Maybe there should be companies making stuff for the developers. Like animations or creatures. I wouldn't mind having similar animations,  a guy runs more or less the same in reality, also swings more or less the same, so maybe that company could make a profit selling those animations, just changing them a bit for every game.

Every animator already has animations like those in their own library most probably have like a dozen.   Just like most programmers probably have a prefered database package and prefered sockets package.

Developement is getting everyone on the same page and connecting everything.

So I went to google to lazy to rember warhammers website.   Just typed in plain old 'war'  no caps or anything else.   And mythics website came up as number one on the list.

Google uses standard text searching along with a compilation of where other people with similar search queries went.

Just though it'd be interesting to mention.

Oh yes you can do a lot of stuff with a secondlife like engine.   Pretty much morph your character into a dragon that's the size of a house if you really wanted to and were clever enough to work with and around the creation system.   Occasionally you can even end up finding stuff that looks better than stuff you see in a lot of MMOs. 

Granted that goes way to far for what I'd want to see in an MMO, just being able to custimize the stats and modify the skin a bit is enough for me.   for crafting not with fricking sliders but rather with the materials used and processes used.

There are so many developers tools for any game that it's not funny.   If a game wasn't automated in any way shape or form everything(graphics and whatever else) would be made in notepad.   You can also make your programs in notepad as well.

Basically we aren't in the 60's anymore

If someone political made the video it was a decently intelligent conservative or a stupid liberal.

But in all honesty just someone bringing some light heartiness to the election for E-Fame.

It's called devils advocate.

The main reason a game takes that long is if you have to do a recode or two, which tosses everything out the window except for the developement experiance your team got and maybe some art assests if you can convert them.

Oh yes FFA PvP  with looting is not remotely a sandbox mechanic at all.  After all you're limiting people choices of how they'll play in the world, what gear they'll take, and how they'll willingly interact with people.  Just far too limiting, not sandbox at all.

It goes both ways One mans lack of limits is another's limit. 

It's really really shortsighted to think that a game can only be made one way and one way only.  Just as narrow minded as what we're seeing with world of everclone games.

Seriously a sandbox is completely summed as a world where you have multiable forms of advancement and ways to affect the game world, including forms outside of what a vast majority of people will do.    It's perfectly understandable that an intelligent developer who sees more than a player would would be able to make a sandbox game without PvP combat which is the only thing that counts for most people.

That really isn't a lot of information.  what did you like most/least about games played.

I would personally send ya to guild wars since it does have(had better in past versions) good PvP, and the main stories while cliche are brillent for an MMO with cutscenes and voice acting.   All in all not a bad game that you shouldn't power through too quickly with your play schedule.   

But it's also tossing a stone in the dark since you've said so little.

I fired my first Rifle when I was 12, though I have not ever touched a hand gun(just like a vast majority of Wisconsin liberals).   I assure you I don't have thoughts of rampaging through a school.   As for kids with guns incidents they're really just irresposible guardian iccidents,  parents should be charged in court for their failing.

As for the father nothing should happen really just a misunderstanding and tresspassing for the most part.

Having to get into combat is a last resort its failing to stay undected.   Any good ninja knows that you must be unseen, unheard, and unfelt.   As for why you're more worried about combat impact I'm completely mystified, you should never be in a fight and the closest thing to a fight you should ever be in is putting a dagger in the back of your marks neck.

(sorry sorry just messing with you couldn't help it)

I'm more likely to notice the crafting system, story content(tasks aren't story), and the skill depth.   Especially over looks, I mean seriously I've played wurmonline.   As for combat speed I'll take slower combat anyday of the week over activating 50 instant casts in a row.

Wurmonline

NO sense of impact

NO sense of sound (though there is some)

and pretty much just no.

jumping a lol coptering is something I avoid.   You can literally set up a fricking bot to do it in a short while.   However you can't set up a bot to make tactical decisions, to intuitivly know what the enemies next move is based on the current situation and personality that you've seen so far, and one that knows when to pull out an ace.

There really isn't a reason to play a game 6 hours a day for 14 days...

Now wonder why can't find a MMO.   You kill, stomp, tread, and bulldoze your way through it. 

It's not that large of an expense for a bussiness.

Making one custom computer is pretty easy making 150 custom computers that are identical can get tricky.

with that said if it's sucessful grats las vegas is probably one of the few spots where there would be a demand for a cyber cafe I guess.

To get all of it in one game yes.

As for why you aren't enjoying a game that gets most of the stuff that's all you.

The only way you exhaust an enemy in a MMO is getting the enemy side to have people quit or convert.

Hehehe I have an opened portal box sitting on my shelf, though the disk has never been in my compy since I don't want steam on my computer.   Though I have played the game on it.   Pure magic

Stuff that shows off their engine.   Well to be honest it's just a wild guess but it's a logical one based on their latest annoucement.

VB is a RAD language...  RAD=Rapid application Developement.

Granted if you're thinking of dropping it because it's hard you would have a candles chance in a hurricane to learn a different programming language.   If you're dropping it because you feel like a retard using a language that does soo much of the stuff for you, that's kinda the point live with it and keep your mouth shut.
