@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, my excitement doesn't have too much to do with the trailer and lots to do with the developers track record and the source material.
The title pretty much says it all. If someone gave me a game, and I opened it for a few minutes to take a gander, can I still trade it to someone else? Or is it forever mine? For example, if someone were to gift me a copy of DotA 2 (not that I don't like DotA, it's just an example), and I opened ...

In two player/etc I'll often accidentally press X to select my character, when to pick an explicit palette from a list you need to press Start (otherwise a palette is mapped to whatever button you press and you get that one). Is there any way to cancel out of this palette choice so I can choose a...
In the command list menu several attacks, particularly supers, use "P" as a command. But there's no P button. There's HP, MP and LP for high/medium/low punches, but P doesn't seem to mean "any punch" either.
What's do I need to input to match "P" in attack commands?
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that one yet. Like... It strikes me as an old SNES style RPG. But it's South Park, so my interest automatically lessens. =(
@Fluttershy Yeah, so I find that game really hard to blame them for. If you still think other titles were unacceptable, that's your prerogative, but KOTOR 2 was basically bug free, it was just totally unfinished, and totally not on them as devs.
@LessPop_MoreFizz A valid point. As for New Vegas, I loved the game. But repeated issues with bugs that had been known for months after release, and no indication of attempts to fix said bugs, was annoying. It put a bit of a damper on Obsidian for me.
On the plus side, they aren't SK. So they have that going for them.
@Fluttershy They fixed a lot of bugs, but a lot of them were the unfixable result of trying to do too much with a pretty terrible engine in Gamebryo. I just find it kind of odd that NV gets as much hate as it does for bugs when FO 3, Skyrim, and Oblivion were all pretty equally buggy in my experience.
Now, if that amount of buggy is unacceptable to you, that's cool. But I find singing out NV on that front to be odd.
I ran into more issues with Skyrim in particular than I ever did in New Vegas.
@LessPop_MoreFizz The only issue I remember running into with Skyrim was the occasional dragon not giving me a soul. But, it's probably fair to say I just had poor luck with my New Vegas experience. I really enjoyed the game. I just hated having to restart my Xbox every time I loaded a new zone.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I know! I'm willing to concede that I just had poor luck. =P Also, Alpha Protocol had so much promise, but I hated it, and Dungeon Seige 3 was crap. I did back Project Eternity, though. I know Obsidian can make good games. I just haven't liked much of their more recent offerings.
@fbueckert You could always play KOTOR 3 (AKA, that MMO that isn't a very good MMO, but does have a pretty good campaign up to max level at least twice.)
@Fluttershy DS3 was pretty bad, but I didn't expect much - after all, I didn't like the first 2 either. Alpha Protocol I've been meaning to play forever, but just haven't gotten around to picking up.
@fbueckert While this is true, this goes back to my point about ignoring the fact that it is an MMO. If you basically play it as a single player game, finish the main plot and then uninstall, you really don't feel the ill effects of the terrible terrible f2p system and it is basically just KOTOR 3 with a pretty poorly suited UI and an annoying chat window full of spam.
In Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns, you have to decide between, well, two towns. The town of Bluebell believes livestock is the heart of farming. Konohana, on the other hand, thinks growing crops is the most important.
Clearly they are both right, and should put aside their differences to work...
@StrixVaria Where else would it go? Also, it's a game that's played on a computer that isn't derived from a physical game. I think that fits well with us.
@MBraedley "Where else would it go?" Who cares? If it's on topic for here, that's fine. If it's off topic for here, then it's not our job to find a place for it.
@StrixVaria You're oversimplifying my point. It's clearly on topic here, and it's probably on topic at RPG. I don't know the second for sure, though. That said, when a question is on topic at two sites, it is up to the communities to determine which is the better fit.
@MBraedley I have literally no opinion on Conclave. I am only arguing about policy-setting procedure. It can be on topic at both, or off topic at both. Setting on-topic-ness at either one should be something done independent of the decision made at the other.
You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool th...
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I found out that you can use a regex in the Inspector Console search the other day when trying to find something in the minified PageDown code to set a breakpoint on, heh.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It was rather amusing for the first few seconds where I didn't realize why it wasn't finding the literal regex I had intended to find.
As mentioned, the issue here is catastrophic backtracking on that huge data string. I think addressing this in the general case may be a bit difficult (with the obvious solution being not to shove that much code into a single block), since unfortunately we're playing with fire here.
That said, i...
I should run the MarkdownSharp test cases against my modified regexes to make sure there's not anything wrong with them. If not, they do seem to perform significantly better.
The problem with open world sandbox games is that the more you win, the more boring the world gets. (I think I'm the only person in the world that really enjoyed Far Cry 2's respawning outposts).

Anybody who has tried defeating the deity AI in a domination game is aware of the challenge they are undertaking. Personally, I have found it to be extremely frustrating, and there are times when I screamed at my monitor because of how insane the AI is.
For example:

Since a varkid adult morph pod gives you 1000ish XP, is it a recommended way to level up quickly?

I recently started playing battle or wesnoth and i completed the mission with meremirmu within the time limit (last turn) so that the white mage will join me. Miremirmu even tells me that he will join my team and I was exited to see him in the next mission. Yet when the mission starts he is nowhe...
I've seen a lot of penetration items but not too much items with reduction. Since you can't penetrate below 0 how often it occurs (and how) that you reduce someone's magic resist / armor below 0? With which champions?
I have started playing Civ 5 with a group of friends. We play LAN and in teams of two.
There are some obvious things to avoid, like both players on a team focusing on religion or both aiming for a diplomatic victory, but what else do you need to keep in mind?
I have a big problem with Battle.net. I play Starcraft 2 (Heart of the swarm) and I travel a lot (from San Jose all the way up to San Diego), sometimes even within days. I would still like to continue playing starcraft but everytime I come down I get my account locked for suspicious activity. And...
In Borderlands II, some grenades split after being thrown into multiple smaller grenades.
Say if the initial grenade had a Homing property, would the smaller grenades also home to nearby enemies after they spawned or is it only the first grenade that homes to enemies?
In my account on dragonvale it won't let me breed my sun dragon with my blue moon dragon. Does anybody know if I need the epic breeding cave because I have been waiting for over 156 hours for both of these dragons to hatch and it SUCKS that I can't breed them. Can anyone else help me answer my qu...
