[quote]By the time games really do take advantage of quads, your chip is going to be out-of-date. [/quote] By the time the average PC gamer have quad cores in his rig and make it viable for developers to spend all the money required to fully exploit the quad's capabilities, I will be a grandfather. And I don't have kids right now.
[quote]It's also funny and interesting that most of the reviews for these games begin with: "Judging from the letters we receive (and from the discussions we have with each other at the office), there's a sizable contingent of gamers out there who are really hungering for classic space combat games. Games like Wing Commander, TIE Fighter, Freespace, Independence War, and others still have thriving communities despite their age." You listening, IronClad?!?[/quote] None of those games s
[quote who="EamonKallen" reply="7" id="1950501"]I think the rebooted effect of the Star Trek trailer is good for it. I'm not a Trekkie at ALL, in fact I avoid watching Star Trek at any cost, but I have to say, this trailer caught my eye. It wasn't campy or painful like Star Trek has always been, and it's less trippy everything actually makes me sort of want to see it. It was much the same way with BSG. Original series sucked. Reboot was awesome. Maybe this Trekkie feared movie will
[quote]Besides which, the psychological impact of buying a huge box and finding a single CD and a small, thin manual inside is pretty damaging. "For all this space," you'd think, "they'd at least try to justify it." That's how I used to feel; cheated of the amount of space I bought, if only subconciously.[/quote] I think the OP was referring particulary to the Collector Editions. Meaning there should be many more things besides a cd case and a manual.
[quote who="Shadow_of_Light" reply="11" id="1948474"]supreme commander 2? ohnoes please let em krink down system requirements this time, im still unable to play supcom 1 & expansion on any map larger then 2 v 2 even with quadcore, 512 video 2048 ram [/quote] I think your quadcore might be the problem, ask around some support forums to see if SupCom run well on a quadcore.

[quote]No, what's ironic is that nobody (or, at least, nobody here) is doing any of that, yet people keep saying that they are.[/quote] Close your eyes and pretend its all a bad dream................thats how you go by, right?
[quote]That's a pretty ridiculous way of looking at it. Is it impossible for you to accept that we might like the new stuff if it were actually good, but we don't see the new stuff as being good? DS9 was new for Trek. It was a very different kind of Trek. Grittier, darker, but there was still a sense of optimism and hope. It didn't focus so much on exploration of places as exploration of people, but the exploration was still there. DS9 is the kind of "different" that I'm
Personally, I do not want to see a (true) Master of Orion 2 sequel. MoO 2 have a special place in my heart, but I want it to remain in that place, I want it to remain a sweet memory. Besides, the game is like 10 years old now, its like two (game) generations ago. I don't want Stardock to pull a necromancy stunt and revive MoO from the dead. I dont want to play a zombie game that will always drag along some cherished but outdated feature/detail. No, I want Stardock an
[quote]I reckon that this will be a bit of a Batman Begins / Casino Royale sort of film - liked by a wider audience but hated by hardcore fans. Basically though they had a choice between something like this or ditching it. The demise of Enterprise shows that 'authentic' ST doesn't have the wide appeal it once had.[/quote] QFT Really I have to wonder, why do (some) ST fans scream for a new star trek film or series, and then take the new film or series and bash it 
[quote]And so what if they release patches, big deal. They should be releasing patches and do not deserve any thanks for doing it. Releasing games with bugs and holes is nothing to be proud of. I can't stand robbing games companies.[/quote] Then why are you here? Shoo....Go away troll.
[quote who="DeadMG" reply="11" id="1928306"]See, the thing is that none of these things actually WORKS. If SecuROM actually stopped piracy dead in it's tracks, I could see the argument. But it doesn't. Spore is one of the most pirated games in history, and forget that 3-install limit. As a publisher, how do you justify spending money on DRM when it simply doesn't work? [/quote] That is a interesting question. AFAIK, the publisher pays money to another company to use its copy prot
[quote]Excuse me? I have every intention of buying all three micro-expansions. Explaining and even defending someone else's view is not the same thing as agreeing[/quote] I think he meant "ignore the trolls", or maybe "dont take the bait". Obviusly you did take the bait.
