I don't think 'reinventing the wheel' really has relevance anymore as an analogy. Everyone understands it but it makes no sense. A wheel gets a new tread pattern and thats pretty much it. Games evolve. Some go farther than others. Varying budgets, playstyles, company experience levels, programming languages... It seems more like Stardock went outside their comfort zone and paid the price. I'm sure they've learned from the experience, but if game

[quote who="Bashemgud" reply="14" id="2758052"]DDO is pretty solid. No monthly, can spend as low as 20$ on the game and have access to all the major content. Character customization beats all the generic class crap you find in other MMos. Just saying. [/quote] LOTRO goes free to play on the 10th (the 8th if you owned it previously) and blows DDO out of the water.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="10" id="2758008"] You know the worst thing? I ran into a number of crash bugs and usability issues. I wanted to report them and give dump logs to help them get fixed. I can't. Open beat testers are specifically EXCLUDED from providing feedback on the beta site. There is NO way to provide feedback. It literally is a demo. And a very, very bad one at that.

I couldn't believe it was BitTorrent only. I couldn't believe the game has almost 140,000 files in almost 20,000 folders. I couldn't believe it looked like FF11 with more options. I uninstalled it. I could understand all of this if it was a dev build not meant for public consumption, which obviously it is not.

I don't think I was crashing as much in 1.06 as 1.07, but then, I might not've played all that much of 1.06 o.O sigh Where's 1.08! I WANT IT NAO ;)

Reply to "Syndicate" to make a Comeback :) in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Sir_Linque" reply="37" id="2754630"]I don't really see why Syndicate needs a remake at all. Maybe a Special Edition like the Monkey Island stuff going around. HD Graphics etc, but the same game itself. I really liked the Syndicate games but I don't feel like there's a need for a new one. [/quote] I'm with you. I think people should let sleeping games lie. That's not to say it can't be good, I'm just always for original content over more sequels.

Reply to Why is everyone upset the game came out "early"?!? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

As for me I'm not disappointed about when the game was released or the game itself, but that Stardock didn't recognize it needed more time. I expected better. That said I still like the game a lot and can't wait to see more content added.

[quote who="Gorshmak" reply="2" id="2750802"]I tried running it and didn't get any further than the start-up screen...and a complete freeze of my system...only help was the on/off switch....thought it might have anything to do with XP64 bit only running SP2 and not SP3 as the 32bit version...but if that is not the case...am re-installing now and will post the results...[/quote] XP x64 is based off Windows Server 2003 code, not XP code. So the SP2 is basically SP3 level.

Not that we've been made aware of, at any rate. Maybe someone will pop in here and give us a clue...but Stardock is probably taking a break for a bit.

[quote quoting="post"]I thought the game shipped with a 64-bit version and that it would have installed the 64-bit version automatically since I have Win7 64.

[quote who="DoomBringer90" reply="4" id="2727203"]You might have issues if you only have 2GB of ram. I'm not completely sure, but I think vista eats up most of that on its own, and the minimum system requirements say you should have at least 1 GB free. [/quote] That really isn't true. With the service packs Vista is only slightly above average on resource usage. Not as good as 7 obviously, but perfectly usable.
