I used to follow RPS but they update too often so it's hard to follow them. Recently, they chose to be politically correct about women in the gameindustry which I think is complete bullshit. Just a way for them to get pats on their backs from politically correct people. Sites that I check, in order of frequency: 1. FZ 2. This place :D 3. Destructiod I would like some other place to follow that isn't c
They're following Master of Magic to a fault. Keeping squares "because Master of Magic had it" is baad design.... For me the game will be decided on the combatmechanics. Endless retaliations = instant no buy.
[quote who="Rovert10" reply="29" id="3338903"] Quoting Campaigner, reply 28I know from Brads posts that it takes years to create a good gameengine but I don't understand if it's just about "doing it" or if it's trial and error or however it is you do it. I don't seem to understand the question but I'll try answering it. [/quote] I wonder if creating a gameengine is easy but just tedious (like moving crates around in a ware
[quote who="G_Bison" reply="26" id="3338784"] He even admits during the video that it was not optimised yet. You're looking at a very early alpha game in the making... You aren't looking at the grand scheme of things. His game engine alone could be worth millions to other Developers/Publishers because he created it from the ground up, Now, substitute his graphics say something like Sins or Eve online. An entire galaxy
I don't understand what's so good or cool about it. Good graphics where his ship slowly moves through space. Have he done everything himself? The gameengine, the graphicsengine, the physics? He hasn't used a free engine of some sort or gotten permission from Nvidia about using PhysX?
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="33" id="3331226"] The problem of the whole RTS genre is that there is a lot of "real time", some amount of tactics, and very little strategy. It's just memorize build orders, practice their execution, and try to counter enemy units in a simple rps manner. Seeing a lot of rocks on the battlefield? Better start building papers. Lastly, you must be able to manually click all the tactical abilities in time. There, you are done.[/quote] <br
That pre-alhpa video was good. Those infantryunits though, can't stop wondering if it's Master of Magic mechanics at work there! [e digicons]:inlove:[/e]
[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="11" id="3335200"] But if you'll really read what I wrote, I simply stated that the development team knows what we oldtime RPGers like to hear. That's it. Nothing I wrote should lead you to believe I've bought into the PR, because I don't do that. [/quote] I never wrote (or atleast meant) anything about you buying into the PR. Atleast I can't translate what I wrote to mean that.
What is it that you find so much fun in MOBA type games, Pacov? I wonder since I have no interest myself in playing teams against strangers (though many seem to like it).
[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="8" id="3334643"] We're being told it will be faithful to the older titles. We'll see. At least they know where we're coming from. [/quote] I believe the same was said about Fallout 3. Atleast that is what I read on NMA. The end result was....not faithful to the old series. A fansite of Heroes of Might & Magic that I follow are sure to be overjoyed by these news. As for myself, since I have no history with M
All I've seen of some old Might & Magic game was the beginning and that must have been released in the 90'ies. It had this old style which I don't want to play. Dragon Age style would bra great :)
[quote who="bonscott" reply="20" id="3332085"] To read these stories about how someone else in the region can totally screw your city over...I just can't fathom how this is fun. I want to build *my* city the way *I* want it and if it gets screwed it's my fault, not because some doofball wants to be funny and mess my city up. It's the new "griefing". Cements for me even more why I swore off this game (and EA completely) and didn't buy it as a good idea.
You got two networkcoders and they have to code up to 5 games. I've always thought that enabling MP was flippin a switch and setting up players and that doing that would take like 1h. Guess I was wrong [e digicons]:P[/e] Can't one of'em work one day on FE:LH or is more time needed? Tom "trololol" Chick with his "review" of Heart of the Swarm....oh MAN! I've NEVER seen anyone get so much shit for giving a good
I've read that while Call of Duty is a casual FPS compared to Quake and Red Orchestra, League of Legends is a casual MOBA compared to DOTA 2. Whadda ya say about that? Or, why do you play a MOBA which isn't the most skillful? [e digicons];P[/e]
[quote who="Jafo" reply="91" id="3332033"] Quoting Campaigner, reply 90The true way of stopping someone from doing that is through physical force. I soo regret I never did that.... ....and what....Columbine v.2? One hopes you're not imbued with the American gun culture......

[quote who="Jafo" reply="88" id="3331968"] Actually....'being a wimp' was how I won against the bully. I explained that his being twice my size meant I wasn't much of an ego-trip for his 'power'. I made it plain to everyone in earshot exactly how tough he had to be to better me....and like the spider that shrivels up to deny you the trophy....the whole issue fizzled out.

Eight popular games. Just pick'n'choose. Which one did you chose btw?
No I'm talking about Baldurs Gate II. Perhaps I thought it was dragging on due to no text....I remember there was quite some text from all the guys I released though now that I think about it, it may have been one to two minutes of text instead of five ^^
I don't claim to have a perfect memory. On the contrary, I know it only picks up main points or things that stand out. Oh I like reading a bit, but that much right at the beginning.... [e digicons]-_-[/e]
Gotta be one I haven't tried yet. Think I'd go for Torchlight II. Tell me if Action RPGs aren't allowed as choices. RPG to me includes them. I will get the Mass Effect & Dragon Age series at some point and I believe I will like them but I KNOW I will like Torchlight II.
Diablo II [e digicons]:)[/e] Still playing it today. Need to finish Hardcore Hell difficulty in Singleplayer. As for other RPGs I've tried: Icewind Dale - Choosing a party before the game starts was a bit tricky. When I started playing it was snowy and things were still if I remember. Pressed space and the text said "paused". Pressed again and it said "unpaused" (if memory serves). Think I played for 20
The owner and the woman is not related but she is the type that's like: "I think we should do like this [explains]". The owner mostly explains before everyones step what the active player should do and how the zombies will move which in practice gives you one way to do things.... Once, we moved together and he said I should open a door for him. I said I haven't killed anything yet and then he goes: "UH-UH-UH you could have asked if someone wanted to play
