    Enter also works. The number different things you can successfully try and the variance in results is awesome.
  2. When I was a kid I watched the Duck Tales movie over and over, does that count? As to the length thing, I think many developers worry more about how long people will be playing their game rather than how complete it is as an experience. Length is artificially inflated through repetition and I think many of the best games (or at least my favourites) of the past couple of years have broken away from that trend.
  3. VIDEO GAMES

    factoid : When they added proper sound they were called Talkies for a short while, until everyone rightly decided it was a rubbish name. I've always called them films by preference, but that is now becoming an antiquated term too with digital video cameras being used more.
  4. Nintendo DSmeh

    Nintendo are by far the worst offenders in region locking, mainly because their European arm is so utterly poor at scheduling and keeping up with other territories. As to the camera the interior one is 0.3 megapixels sure, but the exterior one is a respectable 3 megapixels. (Also I'm pretty sure you're mad toblix, there is only one touchscreen)
  5. You know what would be awesome?

    Surprised you missed this thread a while back Mr Peel.
  6. Fully ramblomatic reviewer releases game

    Not in a thread that's nearly one year old I'd imagine.
  7. Lame

    Holy Shit! Nick too? Is anyone even left at NCSoft now?
  8. Lame

    Absolutely, I'm not saying it's not worth doing I was specifically focusing on the business loans part. Getting any kind of loan for anything at the moment is extremely difficult.
  9. Lame

    Yeah cause the current economic climate is perfect for that NCSoft really dropped the ball on this, the giant medicine ball, and they dropped it on my friends' feet. God I wish our company had the money to absorb you all lovingly.
  10. Plain Sight

    Well the time has come for me to start showing what I've been working on since January at Beatnik Games. Plain Sight is our game, an action game with robots and swords and glowy light things.... read the quick explanation or have it explained to you in the trailer. It's currently post-alpha and pre-beta but when beta time comes around you guys are all welcome to join, just sign up, let me know and I'll get you in Should hopefully be in around a month. I know you've already visited the website Nachimir, good to see a friendly face You also forced me to get off my ass and talk about it here before you hehe. Well that's my shameless plug post over with, any questions or anything .... go nuts >_<
  11. Plain Sight

    What version of IE are they using and do they have Javascript enabled? It works for us in the office on IE 7. Yeah that's pretty much exactly it You kill them with a sword to increase your score buffer, and you bank the score by detonating. Each person you kill in the explosion acts as a multiplier. Objective in the basic game mode is to get as high a score as possible (we are hoping to put other modes in, maybe in patches after release). I really appreciate this feedback With our other levels we're actually going for a more abstract level design, I think the city cube makes you want there to be more detail as it is comprised of recognisable objects, the other levels don't suffer from this so much. We're going to look at changing the city somewhat.
  12. Plain Sight

    Glad to hear it is liked Also re: gameplay influenced visuals, that kind of ties into the name of the game too, since with more unbanked points you become more visible and thus more of a target. That is the very same Alex Ashby, but that's also not me as I'm Lawrence
  13. Fallout 3: Proving the haters are right?

    Yeah I felt that way about San Andreas also, I guess the animations would have been fine for the first two. No experience of bully.
  14. Fallout 3: Proving the haters are right?

    I'd have to disagree massively with you on Rockstar, the animations in GTAIV are terrible except when they are procedurally generated by the Euphoria engine. They are all completely stiff and lifeless and really bother me, I found it to be a really poor showing for such a high budget / profile game.
  15. Let's play Castle Crashers!

    Heh, yeah I found this out after doing some checking on the interwebs, however I think they failed at making this clear especially since he switched to the pitchfork early on...
  16. Let's play Castle Crashers!

    I've been playing as Alien Hominid on my lonesome and have picked up a small plethora of weapons, none of which I can equip despite being well above the necessary level for all of them. My weapon changed once in the first level (from a weird green thing to a pitchfork) and it won't let me switch to any others. There's nothing to indicate why this should be the case so I'm leaning towards there being a random bug in weapon switching.
  17. XBL Arcade Greatness

    Unless you've got a code to get them for free, steer well clear of the Fable 2 pub games It's just a set of 3 games based entirely on chance, the worst of which is a very basic fruit machine with no interaction.
  18. Assassin's Creed

    I did a little digging, these are PC only quests, which explains why I was confused about having never seen a guarding or stand breaking mission even though I did everything...
  19. Assassin's Creed

    I think elmuerte was referring to the "collect 10 (maybe 20) flags for me in a time limit" guys rather than the "collect a bajillion flags in each city" thing.
  20. Microsoft does not want my money

    Can you perhaps buy a points card in a game shop and redeem that to your account? Most companies utterly fail at being truly international, they really need to get with the times!
  21. Read the tips I gave toblix in his Dead Rising thread, the twin mini chainsaws is a much easier goal to go for and with the right magazines, insanely powerful. Also you can get the bravery magazine for escortees much earlier than you think
  22. "Just" try and get the real mega buster? You're mad! You have to get the 54,000 odd zombie kills in one playthrough achievement to get that weapon....
  23. Pieces of Eight

    Or it could just be that Real means Royal and the team's full translated name is "Royal Football Club of Madrid"
  24. While this is true, if you were referring to Thunderpeels post, he was talking about Metal Gear 1 not Metal Gear Solid 1. No way to avoid that retro shock
  25. Dr. Horrible!

    Except it is Nathan Fillion, quite blatantly.... his name is even in the credits ¬ ¬
