Ysne58 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Open Cities Reborn is now the front line of defence against a bunch of dickheads on the official forums who are bagging out mods without much of an understanding of them.I don't know how you feel about that Arthmoor' date=' but I'd be proud if it was my mod.[/quote']Thank goodness the thread got locked.

Arthmoor Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm surprised it made it to 9 pages. Honestly, the whole thing was basically butthurt console players griping about PC gamers getting to have mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 So. Never doubt the power of piracy. Pirate copies of Skyrim have begun surfacing already. So, Bethesda, how's that DRM working out for you now? This has to be some kind of record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of theft is usually an inside job either from the manufacturer or one or more of the distributor(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Meh. A week in advance? Not unprecedented. Pretty sure it's happened for any given Call of Duty game, and several others I'm too lazy to look up. Be kind of surprised if it hadn't happened, really.

Arthmoor Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Shows you how out of touch with the piracy scene I am then. Although the nimnulls over on the BGS Steam thread are calling me a liar claiming any pirated copies are fakes. Uh huh. It didn't look fake to me.

Arthmoor Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 And it's gone gold. Massively late IMO as far as these things go, but always a welcome sign. Hope everyone's beasts are ready to rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmoor Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Pirated before the gold announcement was official, yes. Also, I've seen it now and can confirm it's definitely a PC copy of the game and Pete wasn't lying when he said the graphics would melt your face off. Intro spoilers and all.

prettyfly Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Any hints where to find it? I'm perfectly happy to spoil the intro for myself to see what the game looks like on PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 It hasn't shown up yet on Demonoid or Pirate Bay. All I know is you need Tor to access the site. But holy crap, those graphics were the most awesome thing I've seen since Witcher 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettyfly Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I see they have gotten the rain fixed up. I saw the intro video as well (albeit on 360). And the graphics might look terrible on it, but overall I was still pretty impressed, and if anything else I'm left quite firmly believing that we'll get to choose a side in the civil war.

Dallen68 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 On the modder thread (which is now locked):1. Although I think it might be a good idea to at least "try" the game before changing it, so far I have never gotten all the way through a beth game without modding "something".2. The bit about midas/AN/UL improving there respective elements of the game is FACT, not opinion. Even if you do not "like" the changes they make (which would be opinion), they each add between 500m to 2g of new content to the game-that many people wouldn't be giving Samson and Vorians that much HD space if it *wasn't* enhancing their games.3. Kind of related to the map-markers thing-I've always disliked how you *always* start out not knowing *fuck all* about the geography of the land your in. Guess what? I downloaded a mod that changes that :thumbsup: I suspect I'll be doing the same in Skyrim-but probably much later than everyone else.4. Bethesda could just as easily have prohibited changes to their content in the eula; like many companies, in fact, do. The fact that beth does the opposite of this-is proof in and of itself that beth values modders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallen68 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 That is why they have a pre-release: so they can have a patch on release day! Yay! and since it's steam, you won't get to play until the patch is applied. Double-yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettyfly Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 If its of any interest, I just say a video of Skyrim on PS3 (it was only short though). It wasn't high enough quality to tell for absolute certainty, but it looked better than the 360 version to me. Of course, I don't care because I'm using PC.

Arthmoor Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 "Launch sequence has begun."Nope. Not a nuclear strike. Apparently Steam preloads are now underway.And here you go - new engine my foot: Skyrim - Meshes.bsaSkyrim - Misc.bsaSkyrim - Shaders.bsaSkyrim - Voices.bsaSkyrim - VoicesExtra.bsaSkyrim.esmSeems legit: http://i44.tinypic.com/15ga04j.png meaning the first guy didn't have it all yet. That "Update.esm" file is interesting looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
