Nah, I saw that one on eBay. I would have bid for it, but it's not the kind of game that comes "clean". "

Did I mention Fallout at all? No. If what you say about its sales is true, then yes, by all means, it was a failure. Perhaps it's a somewhat alien concept to you to use the same logic in two different (yet analog) reasonings leaving other subjective considerations out (in this case your blatant and badly contained fanboy-ism), but that's what, you know, people with a brain do. And people don't get into business to get "critical acclaim" for their work. Musicians do that, not software developers. Troika received "critical acclaim" for their games, and they didn't last long because their games were commercial failures. Sorry pal, but "critical acclaim", as nice as it may be, isn't edible. ) But hey, no need to get all worked up just because I have called you on an obvious contradiction. It happens to the best of us. Or perhaps it's because I have not joined in on the PST wankfest? Any initiative that contributes to drive a business to bankruptcy is an absolute failure. If all their games had sold as PST, Interplay would have gone down much earlier. BIS, too. Also, I think that you would be hard pressed to find a game that "flat out didn't sell" (as in didn't sell a single copy), but perhaps there is some case.

Keep splitting hairs. If a game meets its sales expectations, it's considered a success. If it doesn't, it's considered a failure. If it fails to cover even development costs, it's considered a total failure, and the company has to rethink their strategy or they risk going down. It was an absolute failure. It only managed to cover development costs years after it was released. Most developers wouldn't be able to survive such a blow.

You can go post it here. "

Most of you folks already know what I think about Ps:T so there's really no need to repeat myself. Those two statements are mutually contradictory, as a product is either a success or a failure commercially. In this case, and regardless of the critical acclaim received by the game, it was a failure on its own. The amount of prestige earned by its developers in the industry is irrelevant, as that is not the goal of any business endeavor, simply a welcome byproduct.

Movie: The Chronicles of Riddick. This is the most likely one to happen. Game: Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines. Troika is no more and the old WoD is obsolete so... Book: Starship Troopers. The guy who wrote it is dead so chances of it happening are *slim*.

Do you work at MS tech support, by some chance?

i liek poop

Because it's an attempt at making an FPS with RPG elements. It fails miserably on both accounts. And the story isn't too impressive either. You want a great FPS? Get The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Stealth, action, graphics, and an acceptable story. Featuring Vin Diesel as our favorite convicted sociopathic serial killer!

That's funny. I didn't know you were an expert in writing drivers. And it would take nothing short of that to make that kind of comment with some semblance of reason. And about the card, I happen to have exactly the 9600xt and I don't remember having too many problems. The Catalyst 3.10 package works like a charm... "

I actually chuckled at that one. Don't.

And I say you're just starved for attention. )

Yeah, what the jaguars person said. :D

Yeah, it's easy to get carried away when you are Force choking. It appears that Hades' prayers for permadeath have finally been answered.

No... I think he means this guy. :ph34r:

No. I'm going to do that after every post that is random, and whose author lashes against whoever notes it. Seeing as how you have done that right now, the use of the emoticon was perfectly justified... "

Flu isn't really dangerous unless you have a serious lung condition or belong to a risk group (old people, babies, HIV), so I don't know what all the fuss is about. It's not like you can do something to prevent getting infected, either. I'd be more worried about the prices of chicken rising. Yes, there is always an excuse for inflation.

:calax:

The installer for the full version is apparently f*cked up. It fails to create the main .exe for the mod. You'll have to download part 2 full and then the part 3 upgrade.

Probably you got lucky as far as bugs and performance issues go.

And Al Lowe had no hand in its creation, taking away what made the previous games fun to play.

Not really. Just speculation that isn't necessarily against plot facts (but if it were, these threads wouldn't have a reason to be). But then again, you could argue any number of things using the same watered down logic and making convenient interpretations of dialogues throughout both K1 and K2. Was there an intention to have Kae and Kreia be one and the same? There's no way to know for sure, as there is nothing to suggest the opposite, and a negative can't be proven. But even if that was the case, the idea was probably dumped even before they began to script the dialogues. It would only make sense to have that revelation in one of the cut ending scenes. But the cut endings were left in, while any tangible evidence of this was not. Not to mention that this would only affect a male exile, meaning that female PCs would miss an important bit of information about the main baddy. So yeah, it's speculation. And rather baseless at that.

Indeed. But worry not, because they now are a part of the European Union, and this implies that their quality of life will begin skyrocketing any day now, while the rest of the European Union benefits from the undeniable advantages they pose as members. The ecstasy that these thoughts cause in me is only disturbed when I think of those poor dogs. What will they eat when the bums of today are all driving Rolls Royces tomorrow?
