As you know when going through "Normal" mode or "True Vault Hunter" mode you can only play through the DLC one time, spanning both playthroughs.

Huh? I've done the DLC on Normal with one character, and it's available for me to go to on the TVHM playthrough with the same character?

News Comments > CONSORTIUM Kickstarter Redux

Imagine a game with the true first-person freedom and immersion of HALF-LIFE combined with the character interaction and development from THE WALKING DEAD or MASS EFFECT, finally spliced with the consequences of actions like in the original DEUS EX.

"This is not that game!"

Actually, kidding aside, it does look fairly interesting. RPS did a good article on it, and I think I'll back it. It should be fun for at least a single playthrough, and 15 bucks gets you the game.

George is a really cool guy, loves his fans, loves to meet his fans. BUT...he does procrastinate.

Procrastinate is when you release a novel a year too late. What GRRM does is so far beyond that it deserves its own new label. I hereby dub it "Martin'ed."

It's when you start a series in the 1990, write four books, then take the next fourteen years to write two more. (Book 3 was split into two parts in Europe)

Don't expect this series to ever end. When he released book four (Or rather I should say: Book three, Part two) he said he'd need two more books to finish it. Five years later, that had changed to three books. Then he released a book, and is now talking about three or four more. He is absolutely going to pull a Jordan on everyone.

That's what makes it so awesome. All the CoD "bros" (as Ken Levine called them when he was desperately trying to get them to buy his game) have no clue people are taking the fucking piss at them.

The midwest is slowly drying out, Australia is already a parched desert, and my parents keep complaining that it rains every single day in Holland.

We need to find some way to shift the global weather stream.

Next: id Software's Kickstarter for the next Quake game with only one goal: for just $1,000,000 John Carmack will be part of the development team. YAY!

Stretch goal: For 20 million, they promise not to use the shitty-ass Rage engine.

16. Re: Torment Kickstarter Adds Chris Avellone Goal Mar 22, 2013, 11:16 Creston
 
I'm still a bit dubious on the whole George Ziets thing, and now Avellone as well? Is Avellone really going to do that much work on Torment? And is that work going to hinder his work on PE? We already paid Chris 4 million bucks to work on Eternity.

Edit: Sorta explained by Dev's post below, but hmmm. There is no overlap with Wasteland 2 since the writing/pre-production on that is done, but PE is still very much in the middle of design, so I'm still kinda curious how Chris is going to do that.

Yep. Plus you can already imagine what it says anyway.

Cool new avatar. Kind of a Saints Row vibe to it.

They have to deny it, or the shareholders would have a fucking stroke.


Yeah, no shit.

If it really cost that much, though, they're going to lose so much money. I just don't see this selling 10s of millions of copies.

-long-term Witcher 3 support involving completely new mechanisms
-launch of the full version of the REDkit and further modding community support


That sounds awesome. If it sees even a tenth of the mod support that Skyrim has, it'll make Witcher 3 fantastic.

From the Techday article:

That's Geoff Keighley, of Doritos and Mountain Dew fame, annoyed that game reviewers might be selling out? Cry me a fucking river you epic douche.

Well said.

What mods do you guys feel are important to enjoyment of the game? The only mod that I have kept enabled has been for inventory management....

Any of the various HD mods. SkyUI. Some kind of lighting mod (bethesda's default lighting is TERRIBLE.) Beautiful Whiterun and Beautiful Riften are fantastic.

And I recently came across a mod called "Meshes fixed" or something like that, (I'll have to look it up at home) which takes all the shitty 3D consolized models, and has rebuilt them into proper 3D models that actually have depth to them and don't look like Doom sprites. It's a massive mod, and it noticeably increases your load times, but everything looks so awesome with it.

If you haven't picked up XCOM: Enemy Unknown it is a great game. Not without some bugs, but overall a solid release.

I ran into one bug in my 44 hours of playing. At one point I couldn't navigate around my base any longer. I exited the game, came back in, and it worked fine.

Great, great game. I have a few nits with the design (tech tree could have been deeper, no base invasions), but had a ton of fun with it.

Honestly, I think you've run into the teleport bug, but you just may not have realized it happened. The first few times I ran into it, I just didn't realize that's what was going on, and I figured the aliens were all just running to see what all the noise was about.

It wasn't until three fucking Mutons went from one side of that Rooftop map (where I had them cornered) to the other side of the rooftop map, BEHIND my team, where they suddenly got free flanking shots and wiped out my two main guys in Iron Man mode that I really understood what was happening (and that it had been happening plenty of times before) and I got really pissed.

It just ruins Iron Man mode, imo. It's fine to play normal with the bug, because it can lead to some amazing firefights but losing your team because of a stupid "Oh hai teh aliens are on top of U now LOLZ!" bug is just too aggravating.

First comment on that Asteroid story is priceless:

This is an easy one. Put a Cubs uniform on the asteroid and you render it incapable of hitting anything.

Hehehehe.

Okay, wait... So the Supreme Court ruled on something, and now the Feds are taking it to an appeals court?? What? Since when can you take a SCOTUS ruling to an appeals court?

Creston

The SC case was a bit open-ended. They said that the government might need a warrant. They did not say the government always needed a warrant.

The government is now testing when "might" comes into play.

It wasn't a very clear or, uh, decisive decision. They didn't say "you can't do this," they said "you can't do this in this case, and you might not be able to do it in other cases."

So now we have lower courts clarifying what the SCOTUS actually meant? Great. I'm glad to see the government is doing its fucking best to stop wasting money.

1 million is nowhere near enough to make EA happy, especially given the fact they had to actually put up more servers. So this is likely the last we've ever heard of SimCity.
