[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;36505457]That's alright, but Freelancer was good for it's year but there were something that could of been much well used and improved on. Such as they could of added trade missions instead of just fighting missions, increased the use of the sandbox and improve the horrible networking (playing online you used to get packet loss big time every few minutes and god it was awful)[/QUOTE]
I prefer combat anyway.. (Freespace 2 <3)
It's 2 days until the summer sales and the money still haven't transferred to paypal from my bank account
I requested the transfer on June 20, and it says "approximately 3-4 business days"

You might've fucked something up. All transfers have for me been either 3 or 4 days.

Well the money are already gone from my bank account
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;36505073]I've kinda had this thought in my head about re-inventing a game. People might of heard about Freelancer or even played it or even have the original box. But we gotta admint, it didn't really live up to expectations so I have thought about revamping the game. Of course I know very little about Game Development and I have been talking with a few people (wingless about which engine and unity was suggested)So I'm thinking, is it worth trying? And if so who would like to suggest ideas or even contribute to this.[/QUOTE]
I hate the way unity handles networking, syncing issues, slow response, weird ownership handling etc, the networking is terrible.
it's a good engine for quick arcade games. But if you need a feature that's not included it's a pain in the ass to work around it.
Fucking sales, all I have is cash right now!

But not to de-rail do you have any ideas that could of been improved or anything that you would add(think hard)?[/QUOTE]
Better 6DoF style controls.
All space games need 6DoF controls.

Also, we need to start steam chat up again, remember last year when i was in the chat every morning on holiday?
that was fun.
And i'm not posting from GB.
Is anyone interested in playing some Magicka?
I want to finish the damn game but playing it in singleplayer is boring without all that glorious teamkiling

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;36506528]Well care to debate what game engine do you think that would be able to achieve what unity can or even better?
Oh god, the mouse control is kind of lazy. But keyboard would be more skill and precision, but freespace's mouse/flight control was awesome and more precise.
Ideas from my friends.[/QUOTE]
I wonder how flexible the Freespace 2 engine is... Probably not enough.
I wonder if CryEngine 3 would be enough for a space game?

I just use instant transfers from my bank. To get instant transfers, you need to attach a credit card to the paypal account. If you attach a prepaid mastercard or visa, it would still work despite it not being a "real" credit card.

fuck i want to punch sheep in the throat right now for not being more forceful about getting a $100 higher budget so he could get in the build i put together for him and trusting his brothers to build him a computer without ANY of his input
because 1. he only knows the GPU that's going in it (which was a third of his $600 dollar budget) and...
THIS.

You can go to gamestop and trade money/points/old games for steam wallet money.
Are there any people in here who use the Roku streaming player for netflix?
I really want to get netflix, I have this old RCA tv and a London Drugs near me sells the Roku X2 (or whatever the name is) for ~80$
Seems to be the cheapest way because everything else involves more expensive devices and hdmi to rca coverters

I know about FS2 Open :v: But I'm not sure how much re-working you'd need to have a giant universe or even flawlessly changing between systems.
So when *do* the Steam Sales start? Because my wallet? Totally ready.
Railworks, and all it's DLC?
[b]I could actually buy that.[/b]
I'm not going to, because that would be a stupid thing to do with $2,000 - I'd rather get like, six 1440p monitors - but I could if I so desired!
For the last two summers, I've been unemployed, at school, my savings steadily dwindling. I bought very few games. But now, for the first time in a long time, I can see a Steam Sale and say "Yup. Imma buy that, and that, and that, and that, and I'll buy that whole series just because I want that one game and it's cheaper this way".
And if my laptop *finally* shows up before the sale, I can actually play them!
