  1. Black Isle Studios are hiring!

    I stand corrected. They'll moan about imagined problems before the game is even in announced, then get back to the BG littany of woes.

  2. Black Isle Studios are hiring!

    They'll find whatever bits are bad (let's face it, nothing's perfect) and harp on about those for a couple of threads before going back to their neverending discussion of why BG was shit.

  3. Review IWD2 review at GameAxis

    Oh dear. You guys really are either completely clueless or would rather dig your hole deeper than admit you're wrong. I'm not going to be able to move you on this, I understand. However, I do think the other readers of RPGCodex have a right to know exactly how much they can rely on the...

    :ROFL: So many words, yet so little said ... An executable, flunkyboy, can be executed. Get it? No bullshit interpretations are required. Data cannot be executed. It's interface is its entry point, dumbass. Stop looking on your Start menu for it and go learn a little bit about real...

    Hoho - another little gem. DLLs are executable, you tit. If you knew anything about software, for instance understanding the word "program", you would understand this. Not that your comment about scripts (which are also programs) is correct anyway, but DLLs are compiled to native code...

  6. Review IWD2 review at GameAxis

    Hoho - that's a truly amusing comment from someone who thinks that DLLs are just data like map files. It's even funnier that you think a single DLL in a single FPS can be used to form a general principle. S_P, you're living proof of what every good developer already knows - any monkey can...

    Before I answer, can you tell me whether you said this just to start an argument, or are you genuinely interested in a discussion about it?

  8. Review IWD2 review at GameAxis

    I don't know how to explain it to you any clearer if you believe DLLs are just data. They are not. There are a number of reasons why deleting a particular DLL might not affect all functional areas of a program. There are also situations where you can substitute one version of a DLL for...

  9. The economy is dead! Long live the new economy!

    This thread was paired away from my original thread by a mod, as I mentioned in my previous post. Date I created that thread: 21st Oct Date you registered: 22nd Oct How you get away with all your flaming is a mystery to me. I thought this sort of behaviour was generally frowned upon.

  10. Review IWD2 review at GameAxis

    A component OF the client. Required to play the game. Try deleting your DLLs from your game install directory and see how well it runs. Well spotted, you are entirely correct. You only need to update the server to actually use your new code. It is entirely feasible to leave it unused...

  11. The economy is dead! Long live the new economy!

    Rosh, are you the board's resident sanctioned flamer? The post you just made breaks down as follows: Total words: 293 Words making points related to the discussion: 115 Words used only in personal attacks: 136 My words (quoted): 42 So, you spent 47% of your post flaming me and 39% on...

  12. Review NWN Review

    Divine Divinity, maybe, although that wasn't a full-on RPG either. Don't forget Morrowind incuded an editor. Even though the game vendor admitted they were just thrown in "as is" from what the dev team used, I think people are trying to do some nifty things with them.

  13. Review EuroGamer reviews Arx Fatalis

    I did it was just my feeling of the game ... I don't want an absurdly large gameworld, just so people can say "look how big mine is." I want an appropriately large game world. I also don't want getting around it to entail long periods where I do nothing more than vary the position of my...

  14. Review IWD2 review at GameAxis

    Yes, I did say that. Yes, in literal terms it was a little inaccurate. I retract it. I'll say instead: Also, I don't play CS, but as I understand FPS mods, you have to download a seperate (very large) addition to the client to run the games with alternate codebase. You're dwelling on literal...

  15. Game News KotOR screenies on Gamer's Hell

    I don't think there's any denying the type of flaws S_P is talking about. They were probably pretty inevitable given the weird episode sequencing. Star Trek, the only comparably extensive sci-fi universe that I can bring to mind, suffers similar inconsistencies for similar reasons.
