I just read this on Penny Arcade...it seems pretty sad. I'm starting to wonder about a few posters though. Personally, if I was a corporate plant, I'd expect at least $30k a year for reading all the lame crud on forums.We received the following from a young man who we will call "Mr. Smith."
(CW)TB
Hey guys,
I interviewed for a guerilla marketing business in San Francisco that targeted web forums.
I was told that if I accepted the job, I was to have at LEAST 50 identities on as many forums as I could muster (they wanted 100 eventually), with a goal of 5 posts an hour. The posts had to be well thought out, and the idea was that I was to establish multiple identities with a history on the forums, so that when the timing was right a well written but subtly placed marketing post could be finessed in. And regular visitors would recognize the post as coming from a long time poster.
They had 12 people working there full time, and were hiring 10 more. You do the math. No wait, I'll do it for you: that's 880 posts a day (if minimum was met). However he said the better ones could do around 8 or 10 an hour. And they had different "verticals" so there was the sports guy, and the games guy, the hentai, excuse me I mean anime guy, etc.
But the most critical point was this: develop and integrate the identity. No random "HEY EB GAMES IS AWESOME BUY THIS" stuff.
Kinda spooky.
Didn't take the job. It was a ****ing mill.
now I see how the NGE gets so many supporters in SWG.. lmao I wouldn't put it past SOE at all to do something like that...
its weird you would talk to most people in game and they would say how much they hate the NGE, but in the forums you kept getting these people from no where loving it.. then a horde of people that hated it would post.. it was weird.. almost like SOE loved to keep the forums all riled up, and 2 months later its still a flame war over there..

I have to watch it today sometime.. it looked pretty good.. but didnt get to see it all.. good thing I recorded it.. :D
-
Of course Starbuck was a guy!! He was Face from The A-Team.
yep yep.. the original was good, but the remake of it is alot better.. to me its not like a tv series you would normally watch.. its almost like watching a movie each week.. :D very well done.. I hope the star wars tv series they are talking about doing, is as good...

It's WoD for sure but couse of Sep11 no Jihad or things like that in it
Jyhad. I mean, hey, the spelling's totally different
Yeah, I'm not a fan of WoD's penchant for quaint and cutesy spellings or, on the other hand, for bits of ye olde englishe, used to differentiate fundamental game concepts, myself. VtM is at its best when it's ripping off Anne Rice wholesale. But wherever it strays from simply ripping off Rice and turning her world into RPG material, I tend to like it less. That's not because I'm an Anne Rice fan. All in all, I think White Wolf is a better RPG publisher than Rice is a good writer (and I would just barely call her a 'good writer' at all). But the cases of unique setting and world-specific vocabulary in VtM is for me probably its biggest lacking. And how a setting is written does matter.
I don't read her books but I love the movies.. queen of the damned was a really good... :cool:

I wonder if the industry would go belly up if phrophesies, chosen ones, and ancient awakened evil something or other's were banned forever from CRPG's.
Well that leavs the sim's lmao

It was mostly rebalance work to make some of the classes and reworking on the damage reduction. Also they made the MM critters more streamline and uniform with each of their types. If you have the 3e books you don't need to buy the 3.5e books. Just get the up to date SRD and apply where needed.
Ravenloft has a 3e campaign book and a 3.5e player's guide that updates the portions of the campaign that needs it along with new material.
I see, thanks Judge...
on a side note, Planescape II would be a great game idea... but I figured after this long it was well forgotten about, by now... who knows lol
-
ahh Ravenloft, back when AD&D was fun hehe... have they put Ravenloft in to the 3.5 version of D&D.. I haven't played in years... and what is the difference of this 3.5 to 3.0.. I got the 3.0 books, is there a big difference??
-
White wolf owns the rights... if they say no, it doesn't get made.
well as usual, money talks.. :cool: greas the right wheeles anything can happen..

