Sarex Posted March 18 Posted March 18 So during an official Apex Legends tournament, players got hacked and remote installed cheating cheating software on their PCs. To make matters funny some got an account ban. What makes this story interesting is that apex runs a kernel level anti-cheat software and the suspicion is that the hack happened through it. This is the screen that flashed for every player when the hack happened. See if you can spot it. 1 5 2 "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP

At one point he spawned bots in a ranked game for a streamer and turned it in to zombie mode, spammed streamers with packs to unlock all cosmetics and similar stuff. But this one is big as the publicity is much larger. The funniest thing about this whole thing is that the hacker can just claim he did this before and that he influenced past tournaments. How apex works, and most shooter games these days too, is that anyone who is playing on a controller has aim assist in an effort to level the playing field with the mouse and keyboard players. So he could have just modified the value for the aim assist to be stronger and made whichever team he wanted have better odds.

Lexx Posted March 20 Author Posted March 20 Alpha Protocol is probably one of my most replayed games ever. Even back then when it was released, I played through it at least 7 times in a row. 4 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Humanoid Posted March 21 Posted March 21 While I wouldn't have minded some new additional content for BG3 before saying goodbye, ultimately I think it's the right decision for Larian to do their own thing instead of hitching their wagon to the D&D licence. I'm steadfast in my opinion that BG3 is good in spite of being a D&D game, not because of it. No matter what you think of the state of BioWare today, few would argue that they made the wrong decision by abandoning the KoTOR series after one game and going their own way with homegrown IP. 2 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

With the success, I'm sure the rights holders won't let it sleep. I think Obsidian was one of the studios who tried to get BG3.

Yeah, it'll probably be a good gig for an up-and-coming studio to try to make a name for themselves, even if they have to put up with working with the awfulness of Hasbro/WoTC for a while. I imagine multiple such projects will be commissioned now. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

MrBrown Posted March 22 Posted March 22 So apparently Dragon's Dogma 2 is getting bad reviews. There seems to be some performance issues, but I also see lots of claims about having to pay for stupid stuff like starting a new character. No idea what is true, some of the claims are outrageous.
