Fintilgin posted:Wait until Chris Avellone and Obsidian throw their hat in the ring. I'm sure ropekid/JE Sawyer will see this. Perhaps we should make a cross-post in the Fallout: New Vegas thread(s)? He reads those, as do many, many other people who might want to check this out. Though, admittedly, those people are probably already here.

Sorry if I missed it, but did they say that they were going to leave out fully-voiced NPCs just so that they could get more dynamic dialogue in there? Am I thinking of the right thing, or was that someone from Obsidian? EDIT: Either way, I totally support that thought.

Quarex posted:I am merging two of your posts Rupert: I actually just posted in the New Vegas console thread. I know the PC thread gets way more attention, but I've never posted in there, and I know for a fact that ropekid reads the console one. Also, I really do hope they go for text over voice, since then I can call my characters horrible, horrible things, and have the NPCs do it, too.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:I hate Hate HATE this! I can never understand why this is an issue. I don't think it's a programming thing, where sound files can't load fast enough or play so close together that someone can interupt another without the pause being there. If an action game can play bullet or explosion sound effects instantly when needed, why can't they butt up two sound files together so that it sounds like a proper interuption. I guarantee you that, with the audio engines of today (Wwise, FMOD, Miles, etc...) it's entirely possible to properly handle this stuff.

Help me, goons. I'm playing Wasteland (PC version, using Boxer for Mac)... how do I restart the game? I pretty much didn't know what I was doing at first, and want to start again from the beginning but no dice... I quit (with or without saving, doesn't matter) and when I boot it back up again, I'm where I last saved.

I really, honestly wonder how much of the money raised came from SA. I love and hate statistics; love seeing them (the more in-depth, the better), but I hate it when I want a stat for something that is more-or-less undocumented. For example, I'd love to know how many times I've died in the Fallout series of games. Bums me out that I'll never have a number.

Quarex posted:Thanks, CrookedB, for SHOWING HOW IT IS!!! I know I used a fallout stat as an example, but what I was really getting at was this, exactly. I wanna know how many dumps I've taken, how many times I've sneezed, or how much of a distance I've walked/driven (either/or). I'm not obsessed with this, however, since yes, it would be maddening.

I was going to chime in with 'Come on now, how do you rip off a drone', but then I heard Rinkles' comparison, and wow, that's crazy. Wasteland 2 should be scored by Vangelis. EDIT: If that happens, two of my party members will be 'Jon' and 'Mr Cairo'.

Ddraig posted:Alpha Protocol was one of the best written games in recent years. The amount of characterization in that game is incredible, and you can miss a lot of it depending on your choices. One of the characters in that game hosed around with the player so well that most people didn't even realize they were being played. That's how good the writing was. Who are we talking about here, Leland? Marburgh? Explain not just who but how. I've only done one playthrough so far.

In regards to Quarex's excitement, I don't see it as odd whatsoever (and yes, I realize none of you do either). I'd have to say that if Nintendo said 'Remember Mario 3? The next Mario game will be more of that. Just more 2D side-scrolling/frog-hopping/Tanooki-statuing/hammer-throwing/whistle-blowing/sun-fearing/airship-riding/world-beating/secret-finding/chainchomp-avoiding/koopakid-pouncing goodness, I'd end up a forums superstar from that one thread. SMB3 is, simply put, my favourite loving game of all-time. Keep on keepin' on, Quarex. And, when this DOES come out, you'd better get honourary first-dibs on a Let's Play of it. I can think of no one more suited.

RagingBoner posted:How would this be decided? Sure, you can whistle your way to the end and be done in 20 minutes, but my favorite parts of the game are getting all the little secret things in the stages, like this junk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz0pWoqtqm4&feature=related Well, that's what I meant by VS match... the multiplayer part. Tsk tsk. Also, that video is bullshit (though I'm not finished, nor have I watched the first part). The second 'secret' was 'goombah's shoe', which is actually known as Kuribo's Shoe, and is kind of right there in the open, not a secret at all.  about mario 3.The video can only redeem itself if it shows off the chain chomp getting free  EDIT: After watching the first video, I sort of take this back... I wasn't aware of every one of those 'Collect ## of coins for the white mushroom house', I thought those levels were more like 'collect all coins', as they usually were the auto-scrolling ones. Also, loving gently caress, that World 4-5 beanstalk to the tanooki suit. Had no clue. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Apr 5, 2012 |

Quarex, I had never even played Wasteland before this (heard of it, and played a poo poo-ton of F1/F2, though), but goddamnit, your enthusiasm hit me so hard that I fired it up during my 17-hour trainride last month. THANK YOU. EDIT: I knew I loved it when I had the option to use an item, skill, or ATTRIBUTE to rip a door apart. Wow. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Apr 6, 2012 |
