melkathi Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Dunno if anyone around here cares, but we are closing FOnline: 2238 at the end of the month. It was quite some experience and I learned a lot about game production / development over the past 4 years- More than I learned from any other mod I've done in my life so far. Often it was a good time, also often it was a really horrible time and many mistakes were made by our team... Oh well. In the end, the game became just way too big for our small team. Always a shame when a project comes to an end. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

HoonDing Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Well, if it has Keith David, that's a plus. I was already all types of sold on this game, but nooooooooooo, they had to go ahead and sell me some more on it. You already got my money folks, you don't need to try so hard. Mr Newell will get most of my money. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove your credit card from Steam. Not just not to bankrupt yourself, but because it is safer, not to store your credit information online. The tiny inconvenience of typing your card number is worth not freaking out as much when an online store gets hacked Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

alanschu Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Remove your credit card from Steam. Not just not to bankrupt yourself, but because it is safer, not to store your credit information online. The tiny inconvenience of typing your card number is worth not freaking out as much when an online store gets hacked Risk overstated. My credit card was automatically canceled one time, because it was compromised due to a theft. A physical theft, of a store where I made a physical purchase. The only way to ensure that no one nefarious can ever get my credit card information is to not have a credit card. Further, my (very basic and elementary) credit card offers 100% fraud protection anyways. If my card is compromised and purchases are made on it, it is up to the vendor to ensure that I am not scamming them when I challenge the charges. My Dad actually was burned by this, as a computer seller, when someone bought a computer from him and had a courier pick it up. Charges were disputed, sweet piss all my Dad could do (this was probably about 15 years ago too). In the only time that I had to challenge a charge on my credit card (when I had canceled service but I continued to get charged), it was effortless. I concede it may be different in other countries, which is a sucky deal for them, but it's not something I am concerned about. In fact, I'm probably more likely to lose my physical credit card. If Steam gets hacked (which they have in the past), I won't freak out because it's not necessary. I was a bit more concerned when the Student Loan board, which has things like my Social Insurance Number, was compromised. Fortunately my Student Loan account was not on one of the physical hard drives that was stolen from a server farm, so I was not at risk.

Raithe Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hm don't think this has been thrown up here yet.. http://www.nixxes.com/nixxes/newsdetail/20-uk/news/158-we-re-working-on-thief At the Computex Taipei 2013, during AMD ‘s press conference, Jurjen Katsman, Founder and President of Nixxes Software, announced our latest project, the PC version of Thief! Thief will be released in 2014, developed by the team from Eidos Montreal for PS4 and Xbox One, the same developer that brought us Deus Ex; Human Revolution last year. For which, Nixxes also delivered the PC-version. Nixxes is happy to be working again with the team from Eidos Montreal as well as AMD on this great franchise!'

I was able to preorder EU4, but I'm waiting for the summer sale for Heart of Darkness and The Old Gods, because paying the same I paid for the base game for some DLC is just not something I'm willing to do. I think beyond that Stick of Truth is the only thing left for me this year. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

C2B Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) So, Interplay bought the Freespace source code from THQ/Volition during the closure. One of the only ways I can make sense of this, is that they will try to **** over Freespace open Hopefully they just do nothing.

Malcador Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 He works for booze, I'd guess. As for Interplay and Freespace ( http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/6/4403602/interplay-repurchases-freespace-ip-thq-volition ). Hopefully, they're too inert to do much of anything with it.

Drowsy Emperor Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) That's one very modern looking bow. I really want Thief 4 to be a good game, but I have no faith in reboots. It'll probably be like Deus Ex HR, you play it once then you forget about it. Eidos has been living on old glory for far too long.

I really enjoyed Westgate, they did a great job of making the world take note of where you invested skill points and all the compaions had backstories that interwove with each other and the main plot.

His career has been in a near death experience for almost 20 years, except for that series momentary boost. Nobody wants him. He's gonna do all the "acting" work in one week or so. All he can ask for this is 40-50k. IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm waiting to see how Dawn of War 3 will be handled with Sega calling the shots (them being Relic's owner and all). It seems like Sega is more Hands Off than most publishers. Relic and Creative Assembly appear to have been mostly unmolested for their two games, and Sega's gotten good products out of it. I think a lot of Empires faults can be traced more to the Devs deciding to expand out of Melee focused periods of warfare. In most of the other games they'd released to that point, the main combat was won by banging heads against one another. In Empire (and Napoleon) they had the issue of muskets being the man weapon of the era. And a new architecture for their overworld maps (systems wise). I'm eager for both COH and Rome 2 to pop up though. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
