Re: Wow. Natural selection DOES kick all kinds of ass...
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Bodybag"]Look here, cock-puppet, I've played Alien Doom. I fucking own AvP. I have played the demo for AvP2 and I am satisfied that I don't need to buy it. And while I'm sure the mod team put forth every effort into making Natural Selection as refreshing and innovative as it possibly could be, it's still a fucking Alien vs Predator rip-off. And while I'm sure it offers a few strokes of originality, NS falls especially short of one of the main elements present in every game it tries to emulate: NOT FUCKING UP MY HALF-LIFE. [/quote] I went to install the Chemical Existence mod last night. I read the readme for CE and it said that I needed the 1.1.1.0 patch. I was at 0.6.0 or something. Anyway, first off, Sierra's "Auto Updater" is incredibly shitty. I tried at least 8 different recommended places to grab the patch and all of them failed. Even the one in Poland. The Greenland one I would understand, because apparently the fucking cavemen over there have descended into anarchy due to how they think Cure Light Wounds should or should not work, but even <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hollywoodreporter/international/brief_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1797381">the fagots</a> are living the high life in Poland. Secondly, the 1.00 version of CE apparently *does not work* -- at least on rigs like mine. It doesn't even get past the "loading" screen. You need to apply a patch to it. Fair enough, except that CE comes with its own Auto Update program and that, too, can't communicate with anything or initiate code downloading. Of the thousands of things substandard about that particular mod, it's nice to know that they reached Sierra-quality when it came to the updater. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! [/quote]
