LOL

That's right, pile it on. I have no right to be offended, whether I was mistaken in my interpretation or not, right?

Ummm... are you okay? Really. Are you okay? Everyone misinterprets things on the internet, it is almost the defining feature of the medium.

 

[reptilescorpio]

So everyone should give Omi's Cat changer a try! It is good.

Also I hope Wade does well, have been hoping for his inclusion for a long while now.

 

[Shaneus]

Lovely weather today

Nah, it's shit. Why you being so obviously sarcastic? Don't be a negative Nancy. Just embrace the shitness.

I last tried the build from around midday yesterday. Is that the final one? PM link? And do categories save on the cloud of Steam given I use multiple computers?

Also, Steam group chat isn't in the iOS app, just individual chat

 

[hamchan]

I will try this Cat changer but unfortunately I don't have any cats.

 

[FallbackPants]

Anyway, so...

Would be interesting to know if Haddin might've been 'rested' sooner if Tim Paine had been fit and available. Great to see Matty Wade get a crack, though - he's a good lad.

Possibly, but Wade is the pretty obvious go to guy if you wanted Haddin out with Paine injured. Hell he might be the go to guy with Paine fit.

Also are you new? Have you answered the questions? Or have I skipped a bunch of pages? (the answer to that question is yes)

 

[Choc]

So i've got my mitts on the NDA for Final Fantasy XIII

lets just say that all reviews of this game that are not based off someone buying the game and writing about it will be bastardised to the shitter

There is a LOT of stuff you are not allowed to talk about.

I got the feeling that the selectors would have been much more interested in dropping Haddon from the Test team at the very least if Paine was up and running.

Yes people do misinterpret things on the internet, it happens.

And no, I'm not okay. Something bad happened to me recently and I'm still trying to deal with it. Sharing it here on this forum won't do me any good, especially after the reaction I've had after baring an insecurity.

How did you get it? Will you get in shit if you release it? If not, fucking do it.

You'd be surprised at how supportive these idiots can be.

edit: it is ultimately up to you if you choose to share it with us of course. if you dont want to, then that's fine.

New one allows you to save changes to Steam. My suggestion is close Steam, Save, Restart Steam. Happiness.

Just need to implement a couple more things:
- Drag/Drop between existing categories.
- Version checker.
- Fix bug when adding from far left hand list for a game you don't own, seems that RS managed to create a duplicate somehow. So don't do that for the time being (Doesn't appear in Steam, just looks odd in the Category Utility.

XIII-2? What more can there be to the game that they don't want us to know besides story?

We already know:
Serah and Noel are the two mains.
Lightning isn't playable except for a brief moment, despite all the cover art and marketing being based on her.
There is monster catching.
There is time travel.
Levels aren't completely linear anymore.
There are towns where you can talk to people and buy things.
The game is shorter than XIII, maybe only 30 hour long.

What more can they hide?

All that matters is the score Choc. Everyone knows that!

 

[Fredescu]

You mean the metascore.

 

[Choc]

you can only talk about 25% of the games locations for one.

 

[hamchan]

That's absolutely fine really. Part of the fun is seeing new locations and the pretty art in the game.

 

[reptilescorpio]

you can only talk about 25% of the games locations for one.

92% of gamers won't even make it past the first 25% Choc, 78% of people know that.

 

[Choc]

i get why they do it

i get why they exist

i have even been guilty of it myself, but in true media freedoms, you wouldn't be allowed to dictate this stuff

there is nothing to stop someone buying it and writing the exact review they want.

im not going into further details but basically you can only talk about the first 20% of the game.

edit: i don't think you guys get this

if in the final 75% of the game there is something bat shit insane that drives you insane that is shit game design.

YOU CAN"T TALK ABOUT IT and justify why your score is lower because of it

 

[Jintor]

I just read the GameInformer review and I subbed the Hyper review last week, does anybody want to know what was written? I haven't seen the NDA.

I assume you can't be specific about it, but you can say it sucks and it ruins the game.

It ain't no FFVII, right?

 

[oipic]

Also are you new? Have you answered the questions?

Yes, yes indeed I am. And there I was trying to be all inconspicuous.

So, these questions...does one find all relevant in the OP somewhere? I'd best comply, things are testy enough in here without me going all rogue and not complying with house rules.

 

[Jintor]

's not even an FFVIII by all accounts

Spoiler

disclaimer I love FFVIII

Gameinformer dude liked the gameplay though!

/edit gameinformer dude totally talked about the ending (in a vague kind of way, but he did)

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Anyone played any of the games from the Global Game Jam (http://globalgamejam.org/)? I have two three friends' games in there this year.
- Seasonal Sci-Flies http://globalgamejam.org/2012/seasonal-sci-flies
- Streams http://globalgamejam.org/2012/streams
- Aqua Battle http://globalgamejam.org/2012/aqua-battle

All from LaTrobe Uni Melbourne's .

so like, tell me if they're good. I can't play them until tonight.

 

[Kritz]

I'll just point out that if I instead sucked a dick every time I wanted to eat McDonalds, I wouldn't be the shining beacon of obesity that I was today.

Granted, I'd probably be shining from something else.

well then he broke the nda

if he mentioned

there is multiple endings

nda shattered

Choc spoiled the game for me with his misplaced spoilerz.

Also I think the creators of the game actually revealed in an interview the aforementioned spoiler, so it's not really a big secret. ><

Honestly, I would be surprised.

If I got a "LOLZ, get over it loser", I would go apeshit and most likely be banned as a result. Which I suppose wouldn't be too bad, I only visit this thread here and it's not as if I'm well liked. It seems the general consensus is that I get angry all the time, since they're the posts people notice.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Everyone I've talked to has said that 13-2 is heaps better than 13 and is worth picking up.

Also newbie there is a list a few pages back, ill post it on my lunch break if someone else doesn't

 

[Jintor]

There's no easy way to say this, and I'm sorry if this turns out to be a trigger for this projected Danoss explosion, but that comment you blew up over was not intended in any way as an insult.

 

[Kritz]

danoss have you started playing world of warcraft again

you shouldn't play that game it's bad for you

play more portal 2

 

[Choc]

well he broke the nda


Gameinformer is the kinda pub that can though and get away with it. One of the bigger problems with NDA restricting content

NDA's restricting publishing date are fine. Restricting content is akin to media control

edit: ham don't read this

Spoiler

did he mention there is two types of ending?

Le sigh. My order for a T-shirt and EP by Orion has been cancelled due to no stock. They didn't say when they would print more.

he drove a fucking mac truck though the nda then

wow

just wow

hmmm.... hope the sponsorship was worth it.... Thorpie's not even remotely close to qualifying for the olympics.

 

[Deeku]

:lol

Also, it seems kinda pointless to stop info from getting out on a game when it's been out in Japan for a while.

 

[reptilescorpio]

just wow

Maybe he had a different NDA. It has been out and about for a while so you would think it would have come up by now.

Plus the game came out a month and a half ago. It isn't as if people couldn't find someone who can speak/write/read English & Japanese.

on the jp point completely agree, which is why this nda is a bit dumb


second poitn i have both the web and print nda, its the same and the nda came from Square Enix direct, not the AU distributor (I am trying to get a copy and for some reason i have to sign it)
