It's a wonder we even got the games we got, in whatever horrendous state they are in.

 

[Old Hans]

I would guess both. Valve gave them an unfinished version of the Source engine that they kept changing all the time, so Troika had to restart over and over again with Bloodlines. This annoyed Activision so much that they told them to stop development before they were finished and then released the game at the very same day as HL2 which was really stupid. On the other hand just judging from all the unfinished stuff I found in the game files, Troika really had feature creep going on with Bloodlines tool!

I always thought it was weird that Valve would let Trioka use their unfinished Source engine before Halflife 2 was even released.

Valve probably didn't thought they would delay everything so much themselves, but I guess Gabe Newell was only interested in cementing the Steam monopoly and didn't care at all about the HL2 development at the time.

Remember also that Atari's testers didn't feel like playing Bard, so it just went untested and shipped with major bugs.

Great. This is similar to the proven fact that Activision's tester never played the whole Bloodlines game as Nosferatu.

I wonder how common this was/is. VtM: Redemption also had a true clusterfuck of a development cycle.

Seems to be every game ever. I'm becoming seriously disillusioned with the whole thing.

sounds like more juicy gossip.

"That information I also traded to the Giovanni for a bit of *slurp* juicy gossip."

I talk about the development of The Temple of Elemental Evil, from January 2002 to September 2003.

Dick Wrench hee hee

he talks about bugbears but ignores the big one in the room

There's a gay pirate over in Nulb.
Bertram, I think he's called.
Tim self insert?

 

[Alienman]

Scourge of the butts.

That there are so many? That's just how the module is.

Tim self insert?

Tom Decker created him.

Faithfulness to the source material foils another attempt at greatness

 

[NecroLord]

More bugbears to slaughter.
I do not see the problem...

I discuss the details of eight different character builds with which I finished the Outer Worlds. As a bonus, I include a list of purchase requests I received during the development of that game.

Can't say it convinced me to play through The Outer Worlds even once, but I'm happy for Tim that he liked his game so much.

 

[Stavrophore]

Eight playthroughs? WTF is wrong with him.

 

[Roguey]

Tim did not enjoy supernova mode.

By contrast, he loved story mode. This is why RPGs are tuned the way they are.

Eight playthroughs? WTF is wrong with him.

RPGs need to be played loads of times by as many people as possible.

 

[NecroLord]

I find the way Tim shills for The Outer Worlds to be highly annoying.

 

[Yoomazir]

One playthrough is already torture, he's gotta be a masochist to do 8.

 

[flyingjohn]

Not even Todd could play Oblivion multiple times. Tim is something else.

"Snuggler" was a self insert. Tim the Smooth Criminal

 

[TC Jr]

I find the way Tim shills for The Outer Worlds to be highly annoying.

1. He worked on it, what's he meant to do? Especially with a potential sequel, which he's consulting on IIRC
2. He's a jobby jabber, a peter poofter, an arse bandit, a faggot, so to speak. He'll be optimistic/willing to give anything a try and react positively to it, regardless of it's state.

Does Todd even play video games?
Especially the ones he's worked on?

He's said in interviews that he plays modded Skyrim. Even he won't defend the vanilla UI.

why boomers hate leadership positions? they prefer to let everything rot before taking responsibility
