"Not exactly scientific are you? So what you are basically saying is you really have no clue how to reproduce it."
Never said I could reproduce it... nor did I say I could recreate it at will. Hell, I am the consumer not the Q/A or one of the Programers on the game. Why would I want to spend my time reproducing a bug so that you can fix it unless I am looking for a job in the industry?
I have a fairly good job now and the pay is above average... no thanks, I will leave the bug hunts to you.

Cracked me up the other night when somebody came on here after I made a joking comment about how I can recreate the Red-Name bug a dozen times a map. He wanted to know just how I "reproduced" it. LoL!
I played the buggy ass game, Einstein. That's how I can get that and a dozen other bugs to show up on any given night. Though I'll admit if the game wasn't this fun it would have been abandoned long ago.
I hope for their sake they can clean up 2142 before releasing it. But my guess is the Red-Name bug, the rockets with no impact, the hit and miss damage detection, and a few others will all make an appearance in 2142.
Still doubt I will buy it. But who knows if enough of my Clan (gaming buddies) buy in I may do it just so I can join them on those nights I am willing to put up with the bugs.
Anyone know if they are going the same route with 2142? Ranked Unlocks? Ranked Servers? Nazi style Server control? Air Vehicles that are overly armored?

It All Comes Down To... |

...the Game-Play. If it plays like crap or can't hold my attention due to poor implementation then it is a no-go. Of course at this point a demo is a must. Or just waiting until others buy the retail product, play it for a week or two and then have the time to post on some forums.
I wanted this game badly when the original feature list was given... though most of that was either boasting or not possible... looking back at all the cuts made.
And now that they have a outsider running the show and making decisions as far as what and how to implement features I am more worried than ever.
Yes, I want this game to see the retail shelves but I don't want a cross between their original vision and the old school shooter. I didn't buy CoD2 or Fear because I am just tired of shooters at this point. Doesn't mean I won't buy them and play them at some later point when I have an interest in FPS again.
As far as Stalker I guess we are all forced to continue to wait. At least those of us who haven't given up all hope or written it off as vaporware.

Nobody mentioned G3. I was not impressed by anything but the Prey video. Gothic 3 will be great though if it follows in the footsteps of the first two. Not a mind blowing graphics experience but damned good game-play. And maybe they will actually release it in a timely manner here in the New World.

To be honest I was impressed by either QW:ET or the BF2142 videos. I do hope ET will be a good one though. 2142 I have no interest in at all.

I would buy that one. No doubt they know how to make games addictive as hell.
The new IP is what I am wanting to hear about. Since they now have the RTS, Hack-N-Slash , and MMOG. I wonder if they will sail into different waters... maybe an old school RPG? A FPS is in the works or was that shit-canned? And the adventure game or adventures was also shit-canned.
I am not a rabid fan but I like most of their products I have bought. I passed on WC3 though.

Re: Trojan targets World of Warcraft gamers: |

Got to love these trashy websites that warn of the WoW Trojan while displaying over a half dozen adds for farmed WoW Gold.
I haven't played in months but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be pissed to reactivate my account to find all my gold stolen.
The last story is a nice one. And I'm hoping since the WoW Trojan mails the info out the anti-virus companies already have the e-mail address and can/have given the info to the authorities. Maybe this time next year we will be reading about the arrest or sentencing.
Scary when you think about it. That hacker will most likely be gang raped as fresh meat in a Federal Prison soon. Hope the good times he had with the hundred grand were worth it. Though I don't see how it could have been worth it.

Yeah, the children are harvesters of a drug of some type which you can use. But to acquire you have to kill the kid and the Protector.
Hope to see a demo of this.

You're right I was very impressed by his presentation video of the game. That alone sold me. If they can pull it off on the whole Galaxy level this is going to be one huge hit.
I guess his pushing the envelope has already done that for him a few times. Though I only bought the Sims I was less than impressed. The game clock was set too fast. You had to get your Sim moving hours ahead of time to make it to any appointment.
That wasn't the only thing that ruined it for me. I just had more fun designing the house and less fun micro managing the retards living in it.
If the AI is good in Spore the game (inhabitants) will play itself while you manage other areas.

It definitely looks unusual. I have never played any of the SimCity games and the Sims stopped being fun after the house design phase. I will keep an open mind and may go out on a limb and buy this one since it seems to blend a lot of genres together as the creatures evolve.
Doubt there will be a demo but hopefully so.

After watching that video and having no previous info on the game I have to assume that its some kind of God Simulator like Black & White. Though hopefully done better than the original B&W was.
After reading that OotB I had a flash back of being on a beach on the Mediterranean isle of Crete. Where quite a few women go topless (got to love that). But one such day we were laying there soaking up some rays( turning orange from the sun, weird that Mediterranean sun) while drinking some Heinekens. A Greek family just having a day at the beach showed up and Big Daddy Greek for some reason thought it was ok for him to be wearing a black thong. Now if I were a two hundred and fifty pound hairy man thinking about wearing a thong at the beach I would not only be worried about scarring my children for life but scaring away the tourists.
I shudder every time I remember that day.

Totally weird how I just had two extremely enjoyable hours of play just now with not one of the bugs I told you about from this morning.
Leaves me wondering if I am just joining servers where Little Johnny is trying to host a 20 or 32 player game on his Dad's computer.
I just can't explain the night and day differences from last night to first thing this morning and then this afternoon. This past two hours like last night were excellent fun.
I would have to guess it was the servers I was joining. I was picking zero ping servers and tried at least six or eight this morning.
The one I just spent the most time on was a Clan server, well know clan. I won't list it because I don't want a bunch of people hitting it and ruining my good times.
Jury is still out on this one...

