Weird, tagging Vault Dweller 's other name isn't working.

 

[Tzaero]

Commissioner Skyway, look its the Vault Dweller signal.
Its only a matter of time till he comes forth from the shadows.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Why are you guys tagging me?

Has Skyway being Skyway (i.e. posting silly things in hope of attention) become such a rare occurrence that you feel I must be informed of and partake in such a glorious event?

What do you mean 2 devs? Don't you know Vince is Brian Mitsoda?

Dear Vault Dweller.

 

[MetalCraze]

VD has accused me of being an attention whore

 

[Vault Dweller]

It's like you are not even trying anymore, Skyway.

 

[racofer]

People have been saying it's like Skyway is not even trying anymore for the past two years, yet here we are.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Time for an intervention? Maybe if we all tell Skyway how concerned we are... I mean, what was the last time he played a game seven times?

 

[felipepepe]

I blame the Santa hat.

He's just anxious to play AoD seven times and you're in his way.

Without actually getting my hands on the games, I don't think I can really tell them apart in terms of graphical quality.

Also,

Spoiler

VD is a waaaaaaaaaaay bigger attention whore than Skyway.

 

[Kattze]

No sentence by sentence rebuttal by VD? I'm disappointed.

 

[Jaesun]

What is there to respond to?

 

[MetalCraze]

I tried playing AoD seven times but ended up finishing it 14 because every time I hit start button I get teleported to the end credits.

I don't typically engage in AoD bashing, but I have to say that playing the demo with a praetor was absolutely ridiculous. I greatly respect the push to remove the useless grind and filler from games but maybe some of that filler actually serves a purpose. On the other hand, if the only alternative to teleporting a player from dialogue to dialogue is running around the entire map hitting up NPCs for a few persuasion checks before moving on to the next quest objective, then perhaps the problem lies with allowing the player to get by without combat in the first place.

It starts out as a mediocre Half-life clone with decent atmosphere for about fifteen hours that turns into a joke for about six and tedium for about 9.

Dear Vault Dweller.

This is the best cat gif ever, and I generaly hate cat gifs.

 

[DragoFireheart]

After reading a few posts, I've come to the conclusion that Skyway has some personal grudge against VD.

Are you afraid he'll prove you wrong Skyway?

 

[Vault Dweller]

I don't think that Skyway has a position or anything of that sort (i.e. a prerequisite in order to be proven wrong about something). He simply hates and his hate is pure and doesn't require a reason.

No kotor?

I like how the machete only deals like 6 damage on zombies while the hammer deals 40-something.

Someone should send Brian some pictures of skulls split open like a coconut with a machete.

Heavily abstracted mechanics are the best mechanics.

But those zombies did take too long to kill. Brian said in the final game they'll have fewer hitpoints than the minimum a human can have and they never level up, so there's that.

There is no greater way to fuck up a zombie RPG than using a straight HP system for zombies with imbalanced weapons as though it's a fucking shoot' em up. And no amount of DMG vs HP tweaking will absolve a game with crap authenticity. Then again, it took him how many years to finally see that AI controlled party is a no go? I doubt Brian's grasp and vision on game mechanics. I wouldn't expect Dead State combat to be a rewarding experience any time soon.

The game isn't even half that long.
