MOBAs are so boring. It's literally designed for passive aggressive turds who can't handle a game with any real pace to it. The games go on forever, not because there's any kind of strategic build up or big grand plan in action, but because everyone just stands around afraid to engage because they don't want to get blamed for feeding.

So this is what happens when game studios becomes too big. Do they think that a game idea will not be financially good enough. they put that idea down. This kind of thing happened very rarely in the 80's and 90's.
It didn't used to take a 100 person team 2 years to make a game in the 80s and 90s. It still doesn't, depending on what you're making. But if people want diversity and high risk projects, they are going to have to give up a few things. |

So, it's not too far fetch to conclude that backing off ridiculous DRM probably made a significant difference in the PC sales of those games.
I don't know. It usually takes a pretty big clusterfuck for even the average PC gamers to really care about DRM.
Look at all the people who bought Simcity knowing full well it had always-on DRM. The backlash only begun when it caused tangible problems, i.e. no one could fucking play, and was compounded by significant shortcomings in the actual gameplay.
At the end of the day, gamers are happy when the game starts up and they can play it and have fun without significant issues. They only notice the DRM when it doesn't work.
If even a PC exclusive from the "worst company in the universe" EA can get a decent number of sales with well publicized always-online DRM, it's hard to really put a lot of weight behind the "PC gamers will boycott anything with online DRM!" sentiment. |

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. |

Given past behavior and information concerning their previous "new engine", is it too far fetched to think they might not still use Gamebryo as part of the basic foundation of the current "new engine?"
Doesn't seem likely. Radically different games by different teams, and as far as I know, their new engine is somewhat based off the Hero Engine, which they licensed.
Either way, even if it was Gamebryo, it's unlikely they are going to be letting users run unrestricted mods and give them full console access. |

I just want Eureka back, f*ck everything else on Syfy since they epic failed the Eureka call.
Eureka pretty much ran its course. I loved the show, but I don't think more of it would be that great. It'd just be a decline.
As for Defiance, it's got some potential. But quite frankly it doesn't need to set the bar very high, there's not much competition in the scifi market at the moment. Essentially zero in fact, and the other scifi shows coming down the pipe are obvious first season cancellations.
So, here's hoping Defiance can improve a bit, because scifi fans have jackshit else to look forward to.

| It's pretty clear from watching this that they've done a lot to the game and it's not just a couple extra weapons and enemy skins on the same exact map. But I expect that won't stop the "Waaah its just a DLC pack!" people. |

Yeah, I know. I was hoping that they would just take the work they did on the expansion and add it to a proper sequel. Instead, it looks like they just renamed the expansion and called it a day.
Because it takes place in the same city and they didn't erase the source code and start over? |

The show is decent. I rarely like a show in its first season as the actors have not grown into their characters and the producers haven't settled on a direction, but I've been enjoying Defiance so far. It also gets boosted by the fact that you have very few other choices on TV for sci-fi anymore. Take it where you can get it.
I haven't played the game. Seems like Third person shooter + GW2 + Rift from the videos I've seen from Total Biscuit and others. It's good to see a slightly more inventive mix of elements in an MMO instead of hotbar gear grind shitfest, even if it isn't amazing. |

Says who? CCP? Yeah, because they've never lied or cheated before. I'd be amazed if they even had an actual 50k persistent subscribers. And no, it's not for 10 year old COD kids. It's for 10 year old griefers who think the height of entertainment is trying to ruin everyone elses fun. When these comics fail to move and this TV show gets canceled after its failed pilot you'll see.
Wow, this is the most I've ever seen you talk out of your ass about shit you know nothing about. First, 50k subscribers? They peak at like 35-40k accounts concurrently online, to say nothing of their subscriber numbers. It's unlikely they've got 90% of their player base online at one time. Second, good luck finding 10 year olds in EVE. Any 10 year old who has tried to play it has probably committed suicide. 10 year olds can't handle the kind of losses you can suffer in EVE if you're stupid. EVE's player base skews older than any MMO I've ever played, and the only people who call it "griefing" are people who either don't play, or played for 5 days and went back to World of Warshit.
How about you stop complaining on other peoples behalf? The people whose "fun is being ruined" actually find that to be part of the fun. Not everyone likes a risk free casual Facebook gaming experience bud. |
