  1. adapt to what, exactly? i'm not sure it's possible to adapt if the worst case scenario comes true, at least not without huge effort, much bigger than just trying to reduce our carbon emissions. it's pretty funny how you say adapting is a solution because whatever will happen, the worst of it will come after you're dead. so you're basically saying **** it, i aint gonna change my wasteful ways, future generations can always adapt right? kinda selfish. oh and the point isn't if global warming is man made or not or if there's anything we can do about it anymore, it's that whatever the reason or outcome, your solution to the problem is that future generations should just "adapt".
  2. Heh, this thread is awesome. People saying they have real evidence that God exists yet can't show it, all these right wing idiots writing history again to suit their opinions better and then there's this guy who's smarter than anyone else in this thread yet is a Soviet Union apologist and hardcore communist... God damn you americans are entertaining.
  3. Yeah I wasn't impressed. The engine was clumsy, the ruleset uninspired to say the least and the setting as generic as they come. The gameplay didn't seem that interesting either. I'll get it once it's 10 bucks on steam, so next christmas most likely.
  4. I've only tried it at a friend place but I'd wait for the eventual gold version. Seems like the DLC add enough to be worth it, but not enough to be worth their price if bought individually.
  5. WHAT assumptions? That he's a hypocrite for calling others morons for not watching his video is not an assumption. As for the poster's history, it has complete relevance over what my whole beef is. assuming that the video he posted is crap on par with incovinient truth. attacking it multiple times while stating that you haven't watched it and don't plan to. how many times do i have to say this? you have beef with the poster, fine. keep it in pm if all you can do is troll this thread by attacking the one relevant link he's posted in his entire posting career here.
  6. i'm not talking about him, i'm talking about you making stupid assumptions. admit it, you have no idea what the link is, the posters posting history has no relevance in it and your stupid posts are just that, stupid. don't watch it, don't make a long counter argument. no one is forcing you. just dont make assumptions based on your right wing bias, or if you do don't act like you're right even when proven wrong. cos that just makes you look stupid.
  7. you should stop now, you're making yourself look really stupid.
  8. This 'poster' has a history of ignoring other links of information... completely ignoring counter arguments. What part of calling out someone for being a hypocrite who calls others morons who behave exactly as he has consistently in the past do you not understand? I know this is some really hardcore intellectual stuff here. You seem hung up on the content of the link... ignore that... it was not the point of my comment. Then again I think you are just looking for drama and feel the need to rush in to defend trolls for the excitement. Its also Doritos and Diet Coke... jerk. now had you only done that, sure, it would have been alright. but you also attacked his link as well, multiple times while it's pretty obvious you have no idea what it is. pot kettle black. also i'm not defending him, really, i'm defending the post he made. the video is relevant to this discussion, unlike any of the posts you've made in this thread.
  9. posting that article wasn't really trolling, although he did do it a trollish way. now attacking a poster and the contents of a video he posted that you haven't seen based on the posters previous behaviour? trolling. oh and i'm just pointing out that the video in question is nothing like you guys seem to think it is. but i guess these threads aren't for actually discussing things, are they? they're just for silly flaming, calling everyone a commie and promoting nihilism and social darwinism while eating cheetos and drinking mountain dew. lol.
  10. doesn't change the fact that the video he linked to isn't garbage or similar to what you compared it to at all. i guess you're a hypocrite as well.
  11. Inconvenient Truth, Loose Change, Sicko... bs that edits 'the truth' to offer one sided opinion. I've offered you 'truth' numerous times before that you promptly refused to read or watch. You sir, are the moron... perhaps even worse... a hypocrite. that's not really a fair comparison. the video he linked to is a lecture by a professor of economics, not a big budget "documentary" made to sway the public en masse behind a movement or ideology they don't understand. it's more of a deliberation than a manifest. it's a good watch, really. i wouldn't take it as the new gospel, but he does make many valid points.
  12. This. Communism is the enemy. neither of you even know what the word means...hilarious.
  13. The plastic plugs are bent out of shape, I tried to force them back into place but they won't fit anymore. I'd really rather not us any more force than I did since I feel that there's a risk of busting up my processor. I'd rather pay the 20-40
  14. The movies art style was "influenced" by, or ripped off from if you prefer, album covers of the band Yes. I don't think they have any other explanation except that it looks cool.
