A lot of people whined about ShadowRun Returns not being the second coming of Christ, it kind of soured Dragonfall a bit.

But this shot was point blank.

Unless I can put a stick on a baby and make a mace out of it on the sequel I don't buy the whole these are bad people bit. Demonicon made a better job of presenting and allowing for evil options than Blackguards and was a good game to play with maces.

Unless we get a ballistics expert we can't confirm, but I agree with you. At that range it wouldn't have enough kinetic force to create a massive cavity and it is likely to go through, but I don't see when it hits concrete. It might just be because of the low resolution of the video, but the conspiracy skeptics have given enough circumstantial evidence to create doubt.

Errm not sure what the question means but I think I can guess. If you're asking about how much do the developers have to code compared to how much they inherit from the game engine that depends upon the game. Sometimes they have to develop entire tools to do the things they want to or to insert features that are lacking on the engine. But the engine developers don't work on games, they might receive feedback from game developers but won't develop tools exclusively for a game unless they are the ones making it. I'll give you a for-instance... CryEngine is currently being reworked by the Star Citizen developers to incorporate double precisions for world space coordinates. That is, of course, no small feature to add. I personally would think that required a lot of library modification to support, since anything that interacts with world space might need a calculation adjustment. My question is, wouldn't that normally be handled by the engine developer and not the game studio? Like I said, everything game related is done by the game studio but it isn't necessarily built from scratch since the engine already has variables in it (be a piss poor engine if it didn't) that the developers can use. It may be that there aren't functions that do what they want or that they don't like how they work, so they develop their own functions that inherit from the engine scripts. Short answer; is the game studio.

So we will get propaganda and misinformation from the Blue Team now ? Well its good to have opposing networks since competition drives the free market; plus let's face it, journalism has no interest in being unbiased. Best we can do is see opposing arguments and come up with our own synthesis, or if you're American: make fun of Fox news.

Why? I like game scores, they save me the time of reading through the whole article.

Everyone in the game industry has a game idea, unless yours its exceptionally good I doubt anyone would develop over theirs. Best that you can do is develop a practical skill like writing or some game theory, and some good connections that you can use to recruit your own team. You should go to Polycount.com on their forums you can create a posting for a non-paid project to develop a prototype to create a Kickstarter. The better the documentation and proof of some connections the better chances you have of attracting good talent as people just aren't going to be interested on a non paid project that isn't likely to see completion. If you do your posting on Polycount PM, I might be interested.

8chan down, domain name taken away by interwebs due to "child pornography". It then uses the domain name to host child pornography. SJWs are really the cancer of society, they just keep spreading.

Except for all that crap that Paul wrote, he was a very disturbed person.

And if one's biggest worry is boob size on virtual women in video games... Actually it isn't but because they only talk about that one particular issue that's women representation in games while denying that male representation is as bad it eschews the issue. That's all the talk about it seems sometimes, probably because you would actually need some technical knowledge of games and how the industry works or at least the mental capacity of a non autistic human to come up with good criticism that isn't about boobs.

...Yeah, I'm not sure it's an especially strong argument in favor of how Witcher's done things. Don't get me wrong, I love that game, but... damn. Works with the targets anyway, whores or some really loose women (rather funny in Act 4). Wasn't as much of a chore in DA. But nothing really wrong with that, it is how things can work in real life sort of - gifts raise opinion of you, etc. As for the C&C messages, it is a bit eye-roll inducing but I suppose some players need that. It's not too intrusive and is worth a laugh sometimes - Dreamfall Chapters had that. Better than DA:I where you have to do a pointless miniquest.

Actually I quite like it on the Witcher, you didn't have to buy hundreds of gift and as soon as you gift someone they reward you with sex instead of somewhere along the line after your complete their sidequest.

Nope, as long as Islam remains without an official ruling body that can interpret the word of the Prophet and it can unify the faith there will be people who use the word or interpret in a way that it leads to conflict. Quite frankly the more longer that they wait the more sinister they look. I would point out the example of early Christians who were known to be violent and prone to riots and infighting over Biblical canon until the council of Nicaea. So its been known to work, and it should be done before Islam becomes unified under bellicose (I really wanted to use that word) interpretations.

Well then maybe you can get your wish and pillars of eternity can be loaded with completely linear dialogue options that constantly remind you that your choices mean something and you can click PPPP over and over when picking locks. Because, that's what the stuff I am talking about is, if it were replicated in an RPG setting. People tend to look at a mechanic and say that its bad just because it was poorly used. They will rail against said mechanic without any thought to how it could be applied better and worse they might ignore games that successfully use it just because it is present. I very much liked Shenmue but if I tell someone that it is the game that defined QTE they might become biased against it. Its art therefore rules can be broken as long as the final result is pleasant or aesthetic, rambling against mechanics seems pointless since I can't possibly think of bad mechanics just mechanics that are badly used.

Force him to start lifting weights, good for the Testosterone. Might help with the mood.

I might have come up with a theory as to why there are so few great civilizations on such a rich continent; it is precisely because its so rich. When there is scarcity it forces humans to compete with one another for resources, on places where goods are in just one place it forces people to group along those locations. As groups are formed others of smaller size are assimilated or eliminated, while the most capable is sure to triumph on a state of nature. Eventually as groups grow there need to be rules to facilitate order, people specialize and proto society is born which eventually grows into an Empire which couldn't happen on a wealthy continent since smaller groups rather than fight for resources could easily find them elsewhere. Not related the thread in any way but I don't have many people to talk to and ancient African Empires doesn't come up in conversations that much. It did about a year and half ago but it hasn't since.

I really don't like this post I'm trying to come to grips with what its exactly that I don't like about it. It may be the holier than thou tone of taking the moral high ground (correctly, I may add) on the discussion while committing the hypocrisy of failing at its own standard. I don't know who you are in RL Wals, I don't know if you actually are doing something to end global terrorism but even if you did that wouldn't a reason to shame others for their choice. I don't like to push onto others things that I wouldn't carry myself and so I tend to look upon that kind of behavior badly. I'll chalk this up to a bad temper due to a horrible situation, but I don't think shaming people in forums makes you a bloody hero either. Sorry if I offend.

I've seen some journalist claim that as one of the reason why the tend to err on the side of the developer. It really is a dumb thing to base bonuses on rather than unit sold or working at an accelerated schedule.

I'm still waiting for the Intel stock to drop.

You should do it to his far more richer girlfriend.

That's kinda and untrue at the same time. Black majority areas are more likely to have more problem students. There is a reason for that though; not to sound like a broken record, but this thanks to the damn drug war. The drug war targets blacks the most, and thus screws up their communities the most. This is a big part of why the socio-economic situation for many blacks isn't so good. Ending the drug war would do far more good for education than free community college; especially for poor black communities. Actually I always chalk it up to Black Culture, Rap and all that other gang related stuff. I really wish liberals would stopped their collective gasps at everything just so that the problem of black crime can be analyze. It just seems inconceivable to me that a minority group manages to commit so many crimes and have such high rate of recidivism plus some members seem to have such a resistance towards education when they have all to gain from it.
