Randomly found a game on youtube recently, which caught my attention...have to say at last, cause lately, i have not seen literally anything, that would make me be like whoa, thats exactly what i want, that is so cool and exciting, just bring it on already! There is Homeworld 3 coming, but that one is like 2 years away probably...and apart of that, nothing. Yesterday i bought CnC Remastered and as i suspected, played it for half an hour and now i have no urge to play again...its pretty in hi-

[quote quoting="post"] But the % of games that involve some sort of social-path spectrum player is sufficient to make me wary of ever wanting to make a game for that genre. [/quote] Is that why we are still not getting new Sins game?

Best game: Sins Rebellion. Followed by Infinite Adventures: Sea of Stars, original CoD: Black Ops, maybe Deserts of Kharak. Cannot recall anything else i played even closely enough to these, so i guess these are my top by far. Dont know about the worst, but i was definitely massively disappointed by the new era of real-time strategy games. I bought Planetary Annihilation, Grey Goo, Act of Aggression, all of them failed me and i regretted buying them. The only one i guess i wou

Its awesome no doubt. But 4000 USD/EUROs is bit too much :-D It will be replaced by 4990x soon...which will probably have again maybe 200MHz more and those CCX modules inside each chiplet are going to be converted into single 8-core module...which will in turn increase performance once again. If i was about to buy, i would probably want to wait for that.

My fav super-units in any RTS are definitely Rebellion Titans, especially Vorastra. Teleporting manta-ray of doom, which can drop phasegates to bring reinforcements and devour enemy fleets. Nothing can beat that, when it comes to awesomeness :-D Coronata and Ragnarov are sexy too, not so keen on the other three, but thanks to their abilities still more interesting than anything from SupComs or Ashes IMO, which generally feel like super-big and super-strong versions of regular units.</

I saw bunch of interesting games so far, but honestly, none of them appealing enough to me to buy. Maybe, just maybe the "12 minutes" game. I would like to see some real-time strategy game....this used to be probably my fav genre, even though the latest crop was kinda meh. Anyway, the only one shown so far is AoE II Remastered, so 20 years old game in better graphics. Aside of that, zero, nada, zilch. Seems like the genre is dead to big companies like EA, Ubi etc... while they seem to

[quote who="ScottTykoski" reply="9" id="3751274"] 3D graphics and a full-on strategy editor are certainly a bridge too far for VGM, but there are several elements from strategy games that we'd like to include. Timmaigh nailed it, actually - when there are so many PC Strategy games that give you awesome modding capabilities, I feel like that creativity itch can be scratched there. The niche we're trying to fill is less about "I have this specific visio

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3751138"] I think once you get into strategy you're entering a very different era. This is more about the 8bit and later 16bit console era rather than being a Unity like studio tool. [/quote] Well, that is the challenge for you. Make strategy creator, which is fairly accesible even to those "B" types of players. Which means "code-wise" - everything is pre-made, things like map editor, rules, units, factions, weapon

I concur; its awesome. Best space opera tv show currently and pretty much since BSG, in my opinion. Although Orville is quite good too, this is even better. I saw all 3 seasons so far and read all the books bar the latest one too.

I have to admit, base building in DOW1 was pretty tedious. Spending bunch of minutes at the start of the match constructing the base, over and over every single match, boooring. The less of this repetitive BS, the better. I suppose at competitive levels its not such an issue, because pro players dont really let the game slip into that phase, where you see fighting one big army against another, more often than not they take their first unit and go on harrasing enemy base...but it

So it took more than 3 months since announcement, but eventually here i go - finally. Cost me 1100 EUROs for one of the cards + about 150 for the PSU, the other card i got as reward for few of my side-jobs instead of money, so it did cost me just my free time. Not that bad, especially given the fact i am gonna use these for work, so they earn me those money back. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/36/17/3617814/7b33a5a1-1fd6-4452-8096-0ffc8242897e.jpg" alt="" widt

I am finally going to have it tomorrow...after almost 2 months of waiting for them to be available around here. Next week possibly another one for some SLI goodness - although all of it for work, not really for gaming. For that purpose i would be all right with my current 1080, the only games i played recently are SCO and Black Ops 4 anyway...both running already at acceptable framerates.

Just wanted to reiterate, what i posted on Friday in the other thread, in case it got overlooked, please look into overall performance of the game. I for one did not run into any crashes or lock-downs, but the game could reaaally get some performance optimization, cause it drops framerate under 30 FPS a lot... mostly during planetary explorations, but even at those "conversation" screens with other aliens.

Congrats. I bought it as well today. Just finished my first gameplay session. BTW, maybe its just me, and maybe if i forced myself to update graphics drivers it would help, but the game runs quite sluggish on my system - which is not exactly too shabby. Granted, its at full details, 4x AA and 3840x1600 (ultrawide) resolution, but the game does not exactly looks like Battlefield (even though it has definitely very nice art style) - to justify framerate dips under 30 FPS while driving a
