I'll definetly pick it up when it goes for 5$ or so. I really like ID Softwares games. The gameplay is always solid in them but I have no desire for it and thus are not ready to spend any considerable money on it. Just checked and there are no STEAM achievements! Man....ok I can give 3$.

Heavenfall is right. I can take my family as an example, they just want things that work. I like to explain in detail about how good a GTX 570 is to an GTX 560Ti and how the models (like MSI TwinFrozr III vs ASUS Direct CU II) compare to eachother but my brother and nephew would just ask me to recommend something and install it for them. They would not (as I always do) ask lots of questions to understand how one model is different to the other, they just want to be spoonfed everything! &
[quote who="Sir_Linque" reply="28" id="3007047"] This one does. Betas are considered demos by many, and after the failure of WoM, they can't afford to not wow everyone with the beta. They need to start FE off with a bang.[/quote] People not understanding cannot be a valid reason. They just need to keep the beta to the prepaying guys and perhaps have a notice about what exactly beta means.
Actually never played it and wasn't my intention of even getting it. The wintersale had Half-Life 1 Anthology at a fantastic discount and getting the pack of Half-Life, Opposing Forces, Blue Shift and TFC was cheaper than getting the Half-Life games individually. So scratch that one from my list
I've got like 10 screenshots and I've never had that problem. Only problem I've ever had is that when I log on, STEAM doesn't realize I'm logged in but after shifting a few tabs it understands.
*Casts Revive Thread * Disappointing that this thread didn't get any better use out of it. So lets try again. It's real simple. You check my list of games and if you want to play one of'em in multiplayer you add me to your list of STEAM friends. If you don't got STEAM running all the time like I do then ask for MSN, Skype etc. You should also make your own list of games (preferrably inserting your own STEAM lib

I knew DOTA and it's clones were popular but I thought people would be put off by the communitys horrible attitude and teamplay in general. Am I the only one who doesn't like teamgames? Pacov - the man with the game(obsession? [e digicons]:P[/e] ). What is it you like so much about League of Legends? Is DOTA II an obvious upgrade for you? What about everybody else that has posted like crazy here?

Bennet Ring is the GameSpy Editor-in-Chief and is also one of the few people who can play the Diablo III beta. He uses the ENTIRE article to speculate how Diablo III would be as a FirstPerson game listing pros and cons. Diablo III is also his very first game with an isometric view. Seems he has only played FirstPerson games before. No need to say that he got massively flamed for his article. I don't see an
I'm certain Brad just doesn't want to hear bad things about his patches. If you constantly get to hear how much your game suck and that the latest patch you made is useless and that people say they're are uninstalling it and throwing the CD out through the window....then you would most probably get a bit sad and noncaring after a while.
First reaction: Why did you put such an announcement in Personal Computing? Talk about Out of Place [e digicons]:moo:[/e] Ok, let's see if I get it: Find woman, force her to do your bidding and you win. OK [e digicons]B)[/e] You say that Fallen Enchantress is 'Epic'. Whatcha mean with that? It doesn't say what it will cost for those of us who haven't bought War of Magic. Guessing 40$ ?

I completely missed that you could slightly see into the neighboring tile. If that's what you mean then cool.
....Not impressive....where is the character (so we know how far out FoW gets removed)? That was my honest reaction when I saw the video. Look, before releasing things you must make sure it doesn't give a negative impression. Show it around internally and have people say what they think. That FoW is NOT fog of war! It's Black Shroud from WarCraft II or Heroes II. I'm sure you know the difference. The leaves
I like it. Exciting. LOVE these parts about the elemscope showing the glow of people and Xander having a shadowy glow instead. I'll try and get the book.

[quote who="Goontrooper" reply="8" id="2998668"] Um...you have never played the game that this forum is for? [/quote] I started following War of Magic since before it was released (I used to read the GalCiv II news) when it was called Not-MoM. I like Age of Wonders and want a successor to it and Master of Magic. Elemental: War of Magic was supposed to be that successor but it fell way short of expectations.</

One of the reasons I like Heroes V so much. Got the whole soundtrack in my phone even. That music is just superb. Haven't played War of Magic but they have to beat Age of Wonders. Can't be that hard. .... Scratch that! The Age of Wonders music and sound are good. I remember them now and it will be quite tough to beat. I don't think Stardock will do that.

Traits that affect stats should not be shown on the Sovs infocard. Like if you take 'Quick' then give the statboost and then it's never seen again. Cause otherwise that would mean that after 7 lvls checking through an enemy Sov would be a bit tiresome. So only checking stats + possible special abilities (like 'Counterattack') is better.

A random event can both aid you and hurt you depending on where it strikes. Some events will probably hurt everybody. But that's besides the point. Yes, we need a game with random events. It's what keeps you alert and adds that extra lvl of excitement. You hav
Brad said a long time ago that the Stardock (games?)teams are (software) enginers. Enginers make practical things that WORK. How they look is unimportant. Designers make the coolestlooking things they can IMAGINE! HOW it works (and if it works AT ALL) is something somebody else has to think about.... Enginers make systems like "+10 to Agility" while designers do things like "ignores damage if hit by a creature with 5 or less damage but it can
