Back in 1999, 2000 and 2001, StarCraft was THE game for me. Played it every day after school and liked it. Actually I liked it so much that I thought that only the successor would be the next big thing in RTS games. All I wanted was the WarCraft III UI and I would be set. Fastforward 8 years and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is here! Not only did I get it 6 months after the release, I also realized that I didn't like it. It was a bit of a slap in the face mo

*YAWN* This game is SO fucking boring when the players cooperate! [e digicons]|-O[/e] Add that it's cooperative and I wanted their kickstarter to FAIL! [e digicons]>:([/e] The few times I played it, the owner and this dominant woman told everybody else what we should do....In practice, it means that your actions are already decided and all you do is roll some fucking dice and move your character! What BULLSHIT is that!!? That'

What's so special with this game compared to Skyrim, Torchlight II and others where you run around in a big world?

I say that AAA titles might be selling less but that is not important to me since I'm not buying them anyway (with very few exceptions). Steam and other DD services are selling great and the indiescene is thriving. Link those articles so we can see if they're valid or not.

Only time I've been exposed to english humor is when I worked in a warehouse and this black guy took something I had in my hands and I just looked at him like: "......?" Then he explained that english (or british, can't remember) humor works in that you take something from someone (can't remember the rest) and then that is funny. I never got it though [e digicons]o_O[/e] Totally correct about people on the internet looking for th

Watched your let's play and it looks boring. It's realtime which would make me nervous of missing to do something. My main complaint is that (just like in Gal Civ II) nothing happens! Ships go back and forth between planets and you sign agreements but it seems like the game plays itself! Clicking a planet and choosing colonize and it handles itself. You don't even have to select what to build! I'm wary of that. The coolest part was the meet

The last few years there has gone inflation in "reimagining of Master of Magic", "our TBS will be like Master of Magic" and such announcements but no one have succeded. I don't think highly of'em considering their trackrecord and they also seem too conservative (making things a certain way "because the original did it!" makes me fear for the worst) but I'll keep an eye on'em.

Ah ok!

Daves story about writing alot on Elemental. Don't got anything to say but felt that people wanted to see this :)

This must be the topic with the most depth and thought I've ever seen on the PC Gaming section [e digicons]:omg:[/e] All I know about the Mass Effect III comlaints (except the ending) is that someone high in the company hired his wife who did a shitty job as a writer and was rightfully scolded for it. Who's the "DR"s ? The failcouple I mentioned above? I wonder if it's true that the internetha

Graphics look horrible. The video on the kickstarter site is just some "Wii Memes" running around....

I've only played some missions in the GalCiv II campaign so I can't evaluate its AI but of the TBS games I've played so far: Age of Wonder trilogy Heroes of Might & Magic II, III, IV and V Disciples II The winner I think is Heroes of Might & Magic III. Basically since all the others are worse. Heroes V fails since (I've read) it bullrushes you on week 3. Heroes II is too simple. Heroes IV i

[quote who="kryo"] Servo is a CM. We wish GPG the best, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions until Chris makes an announcement on where things are headed next.[/quote] What's the point of drawing conclusions AFTER things are sorted?? [e digicons]o_O[/e] You gotta guess and such before they tell how it is.

First it was the "PC gaming is dying" prophecy and we all know how THAT turned out! Total defeat for the prophets. Now it seems to be "RTS games are dying". Well, my answer to that is simply: [video] [/video] <p

True Heavenfall, though this forumpost by one of the devs almost confirms that they've found a publisher or something along that line.

The game on paper sounds like my ideal space TBS. These point particularly: Turnbased strategy with Realtime combat sounds great A blind spot in your point-defense coverage, and you could take a volley of torpedoes that would seriously damage your engines. Powerful close-combat weapons are great when you can get close to the enemy, but will not save you against a fleeing hit-and-run force. Fixed-mounts heavy combat lasers are great if you can aim,

I checked the 15min video and I don't like it [e digicons];P[/e] Provisions Many resources No tactical combat Lowclass graphics and sound (possibility, I don't know how cool animations there will be once they're implemented) All those resources might add depth, I'm not sure, but I'm skeptical. What I don't like though is supplylines and having to keep a tent in proximi

This comes a bit late, but I feel it's important to tell that I appreciate these "lessons" or whatever you want to call them ^^

If what Brad says is true about Chris, then he deserves all the support a gamer can give. However, being nice isn't a recipe for success (I got firsthand experience about that) and I generally don't preorder games anymore. His kickstarter is failing [e digicons]:([/e] 5 days to go and not even HALF the money has

Voted for Master of Magic II but that was before I saw that Age of Wonders III were announced. But I would demand gameplaychanges from the original like fog of war, Age of Wonders II style retaliation rules and if you kill 4XP worth of enemies then that is what you get and it gets spread to all the units participating. I'm possibly the only one here that have never tried either War of Magic nor Fallen Enchantress ^^ No demo, plus I've read so muc

I thought digital sellers weren't saying how they sold so they could pay less taxes. I thought they had to say how many copies they sold but they say a very low number to avoid paying lots in tax. If that's not the case, what is?
