Other Games / Re: Rocksmith - First Impressions
« on: December 07, 2012, 06:19:55 am »
Never really tried the to play any Guitar Hero/Rocksmith games because of my inability to hear and learn playing (or singing in that regard). I'm pretty aware of my suckiness in this area so I tend to not play such things, just like I hate sport games - where team managers genre is borderline acceptable.

While I do understand your bitterness there was one word which explained it all - Ubisoft. That may feel like discrimination, but in my opinion they tend to fuck up pretty good games. A lot. So if you feel like the idea was nice and then there were added things which make game if not unplayable then very irritating to play... it's pretty obvious for me that some executive in the company thought 'this would be cool' and forced some additions.

Also - your pictures aren't showing for me.

Other Games / Re: Baldurs Gate "Enhanced" Edition [may contain SPOILERS]

Wait, so that means that Imoen was left as it was before? Whiny little girl? No change... well one more thing that'll make me not to buy it. Although new companions and personal quests sure are interesting.

That quote was the best thing in the beginning... it defined the whole struggle. Also shame they 'reworked' the game that way. While cutscenes were outdated for sure they created the atmosphere. Are journal entries also tampered with? I mean these voiceovers which appeared after certain events in the storyline.

I guess it's more like you said - to appeal to NEW players. But then it doesn't make sense to leave the graphic as it is. Because we can't even compare the vanilia ones and newest RPG games (think Witcher, or heck, even Divine Divinity 2, Gothic 4 or Two Worlds 2) and because of that older titles should appeal with other things... but also not destroy my eyes with useless UI and bad texturing. Heh, although it seems that my resistance to bad/old graphics is fine, because one of my friends refuses to play UFO: Enemy Unknown because of it's interface and pixelation.

I did see that they were releasing the Enhanced Edition BG, but I didn't really felt interested in it. Mainly from reasons you're mentioning. The mods already did what they're trying to do with it. Better and cheaper. The only thing I may be interested in are new classes and new NPC with their own storylines - how they're holding on? Any good ones?

It was pretty obvious that they're going to fuck this re-edition up. Why? Because before release these people were asked about re-drawing the textures, making it more HD-like. Answer was that original character models were lost and it would take too much time to make them from the start. I was like 'What?! Then why is it called Enhanced Edition?'. A cash grab that is, nothing else.

To tell the truth I'm more (cautiously) interested in Project Eternity that was kickstartered some time ago than this mess.

Ah, yes with that I agree. We are probably not alone... but if we truly are then this possibility is terryfing. Still we won't know until we reach the stars, right? Because our solar system has a little posibility of life existing.

@mercy Actually in my time I've read fair amount of these 'research' books. About how in egyptian pyramids were some strange inscriptions, about how the india sacred books were instructions to how build the spaceship, how the big heads from Easter Island were made by aliens. How our life is a big conspiracy and we're constantly monitored. Then I grew up.

One can only so much stomach
lot of good books around based on more or less accurate research
which have no connection with scientific research, but are a bunch of theories and superstition. And mind you - there is also a THEORY that people were born/created in seven days (because science isn't really sure how it went), but other one, ya know that about evolution and stuff, has a bit more facts to back it up. So don't mind me, but I'm gonna believe in one who offers me something more than modern superstition.

People conveniently lie themselves that the above theory is ridiculous
Now, now. It is. Why? Because asked for proof you speak of 'some books who research it' and create whole new theory about aliens who feed on our emotions. I don't even want to start to argue about that - it is how baseless the mention is.

The crazy "experts" just mud the waters
Haha, at least these experts show us some kind of data. Which means if you want to call them crazy, then prove it. It reminds me much about people who argue that there isn't a global warming. That gas we're producing to atmosphere is clearly capable of reflecting heat back to earth. The ozone layer on the poles is receding now. It wasn't before. Yet people speak just like you 'the experts are just trying to mud the water! Even though we don't have any data few of the scientist agree with us, just because! We're not wrong - YOU ARE!'. It's not discussion, just children fit.

Problem is these real accounts are not so much fun anymore. The cookie flavor quickly disappears.
Nope, problem is that these 'real' accounts were in many cases proved wrong - either from people who were lying or just batshit crazy. Also about some of the books you cite - the increased interest from powers in Cold War and 'militarization' of UFO encounters... mind if I remind you that in this time russians were experimenting with psychic soldiers? So were Americans? Everybody was grabbing at straws. It's no wonder that they focused funds on such vague ground as UFO encounters.

