I've come across very few design articles that actually have any applicable wisdom to offer.
This is one of those rare articles which actually opened my eyes quite a bit and it helped me design a clever system in one of our latest PAYDAY 2 levels. The article is about interesting decisions.
Guys, if you disagree with a company's policy, boycott the product. If you want to make a statement, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Otherwise the signal you are sending is "more DRM plx".
Two things:
Anyone know how to kill rhinos ethically? One shot type thing.
How do I release animals from cages without endangering myself?
For some reason, and I know this is a game, but these two things really bother me.
I finally caved to the donation banner on wikipedia and started donating a monthly sum. 
Quote from VilhamSecond one is bullshit. You need 10 wins to become ranked, that's 5 days back to back playing and ensuring 2 wins each day.
It's something you do once.
8. I fucking love vehicle takedowns, abandoning your vehicle at high speed (roll out the door), vehicle shooting, excellent side mission design (Assasinations are really tense and cleverly designed), sticky c4/grenades, the gyrocopter and the combination of all these things (and others).
Rumors are that these guys aren't the only pro players who cheat. This is gonna be interesting! Might come some last-minute VAC bans before DHW. 
Can't pro players enter some sort of contract where they pay shit ton of penalties if they are caught or something? 
6. Still enjoying the game, if anybody wants to co-op up, lemme know on Steam.
7. A minor criticism when it comes to weapon balance. I unlocked some regular and signature weapons very early that are just cleeearly better than others, which makes your choices less interesting.
Quote from deceiverNo tranqs...but you can use arrows...a *little bit* more humane ;P.
There's RPGs too! Very instant and humane imho.
Quote from BuddyThe whole game is 80% copy-paste from Far Cry 3
Hehe, okay, that's a bit true. Just feels like you'd replace the weapons since they are a fairly "easy" thing to replace. I dunno.
5. I am, as mentioned before in this thread, slightly disappointed that the weapons are 80% copy-paste from Far Cry 3. Would've been nice to explore a new arsenal.
1. I have not noticed any retarded "companion app"/microtransaction bullshit. Hooray!
2. This game is a lot of fun, thus far.
3. This game is beautiful and looks much better than Far Cry 3.
4. The world looks much more unique and "hand-sculpted" than the islands in Far Cry 3. Just richer somehow.
Quote from SenturaAlso why is this even necessary when you can just use displacements?
Are you trolling about the troll?
Quote from VayaHave you tested this idea?
I don't see how it would slow the 'bullets' as they don't exist in the engine. It's more like a Laser line that calculates if the gun would hit the other player.
I think it's more about everything being slow-mo in general.
Quote from duxForcing my way to level 50
Your time is worth something you know. BTW, doesn't it feel like time to kill and shooting balance is much better in Titanfall?
Bought it for a full, whopping 60 euros on Steam. Better be good, and I'm sure it will be! Looking forward to Tuesday. 
Quote from PuddyAight, I bought this. First CoD game in many years. My ambition is to have at least 5 hours of fun jumping around like an idiot in MP, any more is a bonus.
Okay, 6 hours of MP. Now I'm sick of it.
Started playing Door Kickers again now that it has been released. Having fun! Also found a nifty sound mod which has incredibly raw and hectic sound effects. Warning, not for everyone.
Aw yeah here we go! Congrats mappers!
Quote from duxAlso I finished the single player Campaign last night. All I can say is lol. The writing and story made NO SENSE.
Just finished it too, was fun at times. Plot was whimsical and hard to take seriously. If there was anything that annoyed the fuck out of me, it was that the game didn't trust you as a player. There's so many sections where the game forces you to walk in the exact footsteps of an NPC, force total and utter control of your camera in first person, restrict exo movement (exo types... please), artificially slow down your movement during "story moments" and so on. I can't even count the number of times the player character is "knocked down" in a cinematic fashion. Sure, I know this is part of the whole action rollercoaster but it gets sooooo tiring after a while
