Reply to Gamespot’s disgraceful Ashes of the Singularity review in PC Gaming AshesoftheSingularity Forums

A solid rebuttal to a ridiculous review, but we all knew a review of this quality was in the works when you notified Gamespot of the conflict of interest with their reviewer weeks before they ever made the review and Gamespot did nothing about it. The reviewer doesn't like you personally, therefore your game is bad. Gamespot apparently cares so little about their credibility that they are okay with this, but why would they care if gamers think they lack credibility? Gamers are

I'd love to be able to skip the animations as well. Or just speed them up to 10x or so, so I can see where numbers are going but don't have to wait.

Guess what, omni? Your vote counts as much as a burger flipper, and no matter how well you understand the principles of government, your well-reasoned arguments are going to be drowned out in a chorus of demands for bread and circuses. Imagine you're riding on a bus, trying to go from point A to point B. You know how to get there because you have specialized training that tells you. Sharing this bus with you are 60 other people who also want to get from point A to po

If you want autists to play that are already hard core gamers, not offending them wouldn't hurt, and don't call them 'Klingons'.

I'm sorry to hear this. Best of luck in the future to those who were let go, and hopefully Stardock can recover enough to bring them back on board when they start another project.

So "girls" is an unacceptable term, now? Seriously? You go on insisting on calling them "females" and I'll go on thinking you sound like a Klingon with Asperger's.

[quote who="Shrap123" reply="27" id="2755558"]This isn't a Medieval Knight Combat simulator (Buy Mount & Blade: Warbands if you want that(great game)). [/quote] You threw me off when you mentioned you wanted "something a little bit more realistic" than the chainmail bikini. More realism = man armor. Perhaps you could rephrase your request somehow, more along the lines of "I want tits on a knight."

Putting boobs on a breastplate is unnecessary since you can strap them down pretty well, and women certainly would do that before fighting. Adding boobs to armor adds weight and deflects blows towards the sternum. It's a bad idea. Realistic armor for women looks like armor for men. If you want something sexy, well, you're on the Internet. Go find it.

Reply to What is it about THIS game that's so important? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I think you're wrong to assume that people have a lot of faith in the game due to some sort of denial or unwillingness to deal with the possibility that it won't be the sort of game we think it can be. I think it will be improved upon because Stardock supports their games and has a track record of big improvements post-release. It's not that worlds hang in the balance; it's just an expectation based on past performance.

I think it's really, really weird that armor is linked to weapons. Two weapon lines, in particular.

Any time an attack does 0 damage after armor, it's listed as a miss. Staff wielders will miss a lot against just about everything with any sort of armor.

Reply to Elemental: What features are holding you back in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Yeah, 1-N is freaking awful for single dice rolls. It wouldn't be quite so bad if calculations were more like 1-N for each of the twelve guys in a squad, but even that is pretty bad when you consider that a single bad defense roll can kill your sovereign and end your game right there. A lot of people are asking for special abilities. I don't think the game needs them. I think the game needs better balance with weapons, armor and unit training and a smarter AI, and it
