your just going from the date that the game was announced on... the time it was actually worked on was much longer. If you pick six games at random from gamespot you can probably find news about those games starting a year before their release. Development would have had to go on much longer than that to actually have somthing newsworthy. And yes, Valve was working full time on HL2 for at least four years while keeping counterstrike updated.

What does that mean? Im not familiar with MMO-lingo. And what should I have chosen if I want to be a corruptor that just spams damaging things on the enemy? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> fire... and Anchoring is actually City of specific in that the Radiation secondary you have has a power that will attach to it's target and cause a significant debuff to the surrounding enemies. it also generates craploads of agro. Fire is the NUMBER ONE damaging powerset... for your secondary? Traps maybe? it's got some debuffs buffs and other tools of the trade (I think tripmine is in that one) that allow you to solo easier.

and not scare off newbies with cruel and aggresive posting in their "hello" topics or after their initial posts?

... I'm sorry OPG but your deluded... the one year development cycle was HORRIBLY short and is the reason why most of K2 is unfinished. NWN2 has been in development for close to two years now. Final Fantasy has been going for two MGS4 will be running for I think about 4 years by the time it comes out. Warcraft Three was in development for close to 5 years Superman returns had a dev cycle set for (I think) a year and a half but that's been delayed. Fable was extremly long Prey has been worked on in various forms for close to fourteen years. Halflife two was going for 6 years (plus Delays) and Force Unleashed probably won't be out until winter '08 spring 09. the only ones that have a year long dev cycle are those that are either A) buggtastic B) using the same basic concept and engine consistantly (read most sports games and Dynasty Warriors) or C) games that don't require alot of changes to make work (lego star wars II.. uses everything like it's predecessor except with a few cosmetic changes and new level design)

Yeah... it's just there are SO MANY on drivethru (had a pair of customers actually hit eachother's car becasue the one in front was boneheaded and didn't notice the first dt window... and a couple of days ago we had sombody who drove up to the first sign to place an order... but was talking on the phone and didn't roll the window down for five minutes... or the person who stopped their truck to place an order without killing my ear, then spent six minutes trying to start it again (this is the worst because we are timed) the list goes on and on and on) well at the franchise stores (my owner holds 7 stores) there has been one person who got run over by a vindictive customer. One store got a thing of gas tossed in it's lobby (they found the guy and charged him with terrorism), and at our particular store there was a lady who chucked her food across the counter at the crew yelling "theres a hair in my food!", we had one of the franchise managers there who responded by accusing her of aussalting him (the food had hit HIM in particular).

on your map there should be a green dot marked "Port Oaks Ferry" you take that to port oaks... then go to the dot marked "Rogue Isles Ferry" and when you get there you select Cap Au Diable from the list of destinations and when in Cap look for the Marker for "tailor" (it looks like a shop) But remember... you have to pay to change your costume (unless you have one of the ever plentiful tokens (my main has about 17 right now because I don't change his costumes)) Personally I prefer the brutes to the corruptors... more smashy less "run away like a little girl because I have no life" the easies of the brute power selections is SuperStrength/Invulnerability as SS you have some fairly good attacks and Invulnerable is pretty good at resisting anything (except for Psychic damage :shudder:) radiation is designed primairly around debuffing your opponents. Just keep that in mind and Don't "anchor" your target without letting the brute take agro (if you stay with your character.)

Some of the things in COV are interesting: The last Strike force you can pull off is more of an endurance trial for everyone... You fight EVERY SINGLE member of the Freedom Phalanx (think the ubermasters of good... or the JLA) one right after the other with no slow down in between. I take it you played a rad/rad corruptor? (and for the record you can't use a claymore in COV... only OH)

:sigh: getting sick and tired of working at McDonalds... as far as the other crew is concerned I'm just the guy who fills any position in service if theres a need. It gets repetetive when all you do is take orders during lunch (106 cars for about one hour) and cap drinks... Getting yelled at by customers is always fun... for example: 10:30 is when we end the breakfast menu and only serve lunch. Guy comes in at 10:35 today and asks the girl on front counter for somthing from breakfast... She goes and asks a manager if we're still serving breakfast (10:30 is more of a guidline for the crew but allows us to stop anyone cold from ordering breakfast); Manager says no. the poor girl goes back and tells the guy who promptly YELLS: IT'S BEEN FIVE MINUTES... YOUR (crazy or psycho) and storms out in a huff with his companion in tow. or the person who drives off in a huff when you tell them we don't cash back EVER. On the plus side Ronald McDonald made a surprise visit to our store but only stayed for maybe 30 minutes because we were slow at the time.

