they pushed said engine to it's absolute limits

agent86

@FAE I personally did not care for it

the combat's just not what I would consider "fun"

it doesn't shirk away from dealing with sex, though. although, honestly, I'm not sure how classy a game can be that features collectible cards for each girl you can bed.

Ben Brocka

Unregistered too, that figures

@agent86 Yeah, that aspect is... umm.. well... yeah. I don't know what they were thinking there.

@agent86 Game? I assumed people did that IRL... O.o

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmmm. I still have to finish NWN2 as well. Original campaign never drew me in. :/ I remember that you've said really good things about Mask of the Betrayer though.

@agent86 Uh... huh.

@BenBrocka (I assume you mean venereal diseases)

@FAE Mask is incredible and quite short.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE The other xpack, Storm of Zehir is a tottally unrelated little adventure that isn't bad, it just isn't particularly good. It feels like a throwback to a classic D&D adventure in a lot of ways.

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz Part of the reason I didn't finish was because I'd waited so long for NWN2, and then it came out, I got all the fancy CE stuff, fired up the game and it felt like they'd barely improved the game engine at all even though the sysreqs were higher.. There weren't even new voices!

agent86

@FAE not that this should be surprising, but there's a wiki page with a list of the sex cards - and you better believe that most/all are way, way, NSFW.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE Yeah, Obsidian basically spent all of their time and energy on writing and map design and none of it at all on the engine.

@YiJiang I'm limited in the data I can examine. There is no exist interview for users for me to determine the actual reason why a users left (or even if they did leave, the 200 mark is completely arbitrary). I've shown the total user <200 rate for comparison before, and it looks relatively similar to the total join rate (wich is to say: not convincing one way or another)

Ben Brocka

@agent86 so how do you get the holo-foil versions of the cards?

LessPop_MoreFizz

On an unrelated note, today in infographics that don't teach us anything new:

agent86

@BenBrocka you do not want to know.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz surprised by Austrialia

@BenBrocka for that you need to ENTER THE GAME ala Captain-N and bang them yourself.

3:08 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz hahaha

tzenes

@YiJiang sure we can ignore the first couple months, and the last couple months, but that doesn't really change the data, it merely removes the outliers.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Why surprised by Australia? It's comparable to any other western nation

tzenes

@YiJiang, but these are both interpretations, is there a metric we could look at which would give us a better idea of how a closed question affects a user?

Ben Brocka

I suppose, I'm just not familiar with any Australian...anything-bands, really

Q: What benefits are there to being in a guild?

I've just started playing Realm of the Mad God, and I noticed that you can create a guild for 1,000 Fame. This sounds like... a lot of fame. What are the benefits to being in a guild? I assume there is guild chat, and I noticed in the Nexus that there is a portal to a Guild Hall if you're in a ...

@BenBrocka Clearly you have never played a didgeridoo

Yi Jiang

@tzenes What I'm saying is that you've just shown that people leave. You haven't shown that people who have had their questions closed are more likely to leave than the average question asker

tzenes

Yes, I understand

I just don't know how to

Yi Jiang

The data set is tiny, and the number of variables so many that personally, the only thing I can draw out of your first chart is that people's rep increase with time

tzenes

well, we could look at the probability someone gains more than 200 rep

or we could look at last seen vs current time

a [psone-classics] tag was recently created, apparently by @soulstriderx, I see no point in it. How can you vote on tag deletion?

Q: Can a PSP play PSOne Classics from PSN (e.g., Final Fantasy VII)?

I'm thinking about getting a second hand PSP, the original one with UMD Drive. I just noticed that the PSN Store has many PSOne classics (like Final Fantasy VII and IX), but I wonder if that works on a PSP, or if it needs a Playstation 3, which I don't have?

ps3 psn psp psone-classics

FAE

@RonanForman ...really?

Wipqozn

It's valid on that question.

So don't delete the tag.

Ronan Forman

3:25 PM

@FAE Yup.

JohnoBoy

they can safely be tagged as PS1 if needed

Wipqozn

@JohnoBoy They can not. The idea is to tag it with problems specifics to the psone-classics from the PSN network.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Yeah, in this case, he's not calling the games classics because he likes them. That's a specific collection of games that can be downloaded from a specific source.

Wipqozn

In case you are unaware, [psone-classics] is the name given to PS1 games you can buy off PSN.

JohnoBoy

I believe psn and ps1 will suffice, but OK. I think it's overtagging

Q: I don't remember all my ME2 choices. Can I look them up somehow?

I played through ME2 rather haphazardly, saving, reloading, and branching games. I'm not sure what choices I made in the savegame I ended up importing, especially with respect to the heretic geth etc. Is there a way, perhaps with some savegame magic, to get a list of the choices I made in ME2?

Q: Can I view the outcomes of decisions from past games?

In Mass Effect 3, quite a few events depend on how decisions from Mass Effect 1 and 2 turned out. The game shows what decisions I made when I imported the save at the beginning, but once I am already playing, is there any way to see or determine what decisions I made in the previous games?

JohnoBoy

@murgatroid99 Agreed

Wipqozn

3:29 PM

@JohnoBoy It's not a question of "will the other tags suffice?" but "IS another tag better?".

agent86

oh god, this apparently exists, disney pay-your-taxes propaganda

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn PSone-classics are special use cases

Wipqozn

Something else to consider is that [psone-classics] is one tag, which would work even without PSN. But PS1 would not ork without PSN.

Q: Can I get more than one Cerberus Escapee?

Completing Mass Effect: Infiltrator once unlocks 1 Cerberus Escapee (according to the Galaxy at War screen), which equates to 40 War Assets inside Mass Effect 3 proper. A New Game+ of Infiltrator unlocks, but it seems to be equivalent to just picking missions from the level selector, as your pro...

Q: Is anything different in a New Game plus?

In Mass Effect: Infiltrator, I finished all of the levels and got the option to start a New Game+, which started the game over with everything I had purchased still available. Is there any difference between doing this and simply replaying each level?

@murgatroid99 I disagree.

they look like two different, although possibly related, questions.

Are these bad subjective/not constructive?

@Wipqozn It looks to me like his question is a subset of "Is there any difference between playing through a New Game+ and just replaying individual levels?"

@murgatroid99 No. His question is exactly what is in the title. He is looking for any method, whether it is related to NG+ or not.
