Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara had tons of glitches and bugs for a coin OP arcade game. There was a way to glitch your character right at the beginning of the game that could prevent you from losing the last pixel of health; only "instant kill" abilities like dragon breath could kill you at that point. There was another way to get infinite charges for wand of lightning, which was a pretty good item that could stun lock many enemies by hitting them so rapidly. Enemies could be damaged when they fell down, a rare example of a beat em up where they were vulnerable. This made a bunch of bosses easy to exploit; Large Burning Oil would make 3 pillars of fire when thrown and normally the first hit would knock targets down. But if they were big (displacer beast/manticore /chimera) and knocked down already, all 3 pillars of flame would hit and you could carry 9 max, meaning it was possible to combo a boss to fall down then unload your inventory of fire bombs and pile so much damage that you could kill bosses so fast they'd die before their health bar would even appear. Tricks like this could also be used to bypass some phases bosses had. These phases would trigger when the boss got down to a certain amount of health, but it also required the boss 'recovered' from the last attack you delivered (like getting up from knockdown). So if you could keep the boss from recovering, you could actually kill them before they started their harder phase.

This happened to me last night playing Hitman 2(018). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99AMMpP8fpc For context, I set off a bomb in this tunnel, took the outfit of the busker, and started to "blend in" at the bongos. Hitman has 2 types of NPC: "real" people, and crowd people that don't have much AI and generally just fill space. For some reason, the huge crowd of the latter type of NPCs ran into the tunnel after hearing an explosion in the tunnel. Meanwhile, blending in at these bongos apparently makes all the guards have horrible aim, so they keep shooting and missing. The game started culling NPCs when the camera moves, but the guards kept shooting at me for at least another minute or so after the video ends when they finally moved in close enough.

Am I missing something? Is there anywhere at Legoland where kids can build stuff? If so, does Lego tell the park operators they must be able to guarantee zero dicks ever? It just doesn't seem physically possible. When they notice rude grafitti in the bathroom, are they supposed to immediately close it until repairs can be completed? That seems like it would cause way more liability than the the grafitti itself would. I can't imagine how there could be a PR issue. If kid X makes a dick, and Parent Y calls msnbc saying "Lego showed my kids a dick," would anyone listen to them? E: basically am I being a goony goon, or is it the parents who are wrong?

Veotax posted:Lego Universe was a Lego MMO where you could build poo poo. This has nothing to do with Legoland Yeah, it was an MMO that lasted for less than two years, according to this person in significant part to Lego's demands for an absolute dick-free guarantee. I was comparing the way the company treated a shared physical space to the (unknown-by-me) way they treat a shared physical space. To me an MMO is more like a theme park than a television station: whoever owns it does not and cannot perfectly control the 'visitor's" experience, because by definition they're exposed to the behavior of other visitors, and it would be weird to hold the owners responsible for everything visitors do. Some will be rude, and make rude shapes, and I think it'd be crazy to demand a guarantee from Disney that no other kids will ever, say, yell dirty words in the Magic Kingdom where yours might hear them. (I asked if kids can build things in Legoland because I was hoping for a more one-to-one analogy.) If a company decides they can't risk that since it could violate the absolute trust of parents, then okay, but why not just make a single-player game, or use a friend-code system like Nintendo used to? What about the experience makes the expense of this moderation system worth it? But if they shut it down, I guess it wasn't.

I think they tried, failed, and then shut it down rather than telling people to use their discretion. I think you can absolutely moderate user-generated content at scale to the point where it keeps parents happy, you just can't guarantee that no customers will ever see A Bad Thing. But I could be wrong. This whole story seems crazy enough to me that I'm convinced that I'm severely out-of-step.

From what I remember of articles about it, they were bogged down trying to find any possible way that a penis could be made in the game through detection of shapes, but they could never get it fool-proof due to how complex the building system itself was. Things came to a head when the whole staff went on full alert because the system detected a staff member building a penis. At that point, they could no longer reasonably expect to hold it up if they couldn't even stop their own staff from doing it. The game shuttered not long after.

They definitely have free building spaces at Legoland, but it’s a whole different beast online. The building areas at Legoland are relatively small, which limits the amount of people who can build at once, while also letting a worker effectively supervise the building process. If a kid builds a dick, it can be stopped quickly. Lego Universe on the other hand, was an MMO mostly dedicated to building stuff, with potentially thousands of people on at the same time. That means many thousands of dicks are possible at any given moment, and it’s not possible to see what everybody is building at the same time, resulting in acockpalypse.

I recall a discussion in a cops-and-robbers MMO about policing user content, and the phrase "swasticock" came up as the theoretical nadir of user-generated depravity.

This had to be APB, which has ridiculous player customization. With some talent, you could profit more from making and selling stuff like car skins, player skins and kill songs that from the actual cop'n'robbering. The game was glitchy as gently caress and very barebones in the actual content layer, so it never took off like it should, but the customization was off the rails.

A recent alpha test yielded some interesting bugs, one of which tended up tied to DX12. The issue? Going indoors and causing any sort of bright light effect (explosion or gunfire) would cause a slow, stacking effect of bloom - until the screen whites out into blinding glare. The process takes several minutes, and can be paused by exiting the indoor space, but will resume and more quickly if you are foolish enough to go indoors again. Made trying to finish indoor missions extra exciting: like the building was falling into the sun, and you had only a certain amount of time to complete your goals.
