  1. Re:Good work guys on The Making of Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 1

    Vice city and SA were made because they couldn't do the big enough jump for GTA4 yet.

  2. Asheron's Call accuracy on MMOGChart Update 21 Now Available · · Score: 1

    10-15k or 30k but a accuracy rating of B?

    percentage wise those are very different numbers. The health of the game would be very different in each case.

  3. Re:Eye candy on Quake is 10 · · Score: 1

    modding seems to be taking least importance as newer games get harder and harder to mod for and have smaller communities.

    just for example since it is what i played the most
    quake 4 has few mods and maps
    quake 3 had more but less than quake 2
    quake 2 had tons but nothing extremely creative over quake 1

  4. Re:Next you'll be telling kids to get off your.. on Quake is 10 · · Score: 1

    quake 2 had really fun multiplayer :)

    iD isn't much of a gamedev company anyways. They make tech and a shell that people can demo the tech with. The singleplayer games are something other companies are supposed to look at for what they can do with their own game.

  5. Re:10 years! on Quake is 10 · · Score: 1

    tried googling it? I recall a page existing that hosted the file. It was talking about the motion blur matrix feature for voodoo 3 series cards that was later removed from the game. T framing maybe?

  6. Re:Yes on Do MMORPG's Cause People to Buy Fewer Games at Retail? · · Score: 1

    yep. Since asheron's call i've spent less time buying other games. It wasn't until I had a gigantic disposalable income that I bought more than a few games a year. Even still most, or at least half of mine or presents.

  7. Re:Good lord, man... on UBC Engineers Reach Mileage Of Over 3000 MPG · · Score: 1

    Maybe if I am dropped from orbit and into an ocean.

  8. Re:km per liter on UBC Engineers Reach Mileage Of Over 3000 MPG · · Score: 2, Informative

    They don't have to go to europe for that, UBC is in Canada which uses metric.

  9. Re:Misread the headline on Activision's Kotick Discounts Downloadable Games · · Score: 1

    gas is getting quite expensive

  10. nice summary of a registration required article on Activision's Kotick Discounts Downloadable Games · · Score: 3, Insightful

    can't read the actual article.

    Digital distribition is weak because of a lack of a physical product. That will always be the weak point. For consoles full games for download won't take off for a long time because of storage space. PS3s harddrive is barely big enough for one blueray disc. Highspeed internet can't deliver full games that fast either.

  11. FIRE PRO! on Mechanics That Changed Gameplay Forever · · Score: 1

    The article mentioned firepro wrestling, i'm so stoked. Great edit mode.

  12. Biased on How Nintendo Could Win It All · · Score: 1

    Very biased and retarded article after reading the first section.

  13. Re:FF7 FTW on Final Fantasy vs. Oblivion · · Score: 1

    I was playing it recently too, trying a low level game but got stuck, will probably give that 1 or 2 more tries then level if it doesn't work.

  14. Re:Targeted Ads in Magazines on Penny Arcade's ESRB Campaign · · Score: 1

    Yeah I want to see what the higher ratings ads are like. The ones released I guess are E and T

  15. Re:Yeah... on Just Let Me Play! · · Score: 1

    The R8 is one of those few I mentioned that you would have to work for.

    Once you earn about 60 and buy a good car for winning lots of races you have a license to print money in GT.

  16. Re:Yeah... on Just Let Me Play! · · Score: 1

    I like the GT/TT method.

    Your first vehicle might not be great but (assuming you do the license tests) you can get a huge number of cars or bikes for your second. In GT games it's just earning that first 30-60k then the game usually blows right open to being a kid in a candy store with just a few things you can't get.

  17. Re:WoW on Shadowbane Lives On · · Score: 1

    yeah i'm waiting for the right pvp niche game while I play asheron's call. Playing on the white server I started on with a friend still because to move to darktide it would take weeks of macroing just to get to a high enough level to have a chance against 90% of players.

    Guildwars I have done a tiny bit of pvp but only at the lowest skill levels(random pvp arena as opposed to clan teams with larger numbers) the game is too teamwork based for me. Without studying the game rules(skill usuage) and working with the same people/setups all the time you can't be really good at GW.

  18. Re:Dumb dah dumb dumb on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    SotC may be great but it was almost niche. A lot of casual game players wouldn't pick it up. It was also a short game so anyone who really liked it would spend less time playing games this year if they only buy a few.

  19. Firepro on Games That Defined The Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    Firepro wrestling D

    best wrestling game of it's time and has still only been minorly improved upon.

  20. Re:translation on Revolution Worldwide Launch Possible · · Score: 1

    How much text are mario kart and pro onion chopper going to take anyways...

  21. Re:I absolutely, empathically disagree. on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 4, Interesting

    if by "interesting" you mean "goatse"

  22. Re:Progress Quest on What Are Some of Your Favorite RPG Quests? · · Score: 1

    damnit why is my level 75 forced to "fetch me a bunny" i am above this. Oh god before that i had to fetch a twig

  23. Re:Asheron's Call was loaded with good quests. on What Are Some of Your Favorite RPG Quests? · · Score: 1

    Unless you brought your own friends you would be alone though sadly. Also loot items have improved making most of the old lower level quest too easy (as well as lacking in material reward). If you killed monsters on the way to any quest dungeon they would drop better weapons than the quest reward.

  24. Re:Asheron's Call was loaded with good quests. on What Are Some of Your Favorite RPG Quests? · · Score: 1

    I liked the weeping weapon quest(well mostly just the last dungeon), lots of wartraps and some hard fights(if you did it on a level 60 with 1 friend)

    Gaerlan has lots of dynamics that are fun but I hate needing an archer to do it(I play solo or with just 1-2 friends). The rolling balls of death, riddles, indiana jones style floor puzzle(but no real logic to it unfortunately), mazes, great quest.

    Bobo is really fun just because it is something to do and repeatable every 3 days.

    IMO the quest started sucking around the end of 2003, and for all of 2004. All just zerg rushes through monsters. I don't think I ever had to heal that whole year... just had to keep ring spelling.

    I haven't done many of the expansion quest because all I like to do now is pvp. Questing isn't very hard with over 600 effective melee d on a mage.

    I noticed both posters having negative comments about macroing. I know it kept me playing instead of unsubscribing. The level grind just isn't enjoyable to me. I prefer to spend my playtime having the most fun I can and having a higher level character makes that more enjoyable.

  25. Re:Admiral Harkov's betrayal in Tie Fighter on What Are Some of Your Favorite RPG Quests? · · Score: 1

    A newer x-wing or tie fighter game would be great. I never got to play the newer(old now) games in the series. They could really shine on newer computers(or consoles if you used a pause menu for more advanced commands like energy management). Being able to fly rigth down to a planet or through the second death star would be great.
