TSBasilisk Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) As I understand it, it's largely the same on PC: You can make it a single- or multi-player server, save and reload to earlier states, kick people if you're host, etc. You can play on the main Denmark server or, if you're ambitious, you can download the save file and explore on your own. It's a terabyte download, so hope you have a good connection and data cap. Edited April 26, 2014 by TSBasilisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slinky Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 You can now come visit me virtually. As Denmark has been recreated on 1:1 scale in Minecraft. Tnt was restricted, but users quickly figured out how to vandalize it anyway and several parts of vritual Copenhagen is now blown up or under water. I have no clue about anything Minecraft other than its DRM is the biggest reason why I never got it for PC. Can you save something like that locally so that way you can bring it back at any time, or is it in a perpetual MMO state and is destroyed forever until someone repair builds it? If you can't save it locally, then the whole thing seems like a waste of time to me. By DRM you mean that the player needs to log in? I don't think thats too bad in my opinion, or is there something I'm not aware of? And yes worlds are saved locally on your machine on single player and on the server machine on multiplayer, but there is no "save world" button. There really is no need one on single player, but nothing stops you from taking a backup manually and multiplayer servers can be set to take scheduled backups as far as I know.

Humanoid Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Atari famously buried most of their inventory of infamous E.T. video game, often called the worst video game ever made, in a New Mexico landfill some thirty-plus years ago. Well, those games have been found. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serrano Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The answer was always soundblaster, the other options were just there to confuse people. I'm talking about all the other stuff. Typing in folders and directories, removing and adding different pieces of hardware because certain games weren't comparable, kicking the PC which for some reason actually worked sometimes and all the other crazy and tedious things back when gaming was for nerds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endrosz Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Oh x5. Storybricks, a company specifically devoted to creating immersive AI-driven NPC societies, patnered up with SOE to enhance the sandbox gameplay they try to deliver with EverQuest Next. http://www.gamereactor.eu/grtv/?id=169464 I remember the Storybricks Kickstarter from 2012, I visited their page being very curious about any advancement in game AI technology, and decided not back it. What they proposed wasn't a game, but an expanded technology test. The equivalent of an NWN module where you can fool around and try stuff see how it works. I'm not paying for that. In contrast, Minecraft offers a very simple core gameplay, but it does have a core gameplay you can enjoy while shaping the world. Now, having partnered with SOE, they don't need to worry about a 3D engine, models, textures, items etc., the production values are delivered by another company. I was anticipating EverQuest Next even before they announced the partnership with Storybricks, being cautiously optimistic about it, but with them on board, I'm really looking forward to try it someday.

Keyrock Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 When an AI learns and has the inclination to teabag people it's probably time to disconnect it from the internet, just saying. By the time we discover this inclination in said AI, which, for the sake of simplicity, I will hence forth arbitrarily refer to as Skynet, it may already be too late to "pull the plug" so to speak. In fact, the very act of attempting to "pull the plug" on Skynet may produce repercussions.

IndiraLightfoot Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well, I stumbled upon this juicy tidbit: It's not officially confirmed with Bethesda at the moment, but I will most certainly not hold my horses in the meantime. "The image follows an off-screen photo of a slide from a presentation. According to the fact sheet, the Arkane Studios game is being developed using id Tech 5 and will be released in 2016. Players will step into the shoes of a new main character who must “annihilate the outsider” in the new location of Tyvia. The character will also have new and updated powers, according to the slide." As a huge fan of Dishonored, I'm extremely excited about this! Well, 2016 is somewhat cruel, but the amount of games coming out before then that I will most certainly play is huge, so no worries! *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 NZ Herald - Watch Dog Hands On Off mission, Watch Dogs hews to the Ubisoft design mandate that more is better. When he's not surreptitiously wreaking digital havoc on Chicago's underbelly, Pearce can take up activities that range from core gameplay pillars such as racing, stealth, and shooting, to poker and drinking games. There are even digital trips: mind-altering flights of techno-fancy that bolt something of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon right onto Watch Dogs' core offering. Here, Pearce can clamber around Chicago in a mechanical arachnid, or take out as many demons as possible within a time limit. More intriguing are a range of asymmetrical multiplayer modes. Players who have opted in will occasionally learn that others have intruded on their game to engage in competitive activities. The most basic of these is a game of anonymous hide-and-seek using the Pearce's smartphone profiler. Find the other player, steal their information, and get away before they can track you down. In Decryption, the player, or a team of players, must hold a file for a prescribed amount of time in a fast-paced rendition of keep-away. A tablet companion app provides a final multiplayer mode, and an admirable example of second screen functionality. The player on the tablet is given a bird's eye view of Chicago and control of its police forces. He or she can then summon units and set traps for a player in game, who is attempting to get away. All of these clever modes make quick and welcome distractions from the singleplayer experience, without entirely undermining the conceit of the brittle hacker.
