Hey now, people might start to believe that. There are cheaters on the CSD leaderboard-- like the people with 300+ combos on the regular leaderboard but that aren't on the extreme leaderboard-- and I'm suspicious of the people in the high 300s also, but my score is legit. I could probably break 300 too if I really got back into it-- getting 296, I was still hesitating, still sloppy, still having those blank-out moments during rush hours.

But I didn't cheat. I mean, I don't even own a review site.

Ouch I'm sorry, I wrote that as a joke, without realizing it could have been perceived as serious!

Probably because I couldn't really think that some people took the effort needed to actually cheat in CSD. I mean WTF, I thought that something was wrong with 350+ combos, but I blamed the fact to my lame menu not bringing buzz over some percentage.

Anyway, I believe 300 is doable, even tho at my point is more the game that doesn't allow me, with plenty of (relatively) empty moments in non-rush hours, or too many chores in the same day.
But going that much above... shit is crazy indeed.

Anyone knows how to use M&Ms mastercard on Paypal? Steam no longer accept them

You can't. Paypal is no longer accepting them either. Too many people gamed the system.

I just used it in the wee hours of this morning. I just went through the shopping portal on paypal that redirects through steam. You add the card like a normal debit card.

I'm saying I'm optimistic.

You'll get that that date with Saoirse. After me, that is.

Wut really?

I played it for more than 30 hours, both with a MacBook Pro and with a random Logitech keyboard and I never had a single problem.

You could try playing with a controller, I've never tried it (nor I would, as I really like the typing side of the game) but chubigans himself said somewhere it eventually became his favorite controlling method.

[Caerith]

I think the easy route would be having 3-5 predeterminated routes of dialogue per personality. Sure its not randomly generated but having multiple personalities to randomly drop at you there are chances you will have to play to get all that out despite the dialogue being full by those 3-5 predeterminated routes of dialogue.

Shy
Outgoing
Reserved
Silly
Smart

Each of that would have 3-5 randomly selected line of dialogues so it would put it around 15-25 different styles of dialogues. The tricky part remains on attaching personalities to the looks. Could be easily implemented by the eyes I suppose as usually you can notice the difference in the eyes or posture. Im a mess I know.

I think it would have to be more complex to stay interesting. Each personality would need a core trope (jock, nerd, artist, etc), a public/private demeanor (shy, outgoing, etc), an issue to trigger yandere mode (trust issues, insecurity, etc), and a preferred method of dealing with conflicts (knife, ropes and saws, etc). You can write each component separately-- athletics and trust issues won't often overlap, for instance, but have custom overlap text for when they do.

Looks can be randomized for each playthrough, and the eyes/mouth can portray the moods.

Depends on what you want. Legend is a bit more action oriented than Underworld. But when I played the HD collection on PS3 I enjoyed legend more.

 

[Zeknurn]

I'm digging your description. I've been in the mood for something like this, lately. How early is the Early Access? As in, are there at least a good amount of maps for rotation?

I've got some Dirty Bomb beta keys for anyone interested in trying that out.

The number of maps is definitely on the low side and they're all seeing pretty substantial design changes every few patches.

There are currently 3 big maps and 3 smaller maps in the game all with multiple entry points which does give some variation to the games.

The bigger ones are:
Town with four entry points. The map you will see most often as most battles in the campaign are fought over towns.
Mountain town with four entry points. Got a major redesign recently to be less mountainy and more hilly.
Airfield with four entry points.

And the three small ones are:
Factory with two entry points.
Two forest skirmish maps for a smaller number of players with two entry points.

As for how in how early is the early access? Well my reference point of how finished games are these days is pretty skewed. But I'd say it's in a stable state, runs well, looks great(check out their suspension modelling on tanks) but it's not feature complete with the number of maps being the biggest factor. Shooting feels pretty good with high time-to-kill and using aim-down sight isn't at all necessary to be good at killing people which is refreshing in today shooter climate.

The biggest downside to the game is that there's a pretty considerable grind to unlock higher tier tanks and infantry weapons.

It's worth the 1GB download just to see if it's something you will like.

In a perfect world:

1) Half-Life 3
2) Left 4 Dead 3
3) Stars of Blood

That's a weird way to spell:

1) Ricochet 2
2) Ricochet 2: Expansion 1
3) Ricochet 2: Expansion 2

[Htown]

Anniversary is actually a remake of the very first Tomb Raider game, so story-wise it takes place before the other two. If that matters.

 

[Copons]

Oh yup you're right, I misread his post.

I really enjoyed Legend but found Anniversary to be so frustrating that I just walked away from it.

Never played Underworld but i thought the remake was really underrated.

Naw man, i got so much to play. I know having a steam account is basically admitting that you have no restraint but I gotta try.

No and yes. The two play rather differently but I feel that the original has the better sense of place and prefer the perpetually depressing atmosphere.

This is different than a game update I believe, but I don't know why 'still getting updated' would make you interested in the game more than before. The 2nd is pretty fantastic and should be picked up. At least before you play W3.

also lol at the last remark

No worries, I just had to say something to stave off any potential pitchforks.

I got my combo with coffee, corndogs, and pretzels. I changed my keys so I didn't have to move my hand, and I started using the numpad to select orders. I tried dozens of times, going in with high buzz (so no empty moments) and restarting any time I made a mistake or got robbed. I mean, I had already 100%'d the game at this point, getting a good combo was just the cherry on top.

I tried to play some CSD on my laptop last night and just ended up getting very frustrated.

The keyboard is essentially broken and frequently doesn't recognize inputs.

That sucks. Like Copons said, you could play with a controller. It's easy enough to for everyday play, but you'd probably need a keyboard for leaderboarding.
