I've played on large monitors like that for a while, hell i played all of Risen on a 47" too... honestly, when you're sitting that close its not worth it... i don't like it when i have to physically move my head to look at a UI element maybe if it was a bit further back from your keyboard/mouse...

I despise games with save checkpoints just before 10 MINUTE LONG UNSKIPPABLE CUT SCENES.

Yes. I'm looking at you Paper Mario 2. It had a 10 minute long cut scene just before the final boss. If you die, you had to rewatch the WHOLE FUCKING THING. I must of watched that cutscene about 30 or so times before I was able to finally beat the bastard.

this, attached with the lack of a 'retry' button... but if it takes forever to load again, or kicks you back to a menu - absolutely infuriates me. It's one of the worst things in games and i don't know why some designers still do it "LETS MAKE THEM GO BACK THROUGH LOADING AND MENUS LOL".

Especially in parts of a game that's really difficult and you have to do it over and over.

pre-orders are mostly used to gauge interest to let marketing spends unleash or not.

i think most people want those free items, or a discount. i can see if i'm a huge fan of the game and i want everything the game has to offer, i'd pre-order it for that item.

doesnt look bad

Anyone try Impire yet? i'm really interested in trying it... but i don't want to be disappointed like i was in Dungeons.

Quote from D3ads

I always really liked the boring fear environments. Felt like real places. Just a super depressing atmosphere about them and they made for good combat spaces.

FEAR 3 is also good. I'd say it's probably the best of the franchise. It's hard to out do the first of any series but aside from a few modernisms (the scoring system, which I actually enjoyed but it seems counter to a horror game) it's a really solid shooter. Some really cool levels and the guns feel good. Took a lot of shit for no reason, and it's at the very least a better game than Fear 2.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to pick it up soon!

I don't get why people have so much hate for F.E.A.R. 2? They fixed all the problems with the first game people bitched about, I personally love it as much as the first...

Amnesia was cool but it wasn't that scary. Being scared is all subjective though. I thought Siren Blood Curse was scary as hell (the ps3 one).

My butt stinks really really bad

yeah if they released their back catalog, officially, on mobile - they'd make so much cake it'd be ridiculous.

not sure where it is, he says its in an alleyway though, kinda hidden.

all kidding a side, my buddy Chuck is a san fran native, he highly recommends this place which is in the area - http://www.theirishbank.com/

Irish bars are always the best.

Quote from Kinky

Game development, doing it right.

This place is a whore house *NSFW* http://www.ofarrell.com/ *NSFW* - could always go there, get drunk, and see who's the first to bang a whore. kekekeke

we tried to organize something last year but it was mostly *eh* and everyone kinda just winged it. I only met up with Bram and Philip last year after i was already drunk.

The only thing I'd love to ask is to not combine it with polycount. Polycount is too big and chaotic - the people are all over the place with specialties/focuses/personalities etc.

That Irish bar is pretty cool everyone ends up at, the W is too chaotic and filled with old schools... and its expensive as dick balls. I guess it all comes down to the mood everyone wants, there are tons of options everywhere. I'll be pretty busy at nights meeting people so definitely the sooner we can lock something down the better

fuck it. strip club.

THIS GAME HAS TOO MANY ALIENS

MORE CoD PLZ

Ive been on a Sopranos marathon, watching them all finally... i can't stop watching it... but it definitely has its weak points. It's awesome how much better TV has gotten.

i really liked AVP/AVP2 (the originals)

oh well

i don't like how the aliens look themselves. it's like someone took edge highlighting and went overboard, just like the last AVP game.

really cool stuff

however, it does seem like using the extra shader instructions for the alpha vs. the extra texture memory for an alpha texture wouldn't really work that well in large scene scenarios. That's just a thought though, it would really need to be put to the test

love the gif break downs!

We purchased an sdk, hopefully we get one soon ive had a raging hard on for vr for ages, bought so many glasses and head tracking dildo things over the years... i know this wont be the best, but if it makes a splash in the consumer market it can really tip things off.

So now this year you year all going ...

Bitches

Previous year there were not that many mapcore people.

I remember having drinks with Peris and Phillip

was that before or after philip stumbled back to his hotel blacked out

Quote from Izuno

Probably will be stuck in meetings for 2 days straight...again.

a busy GDC is a good GDC

Who be going to GDC 2013 this year????

Can we do a legit meet up this year? Lots of people in the US this time around. Looks like there's plenty of time to save up moneys too.

I'm giving an unannounced session/presentation thing, but i think that's all that is on my schedule so far. That means more time for drunk butt slapping.
