Do big games still go through private beta tests? I thought I remembered Diablo III having one, but I'm not a big gamer and rarely buy anything before it goes on sale on Steam anymore.

D3s beta was only from the start, to the Skeleton king. So about 15 minutes.
So, all the design flaws and problems that would have shown up, were hidden until the game launched.

The new Hitman had a private invite only alpha, which I got invited to. It was actually different to the the recent public/pre-order beta too. The beta was the tutorial levels of the game while the alpha was the main mission of episode 1.

So unless there is something more to the first episode other than some more cutscenes, I guess I've sorta already played the first episode.

The Division gives every player in a multiplayer zone a physical presence- no one can walk through anyone else. There are two hilarious consequences to this.

Early on in the game, while you're being shepherded through the tutorial area, is a normal-sized door you must walk through to proceed and unlock the rest of the game. This area is, for some reason, multiplayer. You can guess what quickly started happening.

Later on, after you get past the door griefers, you must receive a mission from a computer terminal. If too many players crowd around it, you cannot physically get close enough to activate it. The obvious solution, just like in real life:

Man, reminds me of what happened when a new Age released in Myst Online during the GameTap days.

As soon as you used the book to enter a new Age (level) it would get added to your personal bookshelf, but you would have to get it from a public instance first. Since the game was starved for content there was always a rush to get to the new stuff and player collisions meant massive queues on day one.

In a weird way it actually kind of warms my heart that when faced with such difficulties even the horrible people who call everyone lame fuckin' faggots who fiuck their own dog mothers will form an orderly line and wait patiently like good little boys

I'm here to spoil your mood because for every 3 or 4 good little boys there is one dick at the front sliding around and making a mess of everything. The trick to overcoming that glitch is to spend the best part of an hour relogging until you find an instance with fewer players in it.

I've been having fun playing The Division solo (easy mode, basically) but decided that I'd do the next mission with some random pubbies. I used the matchmaker at the beginning of the mission, and joined a just started instance of 3 other dudes.

Instead of spawning back where I was standing, at the start of the mission, I spawned at the closest safe house. Annoying, but only 300 metres away. Luckily, The Division has a "teleport to group member" button on the map menu, so I utilized that to warp to the mission.

I spawn at the beginning, with my team mates already 150m into the mission area. I can hear them in a firefight. I run to catch up, take 2 steps and...



The Division divided by zero.

I fell for a good 15 or so seconds, befgore hitting the bottom of the world - which remarkably didn't kill me, only took off half a bar of health. I then load-screen/teleported back to the safe house.

Repeating the procedure worked fine the second time.

Took cover. Sank into the concrete. Teleported to closest safe house.

I mean, it's good that the game can recognise when this happens, but teleporting to a safehouse, often a fair hike away from the action is annoying.

The number of little visual bugs in this game is so ridiculous that it's rare to have an entire turn without one, but sometimes they're alright.

drat, the enemies in the original Thief Dark Project game did this 18 yeas ago. Even then, they fixed it with the first patch.

Mind you, I think that was mainly to stop the AI from "breathing" through its belly button and drowning in waist high water.

I remember finding a particular spot in one level where it was possible to kill every last one of those nigh-unbeatable Hammerite knight dudes by making them chase you around a deep pool of water. They'd end up slipping and falling in, where they would stand underwater, at the bottom of this 10 foot deep pond, and loudly scream ARGH AIEE AAGH OOH AYAAARGH for like a minute straight before abruptly expiring. My brother and I used to load up that level and do that trick just so we could laugh until our sides hurt at the goofy, querulous screeching those goddamn knights did.

In Half-Life 2, headcrabs and antlions drown in water, but it has no effect on human enemies. Normally, this never comes up. But in SMOD, which made all kinds of absurd changes, you had soldiers shooting at you from the bottom of rivers in at least one level.

Amazing! It's a double J.O.!
I had a funny/annoying bug in the Division (similar to what other people have had so far). Some JTF dick head pushed me through the rough of a truck and I couldn't get out until my teammates finished the mission and I could teleport 3 feet to them.

I just like how the guy jumps up there, touches me, and then just leaves me to slowly descend in to my prison.

I have a request. In one of the Mass Effect games there was a human npc with a really messed up face who didn't have a helmet despite being in space. This was because somehow whatever flag or tag was supposed to be set for Turian was set to Human instead. Can someone find me a picture or a wiki page of him?

So there's a Russian ROM hack of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on Megadrive, called Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy, that adds tons of extra characters and content from previous games along with a bunch of new moves and such. It's pretty cool, but as you can expect, it's pretty buggy. Somewhat embracing this, the developer added a hidden mode that pits two CPUs against each other and lets them use their fatalities at any time... including during the other player's fatality.

Here is an hour of this.
