Proper matchmaking in online games is difficult to do well, put simply, but recent patent filings by Valve give users a peek behind the curtain at the various data miners at work in establishing the Trust Factor in CS:GO . There is quite a bit of information in these patents that range from 2018 to 2020 , and of course, not all of the point below can be said to contribute to an individual’s Trust Factor, though in reality most probably are to some deg
For my third choice, Beyond Good and Evil (the sequel has been in ‘pre-production’ for two years). The main character, Jade, reminded me of a female Luke Skywalker (pre-Force) in her quest to investigate an alien
The first two points quite literally seem to indicate that more money spent in game on cosmetics translating to being more trustworthy. Perhaps there is some truth to this, as spending real money in a game may dissuade a user from cheating and risking the lose of an account, but it still seems odd without confirmation of that i
So there you have it, the games we would like to most like to see sequels* made for. I guess it’s true that you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. In a perfect world, a developer would see this and say “Hey! That’s a great idea.” But sadly this isn’t a perfect world, so all we can do for now is dream and reminisce. Although all hope isn’t lost, as this year’s E3 is next month, and there is always a possibil
Ryona ambles alone down a dark alley. The shadows around her begin to shift and swirl, and from behind her emerges a cacophony of otherworldly cracking, oozing, and groaning. She turns on a dime, with only a kitchen utensil to defend herself , to be greeted with what can only be described as a sentient orifice with writhing limbs haphazardly connected to its bleeding torso. It twitches and seizes like nothing in nat
Overpass was first introduced in the Winter Offensive update back on December 18, 2013, as the first Counter-Strike map created specifically for competitive play. Despite this fact, the map saw many growing pains upon its release and for once it wasn’t due to being CT-sided. On release, the map appeared to be very T-sided with pros noting how easy it was to gain map control and execute on to the A bomb s
But what she doesn’t know is that this monster is one of her own creation. Her latent masochism has given way to these dark delusions – twisted abominations that are physical manifestations of her own innate desire to be punished by somebody, anyb
A controller won’t give anyone the upper hand. Ditch the controller! The lethargic movements of thumbsticks won’t provide the surefire accuracy to win matches. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the quintessential example of a game that works well with a keyboard and mo
Consequently, players must be mindful of their choices to engage or not to engage with enemy players. Sometimes, it is a better option to let an encounter go if it means that they can regroup with their teammate or get better gear that will prepare them properly for an altercation later. Either way, players should remember that there’s no shame in backing down from fights, as not doing so could result in a premature l
Portal can be used for either peripheral. Since Portal is a first-person game, the intuitive decision would be a keyboard and mouse. However, Affordable CS2 weapon skins since the game doesn’t place players under a time limit and lets them complete it at a relaxing pace, a controller isn’t a bad option eit
The hero even had a shape-shifting dog companion that was a helluva lot more charming and way more awesome than the comparatively socially inept and uncool dogs in Fable 2 and Fallout 3 . I mean, seriously, Square, stop jerking us around with all of this lame Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy VII spin-off crap and get crackin’ on something that used to make you stand out from the crowd of spiky-haired, amnesiac protagoni
Players take control of their anime teen of choice, then get dropped into 5v5 matches on a variety of claustrophobic maps. While trying to defuse bombs, rescue hostages, and secure tactical areas, the girls will hunt each other down with military-grade weaponry. Upon taking a few slugs from a Type-89 or a face full of SuperNova buckshot, your girl loses an article of clothing and becomes instantly immobilized for the rest of the round. Too many losses, and bam – your skintight clothing is gone, and you’ve lost the ma
Naturally, combining the two would only go well. Imagine selecting your hero from the lineup of approximately 10,000 girls in the Senran Kagura series, then picking a lane and farming faceless delinquents alone while your team yells at you to actually contribute to the game. Imagine a base that isn’t a towering ancient, but a giant anime girl whose clothes fly off the more damage you do to her. Imagine how many hats you could buy, except instead of giving your hero more clothing, it just disrobes them even more. It sells its
