I dunno. I hate to say it but I picked this up thinking it would be awesome..and I'm pretty disappointed really. The graphics aren't nearly as good, IMO as people seem to be exclaiming. The gameplay feels very samey. One of the main NPC's you encounter obviously has something done differently or incorrectly in the creation…
Nay. I've only played on a PC with keyboard and mouse. UI and software mouse are horrible on PC. can't bind any of the character, ability, quest journal or anything to a key so you have to use the laggy mouse to click in the lower right corner or hit the Home key to open your menu then click through. The code for a…
I'm old enough to remember watching TOS when it was on NBC! I loved the movies. I really loved (except for a few episodes) TNG. DS9 did not have me at first, but at some point it evolved into a pretty damn good show. I did not really like Voyager ever, but when they got into the Borg vs "those aliens that hunted the Borg"…
coming from a father and husband, if you really want to do this, you need your family behind you because it will absorb all of your free time (if you want to succeed). the rule of thumb i follow is something along the lines of what Vitaliy mentioned in a previous article for a gameartisans comp.... "Not only is technology…
I believe oXYnary is referring to the fact that many first person games have a separate set of models and animations for both the first person perspective (these are high quality assets such as the gun in a player's hands) and the third person (or world) perspective (these are generally lower quality assets, such as the…
Excellent! Alright, so this is the first prop I make that's not a cube or a badly textured trash can made to test how I import models into games, and I'm sure it shows. I just want to mention that this is WIP on an early level. The bed "frame" is just something basic I threw together for a quick base, while the broken beam…
i don't so much have trouble with shooting as far as wanting to shoot in different ways. violence and weapons etc. will always be with us, i simply find myself more and more drawn to games that make the shooting more interesting. primarily tactical games (make shooting more like real shooting/tactics etc. while still…
Welcome! I'm going to preface this with the fact that my answer isn't based in proper technical knowledge. Those are conclusions drawn from seeing those things get done, so take them with a grain of salt. 1. Let's say you have 10 heads, 15 hair styles, 5 torsos, 5 legs. You have a total of: 10 x 15 x 5 x 5 = 3750 possible…
I've been playing all weekend and after all the negative things I've heard during the open/closed beta I was greatly surprised. Either all those issues were addressed and patched when the game went live, or people just don't know their ass from their elbow. The world looks great, the art style is so much nicer than that of…
It's about following talent: I used to buy any comic drawn by Todd McFarlane I used to buy any comic written by Alan Moore I used to buy every album released by Metallica I used to watch every movie with Al Pacino in it. Common theme was, talent is what sold me on their products. I will buy every Blizzard game. I will buy…
