  • Also as far as the EULA portion, he cant really get sued for what he is doing as it wont hold up in court, unless he makes profit off of it which directly effects FSS bottom line. there is plenty of texture mods for games I could name, as long as its for personal use/gain and not profit they cant and wont sue him. if that was the case Bethesda would of sued the pants off dozen of modders.

     

    Hmm, right, but wrong. Bethesda released a SDK for modders to use. Meaning that

    1) they're ok with people modding the game

    2) said people won't have to do anything to the original code, textures or any original game material.

    If FSS hasn't done this yet, maybe they don't want their game modded, maybe they plan on releasing one later who knows ? Till then, it's still against the EULA to even tinker with the game (even though you can't get sued for this ).

  • hmmm, k. Let me get this straight. You go ahead and disassemble the game, thus breaking a rule of not only HG:L's but of probably more than 90% of the games out there's EULA. You go and brag about it on the game's official forums and get banned for it. And here you are, complaining that they kicked you out ?

    Am I the only one here to think this guy is delusional ?

    As a matter of fact, when they could have gone further and sued you, you could be grateful that they were so soft on you.

    I won't even go so far as to roll on the floor laughing about your denial of you making nude patches for hellgate, oblivion or VTMB. Whatever you may call it, it IS porn, however soft and high quality it may be. Thus making their reason true, and probably a valid one too, though I haven't read HGL's official forum's terms of use either.

• • Will Jack Emmert screw the pooch? Arguably again?

  • A game with super-travel powers and yet CoX could bore you to tears with missions that wasted your time traveling between zones.
    

    And still, super-travel powers make travelling in CoX far less endearing than in many other MMOGs. I have yet to find an MMO that keeps my attention while I travel at all, though.

     

    And CoX classes are pulled straight out of fantasy MMORPGs even though those classes have NO place in a superhero genre. How many times do you read the Avengers or Justice League and see someone spamming heals?

    A good point, but how many times do you enter a mission and expect to rest for 96 hours to heal those 4 hit points you lost against a mob in any MMO ? There is a time when it comes to making a game that is humanly playable over background realistic.

     

    Perhaps JE has learned that copying everything in fantasy MMORPGs isn't necessary, but I'm less than enthused about Cryptic doing Champions Online. Champions was a superb pen-and-paper system, I have to wonder if they'll remember to use those great game mechanics in their version.

     

    Being irremediably optimistic, I do not doubt, but hope. They said already that they were basing their rules upon this system. Only thing we can hope for is that the transition to something computer-playable won't be too far from the original.