Like I said it's pretty much problem of faith. You're believing in some theories, which I believe are very loosely embedded in reality. In turn you dismiss the common sense, calling experts false and giving no definite proofs - you know, metals which weren't made on earth, bodies of aliens, technology we're not familiar with are the simplest things I can think of. Besides you start to create another layer of theories on the simple one. So the aliens aren't just here. They feed on our negative emotions, they tend us like farmer tends cattle and we're slaves to them... Are you sure they're not devils? Because I can see a bit of common ground here... And again - what proof do you have? Or are you gonna fling 'ignorance' argument again? Because I can do it too ;).

So yeah. Still not convinced, even considering your cookie-flavored allegories.

@mercy You know, the UFO problem is pretty much faith thing. Since nobody shown any real EVIDENCE about the thing accusing people of willful ignorance is a bit strange to say at least. And while people are saying that these aliens are here for thousands of years (according to some of the guys who study this subject) why haven't they DONE anything? You know with their super-duper technology they probably analyzed what they could in year, maybe two. 'Documented' data shows they have been seen at least 70 years into the past. So something doesn't add up. And please don't say that they are stealthly waiting for us to go on some level on technological and sociological progress, because their 'stealth' is bullshit if so many people seen them. And any modern military would make short work of their allegedly 'secret' operation.

I can't see a single reason the aliens in the Unidentified Flying Objects are real. They have no reason to be here and no real evidence has been shown to prove otherwise. I don't know what you saw and I won't argue with that, but telling others they are ignorant, while pushing baseless claims is quite strange. And your last sentence...

Until the UFO comes too close, breaching the human "personal boundary".  :-\

I can change the object of it and it still will be not the scientific argument.

Until the zombies come too close, breaching the human "personal boundary"
Until the vampires come too close, breaching the human "personal boundary"
Until the freakin Yeti comes down from his mountain, breaching the human "personal boundary"

These sentences still doesn't make me a believer. Sorry to say it, but it sounds like 'the world will end and when it does you all will remember my words!
Muahahahaha!'

So yeah ;). Not convinced.

I believe this topic is for Off Topic -> Discussions.

Also the question is problematically made. While believing in aliens is one thing, believing in their ingerence here and now is the other. I for once do think that we're not alone in the universe. That there is life on other planets and it evolved towards intelligence. Maybe some even already know the secret of interstellar travel. Yet, our galaxy is huge, the universe even bigger, so chance of them being here is... minimal.

tl;dr - I do believe in alien life, but not in those UFOs people think they see on our skies.

edit: haha, nackidno was faster than me in answering ;)

Yeah, that is why I wrote:

Maybe after new build and few more areas will be uncovered?

For now there are a bits here and there. Still as of now naming NPCs in metro base and creating stories about people is pretty much doable. Of course it would make much more sense to wait for a bit more world overview :).

Haha, yeah going into Fallout-like wackiness is a question of choice. I, for one, can really have fun without super intelligent animals. And hunting could be really cool if there will be more animal reactions than just attack or run. Like some hidden foes, waiting for prey to come close by... and animals attacking each other. Living, bleeding world, for once ;).

And about elephant-like entities - I was more thinking about the mutated omnivores, which are easier to feed even with large body mass. Also I really think that some kind of mounts should be introduced - not really for players to ride, but to maintain the story. The apocalyptic world feel. After any disaster which destroys most of technological civilization people will return to using organic means of transport and/or warfare. Technology degrades with use. Without means of replenishing it other ways should and will be invented again.

Just saying ;).

PS. Considering the misuse of mutagens such large, armored beasts could be used in the Underrail past as organic weapons (a'la Resident Evil world). It may be a path to be considered ;).

Did you consider asking people to write short storie to publish in your game? In form of journals, memos, etc? Maybe after new build and few more areas will be uncovered? Also it would make naming NPCs more fun if afterwards there was an option to read their memos, e-mails and even last will.

I for once would be all for doing such volounteer work ;).

Well I have a question/suggestion - I do understand that Underrail world is a place after some disaster. And continuing on that thought I would like ask and wonder how some animals evolved to cope with new and dangerous world. Simply - will there be beasts comparable with Deathclaws, maybe some other intelligent or semi-intelligent animals? Hoping it won't be spoiling a much of the world.

But the idea of mutated hippos/rhinos can't really get out of my head ;D. Also some giant snakes a'la Resident Evil are also welcome... We could also go the other way and get small, horse-like elephants. Maybe with bone armor? Any other ideas guys?
