Reply to C&C4 to require internet connection for singleplayer in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="Savyg" reply="5" id="2305533"]Yeah. We should make people lose money so they stop making games! That makes so much more sense. Seriously, that is about the worst logic I've ever had to listen to. If you don't want the game, don't buy it, but 'steal it so they change their mind' is not going to work.[/quote] Hey, never said I acted on that logic, did I? Really though, if they're going out of their way to place something on their product that doe

[quote who="Neilo" reply="22" id="2305179"]Buy the game, use the pirate cracks and be done with it..... [/quote] Or just use the pirate cracks and don't give them any more money. Best method of getting their attention is through their wallets after all, only issue is one individual purchase loss won't bother them.

Reply to Half-Life 1 vs Half-Life 2 in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="psychoak" reply="9" id="2301651"]It's a first person shooter though. If you try to claim the guns didn't suck even compared to say... Doom, you're mentally deficient. The first half of the game was about as interesting as watching paint dry if you wanted to blow shit up. The second half is a pretty good game, but those conventional weapons really bite the big one. HL2 on the other hand has some much better weapons, an all around well done game.&n

Note: Most players don't consider the expansions, Opposing Force and Blue Shift, canon. That is, they don't actually fit into the story, since they were developed by Gearbox.That part out of the way.. Story in a nutshell: No player has a confirmed amount of time between Half-Life, and Half-Life 2, however, it is suggested that it has been 20 years by an old Episode One site. In the actual game, Episode One, Dr.Kleiner offers another hint at how long it has been, but it is far

[quote who="Captain_Stuart" reply="1" id="2293680"]Now, I'm not really a big supporter of free updates. Certainly, they're great, but hardly a neccesity. I think the ideal model would be to first have a quality standalone game, which is most important. Then, adding new game ideas and content into an expansion pack sometime later. Meanwhile, patches could have some tiny bit of extra content (a few new maps/objects/whatever depending on the genre) If there is anything radically game-altering, o

[quote who="psychoak" reply="8" id="2288502"] No, and no. I'm whining about a product that is being overcharged for and lapped up by the masses, which will push forward a trend that I think damages the gaming community as a whole. If the gaming community is that stupid, it's self damaging. If the gaming community isn't that stupid, it's self cleaning. Have either a little more faith in the free market, or a little less in humanity. Blaming it on a

They could, if they wanted to, disable every single Steam game in existence.[/quote] In regards to your first point, while true to an extent, this is Stardock's method of discouraging piracy of their products.

I actually just won my first game ever a few minutes..Maybe an hour ago. I hop from game to game, so I lose track of time. Anyway, I tried to take out all the Pirates one last time before finishing off my enemy, that didn't work at all. Then again, I only had..2..3..4..2 or 4 Capital Ships, something around that number, and mainly the basic forces. Ex. Light Frigates, Hoshiko Robotic Crusiers, Pencheron Light Carriers, the J something V Frigates, and that sort of thing. Loved taking o

A Pirating We Shall Go! in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

How often do you guys utilize the pirates to attack the enemy? I've finally had a chance to start playing this game a bit more, and I find it extremely useful to raise the bounty on my enemy when they're about to go on a full-out siege of one of my planets. They stick around for a bit in the gravity well as they charge up the phase jump, but otherwise they normally retreat. Add in Phase Jump Inhibitors, and take a chunk of their forces out as they try to retreat and it's all the more satisfyi

Reply to Sins gets a sweet plug from the A-bomb on Spore DRM protest in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

You're right. Spore itself is fine. It's EA's methods associated with DRM and SecuROM and how long they've been mistreating their customers. It's all been culminating to the bursting point, which is obviously now.

Reply to Sins gets a sweet plug from the A-bomb on Spore DRM protest in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Er..Spartan, what's the deal with the..larger portion of your post? Anyway, I'm considering buying a copy of Sins of a Solar Empire instead of Spore. I've also coated nearly half of the forums, including subforums, for EA's games with threads containing the Gamer's Bill of Rights. I'm suspecting I'll be banned, but perhaps, by some lucky chance, the idea will be conveyed. Long live Stardock!

Reply to Revising the Bill of Rights? in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

It's certainly ironic that you raise this point after a bit of conversation on the EA forums. As I came here just to see if I could see any complaints or bits about the Bill of Rights. I think you're right, that certain ones are too general, and certain ones are too specific. However, I think that while this should be brought to light for Stardock to see, I think we should leave it in their hands to revise it. Suggestions are fine, of course, but the final decision should be theirs to
