    Xbox sandbox game for 10 year old?

    For now, there is FortressCraft on xbox. I don't know of any other sandbox style games that aren't filled with some sort of violence or mature themes (GTA, Oblivion / Skyrim, Fallout, etc).

    Terraria

    Do you have any solutions? I've been trying to find a solution to this very problem for my game, which is pixel art from the same side perspective. I don't have the problem of it not being fair, as unless a player has already been to an area, it won't be lit. The extra information on the screen...

    Project Sulaco

    You can get acrylic cement at your local hardware store for a few bucks that will bond the plexi/perspex together. Keep up on the build. It looks nice!

    Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

    There's playing tactically, and then there is camping. I find this game to have far more campers than any other FPS I've played. Spawning with someone pointing directly at your head is always fun too.

    Which resolutions should all PC games support?

    Maybe I'm focusing too much on the relation to my own project. I don't see how I could make pixel art shrink any further. Increasing to any resolution higher than my base, 800x600, is simple (not quite so simple if you didn't want to either scale or let the player see more of the scene). I...

    Which resolutions should all PC games support?

    The forums would be up in arms if a game shipped with a resolution option that made the game entirely unplayable, even if it was a resolution they had zero intention of playing at. Personally, I'd rather not include it as an option if I know it isn't going to work correctly.

    Which resolutions should all PC games support?

    A PC game should really support 160x200? Really? There is a difference between the games graphic engine being capable of running at 160x200, and building a user interface that works just as well at 1920x1080 as 160x200. It may only take 20 extra minutes to get multiple render sizes in place...

    Which resolutions should all PC games support?

    I'm not adding support for 640x480 for my game. I'm not going to rebuild the UI to work on something that small. 800x600 is the lowest I will go. Even netbooks have higher resolution than 640x480.

    Skyrim : 5000 Cheese Wheels + Dragon = Fun

    I understand that. With the addition of the physics in Oblivion onward, placing items is a pain in the ass. I'd rather have static placed items than items with no weight flying around the room when you hardly bump them.

    Skyrim : 5000 Cheese Wheels + Dragon = Fun

    It doesn't take all that much memory to have a carry weight and a physical mass variable. Expose the carry weight variable to the player, and use it for calculating how much you are carrying. Use the physical mass behind the scenes to calculate motion. That way heavy things don't go flying...

    Skyrim : 5000 Cheese Wheels + Dragon = Fun

    I meant to refer to the developers implementation using said physics engine. Whether it is the engine or the develops use of said engine, the outcome is still the same: everything gets tossed around as if it has little to no weight. It doesn't have to be a perfect simulation, but it isn't...

    Skyrim : 5000 Cheese Wheels + Dragon = Fun

    It always seems like Havok needs to take mass into higher consideration. Cheese wheels are what, 30-80lbs depending on the type of cheese, yet they get blown around like they are made out of styrofoam. It is as though most physics calculations are using distance, time, and an arbitrary force...

    BF3: kicked from eGO server for a wirty dord!

    I'm not saying you specifically are doing this, but many do. The game may curse, but it isn't directed at you. The disrespectful crap people say/type to one another is ridiculous. One thing to cuss about something, a whole other to treat other players like shit.

    Game of the Year 2011

    6-7 hours now standard SP gameplay?

    Skyrim and Xenoblade Chronicles make up for my short time in SP with other games. But, they are admittedly outliers. I understand games cost more now than before, so you can't make a game as long in the same amount of time or for the same amount of money. But, some of these companies are...

    Skyward Sword Thread

    I had the same problem with jabbing the spiders, then I realized I was jabbing too forcefully. It was probably throwing off the gyro. Try jabbing with less force. Less of a jab and more of a poke, and it worked perfectly.

    Skyward Sword Thread

    I really tried to like this. After eight hours I give up. I love the art style. I like the motion controls. I still feel like they've taken everything I loved about Zelda and washed it all out with stupid fetch quests and random grind just to increase play time.

    Does adaptive multisampling decrease performance for games it doesn't work on?

    I'm not sure. But why leave something enabled if it doesn't work? And if you can't tell a difference between it working or not so as to leave it on just in case, then why take the performance hit in the first place?

    What's the difference between Windows 7 and Windows Home Server 2011?

    I don't think there is anything in WHS that can't be done on 7 with some other software/tools. That said, WHS puts it all together and makes it very simple to get setup and going. The way I look at it, if you want to tinker then run a different OS and go at it. If you want to set it and forget...

    Skyrim lockpicking - PC vs consoles

    Is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time still worth playing for the first time today?

    I think that is the biggest problem for me. The transition was a huge change. Thinking about it, I do prefer the 2D games over the 3D ones. Had OoT been a world filled with more, stuff I guess, then I would probably have liked it more. The overworld just felt too empty to me. Everything was...

    How do you aggressively build money in Skyrim?

    If you can enchant, you can take an iron dagger which nearly all the mages seem to carry, use a petty soul stone, and there are several easy to get enchantments that bump the value to near 600g early on. I only seem to sell things for ~1/3 its total value, but it is an easy way to get a few...

    Is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time still worth playing for the first time today?

    It's finally happened: Auto-Renew can now be toggled on XBL website

    They've gone back and forth on it as far as I can tell, as I've cancelled auto-renew through the website at least three times. You had to go through like five or six pages to get there, in some super obscure spot. Another time I went to do so and it wasn't there any more and I did have to call.
