Well I figured that there were other nuances that might make it tedious (obviously switching engines would be a major one), I was just pointing out that in software, in general, you strive for that kind of re-usable code and programming languages are typically created with that in mind and give...

Not to nitpick here but... you absolutely can do this. It's one of the fundamental principles of Object-Oriented, platform independent programming languages. I'm not going to pretend I know a ton about what programming languages game designers use but you are dead wrong about most things in...

The show is really.... really bad. Not sure why Netflix even green lit this. The story has a lot of promise, but the dialogue and acting are absolutely awful. Some of the worst I've ever seen. The one saving grave is the music in the show is really good.

It is pretty fun. Original Alterac Valley was awesome (outside of the battles lasting days) until they castrated it (because of the battles lasting days)

Everyone around the globe knows about Curt Schilling's now defunct company. Oh wait, actually most people don't know shit about it.

The funny thing is you don't actually NEED a LFD tool at release. With the amount of players still levelling and the release rush it's easy enough to get a group by using standard chat channels. I wouldn't care if a game released without a LFD tool as long as it was planned for the first...

The Walking Dead is an atrocious TV show. I have no idea why it's so popular.

That was gut-wrenching... I was incredulous throughout the entire telling of what really happened.

Welp. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies Trollhunter Singham Yep. All three of those are awesome.

The funny thing is, this game is actually far more enjoyable a second time through because you know exactly how the combat system works and how to get around all the stupidity of the AI (for the most part) and pet collision (back out with Oliver's familiar and let the other two attack first, or...

Despite my earlier complaints I did end up finishing the game and ended up enjoying the rest of it once I learned I could skip all the cut scenes and just go back at the end of the game and watch them in the casino (seriously the amount of cut scenes and dialogue coupled with the "This is...

You're completely out of touch with what goes on in any team environment. You think they don't need 2nd and 3rd stringers who can perform drills to help the starters in practice? You think that just because someone can't perform a task at as high a level as the guy who is starting he can't add...

Daaaaaaang

You're probably a lot of fun to hang out with.

I guess it's worth double posting... Big gulps huh?

I dare you to find a scene that isn't amazing

I dare you to find a scene that isn't amazing

I don't really get why you guys think this will suck. Do you think Jim Carrey is over the hill? Do you hate Jeff Daniels' latest work? They are both still great. The fact that Carrey originally dropped out because it wasn't being taken seriously and is now back on board should say something...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Stranger Than Fiction. I really liked that movie, and it showed (at least to me) that Ferrell can actually act beyond slapstick humor. Oh and Zoolander was mentioned... but for Stiller... what about Mugatu?

The combat in this game is laughable. You're actually better off letting every one of your other party members die and just run around defending any boss abilities and waiting for a golden glim and casting spells with oliver. If you play that way every single boss is a joke and fights are...

Trade-offs and such. You've chosen a build that is "fragile" as you put it but allows you to kill from a distance. You chose that build, presumably, because you deem it safer than a build that is in melee range. Well that's the trade-off, those characters have a higher risk of dying. And if...

So my account was locked because someone tried to log in from China. Not exactly sure how that happened since: 1) I use a dummy email address with a completely different password than anything else I use passwords for when I sign up on gaming forums 2) I scanned and have no viruses or...

Any chance it was some sort of a weird rollback?

It's a clever build. So you don't do anything except for curse, and then replace %hp nodes with %es nodes. The first part makes it safe because you don't have to do much or stay in the danger zone for too long The second part is 6 on one hand, and a half dozen on the other, so saying "I...

Isn't that true for any game like this?

Are armor and evasion really that bad? Why do all the "pro" streamers concentrate so much on armor if that's the case? Molten Shell + high armor mods on gear. Chest pieces with super high evasion and armor are worth a lot more than their mediocre counterparts. Why if the stat is so underpowered...

This is how ARPG's always start off when there is a reset. It's happened in every ARPG I have ever played. Go defensive so you can stay alive in the harder difficulties until newer, better gear starts to flood the market. Top end pieces are always super expensive but it becomes easier and...

I wish I could play hardcore without the frustrating lag and rubberbanding I experience. I only play about an hour a day and at level 67 with max resists and 3400 hp (not sure what my armor is but I use molten shell and enduring cry) I still usually die once in that timeframe. I'll be...

I spent 120 alterations on an ilvl 68 imbued wand. Best roll I got was 37% (I was hoping to get a decent enough roll and then regal). I'm not saying the wand I lost out on was amazing. But comparitively, *decent* items are incredibly cheap compared to skill gems and even certain socketed items...

I did not read the entirety of this thread (the first two pages were mostly the same complaints I have) but I have to say... they pretty much write these shows to tailor to what a majority of people want to see. The audience and type of person that visits this forum is drastically more...

The economy in this game is so interesting. I just missed getting a wand with 18% implicit spell damage, 65% mod spell damage, 27-47 cold damage, 7% cold damage and one other meaningless mod. I offered 2 chaos, the guy sold it for 1 chaos, 1 alch just before I messaged him. That is SO much...

And this, in large part, is the reason we will never recapture the feeling and experiences we had in EverQuest. Though I think the driver is less about being lazy and more about keeping up with the jones'

I did not know that the vendors update their items after a level up. That is good to know, thanks!

3 color linked items don't trade for chromatics anymore? If that's true I'm guessing they just want chromatics to be worth more?

Not sure if this is true but I remember reading somewhere that they had planned on having 10 acts total eventually. If that happens I assume they will cut out the "extra" difficulties completely and just ramp up difficulty through acts (acts 1-3 are "normal", 4-6 are "cruel" with the -resists...

No I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I think it's a good approach. I like that when they re-evaluate something they feel is OP they take a moderate "nerf" approach instead of the usual knee-jerk nerf it to uselessness approach so many companies take.

I really like how GGG responds to "Overpowered" mechanics. Nerfing boss perma-stunning by simply adding diminishing returns to the effectiveness of Stun Threshold Reduction past 75%. Stunlock is still very viable against regular and even rare mobs and might even still be possible against bosses...

The distinct lack of Diddy Kong Racing mentions makes me think that nobody here actually played Diddy Kong Racing. It was basically the ballinest shit eva

That's why the currency system is top notch. You can pretty easily take that 2 socketed armor and turn it into at least 4 slots with jeweller's orbs, and you have a decent enough chance to make it 5. Of course linking those slots becomes the real problem but just getting the sockets isn't a big...
