Less of a point in extracting it since most games already exist in ROM form. You definitely could if you wished.

I remember a story from years ago, possibly related to Division 1 or another cover-based 3PS. The bots were using a lot of teamwork, working together to flank individual players. Unfortunately, their level of teamplay was so insane all the playtesters felt like the bots were cheating, because they’d punish humans…

That would be cool! But I’m definitely not accomplished and would be doing it more as a hobby on the side. For a full-color rendition, there’s plenty of top-tier painters I would think would kill this project. It’d probably take 50+ hours to paint the entire thing perfectly and I have a full-time job on the side. More…

As a model detail painter, I so want to have a run at just painting that, lol.

I’ve seen a few questions about the target audience for this. I have seen people say that it doesn’t exist, or an answer for a question which wasn’t asked. As a potential buyer, even taking into account all these “problems” we’ve been seeing (most are not... so much problems we were hoping to be solved anyways), I’d…

Unfortunately, that’s how company culture works. When a new person joins a company and they see something is wrong, and they push against that, mid/upper management will usually string them along, creating this futile effort. Eventually, people realize that nothing will be done and become part of the same machine they…

I’ve only seen this work well in one trading card game, and that was Pokemon TCG for the GameBoy Color. The Legendary Cards:

As a person who has owned a gaming laptop going on 16 years, I think it’s high time I switched to something like this. The problem I’ve had with gaming laptops is that they never get smaller. The graphics and power consumption keep going higher, so the form factor for most computers is in the 16" market, with only…

The art seemed fun. The gameplay was terrible, if you could even call it that.

If you run EMP stickies it usually permanently stun-locks them because of the duration.

Unlikely, because a laptop’s form factor is its constraining factor. They’re usually less than an inch thick and come with a battery. Because of the requirement to able to run on the battery, additional hardware limitations also come into play.

Welcome back! Since you’re the big cheese now, could you explain the origins of Kotaku’s logo? I never realized how stylized it was until you sandwiched it as the head photograph and now my inner graphic designer is piqued!

I’m sure the warranty helped reduce the pocket pinching worries, but the failure rates are much lower these days compared to Red Ring of Death console baking parties from back then.

The original XBox never drew a profit to my recollection, either. Because of how console wars have been going, it’s unlikely that the actual hardware will ever be any more than bare-bones profit, simply because it’s the loss leader for the entire ecosystem of XBox products (Wikipedia has a good article on loss leaders…

Licensing fees are very favorable for those who use Unreal Engine. Unreal Engine is free for most users. Then, there’s a 5% royalty fee if you make more than $1M on the game, which is usually only big budget studios and very successful indie games.

The effort to subscribe and cancel for a single month is a bit more than just buying a single month, i.e. a hassle.

They’ve flattened out gun stats a lot so it’s much easier to compare things. General enemies are much easier to kill than in Division 1. With a properly built sniper rifle setup, you can chain headshots together and get one-shots on Heroic enemies.

I’ve been a Division player since Day 1 of the original game, and Division 2 as well. The game has been ups and downs, and there’s always some weird things that make Division 2 less than perfect, mostly related to its lifecycle and game balance being very see-saw.

Veteran Div1/Div2 player with 1000 hours in both games. They took a much lighter approach on farming in Div2, and made gear rolls much less complex. A decent 80-90% minmax build can be fully kitted out in about an hour with targeted loot drops. The season doesn’t really lock very much “content” behind walls. Most of…
