[quote who="ThistleChaser" reply="8" id="3333460"] More people in the community means: -more support from the devs -more great mods. -even better game Win win. If you ask me.[/quote] Exactly, but short-sighted mentality doesn't get that. Even if it was almost for everyone for a while, bigger community means more cash for the devs, and that in turn means (usually) more investments into po
I have 4GB of VRAM on my GTX 670. I believe it's a lot of space for foliage, hedges, bushes, scrub, grass, chaparral, thickets and various other vegetal implements of all kinds. I encourage the game to take advantages of my spacious video ram storage.
I too feel a "thank you" is in order. Even though FE did not become my absolute favorite, I am hoping that LH could prove to be more intriguing. Overall, for the money I used to buy Elemental, I have received tremendous value. So thank you very much and best of luck in your present and future endeavours.
There are excellent ways to spend the time you wait... like... playing Natural Selection 2 ;-) I am having an immense fun with the game. Meanwhile, when LH is out, I am looking forward to a pleasant surprise.
[quote who="Teslacrashed" reply="28" id="3330509"] Bought CE edition Heart of the Swarm, haven't opened it. Something is wrong with me. [/quote] Nothing is wrong with you, it's an obsolete, overhyped and mediocre product. Sure it's polished and "competitive", but so is drinking shots till one man falls under the table, it's very competitive, but at the same time, it does not fascinate everyone.

A temporary setback only, I believe, one that will be mended soon.
So, the update is out, what is your opinion - if you still play, that is. I am still amazed by the game, and having a blast playing it, especially now when I passed the steep learning curve needed to become at least passable commander. The gorgeous update is a mixed bag. I really applaud to fixing the skulk movement and hitbox. Babblers are entirely useless and badly implemented, and I cannot understand how a team of devs can put obviously so much work into something so
Gothic 2 Gold. If that burnt, I would take Perihelion.
Skill =/= fast clicking. All the "skill" I have observed in RTS gamers of games like Starcraft depends on wrestling with the horrible interface and limits of the game design. Once again, Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander are games far superior in game design to the obsoleteness that is Starcraft. Autonomous units, large scale of battles, truly 3d battlefield with collisions, etc.
This game is intentionally locked in gaming medieval era, because the Korean competitive teams would go nuts otherwise. Limited 5 item queue? Check. Stupid units needing of babysitting? Check. Lot's of tactical abilities dependent on fast clicking? Check. Inability to zoom? Check. Lack of adjustable, advanced behaviors of units? Check. Games like Supreme Commander or Total Annihilation were m
All the questions concerning sex are calibrated according to American puritanism that seems laughable to most people here in Europe, so you automatically collect many left/liberal points for something that sounds just common sense here (few people here would understand how what happens between consenting adults behind a closed door could possibly be a matter to somebody else, same goes for pre-marital sex, etc). All these questions have a strong medieval scent for people from my country.

I think you all don't understand the present trends. Simcity V is a new, fresh wave of cloud gaming. If you are a corporate executive, you know what I talk about. Clouds are the epitome of success. Clouds.... clouds... can't stop thinking about them. Give your customer nothing but a thin client, so that he cannot steal your precious binaries and run them in violation of your sacred licence. Keep your secrets safe, in your precious cloud. Dictate when, by whom, and how your product is
If PC gaming future has, Yoda does not know. PC gaming present, Yoda enjoys. PC gaming past, Yoda fondly remembers. Economic analysts go to hell, can. Bunch of amusing fakers, all of them are.
There were duels in Romance of 3 Kingdoms games from KOEI, I think, but only as a tactical action in battles. I can't imagine an implementation in FE that would not lead to abuse, especially against the AI.
BruntFCA nailed it. The widening social gap will eventually erode the social contract, resulting first in "cold" civil war (it's already happening, Occupy Wall Street), and then open civil war a.k.a. revolution.
Ha, I knew it! Not EA, but these guys: http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&boardid=1&threadid=139789 They will turn it into a mobile game.
After the unwatchable Bourne films that combined the nonsensical "plot" with killer dose of overused shaky cam, this dreaded crutch of poor film makers invades gaming too. Why do you have crisp textures and high resolution when you subsequently muddle it with fake blurs, shaking, unfocused camera and overuse of effects? Throwing cheap scares to overload the spectator's senses is getting old very fast. But the people seem to swallow the bait again: "Wow, amazing r

Stop drawing attention to the Homeworld IP, or EA buys it and makes it a trading card MMO with thousands of microtransactions.

You can't prepare for everything. The truth is, if something like that happens, most of us will simply die horribly and quickly. Health and skills matter, but so does pure luck. Life was never safe.

Howeworld is not a game that would succeed today. Why? Because it's in real 3D. Remember how you entered coordinates for movement in Homeworld 1, by first inputting horizontal movement, then adding vertical? Not something casual users would do. And how you gonna control it via a gamepad on your trusty console? And all those microscopic letters, and all the numbers, and radar blips? Nono, for today's market, everything has to be big, colorful, stupid and easy. XCOM paved the wa
