Why are so many video games broken at launch? Can you name a single game that doesn't have any kind of bug at all? The answer is no, not even pong or tennis for two were completely full proof. The reason for this is actually pretty long and probably isn't 'devs are lazy' but here we go...

So after a movie has been made and is on digital format it has no value? That is stupid. The movie had to be made for you to watch it, therefore you watching it has inherently cost the people who made the movie. Even if distribution costs 0 moneys the creation did cost something and if the...

It's missing pre-order exclusive content.

What is inherently wrong with cracking those jokes?

Yeah anyone can freely criticize a product, but I think the point of this is to define a standard of what is acceptable and what is not. For example you heavily imply that developers should have support for however long their community exists even though that may not be economically viable...

Generic shooting mechanics with boring weapons. Gravity Gun. If you think that is generic... I dunno I really liked the story, it wasn't really "You are the big hero and you will know everything as soon as possible." it's more "You are in this world and these things are happening." just...

Wait why does the phone game raise a red flag for everyone?

You are missing my point completely. There would need to be a reason for Valve to change the gameplay like that. I am not saying "No way! Valve better not do it or I'll hate Valve forever!" I am saying "Valve won't add things just to make the game more realistic and you should adjust you...

Thanks. I found the Corsair Vengeance LP for $86 and the G.Skill for $93 so both are pretty easy to get so I'll do some research and figure out which one is better. Man RAM is super cheap...

Cheers, are there any selections of RAM you would recommend? No, I will only do SLI or CFX if I need it. Any Motherboard recommendations for sli\cfx? Do you think I need it? (I hope not :P) The reason I need that much ram is for running games on my VMs, developing cross-platform games is...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Heavy Gaming (One monitor, but I will have three) Virtual Machine Mac OSX Virtual Machine Linux (Ubuntu) Very large projects in VS2010 (Want real fast compiling!) 1080 video streaming (with games and code) 2)...

It just sounds like he wants a simulation, not a game. He should look into simulations if he wants a simulation. Not that I am saying a game can't have the 'actually pick up objects' feature but that in some games it would be a hinderance to the gameplay. You are now talking about two...

Having that in a game needs a gameplay reason, i.e In Dead Island picking something up is a bit of a risk because you could get attacked while picking it up, which creates anticipation which fits the mood of the game. Obviously if Half-Life goes back to it's horror type of thingo then that...

Hrm, that sounds like you don't know what you are saying. A game in Alpha can completely change with only Or even no small echoes of the previous game. Beta means everything is functional but may not be tweaked or polished correctly. Also at the person saying you can't exit the game when you...

First I am going a bit off-topic: LOL! The difference between micro-evolution and macro-evolution is time. E.g if you have nine million 'micro-evolution' occurrences how different would you be? I don't get how you can accept micro but not macro-evolution. Lol, here is a simple...

Well...now you are just trolling.

Well, they spent more. It seems like that because you don't know anything about the process of creating an engine or game of that scale, especially for computers. :P :)

Define very poor QA. Do you define it as spending less than $1 500 000 on QA? (Techland spent at least that on QA) Anyway, if it isn't much different from the original I don't think I'll pick this one up.

Lol, Linux and Unix still have things like that, you don't have people running around as root on linux. You should still have a hardware firewall. Meanwhile, flash isn't a product of Microsoft nor is it a Windows component, it is a third party component. Also, you don't need loads of...

Only as insulting as the people I am quoting. I think I can rationalise that. No I don't think so, I would rather at least try and show these people how idiotic what they are saying is. I don't know what part you are referring to but: 40 people, look at the bms website. Then look at any...

You should look at the voice actors they chose. They are better than you until you give a showreel. Yes, really pointless to say as there is nothing stopping you from getting all the lines and then reading them yourself and giving them as a pack for people to use. Oh, I am sorry for assuming...

There doesn't seem to be any effort at all?...Just the time involved in getting the audio playing correctly is a crap tonne of effort, let alone getting someone to do the voice acting, reading lines, recording. You sound like you don't know what you are talking about. They are not acting...

Then what is your problem? They clearly say why they don't. They don't have to release if they don't want to. They don't really care about a stronger fan base, people will like it when it's released or they won't. They are not making the mod for you. No, I don't think you have. But those...

Why would he and how do you know? He knows how long it's taken more than you. I don't think you understand how long it takes to do things. If you had the task of re-creating the tram from HL1 from concept, mesh, texture, rigging, skinning, animating and scripting it would take you more than a...

Wait, do you actually HAVE to purchase everything from the built in store, I seriously doubt that is or will be the case. I assume it will most likely just be like the Mac store.

There are two things that perplex me: That generally, people don't understand that it costs more per/hour for each employee than just wages. Taxes Insurance Software Licencing Benefits Bonuses And 12 weeks would have to be using the most talented individuals at Ubisoft, not...

Wait, wait, if EA and Ubisoft are on your boycott list why isn't Valve? Remember how Valve has Steam? You know what gets old? People loving Valve for no reason...

This makes me laugh, most of these games were hard because of bad design, rather than hard by design.

Well that's a complete lie.

You saw the code itself did you?

Um, what about the 35 min speed run? There is a discussion here about speed running the game.

Even so, they are still vastly different. What missions are the same? The story is even told differently. The only similarities in the games is the story and they are both real time strategy.

I am sorry, what? If you actually think this you don't know Starcraft or Starcraft 2. So much difference in unit design, map design and game-play. Yeah, good old episode 3! It is incredibly difficult to stay interested in that story arc. Also at the people who think interviews, or questions...

Companies just want money, that doesn't make them evil it doesn't make them good. It just makes them try and get money however they can \ want.

Unidentified items and identify scrolls is stupid. It just created an extra step in getting an item, pretty freaking retarded IMO.

So what you are saying is, you aren't a hardcore gamer? Got it. Do quests, only pick up things with a good gold to weight ratio. Pretty much what others have said.

No. Skyrim would be impossible to create with the Frostbite 2.0 Engine.

I know all of that but I wasn't making an argument. :confused:

...Okay...but if there is no directional light source how is this scene being lit? Interesting Note: Directional lights don't actually have positions :P

This is true and if you disagree with it, you pretty much don't know what you are talking about. The only way to develop for every system is to have test cases for everything in-engine and in-game the runs on like 100 systems with every hardware configuration \ drivers they can find with...