I'm not saying that the developers wouldn't make it... I'm saying that White Wolf wouldn't let them because of this.
ok.. well how about someone besides White Wolf make the game.. like obsidian.. or who ever...
-
just going to say there will never be a vampire masquerade mmo because that'd go against the game world, ie you'd have skillions of vampires running around in the world where theres' only supposed to be a few.
LOL, sorry man, but that doesn't mean anything... I played SWG (Star Wars Galaxies) for 2 years and it started out that way.. was supposed to be very few jedi in the game.. when it I had enough of soe's (Sony Online Entertainment) crap there was 90% jedi in the game cause the devs made jedi a starting profession.. any ways, just cause its supposed to be one way or another, means nothing to a company as long as it makes them money...
But as for a MMO vampire game... I am all for it... as long as SOE has nothing to do with it.... that could be a real sweat game.. do it off of underworld or something.. have 3 factions fighting for world dominance.. or something of that nature... vampire's.. werewolf's.. and a mix of both... with humans around the world as every ones prey... but you could even have vampire's fighting vampire's, and werewolf's fighting werewolf's also... for there own leadership.. not sure on all that but just some ideas...

Hey, a game needs to be consistant with the rules it uses;. KotOR uses d20 System. Every kotOR game needs to be consistant inthat If they want to make their own rules for the next Star Wars CRPG then more power to them. Just don't call it KotOR. You just don't change the rules of the game in the middle of the campaign. That is just bad GMing.
LMAO tell that to SOE.. they change SWG every 6 months...
-
Better marketing couldn't have hurt either.
True on that. The first time I heard of it was in a review in a computer magazine.
wander why they didn't have more advertising.. it couldn't have hurt in any way... must have ran out of funding or something....

so basically no one knows, or has heard any rumors on any new game yet??? that sucks... almost like waiting for k3... lol
I sadly wouldnt hold your breath. With the so-so sales of both (reasons which are another topic) I do not think another developer would jump to make another one anytime soon. Perhaps a few years to let the memories fade and if a company such as Obsidian or other publisher who isnt afraid to dive in mature content try again.
I do think you CAN have a successful vampire rpg game. Its just the right elements in the last 2 attempts have not been in place.
I don't understand why every one keeps saying these games were flops.. kotor 1 and 2 where really good games.. and bloodlines was a good game also... My main thing was I didn't ever see anything on Vampire Masquerade.. maybe lack of advertisement.... but I heard from a friend on the game.. and went to walmart and got it for $14.. very cheap... seems to me every one might be getting to where they have to have the best of everything... these games aren't all that bad... but maybe I am from a time when I started on atari and nintendo.. I am kind of getting the feeling people want to much from games now days... hell back when I first started out gaming it was pack man and donkey kong, and asteroids. then Dragons Lair came out.. that was a great game in its time.... we have gone way past stuff like that.. people should look back at these games and be happy we are where we are now.. but that's just me lol.. to me Vampire Masquerade BloodLines was a really good game and I had alot of fun playing it... so did my wife and several of our friends that checked it out after I found out about it.. they went and got it also after they saw it at my house. since it was so cheap.. but that could come from us all playing D&D together...

will there ever be another Vampire Masquerade??? Bloodlines was a fun game... I never played the first one.. was it as good???

Who watches this show? I just watched the four hour long season opener and it was great. I am curious to see who else likes it.
24 rocks.. Kiefer Sutherland was perfect for Jack Bauer ... I been a big fan of 24 since season 2..
-
Can you make a short list of which games are confirmed as slated for release but not yet released, names only?
does anybody know about there being a kotor3 is it going to be made
There isn't any confirmation of k3 being made yet man.. sorry... and don't let some of the vets around here bug yea.. they don't seem to like seeing these questions asked.. and the mods here really don't do much about it.. so just ignore them.. when info is released on K3 if any, I am sure it will spread fast..

