Wait, this claims says that "[A QA guy] reminded me that the game is entirely randomised, not just the Alien itself but the whole layout of the station is different every time you play it."
Now that's the first I've heard *that*. I assume he means in terms of where androids and other people are... I don't think they are dynamically generating rooms and corridors, right?
Yeah, Sega burned up a whole lot of credibility with the whole Colonial Marines fiasco. Almost everything I've seen points to this being a good game... but then again, there was that lying Colonial Marines preview.
So I'll wait for reviews. Until then, if Sega said the sun was rising in the east, I'd still go to the window to check.
Dammit, I want to be cautious about this game, but all the stuff I've read screams "loving care and attention to detail".
8 people alive/dead => 8 bits on/off. So that's 256 possible combinations of survivors, assuming there aren't any guaranteed deaths, and including 'everybody dies'.
@darkpower: You missed Tubmlr and PAX, too. It's really that hard for you to *read* the article?
But in any case, let's see about "many men". Are there *not* many trolls? Are they *not* overwhelmingly male - especially the ones that send rape threats? Exactly how do the words "many men" *not* apply? Sure, there are plenty of men who don't do that crap - but *as I said before*, that's why it's "many men" and not "men"...
@darkpower: "Actual sites"? You missed the name of the largest video site in the world? Owned by Google? Sorry, even if you're actually trying to have a conversation here, I don't know if I can take you seriously.
And part of her point is that trolls take a *very* different approach toward women than men. When's the last time a troll threatened to rape you? Can you imagine it might be just a tiny bit easier for you to ignore them?
All th...
@darkpower: OK, let's hear it. How would *you* phrase the point? If she'd said "men", people would bash her for stereotyping. She said "many men", and somehow *that's* stereotyping, too.
Look, dude, it's not *women* who send messages like 'You'll know when I r*pe your mouth hole, b*tch!' It's men. And yes, there are a *lot* of them, because it happens *all the time*.
So, put up or shut up. How would you phra...
Wow, the article specifically states that (a) it's only a subset of men who harass and (b) that the problem is cultural rather than inherent to biology. And yet it's "male bashing"?
What - exactly - is the problem? Do you think that it's the case that "men and women receive the same harassment online"? That's the idea the article is specifically addressing. Do you think the examples are invented? What?
Rebellion actually did a decent job. I still fire up AvP 2000 once in a while.
The comment is overstated, but drivers *have* been an issue for AMD. They have definitely made good hardware, but the software's had bugs and problems for a while.
It's probably not a factor for most people, but Nvidia's Linux drivers are solid and on par with their Windows stuff, while AMD's Linux drivers have had their own history of problems. Since I do use Linux quite a bit, I don't even bother looking at AMD when I'm getting hardware.
There was also Ra.One that stole a lot from InFAMOUS.
No, it wasn't that bad. The main problem was that you actually had to read the manual in the days when nobody read the manual. <a href=" http://www.neocomputer.org/... guy fixed all the key problems with it</a>, and covers the whole story.
Alien/Aliens nerd here. Ripley did have a daughter (in a deleted scene from Aliens). And in Aliens, the script talks about the "*shuttle's* flight recorder", not the Nostromo's.
And the Alien script has the Nostromo underway back to Earth before Kane wakes up and has his last meal. So if *its* flight recorder survived, it'd be somewhere other than LV-426.
If you want to get *really* geeky, you can guesstimate the Nostromo's speed (th...
Actually, OpenGL already had features along the lines of Mantle and DirectX 12 when they were released. But yes, competition is good!
Being good's always been tougher in the Infamous series. You have to worry about civilians. That made powers like "Thunder Drop" only rarely useful. As evil, you could just blow everything up, or even use civilians as a source of energy.
I always did two playthroughs - Good/Normal, and Evil/Hard, for that very reason.
I always do a Good/Normal playthrough, then an Evil/Hard. It's easier when you're evil and don't have to worry about roasting civilians.
I recall back when the PS3 and 360 were new, the fanboy wars over how multiplat games looked worse on the PS3. (For some reason the Ghostbusters video game seemed to be incredibly important for a while.)
It never made me regret getting a PS3. I mostly went for the exclusive games anyway. It'll be pretty much the same with the Xbone. It *does* have some features the PS4 doesn't have (Kinect, HDMI pass-through, etc.) that make it a somewhat better media center than the ...
I've been replaying I1. It's good, but some parts of it can be a slog. A couple tips - get Induction Yield ASAP. Don't be afraid to take the high ground; it's easy to get swamped on the ground. (And in the boss battles, if you're good, use the rockets; if playing evil use Arc Lightning.) And if you're going for trophies, PM me for a couple tips.
I2 smooths things out a lot. Just tons of little improvements that add up to a much more polished game. And ...
If there were a buffer overflow or similar security problem in the Blu-Ray code, then people could potentially stick in a specially-crafted BD-R and hack the console. Companies often call such bugs 'stability-related' rather than security-related so as not to draw attention to the problem.
It's even sort-of-true, in the sense that if you don't abuse the bug correctly you'll crash the machine. Sometimes that's how they are found, some dodgy but legitima...
Or maybe instead of shutting down people who say things you don't like, you could try to fund or even start outlets that say things you do like? I mean, if you're right about the corruption, then a better, non-corrupt venue should wind up more popular, right?
