apparently you just arent intelligent enough to understand the difference between Star Citizen and Mass Effect - most notably, the entirely different technology involved, but also the massive corporate infrastructure at EA vs none of it at CIG

Did you forget to take your pills again?

I will try to understand your thinking. Andromeda and Star Citizen are different games made by different people working for different companies and as such they are completely different and so, people should be forbidden to compare them or be subjected to spitting on their face in public?

Between that and Star Citizen I'm starting to think kxmode is a Professional Victim.

Gamezone is reporting that Alison Rapp was working as a call girl named Maria Mint. The Maria Mint site is down for maintenance, but the image directories are all still up. The Gamezone analysis used jewelry and mostly covered tats to suggest it was her. Other analysis showed the camera and lens serial numbers match up between the pictures on Maria Mint and Alison's Deviant Art account. I felt the evidence, while solid, could have holes poked into it. Kotaku, for example, ruled the findings inconclusive. So I did my own analysis, looking at marks on her skin. The collarbone moles in this picture of Alison appear to match up with this picture of "Maria." Also, zoom in on "Maria's" chin. There's a set of four small freckles here that take the shape of a trapezoid. Here's a another picture of Alison. Zoom in on the chin, and you'll see the same trapezoidal set of freckles. Looks pretty conclusive to me.

I have no issue with call people. The work should be either legal and regulated or at the least decriminalized. But it's not right that Nintendo is getting lambasted over this when it seems pretty obvious that a company trying to maintain a wholesome image wouldn't want their publicists secretly moonlighting as prostitutes.

But I fail to understand why is there so much speculation around this game.
Crowdfunded game or not, it is a AAA budget title.
I don't see anyone saying Mass Effect Andromeda will fail although it has been in development for about the same time as Star Citizen and has shown considerably less footage.

The game came out over a month ago. Why are they just now getting around to doing this?

And was it obviously an exploit?

I remember EverQuest having a dungeon with a bridge in it, and running over the bridge then jumping down (and the monster wpuld run back off the bridge and around and down rather than jumping) was an "exploit."

Meanwhile in most games, that is strategy. Of course, "zoning" to flee a fight you were losing was considered an exploit at first, too.

a HUGE portion of that game was John Marston. I hope they write another character as fantastic as he was, and find another voice actor as awesome as John Wiethoff.

I saw a rumor this might be a prequel, but that could just be speculation...

That'd work.

People always bitch about linear shooters, but when one that isn`t appears, nobody`s interested.

The `Murica! angle aside it`s supposed to be a dynamic battlefield kind of game. Very curious if they`ll manage to pull it off...FPS AI has been put on hold since Halo, seeing as the only thing that matters these days is MP.

Because AI is generally a bad investment. In order for AI to shine, the character needs to stay alive long enough to see it. In order for that to happen, they either need to be bullet sponges or you need to be very inaccurate. Neither of those are fun. So while AI has improved, it's rare for the player to even notice. Plus, sometimes dumb AI is dumb because it's more fun for that. In real life, if a guard notices you he'll radio other guards, they'll lock the area down and turn on all the lights, and you'd be found and killed immediately. That's no fun in games, so they're coded to go "huh?!" and forget you within 30 seconds.

It was clear before the launch, too.