I agree with these statements. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tell that to God when you see him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I say hi... to me... (after all I am god!) anyway.. I was bashing bush when it was a cardnial sin to do so. (my "clique" started a school riot during highschool by doing so) And using 9/11 to say "I needed to!" is utter crap.... after all he said we were going into iraq in the first place to get WMD's (which we showed to the UN) and to get the Al Queda because they had moved there after we had demoished afganistan (which we have completly forgotten about) If bush starts up the draft I'm gonna get the heck out of Dodge and move to canada.

yeah... but at least doom threes people didn't look THAT horrible.

Just beat prey... Liked the portals and some of the gravitational whoohahs... didn't like how everyone looked like they were painted onto a model. (ears looked like the elf ears from warcraft but with square tops... The faces were also REALLY flat.

In all fairness thats just your opinion. We dont know if there has been work done on it, you dont know that there hasnt. And you cant say "Well if there was work being done on it we'd know" as proof. So just for the sake of fairness, I'm correcting your statement Personally, I think the reason we havnt heard from LA about Kotor3 yet, is because it's going to be something alot bigger then anyone thinks. I think they're gonna do something that will define the Kotor series as the ultimate game in Star Wars history. Not to mention making it the biggest series to continue with for the future. I think they're gonna do something in Kotor 3 that will allow them to continue on to make several more titles of the game. Maybe they'll do something where Revan gets transported into the waaaay future, or who knows what. But I think its gonna blow everyones socks off when it comes out, and I dont think Kotor 3 will be the last title in the Kotor series. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and our beloved devs here saying quite specifcally that "we are not working on Kotor 3" doesn't prove my statement?

so taks... if he had gotten off what level of money would the USA networks have to pay him for damaging his image due to the tv movie they ran that had him as guilty BEFORE THE TRIAL EVEN STARTED?

oh and PREY! (yes that is what you think it is and it's the spawn point for a very nasty monster.... Kinda like in real life.)

SHAZAM! only you can prevent topic derailment I think that if Jade Empire is anything like the lost chapters it will do well...

They won't commit me... I've already tried and they wouldn't let me in... (suicidal note in highschool got in the hands of the administration and got treated like a terrorist threat.... WHEEEEE I GET TO RIDE IN THE BACK OF A POLIECE CAR)

so... does this mean games get boothbabes again?

probably restored like they did for the twenty year anniversary... (The star wars trilogy on vhs ONE LAST TIME!) right before Phantom menace.

was anyone else under that amount of scrutiny that were near her? maybe mom wanted her out of the will, maybe brother did... maybe the unborn child took a life insurance policy out on mom and then killed her, unwittingly committing suicide.

even so he's required by law to have an impartial jury... I'd hardly consider anything having to do with the case as impartial. After all he started trying to HELP the cops. And I know if my wife just up and died via gunshot wound to the head, the cops started asking questions, noticed I have a bit of a schizo tick, started looking for ANY AND ALL dirt they could on me and finially started focusing on me as the main guy who could possibly shoot this fictional wife. I'd run like hell and not look back till I was in switzerland or Communist China.

oh lord my dear sweet (not so innocent) eyes... Mus do we really have to take this conversation that way? Oh and I'm looking foreward to giving JE a shot.

Hey... I was able to save them and I'M the newbie at this... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but you had the most messed up game ever! I mean, France defending itself, on its own, against Germany, AI versus AI. Like I said, I have never seen that happen. At one point we had 64 divisions attacking us in Saarbruken. No way you stop that advance. Had to pull back to Strausbourg. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think poland also survived long enough that it (combined with france) had THE MOST territory.

I didn't even hear about this till I moved to portland for a year. then I didn't have the money for the armies. but how would an RPG work? the party would be hard to make unless you make some plot device that allows you to have an eldar and maybe a tau in the system.

Would that be Venice then? Or are you planning on bypassing the 5 starting nations bit? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no... holy ROMAN empire.
