Re: StarWars 1-3 fan theory about Jar Jar Binks

to be fair, I said "pretty much everybody". Only a sith deals in absolutes :D edit: I misread your message. More precisely, I confused "Clone Wars" with "Attack of the Clones" on your #1, so everything in this following spoiler is what I edited out since it is not as re...

StarWars 1-3 fan theory about Jar Jar Binks

This makes the rounds for a few weeks now, but it was news to me. Pretty much everybody conciders the SW prequels to be a failure in every aspect apart from financially. Certain facts remain true, such as the massively boring scenes in a childrens movie, Lucas being an awful director, overuse of CGI...

Did anybody pick up Elite: Dangerous during this sale? What are your first impressions? Are there people here that played it for longer, and if so, what is your opinion of it? Katalliaan and MaxAstro talked about buying/owning it in this thread, I'd love to hear more from you. I'm thinking about pic...

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled

you really don't need much to survive a night in vanilla. To me, staying alive through the night is a non-problem that really didn't need an additional solution. Why the fuck does this need to be any easier than it already is? That's the thing, surviving the night is not a problem in the game right...

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled

I also disliked the whole thing in the video about abandoned houses with no zombies to make it easier for players to get an initial base. Lame.

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled

Legs change how the creature moves around, and I'm not sure how well that will merge with their motion captured animations, and AI, hence why I was suspicious as to whether this was a thing or not. I'm quite curious as to how this will turn out as well. Here is a much more recent quote about limb r...

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled

Source

I wasn't sure anymore myself, but there is the source. Since the initial prototype, they say they've also added a lot more weak spots/breaking ppints for decapitation and gibs, and apparently want to show this in a video "soon"

I just re-read a whooole lot of thread ;)

I'm tempted, thanks for the heads up!

How easy is it to play with 1 and only 1 other guy? Do I need to set up a dedicated server or is there a way to play P2P?

I'd like to strongly disagree on this point. In any game that has even slightly competent developers, the above should never be true.
