  1. Just started the Original Campaign after running through Dragonfall in a two afternoons. Combat is weak but writing is strong. I kinda think combat is so unimpressive that it should have been real time with pause or maybe diablo style. Mostly no real offering of tactical choices to justify turns so adding time and timing might have helped create a sense of urgency. For the basics of getting a turn based shooter to work. Xcom reboot is the new gold standard. Not really a place for anything that is demonstrably worse.
  2. I predict the game will be in preorder for as long as they can possibly drag it out. Every month is mo money.
  3. Does anyon know if you can get rid of youtube ads on android or does google have a backdoor...
  4. Uniform says 'Policia' Maybe it's the LAPD. My first sligthly racist joke. ?/10 ?.
  5. You could just view it as a logical result of an armed populace. The police don't shoot anyone in countries where beat cops don't carry guns, and that statistic goes both ways, cops are safer on the job when it isn't a well stocked warzone. I'm not suggesting US cops be disarmed, it's too late for that. Maybe those shirt cameras should be mandatory for every police interaction. Make it part of the chain of evidence/custody.
  6. Dunno, if I were to guess I would say it was deemed too much work to patrol the thread. Maybe someone thought it shouldn't necesarilly become a staple of the forum. Family friendly versus a certain sausage fest vibe. Not entirely unfair obejctions. On principle I come out on the side of the free exchange of thoughts and ideas nearly every time, just don't particularly really care this time.
  7. The long and the short of it is that it is unwise for web stores to save your credit card information after a transaction, but without it you can't just 'impulse click' and buy something. You would need to type in your credit card number again. The saftest place to buy things are stores that let you purchase with a 'guest' login.
  8. I noticed that Unreal engine subcribers get the whole thing. The source code to alter any way they want. I would imagine you get someone who knows how to do the feature you want, but source code modification is available for anyone. In the case of Unreal they get their cut when and if you sell your game.
  9. The fed is what passes for a national bank in the US and in terms of public image it is somewhere inbetween the Illuminati and Weyland Utani. It's a bit of a catch 22 situation. There is undeniably a need to regulate (as in influence, not legislate) interest rates, inflation, economic activity, what have you, but giving this power to politicians would be tantamount to Communism. So they gave it to a sinister cabal instead.
  10. Shadowrun Dragonfall. Decided to give it another go. It's decent. The combat system is kinda meh though and I also feel they starve you for abilities. It's just hard to have a satisfying build when you can't realistically advance more than 3 skill bars and for each skill advancement bar there is a prerequisite bar which ads no skills. Usually it's just core to hit bonus. Also, why is there no cover behind doorways ?. I suspect it's because LOS is sortof broken. Don't like the graphics much, the best that can be said about them is that they are adequate. The story is strong and you generally care about the NPCs you are straddled with. Straddled as in there is no permadeath and in select missions you die automatically if a party member dies. It would have been a much better game if more care had been taken designing the combat system and play testning the environment. Not complaining though. It's well worth getting overall.
  11. Wouldn't it be an advantage to be small and wirery over buff, like running a marathon. Theres not as much mass to move.
  12. The president has nothing to do with the economy and he always gets the blame, or the praise, anyway. It's tradition.
  13. It's bull certainly. Kappa are the mythological equalivants of Panda bears. They wouldn't survive 5 minuites out of a zoo. http://onmarkproductions.com/html/kappa.shtml
  14. It's not a made up word as one might expect so the devs could claim copyright on the IP. They would be hard pressed to prevent the creation of another Vampyr game. I prefer Vampir actually, that's where a certain famous one comes from. Nosferatu - Romania Upyr - Russia Yakshis - India Lampir - Bosnia yara ma yha who - aboriginal australian vampir - bulgaria obayifo - ghana callicantzaros - greece bajang - malaysia baital - india incubus - pan european jaracara - brazilian baobhan sith - old gaelic scottish mulo - serbian vampyr - slavic asasabonsam - ghana ekiminus - assyria kathakano - crete aswang - philippines vampira - philppines danag - philippines mananangal - philippines encantong dugo - philippines capre - philippines tianak (vampire baby) - philippines mandurugo - philippines pontianak - malaysia canchus - peru ghoul - arabic kukuthi - albanian lugat - albanian dakhanavar - armenia bluatsauger - germany nachzehrer - germany mulo - gypsy alukah - hebrew kappa - japan kyuketsuki - japan strix - latin vampir - hungarian upirina - croatian drakul - serbian sukuyan - trinidad and tobago upyr - slavic ukranian
  15. I don't know how things work in the US but there is often an understanding that you don't blow your own horn too loudly and make yourself the hero of the story at the expense of your unit.
  16. So basically he's an ****/war criminal ?
  17. My main gripes ; too many kids and too much jhon snow.other than that i'm just glad to have a fantasy show with a big budget no less that isn't completely hopeless.
  18. Theres a melee guy and a shooty girl etc. Not enough ammo available to be shooting all the time. You get upgrades to ammo capacity and ammo crafting at higher levels.
  19. I was rather bemused to see the DDosing of a few French news outlets described as 'Cyber terrorism'.
  20. All this online coop only is a pestilence. Whatever happened to shooting at people.. online.. now all you can do is help them, and yourself, against some inimaginative AI. How boring is that.
