very cool
.though they notion of adventure games being dead is kind off weird, there's tons still being made. Who here actually still plays adventure games? Does anyone even play the new sam and max and monkey island games?
I played the new Jurassic Park game from Telltale recently. It was fun.
Most of the 3rd party hi-res texture mods were better than the official one. 
I laughed when everyone said Alan Wake wasn't horror. Play that shit on the hardest difficulty setting available on your first play through and tell me that's not survival horror game play.
Go ahead. Give it a shot.
P.S. - It doesn't count if you played through the first time on normal and come back to hard mode with a mastery of the mechanics. 
I just wanted to add they I just bought the latest Forza, which is a rip of of Gran Turismo from mega corporation, Walmart, that drives Indie grocery, hardware, and electronic stores our of business.
I'm finding myself unable to be outraged over Zynga cloning a copycat game of a copycat game that ripped off Sim Tower. Why is this?
Curses! Gameloft has done it again!
Have you ever read the articles? I'm pretty sure they're one and the same to the guy that runs that site.
Looking pretty good overall. You have some typos under your new entries, and your resume is missing your time at id.
Quote from PogoPI recommend you all stomp on your iphones, and go get a Samsung Galaxy S2.
Smartest post in this thread, though my opinion is heavily biased.
Any publisher would be stupid to not have their own top-notch digital distribution system. Trying to make it the only way to use their products? Only time will tell if that works out in their favor.
Age of Conan? Clearly there is something wrong with you, Rick. 
Quote from Rick_Dwouldn't it be better to use that setting when you select high quality?
One would think. One would think.
I saw that thread, it's just ridiculous .. but another interesting one is this : http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=164481[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/3JUxV.gif]
These are high quality textures and better lightning your character only gets during cutscenes, but everywhere else it's using the low quality ones (which look blurred and flat). Currently there is a trick you can use to make your character use the high quality textures outside the cutscenes. If you look at promotional screenshots for the game, all the characters are using the high quality textures, but ingame they are not. People were complaining during the beta about low quality textures, so Bioware enabled them to shut people up and disabled them again on release. And they are calling the low quality textures it a feature.
There's a .ini flag you can set up that overrides that.
Quote from SkjalgYeah but US isn't a first world country anymore hahahahahah
The EU won't be first world much longer either the way things are going.
It's much easier to lay off/fire people in the US than Europe (my VP bitches all the time about how hard it is to fire bad employees in some European countries). Texas is even easier, since it's an at-will state and employers don't even need a reason to terminate you.
Sadly, a few of my friends got hit by this. 
Sadly, the shooter will probably still do better because the original X-COM is too complex for your average herp-derp gamer.
Quote from Rick_Dage of conan looks good and it's 4 years old, and it runs as well as star wars. the whole "it's an mmo" argument is not valid anymore tbh.
Actually it's a very valid argument. One of Age of Conan's big failings (besides bugs and lack of content) was the steep hardware requirement compared to games like WoW or EQ2. AAA MMO's have to be playable on the lowest common denominator PC if you want to pull in the kind of numbers to justify the cost of development. What was the #1 reason for WoW's success? The minimum hardware requirements were equivalent to an iPhone 3G, allowing people with old PC's to play.
Overall I like most of the art style. Planets like Korriban look like crap, but Tython, Coruscant, and Taris all look phenomenal for the chosen graphics style.
Quote from Rick_DReal Time Turn Based
what the fuck did i just read
In X-COM 3 you could flip between RT and TB at will. Made for some pretty lulzy situations that broke the game balance.
