  1. Silent Storm: guides, tips?

    No, the submachineguns are retarded because they have shitty range. They are good for close in, but close in pistols are as good or better until you get tommy guns. They pick up levels at the same absic rate as the character in your party. Also, give your scout throwing knives and have him...

  2. Silent Storm: guides, tips?

    You're probably having an easy time of the first missions because you've made a decent party (most especially, given them long range weapons) but it will get tougher. Weapon range matters quite a bit in this game, though. Don't forget you can aim for body parts with the keypad, either. It...

  3. Piracy is teh evil

    "if there's success on the console, people are going to stop making them on the PC" Oh, if only this were so. Actually, I think lower PC game sales is GOOD to a point. If they get low enough, maybe bestbuy will drop them completely and they will go back to a botique/hobby thing where the...

  4. Idiot's guide to Space Rangers 2

    Some artifacts and weapons can eat up a slot from your hull. Make sure to read all the descriptions and if you don't see it take them out one by one til you see it come back. Commanding people is mostly a waste of time and money, btw. They just run away if serious trouble comes.

  5. Another one bites the dust

    Ha, everyone relying on their engine is fucked now. 100kx20 is only two million, which is probably one tenth what they've spent on that engine. Maybe the indie engine scene will improve without these assholes buying out every single engine that manages to make a hello world demo.

  6. Bioware is evil!

    If I hired a bunch of programmers and had them working for four years and they produced something as shitty as the infinity engine I'd either fire them all or shackle them into their cubicles like galley slaves. I've worked 100+ hour weeks for months on end. Sometimes you have to if you want...

  7. Age of Decadence interview on Rock Paper Shotgun

    The people who are getting fired up are going to want the game anyhow. Preaching to the choir is pointless, and getting into flame wars is counterproductive. Like a politician, you need to win over the undecided vote. To do that, you can't start attacking everyone who disagrees with you like...

  8. Age of Decadence interview on Rock Paper Shotgun

    I'm sure to inspire the wrath of the Codex, but I thought it was a pretty unprofessional interview myself. If he's aiming to please the codex crowd, that's great, but that's already preaching to the choir anyhow. I'm sure there are people who want games like most of the codex likes who are...

  9. UFO: Alien Invasion got a big update

    First off, they have moved to http://ufoai.sourceforge.net/ without anyr eal warning. I'd wondered for a while what happened to them. I don't have time to play it, but it looks like they have finally made it into a full campaign, added interceptions like xcom, etc. More like a full game...

  10. Who will produce the next Epic crpg?

    Do we really need another epic RPG? One of the things I liked best about the old DnD modules was that they were mostly distinctly nonepic. Your goal was almost always something simple like exploring some ruins or finding an artifact of some kind. As for good RPGs, I don't see any coming...

  11. Should I bother with BG1? Spoilers probably.

    Gothic's character system and combat are designed by morons and they are fucking abysmal and retarded beyond belief. It's maybe a quarter step above Oblivion. D&D 2.0 is the best balanced D&D edition out there by far. Aside from a few games like wasteland and jagged alliance, it is the best...

  12. Company News Let's give Jeff Vogel some free publicity

    I've written a book, and I have made game mods and games. It was fun. Just because something is hard does not make it a soulsucking experience.

  13. Company News Let's give Jeff Vogel some free publicity

    Well, the simple solution is for us to do him a service and not buy his games. Get him out of this horrible drudgery! God, how depressing. I guess his lack of caring does show up in the games, though. He is a good writer, but the games are so formulaic...and it's not that good of a formula...

  14. RPG DEVELOPERS AND MAKERS ??? I COMMAND THEE !!!

    So, you are seriously suggesting two top notch writers working for 10 years will cost 50 million dollars? Salaries in gaming are not high. I would be skeptical of even a 4-5 million dollar figure. Is there something about the project described that would require more than a single programmer...