  15. That's the thing, folks played Gothic 3 and enjoyed it. The developers took the good stuff and tried to improve on it. Now we have Risen, which is lot more stable and fixes some major issues. What else can you ask for? Not every game is going to be a home run. So you think it's justified to use the fans as beta testers? There were no guarantess that Riven would get released, or that they'd fix Gothic 3 when it was released. The same thing happened with Troika, only they never fixed their games. Not every game is going to be a home run thats true, but it seems like it's standard practise not to even try to make a complete product because you can always patch things up later. If you can afford it. If not, well there's always the next game, right?
  16. How is it? Would you mind doing a more in depth review? My rig is busted at the moment so I can't try it myself, but I've been kind of intrigued by the whole thing.
  17. He is, in that he took me literally when I said that Kotor 2 didn't have an ending when it's obvious I meant that the planned ending was cut and the ending that was put in was crap. They're examples of badly made games that had too many bugs to be considered a full product. As I said, even if you enjoyed an incomplete game doesn't make it a good product. Oh and if you're happy with games that barely meet a minimum requirement for functionality I guess you deserve all the Gothic 3's that get released these days.
  18. 1. Fallout 1 & 2 2. Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 3. Doom 1 & 2 4. Broken Sword 1 & 2 5. Blood 6. Carmageddon 2 7. Team Fortress 2 8. Counter Strike (The original, mostly pre 1.0 but I did play up until 1.6) 9. Heroes Of Might And Magic 2 10. Worms 2 11. All Lucas Arts and Sierra Adventure games. Can you notice I was a teenaged gamer in the 90s The next few games are finnish indie games that I beat the crap out of in junior high: 1. Liero 2. Triplane Turmoil 3. Areena 4 & 5 4. Molez 5. Fight Of The Sumo Hoppers 6. Slicks n' Slide
  19. What does this ham fisted philosophical advice have to do with anything? I'm not asking for perfection, I'm asking both publishers and developers to have some kind of standards or pride in their work not to release a broken or incomplete product. Maybe tone down the ambition if you can't get it done? This is what killed Troika. I'd rather play a full, complete and well designed game than one reached for the sky but came crashed and burned. Stop being obtuse.
  20. I actually do just that, but it's beside the point. Stop being obtuse.
  21. What the hell? NWN2 had some pretty crippling bugs and while it was "playable" it certainly wasn't optimized or even well made. Same goes for Oblivion and Fallout 3, they were kind of polished but had TONS of bugs. Fallout 3's DLC's messed up textures and generated a whole slew of other bugs that are yet to be patched. Kotor 2 was missing an ending, heh. Mirrors Edge, Assassins Creed, the new Prince Of Persia and other games have recently been criticized widely for lack of content. There's just not a lot to do in those games, and seems like having stunning visuals at the expense of gameplay is a growing trend. Just because you enjoyed a broken product doesn't make it a good one. Dragon Age is another good example. Daggers have a bug so that your dexterity isn't calculated towards your attack rating, which affect rogues a lot (enough to make the class a lot worse than it could be?). Apparently just fixing the bug would mean that the game balance would get really messed up, making the game a lot harder. This should maybe have been noticed earlier? Maybe before the game was released, considering they had 6 years of development time.
  22. I can't remember when I bought my last game that was broken or had severe bugs. You must be buying the wrong games.... Also, back in the 90s, early 2000s, there were a lot more buggy games than today. QA standards, coding expertise and quality awarness have improved since then considerably. Except if you buy some **** from Germany (Crytek is the exception) or Russia, but that's your own fault then. You do realise that I wasn't talking about only bugs, right? Also releasing incomplete games (such as Assasins Creed, that really had no gameplay go to along with its nice visuals) is a huge problem. As for buggy games: Kotor 2 Neverwinter Nights 2 The 2nd NWN2 Expansion, can't remember it's name Fallout 3 Oblivion etc. I disagree with your assessment that games are less buggy than they were in the 90s. While coding standards may have improved, so has the complexity of the games so that they'd need a lot more QA than they're given now. I think only Valve and Blizzard release quality products for the PC market nowadays. And since it's now possible to patch console games, most of them are released with bugs that get ironed out only after the game has been released.
  23. Publishing half finished or half assed products is the real achilles heel of the game industry. In no other industry is releasing a broken product and only repairing it if enough people buy it (or even then not) is considered standard practise. IMO less is more, and we could do without a lot of the ****ty games that get churned out yearly in exchange for more finished, polished and fully realised games.
