Oblivion was a groundbreaking RPG. Hard to believe it's been 10 years.

groundbreaking yeh, not innovative.. it was bethesdas first "mainstream" game - brought the masses into the fold

but Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind... it was already pretty well established formula by the time Oblivion came along

Modern gaming is mostly flash little substance with a few gems here and there.

Things haven't changed that much - we just only remember the good times. For every solid game you remember, there's 100 that you were utter garbage or completely forgettable.

thats total bullshit... times have definitely changed - steam releases more games in a week than in like 5 years back in the 80s

yeh im eager to see how they will handle the "open world" aspect of making your own character, with your own personality, etc.

can they do an open ended narrative and still keep it tight?

Honestly the War on Terror is a joke because the only way to win it is for the US to wipe itself out!

the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD is a joke

its exactly the same sentiments that have been expressed since the beginning, over and over, ad nauseum

this game looks really good, im looking forward to it

might have to check on that beta

Great QA work from Nvidia. I'm glad I didn't "upgrade" my drivers.

That's prudent.

is it prudent?

the watershed moment would be when some AAA game gets released and runs better on SteamOS than windows... that would make people sit up and notice, and it would be a kick in the pants for other devs too id bet

but that needs to happen before it will ever be a serious contender for this space

found it, found it

UFC star Ronda Rousey will take on Patrick Swayze’s original role in the reboot of 1989 movie Road House.

also dont really care about this, but:

An all-female Ocean’s Eleven remake is reportedly in the works, the latest in an emerging line of Hollywood reboots with women cast in traditionally male roles.

Not a remake, but Haywire was pretty underrated. Good flick.

i dont doubt it - my problem isnt chicks in movies, or whatever

my problem is the fucking REBOOTS!! its bullshit when its not all about the chicks also.. reboots are bullshit period, but the whole "lets redo it with a girl!" thing is even more stupid because its some attempt at justifying it with GIRLPOWER or whatever the fuck

LOL! Well...yeah! But we're not on Psychology Today's website we are on Blue's. And it was the point not the way I made it that matters. They keep trying to force shit on their consumers.

just tired of hearing that line.. like its meaningful in some way, when its actually completely meaningless... probly because tons of people i know say that shit constantly

found it, found it

right, just because it was comedy doesnt make it a "family" movie..

if anything it was runoff from the popularity of SNL and SCTV - you've got 4 actors from those series in lead roles

They keep doing the same thing yet expect a different outcome which is the Urban Dictionary's definition of insanity.

its a quote from einstein...

pretty tired of people saying this all the time tho - "insanity" is a hell of a lot more broad than that stupid fucking "definition"

i thought it would be 15-20 also

60 is a fucking joke

theres some other movie they are redoing as a "GIRLPOWER!!" redux thing .. cant remember atm but its all bullshit if you ask me

Mad Max.

is this really what the women want? the sloppy seconds? pretty fuckin retarded

Mad Max.

no no - its some other 80s movie that had a male lead and they are redoing it with a female lead...

i'll try to look it up later..

ok I just discovered they are doing it with "Lethal Weapon" but that wasnt the one i was thinking of... jesus christ this is like some new trend? wow... also apparently they are doing it with "Blade" as well

still cant find it, it was a really famous 80s movie like Rocky or some shit

The Karate Kid, and if that's something you're going to complain about...

You're also misinformed about Lethal Weapon, but don't let it stop you from being angry that they've cast a female in it but not as a lead.

im not angry but dont let that stop you from being stupid

nobody has even begun to tackle any kind of "procedural" storyline generation or quest structure... and that would not be impossible - just extremely difficult to figure out - thats why they always go for the low hanging fruit: the environments, items, creatures, etc.

actually i think the limit theory kid was trying to do that but he lost his mind or something and has been spinning his wheels for a few years on that.. last i heard it was "just about to be finished!!" as usual

anyways, the real business would be some kind of procedural AI that makes NPCs that react with each other and the world and the player, and do it in a somewhat convincing way - honestly with the bullshit storylines that these dumbfucks come up with these days, a computer algorithm cant do much worse... probly improve on it quite a bit
