I meant whether Landmark would have that stuff. They're making two games, the main game which will come out later, and Landmark which is the Minecraft-y thing where people claim land and build shit which has a chance of being put into the main game, which is coming out later this year.
Environments aren't permanently destructible, a developer confirmed at the panel that the world would fix itself after a short time but that they're still tweaking how long that'll be. Anyone who's played on a Minecraft server knows why this is necessary.
Don't know how that'll apply to...
So SOE just unveiled the new Everquest (was anyone even aware they were making one?), and it sounds all kinds of too good to be true, in a "I wonder how they're going to **** this up" kind of way. Here's the press release version for the lazy.
And here's a taster of some in-game stuff...
I think it's a little different when it's your character's love interest since it evokes images which are, in many cases, probably intentionally provocative. That said, I did notice she sensationalized in parts, for instance referring to the mercy killings as "domestic violence," which just...
She does bring up a pretty wide breadth of games, including many western examples (the mercy killing ones made me pretty uncomfortable), but the way she chooses to focus on a lot of Japanese games is kind of weird, since she's not really taking into account their own cultural issues with gender...
Yeah it's well edited and researched, and yeah the portrayal of women in games is still painfully backwards in a lot of areas so it's hard to disagree with the main focus of her argument, but I had a little trouble taking her seriously when she kept putting everything in terms of simplistic...
Would have been if I hadn't bought a 360 really early on. Not that I didn't get plenty of enjoyment out of it, but I could have waited a while longer since the main deciding factor was that the PS3s was way overpriced here at the time. But yeah, I'm really eager to catch up on a few exclusives I...
If anything it'll probably be a PS4 but I'm pretty happy to sit out this console generation until such time as there are a number of really great games on either platform that I can't just run on PC. Doubt I'll get one before the inevitable price drop, at least.
Got a PS3 (slim 500gb, probably overkill) for Last Of Us then decided I should probably get some other games to justify my purchase. Good thing they're all cheap as shit now. Compy in the background there relegated to floor status (wow I should probably dust it off or something).
Crash Team Racing, Team Buddies, Tekken Tag (even though I sucked horribly), Coolboarders, SSX, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance off the top of my head. Edit: Micro Machines V3 and Circuit Breakers hell yeeeees. Then of course there's the ninty shit like Goldeneye and Mario Kart/Part but I didn't...
I skipped to a random point near the start to get past his ****ing novel of an intro and he was making a terrible joke in a terrible asian voice and then laughing at said terrible joke. Yeah, nah.
It's more awkward that you're talking with authority about something you have no experience with and then saying you're just speaking from "personal preference." Actually, that's not how you're coming off at all, and FYI I got the exact same impression as kine. Not that I'm trying to debase you...
Edit: DLC just came out so I doubt it, RJ. I'd say it's worth the $5 despite being so short, but I wouldn't rush to get it until season 2 rolls around.
This is a pretty cool interview/chat thing, it's interesting to get each of their perspectives on game design and see how much common ground...
