I don’t think the problem is players getting angry. I think the problem is developers over promising. If the footage they are showing is actually not possible for the game, then clearly they’re not in the right phase of development to show us what they’re making. Simple solution devs. Don’t show the proof-of-concept…

Yes, but the market can’t know what it wants if no one knows about it. I’ve noticed that publicity is 90% of what makes these kickstarter campaigns successful is how well it’s marketed.

Seriously?!? Did people’s mods destroy Skyrim for you too? How about Half Life 2? Were both of those games absolutely garbage because mods? You don’t have to play with mods if you don’t want them. Saying that mods ruined it is like saying that adding mustard to a sandwhich that didn’t come with mustard now ruins the…

There’s a serious lack of raiding content, and that is a huge issue. To put it in perspective, vanilla wow had Molten Core, Onyxia, Black Wing Temple, Zul Gurub, Ruins of Ahn Qiraj, Temple of Ahn Qiraj, and Naxxramas. Burning Crusade had Karazhan, Zul’Aman, Gruul, Magheridon, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, Mount…

The funny thing is that Rockstar could have avoided this whole fiasco by deliberately supporting mods, and giving players a pipeline through which to produce mods. By having control over that, they could have kept mods to strictly single player. Instead they did nothing, so modders doing what they wanted the only way…

Interesting thing. Half Life Episode 2 still says its’ the second in a trilogy of episodes on steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/420/?snr=1…
At this point, since valve has not confirmed anything, couldn’t that be considered false advertising?

I think the idea of paying for mods is great. That being said, this was implemented terribly.

Firstly, the community should have been told about it far in advance. It shouldn’t have been dropped on us.

Secondly, it should have been done with a new game, not Skyrim. Taking something that people were getting for free and…

Remember how one of the draws to a game like Skyrim was that you would get a huge increase in playtime because all the mods? Well now they’re all just 3rd party DLC. Skyrim just effectively quadrupled in price for PC players.

I guess I’m the only one underwhelmed by the look of this game. Melee combat ala Arkham. Driving and shooting. Seems fun, but nothing I haven’t seen before. The story will have to really stand out to be interesting. The one thing missing from this gameplay was one the developers know how to do well already, and that’s…

Actually that’s not from the mod. That’s from the explosive punches cheat. The mod adds way more power than the explosive punch does.

True, but once again this is only one aspect of the game. You have a bunch of artists and the physics programmers working together to create the gore. Then you still have the game designers and level designers who are working on the gameplay. It's like how war movies really have realistic gore, and they have a whole…

Game design is not a 0 sum thing. They can have a portion of the team dedicated to making it gory, while having other designers working on the story. Also, this isn't a single player game. There's not much of a story. Killing Floor didn't have much of a story. The original was really fun too. Also, you assume that a…

Well the plus side to that is that those people who use VR porn would probably be to busy with VR porn to go out in public and objectify women that way.

How many kids played Mortal Kombat and Doom back in the 90's and they didn't end up violent sociopaths? The reality is that the "tests" that showed violent games increased "aggressive" behavior included things like temporarily raised voices as indicators of aggressive behavior. The scary reality is that there's a…

I'm so sick of our old puritanical bullshit that has infested both the conservatives, and in a different way of thinking to the liberals in the form of feminism. Sexuality is bad to conservatives because sex is shameful because of old religious thinking. Sexuality is bad to liberals because any sort of sexual display…

We see Luce Bree, but where is Nuck Chorris?

Well, apart from DOTA 2, valve hasn't released a platform exclusive product in a long time. They've also been adamant about making sure that the platform is entirely open, and that options are available to everyone. While they are producing their own headset, I doubt they'd make it Vive VR exclusive, as that would go…

Well, they still employ a ton of game developers, programmers, artists, and animators.

Well I think demand from developers will probably force the hand of VR creators to unify under a single control API for VR headsets. Kind of like how most video games operate under DirectX, even if they use their own graphics engine. Also, while the video looks good, watching it, and playing it yourself are vastly…

Valve is pretty adamant about open platforms. They are big advocates for Linux and OpenGL. I don't see why they would start changing their business model now. We will probably see an API come out with special tools for VR in a few years that all VR sets will probably set their standard around.
