There must be posts disappearing in Michael Moore's black hole here, I keep getting the 'new post' icon on this topic but I don't see new ones. I even clicked 'mark all topics as read' and now it shows a new post, but when I read the thread I don't see a new one. And my personal page says this topic has 3 replies now [e digicons]

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="21" id="2239131"]Personally, signatures never really seemed like a needed idea to me. Having the same message under everything you write doesn't really seem to achieve something that the Avatar fails to achieve. Having said that, I'd rent mine out to Google and make a small amount of money every time I posted. [/quote] Yes, good luck with that $2,83 a year.
Or someone might want to commit a 'crime', like shoot the president. Would that actually be wrong? You might say no, because he's not actually committing the crime. But if someone wanted to rape babies in the holosuite, would that also still be okay? Hmm it's getting phylosophical in here. I would probably enact a WWII-ish scenario, in which I'm a soldier in enemy territory, pretty much on my own. Why? I have reoccuring dreams about that. Not often, but every now and th
[quote who="the_hunger" reply="4" id="2229814"]@twifightDG Thanks very much for your thoughtful post. I'll be sure to look for your review of the "new" AI. (+1 Karma) [/quote] Only played one game so far, but there is definately an improvement. Especially early on in the game, AI demigods will 'kamikaze' less into the enemy base. I still had 2 of those silly chases (had probably around 10 before) where they were bound to get sniped by the to
Signatures tend to end up being either: 1) spam 2) political ideals 3) religious ideals 4) a scream for attention 5) any combination of the above And I feel sorry for you - not - but I don't care about any of them. If I wanna know your ideals I'll send you a PM.
boo, I wanna read the posts! still fooked up..
[quote quoting="post"]Finding ways to keep retail sales up. Sales are good now but let’s be real here, updates are fueled by new sales. If you guys have ideas on what it would take to get more of your friends to buy copies at retail and on Impulse let us know.[/quote] Demo. And more content. I have some friends that might want to buy it, but when they read 8 demigods and only a handful of maps they lose interest.
Well it's probably not a bug, and I had it before the update, but the page tends to take ages to load: [quote]Page Render Time: 0:0:5:323 (5323ms)[/quote] Now I'm in the EU and servers are almost certainly in the USA, but that is rediculous. I don't really care that much since pages load anyway and I just read another page while loading, but it's kind of slow for a forum. To compare, a random other site in the USA: [quote]<a href="/whitepapers/pa

[quote who="VarekRaith" reply="17" id="2237898"] It also doesn't help that because both consoles are internet capable, their games are starting to suffer from the PC game's 'release now, patch later' problems. Great fun, that. I also don't like this new tactic of exclusive DLC for cross platform titles. If you're going to do that, keep the freaking title exclusive as well! MS/Bethesda/Rockstar I'm gazing at you! Most likely Sony will start this crap as
[quote who="Prezo" reply="15" id="2237829"]looking at it from a cost point of view. your console may be cheeper as a original investment, but add in a few games (which you will have to buy to make any use of the console) going at around $100 a game (in my country anyway) and so if you buy 10 games you just spent the same as i spent on my computer which just happens to be a fair whack more powerful that what i last checked a xbox 360 could do. also when it comes time for an upgrade in hardware

And if it's not popular then you can forget the movie, merchandise, etc. But by all means try. Even the most successful authors at one point had a dream of makin
[quote who="StAcK3D_ActR" reply="8" id="2237665"]i dont know about you, but a console seems to be a computer, therefore it is limited to what PC's can do.[/quote] Odd conclusion. You don't seem to know how computer hardware works. A PC is a 'form' of using computing hardware. For many years to come the capabilities of hardware is what limits you. A console is also a form of using hardware. That doesn't necessarily mean the same hardware that the PC uses. You mus

[quote who="x4000" reply="19" id="2236648"]You are definitely correct there, Sorceresss. Since I'm the indie developer you quoted above (A.I.-design philosophy (http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php?topic=24.0), I can attest to a lot of that first-hand. The chief problem with coding AI at this point is that underlying mechanics of a CPU and a human brain are massively different. So if we try to simulate a human brain, we can't even come close -- researchers recently simulated a r
Sounds pretty awesome (I love the idea that the DG is the sword, trying to manifest itself), but the DG stance worries me. I think it'll get ppl killed really fast if a DG is stomping on them, and they also lose health because of the possession. You could make them totally awesome with dmg output in that form, but they the whole forum will be full of NERF!!one threads. Good idea, still needs some finetuning. I'm looking forward to other posts in this thread.
[quote who="pseudomelon" reply="24" id="2237554"]It will not be used widely in games, as it isn't a major part of the system. It's like building software around a headset, very situational. [/quote] But potentionally a huge market. I think MS had a good look at the Wii's succes and went from there. Wii Fit is one of the best selling games still. MS wants in and has the resources to make great technology for it. Bash the 360 all you want but they made a top end cons
[quote who="TiduZ" reply="3" id="2237541"]First they have to fix the high priority stuff, like improved ai since most of us are playing the singleplayer campaign. [/quote] Wasted sarcasm, as a lot of players have complained about the AI. You cannot know why they chose to fix problem X first, before problem Y. All people do is complain anyway, whichever option they chose.

[quote who="Lugh" reply="24" id="2237564"]So when is this coming? [/quote] Dunno about the USA but where I live monday was a holiday (mandatory), and I did hear frogboy I think mention that this week was a short one in the USA because of a special day, so just assume they'll be in office today (tuesday) and will be releasing it later tonight, I hope.
Well they can't really adjust a game just because someone broke his pinky! (I'm sorry for you for that though, it must suck, I once broke my wrist and I felt utterly useless. I hope it heals okay for you). But I do agree that targetting DGs should be the default and ctrl for minions. I do realize there are some ppl that do target minions a lot, but most ppl by far only target DGs.

I play single player, because I don't want to deal with other people. *shrug* Playing against the AI, I can get an experience that I can define myself in terms of difficulty (some days, I want a challenge, some days, I just want to kill everything in site like some outraged, vengeful...
