    I wouldn't judge the game by the Demo, but it does give you an idea of what gameplay is like.
    That's not much. Considering I imagine you play just as awesome at it as you do this game Replayability? Doing things completely differently can still give you a fighting chance?

    Never was big on the $40+ for a single game. I might have to wait a bit.
  2. Demo was cool, but way too short and easy. I used nades whenever it would let me; rocket launcher for the hell of it.

    How much actual game time did you spend in it?
  3. I'm gonna play the demo either today or tomorrow.

    Because of you.

    Assassin's Creed

    Haven't played any of them, but the first two seemed interesting to me. Enjoyed Hitman though.

    I saw commercials for this 3rd one and a) the setting is kind of ridiculous* and b) the cutscenes in the commercials (and if that was gameplay....ugh) just looked bad to me. Choppy as hell, not fluid at all.

    *the setting would probably be more interesting to me if the commercial didn't look so bad to me and if they had a conspiracy angle going on in whatever ridiculous story they scribbled out for it.

    Transformer MMO is coming out "soon" though. >.>

    Jack is made from a DC Universe Booster Gold with some scuplting to make raised edges for his gloves and boots and some to fill in where Booster's googles were.

    Goshawk is a Marvel Legends Angel with Wolverine forearms/hands, and a Daredevil head with the horns sanded off.
    I haven't gone through a toy store for myself in a very long time.




    Until this weekend!

    Unfortunately, they're doing the "show some episodes, take a break until the Spring, then show the rest" thing again this year, which means this site won't be around to discuss the (no doubt) shocking conclusion of Season 3.
    I'm just getting into Season 2 on Netflix. You got nothing to complain about

    Your last day?

    That's nuts Viking

    I was thinking this past Tuesday I should log in and actually run a mission or two with stuff I haven't played in a long while, especially considering literally nothing was really going on globally for victory, freedom, or virtue (yes Virtue! and I blame you all for that!). Definitely not waiting till that last day because I don't really see myself playing for that amount of time myself.

    It's Over

    They acknowledged what all people were doing, that's good. That'll give an extra boost to media coverage at the least.

    Whenever whatever NDAs / severance package stipulations are over with though, their wording can very well bite them in the ***.

    Your last day?

    6 hours is a bit much. Those were generally reserved for publishes. Events start on the 5th and generally are nothing more than "flipped switches" at this point AFAIK.

    Events are completely meh to me.


    From Twitter: This will not be a publish, just maintenance.

    Curious if the 6 hours is because it's some lonely peon who's never done whatever it is they do during this that has been thrust into some deep, dark basement corner with nothing more than a hastily scribbled note from a frantic and desperate soul with cryptic wording as to the procedure.

    Your last day?

    Quote:
    The forums will remain online through the last day of play - November 30.
    (Wonder if the mod(s) will just completely give up for that day)

    Quote:
    You will be able to play until 11:59:59PM on November 30, 2012. Servers will go down at midnight.
    (Should be Pacific time keep in mind)

    Was thinking I'd ride it out till they go poof on the 30th just because it's just natural to think Eastern for me. 3AM probably isn't doable; I'm no spring chicken and I just don't have the people anymore where something like this was fun to do anyway.

    Also been thinking about when/if I'd uninstall the game. The game might be useful at some point? The launcher though will be burned immediately following my last log off.

    You've clearly never had to put up with Shamster, regardless of AT. He plays them all the same way. He can get aggro with mindless button smashing after he's run off to large groups away from the team; if he isn't insta-gibbed (which he generally is), he'll limply bring them back to the group and either die anyway or suck down all inspirs he has to repeat the same mindlessness. But retaining aggro / taking aggro is not his forte (4Chan linking takes that spot). And he primarily teams.

    How about BabyBoner. We'll all still know it's you.


    Just everyone else will think you're perverted.
  17. VERBATIM! I have spoken

    You also said that it was a good investment after repeatedly trying to talk me out of it.

    'nuff said
    *cries*
  18. Verbatim:

    Me - "Mental, sell me on CO"
    Mental - "Uh.....I don't think I can. Second best costume creator. Why? Are you thinking about it? I don't think it's for you"
    Me - "Why's that?"
    Mental - "You don't seem like an MMO guy. People hate you. I think it's a fluke that CoH even came out and you found out about it. Please don't ruin CO for me"
    Me - "Tell me how you really feel "

    He's not going to make it to the end without blowing up

    So you won't be playing it?


    Hmmm...this changes everything
  20. How many different names do you go by? Just what exactly are you hiding from?


    I had to look this up the other day because it keeps getting tossed around and I had never heard of it before. It seemed too story-driven for my tastes as it didn't seem like something you can jump in to whenever you got some free time and just do something? *shrug*

    There are a couple of other things that kind of put me off this game in particular, but those are more for my situation/play time/play style.

    I think It's fair to assume the Darkest Dawn went over well enough to convince him it was time, He mentions having wanted to wait until the Tech caught up to his Ideas = its had plenty of time... He decided for whatever reasons to give it another go now - that'll probably take a couple years but since the Jumpgate revamp tanked = Well, there's a "hole" in the space-based fighter sim genre.
    Dude.........thank you. I was JUST talking about finding my old Wing Commanders and see if they'd play on this rig. I am attempting to download this now and will be getting into it....SINCE EVERYONE HAS ABANDONED ME ON VICTORY!

    You're the best _Giant in my book!

  25. I guess they turned off DXP? Even though I was pretty sure they said they would turn it on till the end........was thinking Iso would be extra fun because it would have been the first time DXP was on at the same time.

    So that was downer number 1.

    Then I figured Shamster would show up anyway. So that was downer number 2
