One other thing about stargate... It often reminds me of RPGs like mass effect or dragon age, where you have small team of 3-4 people with different backgrounds who go on adventuring, using their different skills to face any situation. Stargate SG1 is in the same spirit, you have 4 guys... a military veteran (tactics), a scientist, an archeologist (who serves as the moral compass and diplomat) and the alien who is somewhat familiar with the worlds they are visiting and doubles as a soldi

Looks like the x-com universe is making a comeback! (by the same guys who made Bioshock too) http://www.gamespot.com/news/6258092.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;2

Damn I forgot so many games... Yes I played all the Kotors, multiple times, and loved them all (even with all the bugs and problems). I feel that even mass effect does not come even close to kotor. I mean, AK-47? The huge story spins and revelations? It was really unique. If I ever win a stupid amount of cash, my #1 goal is to make a spiritual successor to tie fighter, which still holds the space combat sim crown. If I win the same, I would make the spiritual successo

Stargate was good. Different but good if you watch it with the right mindset. Its first quality is that it happens right now, in our world. Not 300 years in the future or something, which means you can relate to it more easily. The military aspect, the corrupt politics and secret agencies, the limited / backwards way in which they deal with alien technology. It is humanity making its first steps in space travel and first contact situations, accelerated by the stargate device. All of t

The world will not end in 2012, because I had a vision that I will die at the age of 37, which means the world still exists at least to 2017. (See what I did there?) As for the Mayans, maybe they just ran out of space or got tired or writing? Simply enough, you can't expect them to make a calendar that goes on forever, they had to stop somewhere and so it happens to be 2012... a random, meaningless date.

I played Homeworld of course! I'll add it to the list right away. I played sword of the stars, but I prefered GC2 by far. I played also Spaceforce, rogue universe. But I was disappointed... it was a very bland game, with little attention to details, and a clunky combat system that was not smooth or enjoyable to play. It came so long after Freelancer, and it sounded like having a lot of potential, but it really didn't live up to all the hype. I did not spend much time on i

Hello everybody, I am new to these forums. I really, really, (and I do mean really) love everything and anything that has to do with space conquest and exploration. Movies, books, TV series, games, you name it. However it space games are very rare and far between, we seem to get a "Freelancer" or a Haegemonia / galactic civilization / SoaSe every 5 years or so and they make so little noise in the press that they are easy to miss. A new game called "distant worlds" came out rec

B5 all the way!! Not only it is more "epic" dealing with the politics of an entire galaxy on a regular basis, and more so than in DS9, it also has more "good Sci-fi" episode density. Meaning you will have less "fill up" episodes where they just travel back in time and live in the 70s to play cops (basically they plug in any script from another non scifi show and pretend it is scifi by a trick like travel in time, a dream, or telepathic mental control, etc). B5 is also more foc

Hey I registered on this forum to ask this very question. So if I understand correctly, to have a complete game with all features, I should skip vanilla and entranchement and just play Diplomacy all the time... Thanks!
