[quote quoting="post"] 1. The Magic system should be very fun to work through. Though, the tactical battles are where I imagine magic duels being the funnest. Still, being able to morph the land and change it Populous-style should add a layer of strategic depth that will be very fun. 2. The dynasty system is something we’re all very excited to play around with. I suspect it’ll go through a lot of iterations through the beta as we discover ways to mak

[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="54" id="2480846"] Quoting Melchiz, reply 35 Is this Dances with Wolves, with aliens? NO it's Space Pocahontas! [/quote] I just got back from seeing it. It is a little "Dances with Wolves" and a little "Pocahontas"....in space. I liked it, but I didn't like the ending. You know, it's times like this these forums need spoiler tags. I'd really like to talk about how it ended. Oh well, needless to say,

It depends on the settings within Impulse that you choose. I believe they can be automatic or you can turn them off and update your programs/games manually.

[quote who="davidabc66" reply="5" id="2480503"]There was nothing special about the storyline in TFU, nor was anything else all that amazing, not even the over-hyped physics engine they never shup up about. [/quote] Man, the physics system in the first game was awesome. You must have been playing some other force unleashed :P You're right though, it's definitely a experience for the console unless the PC port is amazing (which it most likely won't be). But for the console

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="2" id="2480328"]It's going to be another console port of another mediocre console game. I doubt many people on these forums are interested in that. What I really want LucasArts to do is make a sequel to Republic Commando, or a new TIE Fighter or X-Wing game. [/quote] Granted I would tend to agree a PC port would probably not be that great, but this I play on my X-Box360. I've got the first Force Unleashed and it's my all time favorite S

No one else is even a little excited about this? Really?

Genius!!! :)

IE Explorer...um 8? Whatever the newest build is.

[quote who="Denryu" reply="50" id="2480184"]Also, @Raven X - I think rather than considering it "giving control" of the node, maybe more of a "I will channel two nodes worth of Fire "energy" to you if you channel two water nodes at me[/quote] Now there's something I didn't think of. You know those screen shots we've seen of the graphics build? Remember how it looks like each node has a colored beam of light heading toward the sky? Maybe if you're channeling energy to another Sovereign

Seems to me "Ninjas" and "Pirates" need to be renamed to something less... awesome?

It looks like the decision to Ban the new AvP game in Australia has been over-turned. That's great news for Aussie gamers. Check out the article Here on Gamespot.

[quote who="Denryu" reply="46" id="2479645"]@Tormy, Hmm I wonder what you read that gave you the idea that one side would require more shards to cast high tier spells than another side, or if that is just an idea that you are throwing out there. I see what you are trying to accomplish and I kind of like the idea, but I am wondering how the 'gamemaster' determines why one side it would take less shards than another side? It's an intriguing idea, mind you, just wondering how it might

[quote quoting="post"](FF3 for us SNES old-timers).[/quote] Man those are some good memories. I remember the day I got FF3 quite vividly in my mind, same with Crono Trigger. Those were probably two of my all time favorite games ever. FF3 was Epic beyond belief, and Crono Trigger had SOOO many endings depending on who was in your party and how you ended the game. It just doesn't get any better then that. For more recent gaming, one city I liked was the ruined Aircraft Carrier o

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="37" id="2479132"]Spells will require control of shards to cast. Which types of shards and how many of them depend on the spell. What we decided not to do is make it so that one sits there and builds up "fire mana" through the course of the game since that basically makes the outcome pre-determined. Seriously, some people need to cool off a bit and wait and see. [/quote] That can be a very fun system, it works for M:TG. I t

[quote who="Sparhawk4242" reply="29" id="2478608"] So Raven you have already answered your question yourself: One damage type but different effects and I definitely believe that this will be in the game... [/quote] Indeed. I got my answer from the other thread. I'm not worried now in the slightest. I knew there would be some kind of flag system for spells types, I just wanted to make sure they'd use it creatively in damage based spells too. Some times a little cla

Looks like a lot of work has been done, and in such a short time since the last beta update too. Well done Stardock :)

[quote who="PurplePaladin" reply="174" id="2478388"]Oh, that would be so great, if any unregistered game had pirates that invaded more and more as the game went on. [/quote] The pirates would figure out a way to remove the pirates :P RELOADED Presents...Remove the Pirates from Elemental V1.0

I've got all the Diablo series, great games. You can't go wrong with those and if you're just now getting into them by the time you run through them all it should be close to the release of Diablo 3. The Force Unleashed is my favorite Star Wars game ever, it seriously kicks a lot of ass but I hear the PC version isn't that great. Get it on X-Box 360 or PS3. Make sure you get the "Ultimate Sith Edition". Soul Calibur 2 is probably my all time favorite fighting game along with S

[quote quoting="post"]I’m going to write more on this later when I’m not so annoyed but I’m REALLY getting tired hearing from game developers who blame piracy for their game’s poor sales. If you make a game for the console demographic, don’t expect to make huge PC sales, okay? Oh, and if you make your game require hardware that only a couple million users have, guess what? You’re not going to sell a lot of units. More later. [/qu

[quote who="lbgsloan" reply="29" id="2477804"] Lazy developers are just doing the same on consoles these days, and it too will eventually cause a backlash as people get sick of the genre. [/quote] Most of the intelligent gamers I know have been sick of the FPS genre since the mid 90's. There are very few shooters these days that have any quality. Lets take an example of a newer FPS that has tried to bring something slightly new into the genre. Borderlands...

I don't think it matters what part of Florida you're from, if you take to the roads on Sunday you're taking your life into your own hands. Those old people go nuts at church time and then for the "early bird" specials....and don't get me started on the damn snow birds. Another of the worst places in Florida to drive is right here in Deland at Stetson College. There's soooo many air head barbie dolls trying to drive their fancy cars that dady bought them but for some reason they can't
