What people say about Jon sounds bad but I'll give Brad the benefit of the doubt.

[quote who="Emperor_Nero" reply="31" id="2854771"]I bought a game though, not an investment... That is my only problem...[/quote] All games become better after a few patches. Some become MUCH better! Elemental is one of the latter ones. Just play something else in the meantime and come back in a few months time. The game will only get better with time. Myself I haven't gotten it yet (though I've followed it since it was announced) but

[quote who="FadedC" reply="70" id="2854253"] Quoting tetleytea, reply 66These are new times. If you've got a good game, pay the game sites to advertise it and tell the retail outlets to kiss your behind. We aren't quite at the point where that's an option for any major title yet but hopefully it's not too far off.[/quote] There's a certain dragon that doesn't agree with you [e digicons]:P[/e] <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://www.wow

Now we get back to hypeland just like in 2008 and 2009 [e digicons];P[/e] Will be exciting weeks.

[quote who="cfehunter" reply="20" id="2853466"]It seriously worked like that at one point? What the HELL happend? [/quote] The devs had a discussion between them. Brad said that the community wanted camp 2.

Even though Elemental ended up on that dreaded list it gotted the least amount of votes! That way we can say that atleast Elemental is the best of the disappointments this year [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I'm glad GameSpot will be making the decisions on most disappointing game, instead of some of the fanboys here (who are trying to appear to have a non-biased point of view by saying Elemental was a little disappointing but every other game released this year is horrible). Civ 5? SC2? Perhaps not classics, but... Just wow people. SC2 is also a sol

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="11" id="2850220"]In summary, buy it but don't play it.[/quote] [quote who="tetleytea" reply="21" id="2850354"]These reviews are too lukewarm for me. I'm going into Dragon Age now--no lukewarm reviews there.[/quote] [quote who="Nenjin" reply="25" id="2850478"] Quoting Sythion, reply 16People who "play for fun" and don't actually try to do well enjoy Elemental. People who like games instead of imagination boosters don't.

[quote who="luketan" reply="15" id="2848021"] Now here's a funny question. For the guys who agree with Recnelis2 , please answer the following questions 1. Have you played Galactic Civilizations 2?.. If so.. please also name expansion packs if any you played 2. Did you find it boring? I have a hunch, people who agree with Recnelis either didn't play Gal civ2.. or found it average to boring....

As a competetive player (particulary of RTS), I understand the importance of balance. I also believe you should be able to do early attacks. The reason they are so effective in Elemental is because the game is designflawed. You couldn't rush A.I in Master of Magic on a challenging difficulty lvl. Norr could you in Age of Wonders (any of'em). But in Elemental....[e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] Needing siegetec

You shouldn't walk around with your Sovereign like that. You paid the price for it. Makes me more certain they should have designed the Sovereigns like Master of Magics and Age of Wonders: Shadow Magics Wizards.

[quote who="jereome" reply="34" id="2837981"]I would personally like to see the ability to request reinforcements from allies and the ability to coordinate attacks on a specific target. On a side note it would also be nice to have espionage in the game. I really loved that aspect of games such as Romance of the three kingdoms, Masters of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. Some options could be: 1. False flag - Attack an enemy but disquise yourself as another fa

GameReplays.org is where I used to hang out until August last year when I ran into a complete dick in the StarCraft II section. I just don't want to put up with such arrogant, elitist people so I just quit that place. I'm thinking of returning though but I feel flamewars to be a bit childish.

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="22" id="2837742"] If the definition of rape gets expanded to include "not informing partners about a lack of proper condom", rape will cease to be a meaningful term for brutally forcing yourself on someone in a sexually abusive manner.[/quote] It ceased to mean "brutally enforcing yourself on someone in a sexually abusive manner" several years ago. The media constantly "warns" about "homerapes" and that that type of "rape" is so a

The problem is that he admitted to having unprotected sex with several of these women. Which, under Sweden's laws, could very well constitute rape, even if it was consensual. I'm Swedish and I've NEVER heard of that. It would be news to me if that was true. It would also mean that me and a chick I met two years ago are rapists [e digicons]8O[/e] The closest l

[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="161" id="2837269"]Well if achievements are that important to you then I suppose great for you. Rmember though, that Steam reserves the right to remove the games you bought from your account at any moment, without telling you why. It's in their EULA. That's their standard.[/quote] So the games will be *gone*? Not even offline mode like if you're banned from the onlineportion of a game like Battlefield where you can still pla

The question is: How do you resist buying from them? As long as they have their special sales and achievements I'm buying. I bought Puzzle Quest II from Steam because of the achievements and their big community. I'm gonna buy Defense Grid from them as well because of the achievements. Impulse got Defence Grid Gold but their version don't got any achievements and can't be imported into Steam either. The version at GameStop also can't be imported into Steam so I d

Nice journal! [e digicons]:)[/e] I've read before that that's how it's done but this was a detailed way of saying it. Looking forward to see what those big announcements are. And especially to what the highlvl goals in the expansion are.

The Elder Scrolls is one of those game series which I've never played. But scaling alone make me hostile to it. If you've played Puzzle Quest then you know what I mean. Lvl 21 rats with 120hp (though it's not horrible since you can avoid monsters that are lower lvl than your mount). I'm definetly gonna try Oblivion though.

[quote quoting="post"] Got a lot of good stuff going on this week in terms of development. But it’s also a very stressful time as we watch retailer after retailer tell us that they’re eliminating much of their PC gaming space starting 1Q2011. I wish the reason was because everything’s moving to digital. But as much as Steam and Impulse and the others have grown this past year, the real issue is the continuing migration of users to other platforms followed by the

Looks good. I'm however hellbent on the spellcolors in Magic The Gathering and Master of Magic so anything else than that seems not as good. Might be wrong....