Second Impression |
May 6, 2006, 14:23 |
Paranoid Jack |
|

More Cons:
-Too Many Spawn Bugs to list them all but here are a few bugs that happened in the past hour of play.
I was in a game where I was going unseen and I could shoot tangos mostly they wouldn't even notice I was there but sometimes there body's would jerk with the impact of bullets and the spray of blood yet the bullets didn't phase them... no kills.
This and a half dozen other spawn bugs repeatedly happened today. Not on one or two servers but every single server I joined. I think I played maybe fifteen minutes or so with no bugs but as soon as the map or round changes the bugs hit.
Spawned into a black screen while you can hear the game-play going on around you.
Spawned into the game but have the score-board from the previous round stuck on-screen.
Most spawn bug require/force you to exit the server. They can not be reset or made to go away.
Spawned into the round to have no sound effects. Was able to get them back by hitting ESC then returning into the game. I have an X-Fi card.
Avoid buying this for the Multiplayer until the first few patches are released. And then do some more research before you buy to be sure the patches cleaned this mess up.

First Impressions? |
May 6, 2006, 12:43 |
Paranoid Jack |

I was just wondering what some of you guys thought about the now released PC version of GRAW?
My first impressions are varied. Seems the negative outweighs the positive but that doesn't mean the game isn't good or a fun multiplayer shooter. I played for about two to three hours last night and has a blast.
Strange how you can come out on top of the score-board even though your kills are lower. I know the larger points I received were for taking and controlling zones on the map. In one case I was top-score with a kills score of -1 for killing myself with a frag that appeared to fly a good distance yet somehow blew up at my feet.
Anyway here is how I see it.
Pros:
-Nice graphics and smooth game-play for the most part.
-Well done multiplayer maps. Some are quite large.
-Overall feel of the game-play leans more toward realism.
-Multiplayer games really benefit from the team-play though Run-and-Gun or Rambo player types can still have a good time.
Cons:
-Long load times (even with 2 gigs of RAM).
-Weapons models are a bit too large taking up a lot of view.
-Players view is smaller than I would like to see.
-Only five multiplayer maps were included.
-Appears to be a bit of net-code lag at times.
I say "net-code lag" because my ping was under a 100ms usually around 70ms yet I still shot tangos that were not hit or effected by my fire who abruptly stopped and shot me dead.
I would bet there are ini file tweaks already possible to modify the size of the players view and possibly the weapons models. If so can somebody give us a link?
As far as the game goes it has potential but first they need to release the stand alone multiplayer server so we can get away from the LameSpy control ones.
Second they should release a bonus multiplayer map or three. Or the tools for the community to make them. Not sure if they originally intended to do this or not.
Five multiplayer maps? If you are going with five or three fucking multiplayer maps you better have some damn tools for the community to make their own. Now-a-days it should be a given. But some studios/developers/producers like to keep tighter control over the servers and milk the consumers with their add-on or booster pack bullshit.
Third thing they need to do is get a patch out quick. Not saying it is a buggy POS. But I did spawn into a game were I was in the wrong zone in total darkness possibly under the map. So getting the support out in the media will let us see just how well they plan to support this one.

"Maybe it's just me, but possibly more a perception ideology. I don't see jesus at all in the ultrasound, what I do see is the grim reaper with his right arm up flipping the bird. I'm not being sarcastic either, that's exactly what I see "
I think it depends on what kind of high you have. If its a natural high you see the Man-God Jesus or possibly Charles Heston with a shepherd's cane. If you have a drug/alcohol induced high you will most likely see Beelzebub or another form of evil. And if you see nothing it means you need to stop nursing that drink and pound a few.
I on the other hand saw Bill Clinton playing the sax so I am going to check myself into a rehab center or mental institution first thing tomorrow morning.

The reason we pay so much for these over priced vehicles has little of anything to do with the unionize employees building them in the factories. Even if the guy turning those screws was an illegal immigrant working at $4.00 an hour the price of that vehicle would still be over-inflated.
Want to know why our vehicles cost so much yet still can't average over 30 mpg when the technology clearly existing?
It's the catch phrase most widely used by this Capitalist World we live in. Supply and Demand!. The reason why we pay what we pay for everything.
"Supply and Demand" is why every-time there is a little refinery fire in Bumfuck, Texas the price of gas at the pump jumpers fifteen or twenty cents within hours. Even though it takes roughly three months for that oil to become gas at the pump.
"Supply and Demand" is why every year at the end of spring like a flick of the switch Big-Oil says it's now Summer-Time and demand for gas is higher. So the price at the pump shoots up almost a dollar over the coarse of two to three weeks.
It is all bullshit but what can we do? We are a captive consumer base. We need the fuel to get to work. We want that large comfortable SUV that only gets 19 mpg. We are raised as consumers. Every commercial on TV is telling you that you need something. You want this product. You need this product. And we buy into it hook... line... and sinker.
Ignorance is bliss. Because when you start thinking about it and become more educated on how everything works it becomes depressing.
Depressing that Mexican nationals would leave their homeland (which sits on one of the worlds largest oil reserves) because they can make $4.00 an hour picking crops as an illegal immigrant. Or stay in Mexico a third world country making the equivalent of $.50 an hour (or less) doing the same things or worse.
Face it the World is going to hell in a hand basket and the only reason I am getting paid well enough to afford this over priced filtered tap water in an eight ounce plastic bottle is because I lucked out and landed a Union job.
