Welp, looks like I'm getting another CoD.

I started playing with Sunvox, it's pretty easy to pick up. It's built more as an old Amiga tracker plus a neat synth.

Patch day is Wednesday, but recently (since Arms Deal mostly), it's been going over to Thursday quite a bit.

Got the alpha for owning xcom. I really want to like the game, but the human gameplay just isn't great. I haven't gotten the chance to play monster, but I doubt I'll go back.

So far the community is already pretty awful, and of the 4 times I matchmade, I got a single working game. Once it failed, another it crashed to desktop, third it worked, fourth, spawned as bot that was under the map (which I was yelled at for...). It also wasn't performing well at all, tons of audio stutter while things streamed in.

Most of the game is trying to find the monster while they outrun the humans the entire game, then at level 3, everyone dies. Generally you feel useless as human, with the monster being a big bullet sponge. Half the time I don't even know if I'm hitting the thing. It's a shame, because L4D made you actively want to play zombies as well as humans. I highly doubt this will gain any traction as an e-sport.

My current impression is that this game feels more like a lighter 17,99 - 30 euro type of game and definitely not a full retail one.

Agreed. The game feels like NS2 in this sense. $20 or so wouldn't be bad at all for this.

The big rumour on reddit just now is VIP mode is being added. That would be damn cool.

Also there are a few references to sounds for a Tac 21 rifle in the game.

Quote from Minos

Congrats dude, stick to your dreams and one day you might meet her or even... get married with her? Anything is possible

Maybe even a restraining order!

Quote from FMPONE

Somewhat agreed on the first two, but the scale isn't proportionate here: The first two are like lightyears ahead in importance over the rest of the list.

I agree, but they're also the least likely

Somewhere, a Valve employee laughs.

Wouldn't mind another skate game either

Hell yeah, Skate or another good Tony Hawk game.

Also I'm finding myself wanting a new Rock Band more and more. Would be sick if Harmonix brought out another one with brass tracks in addition all of the ridiculous stuff they did with 3 (vocal harmonies, keyboard, other odd stuff). Basically I just want to play ska because that would be rad as hell.

bring back the BURNOUT series

This, and a real Re-Volt sequel, not the korean rip-off garbage on the app-store. And give me a new wipeout, while we're making racing games here.

Hey arkane d00ds, make another dishonored. right now.

oh man, that looks real fun! Any plans for iOS right now?

Has serious gaming gone too far? Is gaming as we know it 'dead'? Is bread art?

Another team member, ‘CEO and Animator’ Jarosław Zieliński, has prominently displayed an endorsement on his public Facebook page of the Polska Liga Obrony: an established nationalist Islamophobic, anti-immigration hate group.

This reminds me the game "Terrorist Attack" (not sure about the game, i've read this article long time ago), made by white suprematists where you have to kill dozen of black gang members, coming to their house and kill them, in the way this game show it.

Also, i'm not sure how relevant it is to stalk someone's profile on facebook and decide that what you see if what this person his. We all know a person who re-posted once a shitty article about migrants taking our jobs and others nationnalists stuff. But you can't judge someone only with this hint. I don't say this guy is an angel or a devil, i'm not here for judging him. Just to prevent some witch-hunt.

Yeah the headline "neo-nazi" and the reality, anti immigration don't match up. Sensationalist nonsense.

"In this photo of the development team, we can see that one of the developers wears a shirt depicting a historical anti-communist military group (Żołnierze wyklęci, historically associated with the Freikorps) that is lionised by right wing extremists."

Marcem, you need to learn what nazi and right wing mean. They are not the same thing.

Ah you're right, my American values saw German things and thought Nazi (really though, was thinking the author actually did the reading they linked to, but I stand corrected).

Alright, didn't want to turn this into a political debate, just thought that watching them dig themselves into a deeper hole was funny.

Thanks, but the problem isn't where it is, but how to use it. It just provides a means of getting the raw demo information. The point is that some sort of script needs to analyse the data and plot "coordinates vs chosen event" to put it crudely, allowing you to then plot the information over the top of a map. I'm sure the script itself could even have colour options.

That's my understanding anyway, this is literally brand new to me, and I don't know how many other mappers use this, but this looks absolutely essential in the interest of competitive balance, especially if people are fairly slow or vague on giving feedback.

But anyway, we stray off topic here...

Yeah, I think there's a website out there doing analysis, saw it on Reddit not too long ago.

MATHEMATICAL! Haha

I've always wanted to do this!

So you just run the GOTV demo (or POV demo?), open console and type "demoinfogo" ?

(I'm at work and can't test)

It's in the CS:GO tools bin folder.

Stop crying and fight/support something that matters. That actual goes for me to, should leave this thread now

This is extremely problematic thinking. Having "better things to do" isn't an excuse for letting something shitty fly.

The problem is that the game is completely tone-deaf. It's trying so hard to be the Doom for a new generation, but knows nothing about why Doom worked so well. Doom was a product of action movies filled with ridiculous practical effects, not a wish to kill people. This is just glorifying going on a massacre/trying to scare the old people. It's especially tone-deaf when it comes days after someone threatened to shoot up a school because of video games.

There are dozens of us! But seriously, I could smother a human with one hand...

They follow market trends, and people keep buying bigger phones so bigger they get!

They still make smaller phones, they just aren't the flagship models. I think technically the display would be 1440p as it's a 16:9 ratio and would be expected to be used in landscape for full potential.

I've actually made a paper prototype of it to see how it is to hold, and they've done a good job, it isn't that much wider than a nexus 5. Think half a cm wider and 1cm taller than HTC One M7.

The nexus Q was a different device which didn't tank, they pulled it before it rolled out, so i believe the only models around are pre-orders and developer previews. This is a set top box to fight right at the Apple TV and Amazong Fire TV level, although I can't say much for the quad core 1.8GHz atom sitting inside it. I personally prefer the chromecast for low cost and ease of use, but I'll reserve judgement on this until I see it in action as I didn't think Apple TV or Fire TV had much on the chromecast either.

Do they still update the Nexus 5? Maybe it's just that there's no big announcement that seems to me like they're just dropping it.

Oh, the Nexus Q was dropped right before release, due to feedback of having too little, according to wikipedia. Chromecast actually gained traction alongside Apple TV, which I don't think the Fire TV really did. Did the Fire TV get anywhere? It was leaning so much on "gaming" features when anyone who cares about games is just going to get a PS4 or Xbox One and use that for media+games. Chromecast just makes sense, in the end, you only need the power for video and stuff. I really doubt the Player is going to go anywhere.
