually True MMO is basically the silver plated commemorative 9/11 coin of this forum

    Quickly reading up it seems like UE4 can offer around 100 concurrent on a single machine. Which obviously isn't really enough for an MMO unless you have some really magic chunking to direct each chunk to a dedicated VM.

    It is probably because the big studios are using a hand rolled network layer. When you have to start from scratch much more can go wrong than using a fully vetted 3rd party to handle it.

    Well maybe I'll get a few hours of enjoyment out of it before stopping. For under a buck who cares. Also great recommend on Creeper World 3. The game wouldn't be on my radar at all and it is a really fun little game to pick up and play here and there.

    Yeah I don't know how good the canned networking is for Unity or UE4. I'd imagine it is at least workable, though.

    UE4 has some pretty cool demos out there using only Blueprints. Blueprints don't have any user written C++ behind them. I'm only on day 2 of even investigating UE4 so I'm not sure how the blueprint system works or any of that. Unreal Engine 4 Blueprint RTS Example Game - YouTube

    You need to know programming in the sense you need to be a competent programmer. Much of the complexities these days are abstracted away with the feature sets offered in modern game engines. I just downloaded and booted up UE4 and it is unreal (kek) just how much that platform does for the...

    Yeah with Unity and UE4 being such an easy platform to develop on being a game programmer has never been easier. You used to need to know all about physics, math and the most complicated parts of the C++ language to get by in that world. Anymore you just need to know how to use either Unity or...
