Reply to Gamestop, Impulse and Stardock in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="154" id="2917157"] I am not in the Steam hating group, but I do not use it. For me it is mostly that I found Impulse to be a better client, as Steam annoyed me. And they have lost my account since I stopped playing the one game I had from them.[/quote] Impulse client is pretty crappy, actually. It's "better" just in the sense that's optional and you don't have to run it to play a game, after the first installation... but when it comes to co

Reply to ...And that's why retailers ranting about Steam is a joke in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Steam has very FEW exclusive titles. What you people are ranting about, mostly, are titles with Steamworks integrated, which is a very different topic. Beside, I really can't say I have nothing against Steamworks. It works great and it's available for developers, which Impulse Reactor is not.

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="29" id="2830629"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 28Hey, people are allowed to have their own opinion, even if it seems like bat-shit crazy hyperbole. I personally would take a Bethesda, Bioware, or Obsidian game over just about any other developer, including Stardock. I don't even know who did the Witcher, I've been meaning to pick it up, it looks good and all, when it gets really cheap, I might pick it up. Granted, however there's a difference betwee

No one is saying all games are wonderful. Anyway, sure they aren't good or bad cause of a choice about their art style. Honestly it's not our fault if you keep making stupid, shallow statements which are mostly untrue.

[quote who="Nack210" reply="16" id="2767589"]Nah, the style Elemental has isn't cartoony. They don't have huge sized shoulderpads like in WoW, or exaggerated anatomy like in other MMOs, or Fable.

Reply to Remember when all PC games were buggy as hell... in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Yes, I remeber many bugged games. Never been a big deal for me. Despise common whines about this topic, I think bugs are a way too overrated issue. Many of my all-time favourites were bugged as hell at launch (Ultima saga, X-COM, Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Darklands, Mount & Blade, Space Rangers 2, Battlefield 2, Jagged Alliance, etc) but they still amazing games. I have much more difficulty to for

[quote who="scratchthepitch" reply="68" id="2809192"] On the now locked thread about steam here, you were one of the strongest promoters of this monopoly scam.

You're actually paranoid in an almost-scary way.

Reply to Elemental Poll is up: How do you like the game? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I simply don't. i don't like it at all. There isn't one single feature which makes this game better than Master of Magic or Age of Wonders 2. So its very existence is mostly meaningless.

Reply to For those of you who played the Beta... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It runs BAD. I have a mediocre Intel E6550 with 2 GB RAM and two 8800 GTS in SLI. Well, I can barely run the game in 1680x1050 with AA turned off, experiencing some framerate drop and heavy loading times. With AA on, even just at 2X, framerate drops are huge.

Reply to Fallout: New Vegas will use Steamworks in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I really didn't like Fallout 3 so New Vegas was a "no go" from the start for me. Neverthless, I can't really say I have nothing at all against Steamworks. It sure is ten times better than that huge pile of crap called GFWL. Said that, I was wondering if Stardock, D2D, Gamersgate, etc.. have at least tried to reach an agreement with Valve , about making Steamworks some sort of shared standard, extended to the competing pl
