I was looking at this; I've wanted a new RPG for a while now, and it was either this or Risen, since Gothic IV seems to have disappointed. I didn't realise it was loaded with DRM, though. Guess I'll wait for them to remove the DRM.
[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="14" id="2821699"]...Or will this be like MW2, where at launch date and the several weeks after it was 10/10 reviews everywhere from your stock mainstream game review sites, and then several months later, they ran articles saying, "The game wasn't that good, honestly, it didnt deserve all that praise."[/quote] Haha, IGN just did an Article wrapping up the best CoD Campaigns ; Modern War
Brad has already confirmed that Stardock primary's income is from it's customisation software, not it's games. They'll be around for quite a while, as they have been for some many, many years.

[quote who="Ozzy38" reply="5" id="2821310"]...I assume it's still pretty active...[/quote] Sure is. The custom map scene is also alive and well, however the vast majority are rather uninspired. The Developers also add additional maps for free through patches, and the game is still receiving some love. A damn good buy, in my opinion.
I suspect it is, Heavenfall, as it would serve the same purpose. Obviously the issues with Launch kind of superceeded the promises made for and to modders - no point is providing avenues for additional content when the base game needed some serious attention. I expect it to be on it's way; be patient.
Haha, I didn't catch that. I came up with a basic spell; Famine. If I had a year to think of something... interesting, I'd have come up with the grand-daddy of all Fantasy Spells.
It appears the world has not had enough of Call of Duty. With close to 7 Millions Copies sold in a single day , Black Ops is all but assured that it's beaten the previous Call of Duty title, Modern Warfare 2, as the fastest selling game of all time. Considering how much negativity Modern Warfare 2, Activision Blizzard and Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, g
We had a community server a while back for a different forum I frequent; all we could do was build, and it was enough to keep us entertained for months . When I heard about the Lego MMO, I thought "Minecraft just got owned". Of course, "Lego Universe" is absolute trash, and Minecraft is freaking awesome. When this is further along in development I'll probably pick up a copy; brilliant stuff.

Sounds a lot like Killing Floor. One of my favourite FPSs.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="9" id="2817536"]As such, if one song is worth $1 to buy, but she left KaZaa on and helped distribute it to 30,000 other people, the actual damage done isn't $1, but $30,000.[/quote] A good point, however this doesn't, and in fact never, entered into the calculation of the fine nor for the crime for which she is to pay it.

Nice. I'm glad to hear that Elemental is going to be the best Elemental it can be, and not a mash-up of ideas from other games borrowed because those games are perceived as 'good'.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="108" id="2816330"]Blizzard doesn't innovate, it refines and polishes. Starcraft was hugely successful, why would they make Starcraft 2 into something else? It plays like Starcraft, and has enough new stuff to make it new. And hey, it's hugely successful. Diablo 3 will also play like Diablo 2, but have enough new stuff to make it new, and will also be hugely successful. How much innovation can there be in Hack & Slash RPGs? Titan Quest has the same features D2
I stumbled upon Desktop Dungeons while being bored one night, and boy did I become addicted to this fast! It's basically a stripped down version of Rogue, obviously using actual graphics, that has been designed to be played in less than 10 minutes. Sounds stupid, until you're saying "just one more
Good luck, Kael.
[quote who="Alstein" reply="123" id="2814898"]...Invasive DRM will disappear by the end of this decade in the PC market, in the markets that prove such DRM isn't profitable. Hopefully the PC market is one of those markets. [/quote] While I'd like to agree with you, I can't.
