Who did you get to do the voice?

Or is that you?

And all this Internet drama might have had an adverse effect on the impact of DXREV's release, because while the major sites like RPS, PCGamer, Kotaku, Wired and The Verge have featured the mod, the daily pageviews on ModDB have only topped out at 8k whereas a two-bit ham sandwich theater mod like ...

That is not even remotely the extent of what everyone wants, otherwise everything would be free-to-play mobile games. "The consumer" also encompasses a metric ton of people who are perfectly willing to pay more for high-quality and/or niche content, and people who are willing to put in quite a bit ...

Arguably, all consumer/producer relations are a "war". The consumer wants stuff as easily and cheaply as possible, whereas producers typically want some kind of control of their product while making enough money.

Crossposting from the codex: So, I played through the first mission and UNATCO in this mod. In general, it certainly feels more modern for both good and bad (although mostly bad in my opinion). I detected very slight mechanical changes: Accuracy now caps at a worse rate, so even after standing still...

My opnion really only (barely) matters if you're building a gaming rig: 32 GB seems a bit overkill to me. Even if you look at recent AAA releases (twitch3r, MGSV), they only recommend 8. So it seems to me you could save a decent amount of cash for little performance downgrade by getting 16GB instead...

In 2000 it was absolutely possible to animate over the top superpowers, the thing is they are not supposed to be over the top, at least before Eidos Montreal came in with their misguided take of how a Deus Ex game should be. I think you're missing the bigger point: You don't need to animate your su...

I wasn't counting how the hours while playing the expansion (I did the 'main quest' and am in the middle of the star puzzles) but I would hazard a guess at up to 15 hours of playing time including the secret puzzles, assuming you're about the same level of intelligence as I am. Hmm. I admittedly on...

I was meaning to buy this, but it felt pretty expensive for DLC.

How long would you say it is, and does it have new puzzle mechanics? I got pretty sated with the ones in the main game.

parkouring which was very novel at the time. No it wasn't. There's Prince of Persia: SoT & Ninja Gaiden (2004) which did it better, among others. I have admittedly not played Ninja Gaiden, but PoP is more of a platformer than a parkour game. There is a big difference between being able to climb whe...

Assassins Creed: had the fans of this game even played a stealth/action title before? Once again, I was baffled. The game played itself to some degree. I think you are being to harsh here. AssCreed had several things to set it apart: historical authenticity in terms of architecture and such, as wel...

They last longer, anyway.

Thank you for making a valuable contribution.

Eh, I am not so sure. I think there's some remembrance bias here, in that you don't remember the painfully generic bad stuff. In the context of games, hell no. The popularity levels were justly deserved, with some exceptions (e.g Looking Glass' games being ignored). Sadly, cursory googling didn't t...

Not only that but it is simulated, as we humans in real life can only drink so many fluids at one time...although I hear you play as the mythical Witcher in the game, but I don't know exactly what that entails and the dude looks human to me so it is safe to assume many real world rules apply to him...

I demand the evolution of games as we knew them, but the direction instead changed to simplifying, and making pseudo-games which are just simplifications of old concepts. Again, of course there are exceptions. I totally agree. There's so many old games I'd like to see expanded, refined, followed up...
