That's also what I'm copying.

That looks cool and reminds me of Escape Velocity and Star Control, which is a good thing.

But no, I meant No Man's Sky.

they were forced to rush out what was essentially an unfinished prototype of a whole game, and they were really pushing for EXCLUSIVELY ON XBOX ONE which worked a little bit. almost immediately after it released they were already talking about Titanfall 2 and saying it would be multiplat

the reason bots are put in to simulate enemy players if no one is online was their attempt at distracting people from the huge empty unfinished maps they just covered in dirt and sandy dust and called it a day

Hopefully TitanFall 2 won't have bots during multiplayer, cause that is lame as poo poo.

That doesn't make it a good idea. It's really lazy. The devs said the bots were there to make bad players not feel stupid, and i'm 110% positive they didn't even buy into what they were really saying, it's too stupid coming from veteran game designers who worked on Call of Duty.

TitanFall 2 isn't for me if the bots are still in during online matches.

Yeah, I was dissapointed I couldn't get into Original Sin. I liked the vibe it was putting down with the very open ended environmental hazard based combat system... but once I started looking at it I didn't really have a drive to get a good grasp on all that.

Pillars of Eternity was my real 'oh poo poo' moment for that oldschool crpg genre.

I'm gonna keep going but i'll probably have to use a walkthrough to save myself wandering around for hours.

Also whoever did the voice recording for the game hosed up very badly. everyone sounds like they're in a tunnel.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Trip report on buying both Prototype games off of PSN:

-Prototype is a lot uglier and jerkier than I remember. Also, I forgot what a dumb gently caress Alex Mercer is. I'd already killed like a hundred people twenty minutes in and then I downed a helicopter with an air conditioner or something and he goes "I can't believe what I just did!"

-I've only played it a bit but Prototype 2 seems like a slight improve all around (better map, smoother combat, etc) except the voice actor for Alex Mercer is terrible this time. It's hard to believe Barry Pepper was busy or demanded too much money or something. The plot still seem dumb as hell and Heller just generically angry but eh, whatever. I do like that Heller just wears regular street clothes instead of whatever the gently caress fiery tribal symbol was on the back of Mercer's jacket in the first game, though.
