I really don't get the people who get upset with a couple month delay for Kickstarter projects "oh boo hoo, the millions of extra money they got made the game bigger and now I have to wait 2-3 months longer to play it" Every time a game comes out incomplete people whine they should have delayed it and fnished, but if they delay to finish its some sort of unprofessional betrayal.

If Obsidian kickstarts a space opera RPG, would you back it?
Oerwinde replied to Arcoss's topic in Computer and Console
Because they haven't expressed any interest in doing so. That's essentially what Mass Effect was. It was space fantasy. Space wizards using space magic (under the woefully misused term "biotic") left and right. Besides which, I don't see how "someone should make a carbon copy of Star Wars without the Star Wars license but also with knights and damsels and dashing princes and horse-mounted blaster dueling combat in spaceships" is a positive thing. Mass Effect tried to come up with some sort of psuedoscientic explaination for it though, to keep it sci-fi. Star Wars left the mystery, at least until midichlorians, but everyone agrees that was a bad idea and they should have kept it more mystical. -
I think it has more to do with playig them on a 55" tv, which most people put in the living room, where couches are often the primary seating. Also, Valve is doig all this to compete with consoles. As has been stated, console preference is "all about the games" if Valve can launch a console with thousands of games and almost infinite backwards compatibility, all for half or less the price of regular console games, they win.

I use M&K for some games, and a gamepad for others, what I'd rather see valve do is a mouse and keyboard optimized for using on the couch.

I'd like to see someone take a stab at an original Star Wars esque IP. Meaning spacefaring fantasy. Kings and nobles and wizards and peasants alongside starships and aliens and blasters and such. Edit: extra points for using starship designs similar to Treasure Planet. -
Definitely not, 24 is the minimum to percieve fluid movement, not the maximum for what's noticble. Minimum of 60 fps for action games for a quality experience. Minimum of 60? I've been playing Saints Row 3 at about 35 and wouldn't say it wasn't a quality experience. Hell, most games I feel lucky to get 30 and its never been an issue. Either way, a prebuilt PC with an OS dedicated to gaming is likely going to aim for 60 anyway and I wouldnt see that as an issue.

I wonder how many frames per second that actually was, I personally don't think a first person view game runs well if it runs under 60fps. Doesn't majorety of console games run like 30fps? I remember GTA IV ran like crap on my 360 at least. Anything over 24 fps is barely noticible to the human eye. Under that and people start noticing choppiness. By "run" it probably meant playable, which would have to be over 24 fps

A few years back when running Crysis on full specs was the mark of a great machine, didn't some guy build a rig for 4-500$ that ran it on full? If a guy paying retail can do that, Valve certainly can.

Kick Ass 2. Not as good as the first, but I enjoyed it. I know Mark Millar is hoping a 3rd gets made based on his 3rd series to cap off a trilogy. They are cheap movies to make so maybe...

No way. A custom built gaming PC is still going to cost you 800-1000 usd. It wouldn't be custom built, I would assume it would he standardized hardware out of the box, that could be customized if you felt like buying extra parts. The Steambox I would think would he competing with consoles, and as PS3 proved, I the console business, you can't compete by being way more expensive than your competitors.
-
Now if one of the other 2 announcements is a $300 gaming PC preinstalled with SteamOS, screw PS4, I know where my money is goig.

So thia, and the Taliban suicide bombing a church in Pakistan killing 70+ people really makes it hard to see the whole religion of peace thing. Almost wish there was some way to mix fire and pork so we could bacon napalm them ensuring when they burn, they go to the right place.

Thank you very much and done.Guess really no-one wants Poker Night? It has Max! And TF2 items! Anyone who might have wanted it probably got it in the Telltale bundle

That was Damien Folletto. After BIS, he was involved in a post-apocalyptic game called The Fall: Last Days of Gaia. Not sure where he is now. LinkedIn profile has him as a Lead Designer at Microsoft. So he's moved up in the world, good for him. He was one of the more prolific posters and I believe the one who let everyone know BIS got shut down. Good to see he had some success (even if it was mostly on MMOs)

After the Breivik-massacre the mantra in the country, including the people who lost their friends and family was "more humanity, more democracy, more love" etc, rather than "off with his head". So it's definitely possible to be anti-death penalty even if you've lost loved ones. Appointing a Muslin m as minister of culture was a pretty big middle finger to that guy. If he had been executed he never would have seen it happen.

I joined the Interplay/BIS boards in 98 or 99 I think, because of Fallout. Migrated here after Feargus and co announced the new company. Does anyone know where Puuk(I think thats what he called himself, Hulk avatar) ended up after he got laid off at BIS?

I'll take DSIII. Id Oerwinde. I have codes for Bastion, Fez, and Limbo, and a gift copy of Crusader Kings 2 I can give out.

Well its kind of unclear how far away the other cop actually was. But the other cop The role of Sheriff I'm a little unclear on too. From what I understand they are either an officer of the courts, or the chief of police, while here he was like a beat cop with an office.I think they're treating him like an "old west" sheriff, who was actively involved in the policing of the town. In reality I think the Westchester County Public Safety Department is led by a Sherrif but Sleepy Hollow itself has a Chief of Police as its public safety head. I'm a bit unclear over the delegation of power too - Orlando Jones is playing a police captain, but he seems to have authority over the Sheriff, so I'm thinking that Jones is the Captain of the Westchester County Police (seat in White Plains, not far from Sleepy Hollow about 15 minutes) and that the Sheriff is specific to the town of Sleepy Hollow and falls, at some level, under the direction of Westchester County public safety (thus giving Jones the ability to pull rank on Beharie). I think it might be the other way around, Sheriffs are the heads of county police, while municipal police can be separate. Either way its a great big mess, but really only affects the pilot so it shouldn't be much of an issue in laer episides.

Sleepy Hollow was enjoyable, but what made me super angry was: "Officer down officer down!" *cop on other side of town* "oh crap, it must be this random disheveled guy in front of my car right now" *everyone takes him seriously*

Finished Wild Cards, out of all the characters they showcased, Yeoman was my favorite. On to book 2 of the Neverwinter trilogy.

Thr whole intro was dumb. Why didn't they just beam the device above the volcano and drop it. don't tell me their computers can't accurately calculate how much time it would take to fall and therefore how high up they needed to beam it.

It bugs me how incompetent the sheriff is on Under the Dome.

Finished Wonderful Wizard of Oz with the munchkin. They cut out quite a bit in the movie. Started on The Marvelous Land of Oz now. This is making me wonder why, with everyone wanting a franchise like Harry Potter and such, no one has tried starting the Oz books over and adapting the later ones too.
