NSFW Best Thread Ever [No SJW-related posts allowed]

Astroturfing is an alternative way of generating hype.

 

Only in Witcher 2 and in the beginning, since Geralt and Trish are involved with each other anyway. Magic Potato-mans deadpan way of speaking made the dialogue somewhat awkward at moments, so it's a good thing they didn't try to force bad romance down your throat.

 

Thanks, I was wondering about the other game since I learned it was a series of some sort.

 

It can't be the same developers though, can it? If I'm not wrong, the first was developed by Ripcord games. Really fun game, especially the night levels in Russia.

The second one was fucking awful beyond belief though. To this day, I still can't believe they released it. It feels like a very unpolished, unfinished alpha-version of a tech demo. Buttons missing, bugs everywhere, ugly interface, everything looked like shit.

 

Do you mean Ranger Assault? I remember it was not only very buggy, but insanely difficult due to missions with extremely strict time limits. Quite disappointing compared to other games of this same dead genre(The existence of ARMA 2 doesn't make it less dead) like Hidden and Dangerous and Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear

 

The first was "Rangers lead the way", with the expansion pack "Ranger Team Bravo". Yeah, it was very tough, and it contained quite a few bugs (especially clipping problems) but I found it very enjoyable. I'm also pretty sure it was released quite a while before HaD and Rainbow Six, but yes in comparison to those it was quite weak. I still have it lying around, maybe I should give it a go without my nostalgia glasses...

 

The story behind this picture is the guy fell through the level's floor and got 146 deaths registered before he popped back out through magic.

 

That's the new Devil May Cry?

 

Haha wow. Why even have scores?

 

Yes.

 

I guess the "Style = SS" subscore compensates for the shitty everything else, or deaths don't count for the final score.

oh

oooooooh

 

Ninja Theory makes piss easy games. That's what they do. Glowing platforms and such

Of course, they are also critical darlings of the gaming media racket, who have never met popamole they didn't like this gen.

Whatever good will Capcom gained with Dragon's Dogma they pissed away by giving these bozos a DMC game to work on.

 

Yeah, it seems to be pure franchise rape. Next: Megaman reboot by Ninja Theory.

Maybe the scoring system is inspired by the press and just doesn't give an overall score lower than B.

 

B = 80% which means total shit failure would not want to be seen playing.

 

That's how you promote MMO

 

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH

Sim City beta EULA includes company-wide ban for unreported bugs

Failing to tell EA about problems could ban you from all EA games.


Here at Ars Technica, we're no strangers to overzealous EULAs. But a clause in the EULA for the beta version of Electronic Arts' new Sim City might take the cake for punishing users for seemingly innocuous actions... or lack of actions.

As Twitter user Dan Teasdale tweeted recently (and SideQuesting promoted), the end-user license agreement you have to sign to get access to the new Sim City beta mentions that "it is your responsibility to report all known bugs, abuse of ‘bugs’, ‘undocumented features’ or other defects and problems related to the Game and Beta Software to EA as soon as they are found ('Bugs')." That's not so bad, but it gets a little bit more concerning when the EULA lays out the penalties for failing to report a bug you come across.

"If you know about a Bug or have heard about a Bug and fail to report the Bug to EA, we reserve the right to treat you no differently from someone who abuses the Bug. You acknowledge that EA reserve the right to lock anyone caught abusing a Bug out of all EA products."

That circuitous language obscures a simple fact: just coming across a bug in the Sim City beta and not telling anyone about it is enough to ban you from all EA games.

This kind of language isn't exactly new; players noted a similar clause in the agreement for the Battlefield 3 beta. It's not the first time EA's EULAs have attracted controversy, either; in 2011, the Origin user agreement let the software collect data from anywhere on your hard drive and upload it to EA. EA quickly revised that language days after widespread player outrage over the clause.

We have yet to hear any reports of players being banned for simply stumbling upon an unreported bug. In fact, it's hard to imagine how EA would actually detect that a player failed to report a game-breaking bug that was encountered. More than likely, the company would only make use of this company-wide ban if someone started spreading word of a beta bug publicly, rather than simply telling EA about it.

Just because some overprotective lawyer stuck this language in the EULA doesn't mean EA plans to use its power punitively. Still, the revelation helps highlight just how many powers software makers like EA reserve for themselves when you click that "I accept" button. Let's be thankful that no one has yet put a sentence in a EULA saying the software maker has the right to remove your kidneys in the dead of night.

 

So how does that work when half the time EA claims that the bugs are features?

 

Not reporting features will also result in bans.

EA will ban until the problem goes away.

 

Only good things can come from that clause.

 

The banhammer SHALL continue until morality improves.

Ah shit, I don't feel like typing that again.

 

Well, you see, with EA, this is the formula:

Leave bugs in, call them features.
Cut out features, make games featureless.
Slap on some DRM.

Profit

 

Cut out features - release as DLC later.
When player hax the code and notices DLC was cut feature - ban player for hax.
