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.

News Comments > Torment Kickstarter Adds Chris Avellone Goal

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.

Not going to give them the hit traffic for that review and I recommend others ignore it as well.

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:
causing a ripple of annoyance from various journalists on Twitter, including Spike TV’s Geoff Keighley

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.

Yeah, saw it download a few days ago. So far my mods seem okay, but that's admittedly after a cursory glance.

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.

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.

Most people are safe though, because there is a queue to run the remote execution. By the time the hacker gets a chance at your account, you are probably logged out of Origin.

Not a big deal, EA will fix it up.

Yeah, they'd be stupid to leave that bug in there now that it's public knowledge. IIRC, it didn't take Valve that long to fix it?

Ok folks, time to give SimCity a break as Aliens CM has a 3.5 gig patch.

Their announcement said it was 4! I truly wonder what it changes/fixes...


With that size, it's probably a texture update. God, I'd be so pissed if I had to download a 4 fucking Gigabyte patch...

Well, if they give you Mass Effect 3 for free, that's not a bad deal.

I wonder if Warfighter will get 5 downloads.
