I didn't like Cutter's remark either, but let's keep RL references out of here.

It's not my fault I'm almost always right. It does, however, tend to piss off other people. Shit, truth hurts I guess.

Alright, this can't really be Cutter. He's always overcompensated for whatever sad little person he is IRL, but this is reaching parody levels. I wonder if Blue can check IPs to make sure nothing shady is going on here.

What?
No, it sounds just like Cutter. I actually think he's gotten less obnoxious over the years. Or, I should say, negative. For a while all he contributed was "this sucks!" or some variation.

Now he's more likely to follow it up with discussion and generally be entertaining and/or interesting, as well as his standard negative and arrogant.

The more complicated the AI code the harder it is to have the sorts of "free" systems you have in this title.

Yeah, like Creston said, the idea isn't to make the AI as realistic as possible. The idea is to make it a challenge to overcome, one of many in the game.

Scenario: Hacker terrorist is on the loose. You're a security guard at a key site. Realistically when electronic devices start to screw up, the very first camera goes offline, or anything out of the ordinary happens at all: SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING. And then call in the national guard.

That's not very fun if you're trying to do a stealth playthrough without the benefit of a cloaking device, because you rely exclusively on distraction, timing, and exploiting the weakness of the electronic security. If none of that matters because the guards fall back to key locations with clear lines of sight at the first sign of trouble, then you've killed a huge portion of the gameplay.

I didn't mind JA2 after that last big patch that added sector inventory. Before that I found it too tedious.

I know zombies are done to death (har) but I was on a DayZ kick at the time and remember thinking a zombie survival game could be cool with the JA2 engine (inventory, group systems, etc). Too bad it was so un-moddable :/

Well, the last one was disappointing for me. They really need to work on the AI, from what I was seeing.

Take any JA game and you can say the same thing. I'm kinda amazed this IP keeps getting remade, all the JA titles have been pretty crap.

I can understand the hate coming from people who have poor or unreliable internet connections, I have quite a few friends who moan and bitch rightfully about this. In certain places its really hard to get on a good internet provider and for those people its really a bitch if they want a game that is EXCLUSIVE to Steam.

Offline mode. Issue quite easily resolved. If you mean downloading the game in the first place steam picks up right where it left off if the net goes out so not sure why it's a steam issue.
