  1. Real Time with Paws - what's wrong?

    I concur...it goes both ways. ANYTHING is tedious if it doesn't engage you. An action-y example(speaking only for myself): The new Rachet and Clank on the PS3...tedious. Weapons offer modest 'oomph', the levels are mundane and the tactics are non-existent. Pick the heaviest hitting weapon...

  2. Favorite inventory system in a game?

    Ha, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've said it many times here on the codex, but yea I 'really' liked the inventory 'backpack' of U7+. Yes, there was a satisfaction at the backpack not being gridded into squares, allowing for arbitrary stacking of items. Hell it could've been neat if items had...

  3. How to make a numberless (but stat-heavy) system WORK

    Oh and to note, not that increases through narrative would be timed and paced with the story, but through a discovery during play...measured increases but not like current RPG convention. Reward system would revolve around story and quest progression and tasks and abilities would be aided with...

  4. How to make a numberless (but stat-heavy) system WORK

    From what you guys were talking about Claw, perhaps its the systems themselves that need to adjust. Instead of measuring cumulative success (Wasteland), or skill degredation even (UO), remove the need to manage skills and have them adjust/improve/decrease through narrative. The idea here is to...

  5. How to make a numberless (but stat-heavy) system WORK

    Gah, you know, I can't believe we talked about this in 2005...holy shit. Second, all of you, please read and understand the thread if you're really interested in the concept and not simply contrarian. The CORE idea is that we do away with the NEED to micro-manage the numbers...of course...

  6. The what games are you currently playing thread.

    Gears of War Shadowrun Forza 2 ...System Shock 2 on and off (for the eigth time)

  7. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    Hey, you know what Fez, ultimately as long as I was able to bring some entertainment to a bunch of sweet folks here, I've done my job...thats what makes me happy. :D

  8. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    HA!! Looking closely at the stake-goblin-imp-vamp thingy, I just got the FF7 joke!!! (right below the PainKiller sequence)...hehe thats fucking great. EDIT: Okay slowly learning my lesson here about how literal things are taken...I meant I just NOTICED the FF7 joke...it didn't take any...

  9. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    Well the glasses...that really looks familiar...but I can't place it...

  10. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    So that brown thing at the end of Pain Killer dudes stake was from Bloodlines? Yea that one wasn't clear at all...hell that could've been the Imps from the Overlord game coming out...again breaking temporal law.

  11. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    Then again, come on, why post if people aren't going to read. So now I have to do tiny post after tiny post just to get all of them in but also digestible for the ignorant ADHD masses!? I refuse! ...and I apparently DID get the Stalker "reference" after all... ;) ...but yea I did miss a few

  12. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    K. HA! In fact I did get it as evidenced by my LONG POST YOU DIDN'T READ...you said as much in your next post! No honestly, I got it right away, but I didn't believe it to be so, so I went with Stalker guy until a better choice came up...which it didn't. And me getting it had nothing to do...

  13. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    *sigh* ...page 2...my big post...all is revealed: Thanks Fez :(

  14. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    Thats all I'm saying... ...high five Wallace \o

  15. Awesome Gaming Poster (Russian)

    No I'm not, simply because like 99% of this image is like NON-RUSSIAN. I mean by this logic, more of this image would comprise of, if not just Russian, eastern European gaming icons, no? You're killing me man. I said three times now I KNOW its Stalker, but that it's a poor choice considering...
