frothymug Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If it's by Zachtronics, it's gotta be quality. I loved SpaceChem and occasionally install it to play some more. I'm almost afraid to get any of his other games, due to their insane addictive capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about Shenzhen IO, but I've been to the actually city of Shenzhen. It's not that great. You're better off crossing the bridge and going to Hong Kong, or if you want to stay in the mainland (Hong Kong is nice, but doesn't feel particularly Chinese) go to Beijing.

I did notice the cockpit view shows a dual-throttle setup that "converts" your boring robotron-style inputs. It gives me all sorts of ideas. Big problem seems to be the game isn't set up for head-track aiming. If it was, dual-throttle would work AMAZING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter with Graphics like this? YESSSS! On 12/20/2017 at 8:24 PM, kajnrig said: What with Star Citizen having been sued by Crytek - and the charges appear at least initially to have some merit - I'd be worried about this project's future... Best of luck to them, though. There's also the entire Rogue Squadron trilogy, fully remastered AS OF NOW and the devs are literally just waiting for someone at Disney to notice them and throw them a publishing bone. On 12/20/2017 at 11:04 PM, Gerli said: Crytek it's done for, I suppose they're scraping the last coins they can. Even the former Crytek lawyers are now working with Chris Roberts so... But I Really Hope they can finish the engine and use it to do others universes like Star Treek and Star Wars... the posibilites are endless. On 12/20/2017 at 11:43 PM, kajnrig said: Oh believe me, I have no sympathy whatsoever for Crytek. Aside from a continuous stream of terrible business decisions, their games are also just... kinda... average at best. Still, being a painfully mediocre game studio doesn't mean they don't have a potentially strong case here. ...I bring you this. Short version: Crytek files a lawsuit against Cloud Imperium Games (devs of Star Citizen) and Roberts Space Industries (parent company of CIG), claiming Breach of contract: CIG breached the CryEngine licensing contract they both signed by: using CryEngine to develop a second game, Squadron 42, surreptitiously (the contract is only for "the Game," ie Star Citizen) not exclusively using CryEngine for Star Citizen's game engine removing CryEngine logo/trademarks/etc. from the splash screens/credits/etc. of Star Citizen not providing bugfixes/optimizations/etc. that they made to CryEngine sharing CryEngine tech with third parties Copyright infringement: CIG infringed on Crytek's copyright by: basically #5 above CIG responds with a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, responding to: Breach of contract: CIG provides the court with a copy of the licensing agreement, and claims they did not breach it because: The agreement explicitly uses the term "the Game" to refer to the combo of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 The agreement states that CIG has the exclusive right to use CryEngine for Star Citizen if they want to do so, NOT that CIG has to use exclusively CryEngine for Star Citizen Since they aren't using CryEngine, they have no obligation to put its logos/trademarks/etc. on the splash screens/credits/etc. of Star Citizen did not address this did not address this Copyright infringement: CIG can't infringe on Crytek's copyright if they aren't using the copyrighted engine in their work.

Tking22 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Anyone picking up Monster Hunter World on Xbox by chance? PS4 I'm sure there will be plenty, but I know Xbox isn't as popular all around, let alone with this franchise. I've had mine pre-ordered for my X1X for over a month now, I'm excited! I haven't played a Monster Hunter since Tri on my old Wii. I played the beta several times on my dusty launch PS4 and loved it, but Xbox is where most of my friends play and that's what I've invested all my time in so I am mostly on that, my PS4 is for the occasional Sony exclusive that interests me. I'm definitely maining charge blade like I always do, then maybe I'll try insect glaive or dual blades, not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup AGDQ is always a fun time though I haven't watched too many of the YT highlights yet. The Bloodborne run was pretty great. I also watched the Resident Evil 3 race, it's already one of my favorites from any GDQ. 56 minutes ago, Tking22 said: Anyone picking up Monster Hunter World on Xbox by chance?

kajnrig Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Picked up DBFZ as a birthday gift for a friend, and we'll be playing it tomorrow night. Since I couldn't get in on EVEN ONE match during the Beta... -______________- ...it'll be my first time playing the game. From what I've heard, it has some very easy controls, which is great since I don't have a good arcade stick to work with. It's a six-button fighter, but in the style of MVC3 - light, medium, strong attack, "special" ie ki blasts, and I think a tag attack and a chase button to round it off. Who should I go with first? I'm thinking Krillin, Piccolo, and... Gohan? Just going off of my favorites from DBZ Abridged. I know absolutely NOTHING about this show.

"YEESSSSSSS!!!!") - but just because of the dumb way Toriyama constantly power creeps them. What are they up to now? Like seven levels of Super Saiyan, two new Super Saiyan modes on top of that, and now a blue-hair "Prestige Mode" Super Saiyan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's reason to hate them if you're following the various Dragon Ball animes or mangas. But going only off DBZ abridged, Vegeta is hilarious.

Tking22 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I've been playing MHW a TON lately, took Monday and Tuesday off this week to play it as well. LOVE the game, I had a number of friends that played previous games that tried to scare me into thinking it was "dumbed down" or some other stupid non-sense, it isn't, they were panicking and whining before release, and it turns out the game is fine. Been playing on my Xbox one X in performance mode, looks good, runs really good, I love it. I'm at about 80 hours already, high rank and HR 13.
