Mamoulian War

wait, what? I haven't even posted my response to this bit of news yet. I bet he knew what you were thinking about!!!

Seriously, dude. Don't talk **** about those games. Only a month or so since I last played Blood. It's an excellent game, with a lot more character than games in general have today. +1 Blood, Unreal Tournament Classic and Quake 3 Arena are 3 best FFA Multiplayer games ever created, everything new just lacks the simplicity of their map design... when you are running for your life, antialiasing on the grass leafs under the dynamic shadow of the tree is the last thing you care about...

If it would be squad-based coop only thingie, then it might be worth to at least look at it... if just another random singleplayer, i'll rather install me back HL-Blue Shift...

sorry but more shiny graphics do not count for better quality level design, i've yet to see a single shooter who would beat the simplicity and awesomnes of Unreal Tournament Classic, Quake 2, Quake 3 Arena and Half-Life 1 level design...

2002 to 2010 is still long time for no quality western FPS game to be released :D If it was realy better than NOLF1, than it's definately worth playing...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOLF_2 oh wow, i completely missed that one... shame on me, but i see nowhere that it was released in Europe... so that could explain i why i have missed it...

just to be fair STALKER could be taken as high quality FPS, to bad it was produced by Eastern European developer, right...

Bioshock absolutely overrated, HL2 boring and to short compared to HL1, FEAR i must admit i never played, NOLF one very good exception which happened - the biggest problem of NOLF was, that no one has even thought about making 2nd instalment, because its to weak franchise to milk into oblivion... And you know, meybe when not everybody, their mothers, their dogs and hamsters would be publishing cheap junk FPSs, we could see some high-quality TBS from western developers... at least we still have japanese and easter european companies who see big hole in the market full of cash waiting on them to pick it up...

last time i've seen something which could be named High Quality shooter, was when Quake 3 Arena was released... So yes even iranian indie games offer more quality than most of the FPSs junk i've seen last 7+ years... and compared to them Eastern european production is godly...

Yes it is at least few companies are trying to do something which is resembling the original IP... And i am seriously sick that 9 out of 10 games produced in the West are stupid FPSs... I seriously wish sometimes that 1977 and 1983 would come back and unleash the wrath on all that junk we see produced again...

/cry another classic franchise raped with the gun...

Yes the publisher should make sure, that everything what he wants and desire to be in the game, is indeed in the game before shipping it...

the same could be said about Kottick, just replace bosses with shareholders

i bet we soon see Take 2 sold to EA

The keyword is IF... Even IF they were doing the covering, even then the partial blame is on ACT, because the person who should have controlled them, had absolutely no clue about what he should have controlled... If you put in charge person, who is satisfied with cheap excuses, then it's your own damn fault, that you put some clown with economical degree in a position where it is required minimum of 5 years of heavy programming and application design experience...

Seriously, if you are publisher or producer of any software product, and you do not check the contracted work at regular basis, it's your own damn fault, if it is something different than you have expected when did you signed the contract... when i was working as programmer, my product was checked 2-5 times a week at early/middle phase and twice a day just before the deadline...

I don't think activision (when they publish) is able to go in and actually change the code... But they can tell: IF YOU DON'T ****ING GET OUR ****ING LOGO IN THE GAME, IT WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED!!! but they clearly were more interested in milking the franchise as much as possible before Xmas...

added, but this week will be very tough for me friend came to visit from UK after 3 years, another one has birthday, and i have to learn a lot for CCNA exams :'( not much time for games this week

How dare you to say something like that??? HERESY, BLASPHEMY!!! Internet discussions are SIRIOZ BZNZ!!! No go back to the cage, else at the dusk thou shalt be purgeth by the flame!!!

If you usualy are outraged about any content put in the game, be it sexual or violent in nature, you should read this, and maybe you'll see if you are outraged justly or not http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/04...ntroversies.ars

But they aren't the guys at troika. Plus is hard to work when you aren't allowed in the premises and is actually ACT responsibility to fix them. Am I reading this right... Person makes messed up product for distributor, Messed up product is released to public, Person whistles while the money pours in while the distributor has to take a massive financial hit for the garbage product? I mean, come ON. If Toyota assembles a car that kills somebody, it's not the Daves dealership that gets sued, it's friggin Toyota! If distributor forced them to release the product sooner than it is market ready, it's fault of the greedy distributor... In no other business you can force your workers to put unfinnished product into the market and get away with it... only in software business... something should be done about it, but no one cares and looks like customers have lot of lube ready and realy love to bend over...

*hands Oner a handkerchief*

If the guy farming next to you was Arisen Savant named Mamoulian, than it was me...

Allods Online - F2P MMO... pretty interesting, i like how each class is very different and has different gameplay mechanics, but i absolutely hate crafting :S

Don't forget this argument aswell... So if Rapelay would be RPG where you are playing a giant space hamster, who is gonna save his kidnapped prince from evil ranger and there would be sidequests where you could rape the witches before or after you kill them, it would be ok entertainment, as long as the depiction of the rape would be silly or cartoonish... Because current Rapelay is not cartoonish nor silly, the game should be pointed out as the most amoral thing ever created by mankind in the known history... yeah OK...
