So did you too rack up like 50 different save files over the course of Half-Life 2, Evo?

Why?

A lot of problems came around.

Not enough resource for more than 3 people, greifing, going into Hardmode when not everyone was ready, varying time zones so not everyone could be on at the same time, shit like that.

There's a lot of t-shock server mods for the occasion I thought. I remember playing one server that was a linked network of three different servers, with a plugin to deny anything but registered characters that were made fresh there. One was the build world that never reset and had anti-grief plugins, another was a world with hard mode disabled that reset every three or so days, while the last was a server locked to hard mode that reset once a week.


But such a server sounds complicated to set up, requires 3 times the terraria servers running, and this is all assuming those said plugins are up to date with the latest version of terraria which I have no reason to believe otherwise.

What kind of Terraria experience is this? Fresh characters on a fresh world? Or whatever.

Only missing the healing. Surprised he didn't stuff that effect in there as well.

I hate interactive movies, my hate is cancelled out by good humour tho.

I don't care for the Wii or Wii U but they are one of the more interesting game/console developers. Putting money into ventures and failing in some regards, but overall furthering the game industry and bring deversity that everyone is too scared to bring. I think Miyamoto said it best himself. Nintendo is necessary to the industry, everyones too scared to take risks at this point and is solely betting it all on graphics, except them.



Now they get accusing of overusing their franchises too much. Which is so fricken true, they're overkilling it with pokemon and mario games at this point. Too many mario spin offs in my opinion. At least they occasionally come up with a new successful IP like animal crossing or Splatoon.


Oh yeah, and they suck bad at online play, got a lot of catching up to do there. But I'd say they're doing the most good for the gaming industry in a world where we mostly see cookie cutter sequals and remasters dominating it.

I get the feeling the target audience of nintendo is more so gamers in general. Children usually go wherever is most popular aka call of duty before not so sure what now.

I was in 4-H, a boy scout equalivent(not really but probably the closest thing we have) for Canada. That was a long long time ago though.

Doesn't it seem like there's a bit too many of these kind of games. I don't enjoy storyrich or interactive movie games, but if I did the Walking Dead, the Game of Thrones, and Sam & Max would've had me played out long ago no doubt.

In a way they've also made it stale. Great for you if you like their service. But horrifying for those who don't, there's no other decent options. It's sad because most of the steam problems rest solely on Valve to blame. I don't understand how a company so successful and rich has a support that F2P MMOs would be ashamed of.

Steam support has never let me down.

Can only take up to a month sometimes. Last time I used it they had it down to a 2 week wait period for "most urgent" matters. Everytime I brought that up most people correct me saying it's a month now.


But time is only one of the many issues plaguing steam's support. The generic copy and paste messages, the ones that make it feel like you're talking to a bot, don't always match your issues. Biggest problem is that I found Steam's support required the most amount work on my part. Making a new account related to steam support, photographing and uploading a steam wallet card alongside the receit writing your ticket number on it, and supplying the a code thing I got from the automated email response. Luckily I don't throw away my receits, steam wallet cards, or delete my automated steam replies telling me what game I bought. Otherwise I'd be fucked. Oh and I guess I'm fairly lucky I had a copy machine to upload the image containing the information they needed, as I'm not sure they would accept a camera level quality picture.


Then the part that gets to me, (and probably so many others as well) is that for all this effort you put into your support ticket, giving them all the various information they need, you're left waiting in the dark for an undetermined amount of time, only to receive another copy and paste bot response telling you they finally fixed what shouldn't have taken them more than an hour for a respectable support to solve. I don't think Steam's support could get much worse, other than not responding ever, or perhaps asking for a dna test.