Don't fool yourself into thinking you know what's going on in this world. The first duty of power is to perpetuate itself, and we don't even know who the actual powerful people are. Truman started the whole American tradition of secrecy after WWII, with Project Paperclip, in which the CIA put captured Nazi scientists to work on America's nuclear arsenal, the space program, and all this "otherworldly" technology they'd come across. (And you know what I mean.) Then they got Truman to create the super-secret Majestic 12 committee to oversee Project Paperclip, not to mention other weird stuff the government wanted hidden. They ran the whole thing, and they've been running it for years, but nobody knows who "they" are. But I'm pretty sure they're all Freemasons.
The whole Kennedy thing is so huge because it's at the center of so many other covert shadow-government operations. Kennedy himself was the smallest part of it, because it was actually a power play between Dulles' CIA, the anti-Castro military, LBJ, the Giancana Mafia, and a bunch of other dirty players. Oswald was a patsy, sure, but he put a gun on Jack. Of course, so did other test-mules from Dulles' MK-Ultra LSD-mind-control experiments. Zapruder was in on it, too: He was a KGB mole from way back. And the whole thing had ripple effects, like Jonestown, which was an assassin training camp that got found out. As for the Warren Commission, that thing was a joke

What i would like to see out of K3
Story-wise i'm not bothered as long as it finishes the trilogy off well, but if they can't then it migh be better to start with a fresh story. But there are 2 things i'd really like to see.
1 - more master/apprentice stuff. For example, at the beggining of the game, upto lvl 8, your master trains you, like kreia does. Then you go off on your own (for what ever reason). At lvl 12-14 you take on your own apprentice and you teach them, by that i mean actually teach them and not how it works in k2.
2 - A more in-depth process of creating your lightsaber. Going on special quests for the parts and atleast a short cut scence showing the building and meditation that is required in the construction of the lightsaber.
pretty good ideas.. the master/apprentice might be hard to put in to a mmo but a rpg shouldnt be to hard... at least they never put it in to swg.. and every one asked for it..
-
I know that the K3 threads are touchy items for you trollish denizens, but do remember this is a new topic for people who arrive in our community. So I would ... no I expect respectful treatment. If you do not want to talk about K3 - THEN DO NOT POST! Treat anyone - especially those new travellers from out Cyberway - without courtesy and hospitality makes the Big Green ornery ...
Nice to see someone say something... some of these people must have really boring life's to jump on every k3 threed and complain.. if they don't like it so much why don't they stay out of them...

Well, to perhaps inspire you further...I've attached the the cover I did for "Tips & Tricks" without any of the type covering it. The art director at the magazine requested that I incorporate the KOTOR2 characters into the origianl movie poster for Star Wars. It seemed easy enough, but it proved to be a challenge in the end. I had a little help from David Espinoza who rendered out the ships for me and I placed them in one at a time to create the same pattern the the original poster had. The director also asked that the Luke spot be filled with one of the optional player heads, so I chose the head that looked like a typical jedi from the newer films. I'll ask the powers that be if I can post the image as a desktop for download. I set one up in a horizontal format for desktop use internally, so it should just be a matter of finding a spot for it here somewhere. But we'll see.
SO when you going to start on Kotor3 art work hehe.. just kidding, I know... sure would be nice to see something stated on when and if LA is going to do it or not....
-
If you want to play an MP go play Glaxies. Kotor doesn't need it.
Star wars Galaxies sucks big time now....

GODSMACK
"I Stand Alone"
Now I've told you this once before
You can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna pay
Now I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me
I'm picking you outa me
you run away
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can see your face
Resurrected back before the final fallen
I'll never rest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside of me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
And now its my time (now its my time)
It's my time to dream (my time to dream)
Dream of the sky (dream of the sky)
Make me believe that this place isn't plagued
By the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out
Before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside of me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
Worst. Ending. EVER!
in Star Wars: General Discussion
Posted
Why didn't Obsidian post a mod to the game at a later date making the ending alot better??? adding more to the game?? or is that just a ridicules idea to even think that, the people that make the game, should fix it?? or is LA that much of a hard ball company they wouldn't let them??
Just something I was wandering, as I dont know anything about this stuff...
