[quote who="Tridus" reply="52" id="3447075"] Maybe. I don't know if they ever fixed it, because the release version was so much worse than vanilla Endless Space that I never really went back.[/quote] Guess I never played it to extent it deserves anyway... When GoG will be selling time to play games? [quote who="Tridus" reply="52" id="3447075"]One of the metacritic user reviews on DIsharmony is mine. I think I was pretty clear in exactly what I didn't like

[quote who="Tridus" reply="52" id="3447085"] Star Citizen is the World of Warcraft equivalent on Kickstarter. It's highly unusual. The success rate for games on Kickstarter is something like 44%, and few of the ones that succeed are raising multi million dollar budgets. It's possible, but it's pretty unlikely.[/quote] Since Kickstarter is part of our society, I guess it falls under all statistical data for our society, including success/failure rate. Still,

[quote who="Tridus" reply="10" id="3447074"] Actually we got an older computer working and just wound up playing Diablo 3. With the new patch it's a much more fun game than it used to be.[/quote] Why you need older computer for D3? [quote who="Tridus" reply="10" id="3447074"] Spawn copies aren't the same thing because they still require two computers, but that would be nice.[/quote] I guess most of us already have 2 PCs, or at least one PC and

Personally I find it ironic, when person who bought Cadillac SUV (sorry, don't know exact name), with most expensive options available, pirate videogames instead of buying them, because he doesn't see the reason pay for "zeroes and ones". Should I say he also try to use cheapest maintenance components for his car, paying more for breakage and repairs at the end. He enjoys the fact he "saved" 20 bucks on some detail, only to pay few grands to repair damages inflicted by unauthorized sp

Elliot, you idiot!

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="2" id="3443592"] Of course, if you wait five years you'll be able to get it on the winter Steam sale for five dollars plus all DLC :3[/quote] Come on, games lose their price pretty swift these days - 2-4 months of grace period to please pre-order public, and those who paid full price, then first discount go, from 10 to 33% (or more, if game has only 74 perfect scores [e digicons]:P[/e] ). Add couple more months - here comes 50% off. 9 mon

And when I tried Disciples 3 upon release, I was disappointed. I mean I thought Gothic 3 was bugged... I've heard most of bugs and issues were solved, but so far I'd rather keep my distance.

[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="10" id="3446101"] I hope the upcoming Nitrous engine (not in GC3) can do for strategy games what the Unreal engine did for FPSes.[/quote] So we got flashy strategies where everything is scripted, where missions are corridor-like and, at the end, we'll get missions with dogs? Eh... We already had Red Alert with dogs. :) [quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="19" id="3446292"]Bottom line for me on AI is i desire a real challenge, th

[quote who="cichlidfan" reply="127" id="3446627"] I love it. "I would not have stolen the game if they had made a demo version" [/quote] You would be laughing, but I know few people who actually do that - they use pirated games as demos. If they like it, they buy legal copy, if they don't, well, no money lost. Because unlike demo, which could be simply vertical slice, having only good moments, full version of game allow you to see game in full. And no

Idea is interesting, but in reality you usually don't stop your factories and reassign all of the workers into "social" (we still talk using dual queue terms) projects' building, and research. Nor you assign "all hands" on a single task, because there is upper threshold or throughput, limiting their productivity. Delay in shifting focus indeed seems like nice idea (as long as it optional for those unwilling to use it), but I agree with DARCA, we already pay maintenance for str

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="137" id="3444104"]We need a game with space age renaissance wig hair styles.[/quote] Yeah, and space age hats to protect our space age wigs from space age potty poured out on the space age streets or space age central aisle on space age space ship. Oh, and don't forget space age traps for space age blood-sucking insects too. :)

[quote who="Borg999" reply="146" id="3445965"]Source? [/quote] He made them. :) There is saying, we live as long as we are remembered. Pick one you like more. :)

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="6" id="3447031"]More like renting a spaceport for money.[/quote] Just spaceport, like currently some countries are lending their airfields to other nations? I think we discussed that or similar thing when we were talking about lending/requesting usage of research/manufacturing cap. Still, don't mind that, but letting your allies/team-mates to plant their base at cost of your land on your planet could be nice. If you can share atmosphere, of course. :)

[quote who="tjashen" reply="9" id="3446034"]Warlords III - Reign Of Heroes/Darklords Rising (don't play it as much these days as it won't work on my Vista machine despite numerout attempts to get it to work, I still have an XP laptop that I use specificallty to play this game when I get the itch).[/quote] Duh, mine stopped working even on XP, dunno why, maybe disk scratched. But I like it very much, sure. [quote who="Chibiabos" reply="15" id="3446102"]M.A.X. (Mechanize

More content is interesting, but seeing many games ruined via addition of "expansions", I'm kinda reluctant toward changes as they may be the very thing that would break game's spine. If course, there are ways to improve it, but I hope those changes could be reverted, "just in case".

IMHO GC is not Tropico, so I barely see any room for El Presidente Soberano avatar flying around planets, improving their performance in GC environment. It could be interesting addition, to have "envoy" ship, probably not carrying supreme ruler, but rather just representing him.

Relax, democracy is the rule of democrats, nothing more.

I got another offer: 50% off for all DLCs for Legendary heroes. If you're interested, post here. Offer (not mine, but Stardock's:)) valid till March 11.

Well, big ships could have a small lab, in addition to sick bay, so after certain hull has been researched, lab module should be built-in into all ships with hulls of that certain size and above. With possible exception of transports - they, like modern trucks, probably will be built around cargo. :)

It could be even more humorous should "evil" nations consider themselves good and their good opponents as evil. So each race would have their own perspective of good/evil bias. Just imagine - "evil "crusaders" from Altarian republic are trying to invade our recently occupied worlds". Or something like that - Stardock writers are far better suited for short funny stories than I am.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="8" id="3446264"]I was visiting my best friend last week and we both went looking for a good hot seat game.

Well, I've finally purchased it, and I must say, after Game dev tycoon this is my best investment into games (Avadon is a sequel, so it doesn't count [e digicons];P[/e] ). and definitely that is the game I've been looking for. Quite relaxing (with disasters turned off), contemplating, precisely what I like. For single-man game it is outstandingly well made, and some bigger companies (with much more shorter names and their own digital distribution system) should take note on how t

What really rubs me wrong way with Logitech is that they remove good products from their stock, replacing them with something... strange instead. And that they don't make fully assymetric mices for us lefties. Though I'm pretty fine with my G5.

And since I dropped University to join the Army, I never studied electromagnetic noise generated by shot.