Just........lol. Uranium 235 you sir are wrong. A rant like this does not belong in a forum, it belongs in a blog in your personal website, that way you don't clog other forums with such a ****** post. You sir are a minority. Accept it, live with it, don't bother the rest of us with your whining. The majority of PC gamers do not view in-game advertising as an unholy plague upon us. The majority of us do not understand your "logic", and after reading the w
[quote who="Nights Edge" reply="14" id="1913392"]Honestly I think you changed to better games. Crysis and Farcry will be eclipsed and forgotten in a few years. Red-Alert 3 I haven't followed so not sure. The other games (if they turn out good) have the potential to be something that people will love intensely and be talking about in ten years' time. [/quote] Talked in ten years time? Does that matter at all? Games I hear about today, a decade or more after their
Damn guys, don't feed the trolls that pop up in the forums from time to time. Just ignore the OP, if anything he already vented his dissapoinment and has moved on.
[quote]Ugh, this should NOT be done. Ever. Halo is a repetitive, boring fps with a cheesy storyline and characters filled with a preteen crowd of brats with no friends and adhd. It's an overplayed over hyped game that's only fun at parties.[/quote] So say the guy posting in a computer space strategy video game's forums. Some would say, a nerd speaking about other nerds
Is it just me or does this sound like paid advertising for war? [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] Anyway, this game wont dethrone WoW, at least not at launch. People hate Wow, but they love it even more. Either people that love the fantasy MMORPG concept will dislike War because it does not bring anything new, or they will hate it because it will not have the same polish as WoW. People expect a WoW 1.5, some even expect a WoW 2.0. <
[quote]I was shocked. He had his there, (the other was at a faraway planet) and was constructing three more. I smashed them all. As it turns out, their Vasari Player had constructued two Kosturas in the confsuing and blew us to bits.[/quote] To be honest, all of you lost the moment you allowed them to build so many super weapons. That said, the TEC player could have delayed their deployment or destroyed them with a rush of spammed scouts with their anti-building abil
[quote] StarCraft only has one thing about it that kept it popular, it's storyline, because all it's other good aspects became common place not too long after, or they became unrealistic in the mind's of gamers Also, think about its units, spaceships fighting with ground units of roughly the same size, people won't buy into that in the second one I doubt that StarCraft 2 will even be able to use its storyline to its advantage, Command and Conquer 3 had a great storylin
[quote]The original argument, and in fact, all subsequent arguments have nothing to do with physical observation whatsoever. I deserve more intelligent discussion.[/quote] Lol, someone is desperate for attention, I was not talking to you there Dr. B, I was responding to danielost post about moving at twice the speed of light.
[quote]Grab the relative simultaneity equation, screw around with it until you get a delta-t' that isn't zero, and pretend you have instant teleportation between the different frames of reference. That will give you an idea of what happens to causality at FTL speeds. You don't even have to do the Lorentz transformation yourself. Just google "special relativity equations". All you have to do is algebra. You can do algebra, right? The accuracy of whatever you caclulate is experimentally ve
[quote]If your analysis doesn't yield the same results as mine (and the rest of the scientific world), you've done something wrong.[/quote] Lol, you are no scientist. A real scientist would know, do not depend on math, use your imagination, imagination is better than math. There a high probability (thats right, probability) that the mathematical equations are incomplete and also a higher probability that any assumptions we make to establish and solve the equations will lead
[quote]For the sake of argument, I'm going to back away from saying that FTL travel is impossible, and instead remind everyone that chronological continuity does not exist in a FTL universe. If you are comfortable with going back in time, than by all means, believe in your dilithium crystal burning, warp-drive toting, phaser firing starships.[/quote] Define Time. What exactly is Time? How do we measure Time? I believe the answer to those question is important for the argument
[quote]they should make them MASSIVE with HUGE GUNS!!! not way too OP, but they should be able to hold there ground against some smaller fleets[/quote] They are massive, especially the Advent's Mothership. I haven't seen huge guns (big turrets) on space ships in a long time, the biggest (most recently) i can remember right now are the hiigaran destroyer's guns in HW2, and they werent huge imo. Still, making any ship bigger would hamper their movement in the gravwell, as
This bill of rights looks great, it would be really good to see standards emerge in the PC gameing industries. But there are two rights there which are a little vague. [quote]2. Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state. 3. Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game’s release. [/quote] Those two should be more specfic, as define what is a "finished state". For some genres,
