Re: Data Drop
Also, do you really have a problem with party chat being blocked Devo? Not interested in protecting the game experience e.g. delaying/remove trophy/achievement notifications in games due to "ruining the moment/experience"?
Re: Data Drop
Got confused reading Blamite's post. Thought it implied UNSC knew about the tracker, which would be a Universe breaker for me.
The way worlds had been falling, and the length of the war, I can see the inevitability of Reach's demise but to claim they knew that the Iroq was specifically tracked... that would border on shark jumping for me right now.

I guess I misspoke when I said they new the Iroquois was tracked; I was just refering to the part at the botom of 4b saying "the only exception to this, in my mind, would be if the Covenant had already located Reach and it was deemed indefensible."Zeouterlimits said:
That doesn't necessarily mean that this is what happened, or that the Iroquois tracker was how they knew Reach had been found. It does kind of open up the possibility, though.

I just find it silly to completely block it. Game should have a warning, not cut off being able to party chat. If I want to be immersed in a game, I'll avoid party chat myself. To completely cut off the avenue of choice though, lol.

Eh, I guess I'm alright with an artist wanting to protect the sanctity of their piece.Devolution said:
But then I think of things like Invisible walls in Reach & H3 and I wonder if it'd be hypocritical.
I just know that if party chat was enabled, there would be plenty of abuse of it in DS.

Does it matter? private chat still works correct?
If someone abuses the game (in a game like this) then their only spoiling it for themselves.
Party chat should be available on ALL games, sure advise against it with a little pop up for instance but dont ban it all together.
This means if i ever play DS then im playing in silence, normally i like to mindlessly chat with real life friends when im online in a single player game.

A recommendation of "Hey you're in party chat. We believe for an optimal experience you shouldn't be in chat when playing the game" is fine, blocking features is not. There's a line and disabling chat crosses that line. No game should have the right to dictate a consumer's actions like that.
It wouldn't be acceptable for a horror film to turn all your lights off in your home to preserve the "sanctity" of the experience. I don't see any difference with this, just because it's all taking place on the same device.

Letters said:That's nice and all, but Dark Souls doesn't give a shit about any of it.
It seriously would rather lose your purchase than give a shit.
Who said I wouldn't purchase it, pal already has it on ps3. I just find the concept stupid and setting a bad precedent. Oh noes my pals and I are ruining the game by even being in the same room while someone plays it.
COD:mw2 (or was it gears2?) could set a bad precedent with the partychat blocking, Dark Souls is too niche, risky and unique for anyone to care or follow any of what it does. This is not the typical commercial game focus tested to hell and back, anyone willing to play a niche punishing game like this with the weird and innovative features it has, will be easilly willing to give up partychat for the good of the experience. I'm just glad games like this get to come out, games that don't get compromised by the goals of high sales numbers.Devolution said:

I'm super sorry for how off-topic (and self-promoting) this is, but you've got to check out the Steam pre-order bonuses for Dungeon Defenders.
I'm going to introduce my girlfriend's brother to the world of new bloom/no bloom later tonight.
And with that, I promise I won't talk about the game anymore.

No worries. I wasn't trying to get anyone to buy anything. I was just genuinely excited about it. :^)PsychoRaven said:

Oh I didn't think you were. I mean it looks cool. I'd probably buy it if I hadn't just sold a couple of PS3 games to buy Orcs Must Die the other day. lol

I heard from an inside source that Halo 4's DLC is done already.

Your source is wrong. It's actually 4,5 and 6's DLC done.

They knew about it. It was confirmed as much in the Adjunct stories of TFoR's re-release.Zeouterlimits said:
Wondering if this is the reason people are having a hard time adjusting to damage bleed.

That has to be fixed. I hope 343i knows about this already.GhaleonEB said:

Oh wow. I wonder if this carries over to shots needed to kill too? I swear on Zealot the other day, I picked up a healthpack, recharged, then was killed in three shots (at least it felt that way).
Quite a serious glitch. I'm sure they'll fix it - that's half the point of the tu beta right? To find things they couldn't.

Haven't noticed this yet online, but this a serieus bug that needs to be fixed. I wonder if they can actually do that without releasing a second title update.
I hope there is something in megalo that allows to fix this. It would be a lot faster then making, testing and releasing another TU.

Good news Booshka. After the event, Ogre 2 might stream some Shadowrun, CE, or Halo 2.
TheOddOne said:
Who would? The bullet instantly travels to max distance, and I can't be arsed to look but it's probably near the same distance the DMR bullet travels.
On Asylum Zero Bloom you can pistolkill someone from snipe to snipe fairly fast, even out of red reticule range.
The only way zero bloom can work without breaking the Reach sandbox is to lock the pistol and DMR's ROF to the no-bloom ROF. Don't know why they just didn't do it that way, would have made more sense, and they broke LAN compatibility anyway so you might as well change client-side attributes like that.
