Reply to BioWare Employee Busted in Dragon Age 2 Review Scandal in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="8" id="2906201"] Quoting Darvin3, reply 7This is just another reason why you can't trust scores anymore, you always have to read between the lines of what the reviewer is saying to get a feel of where they're coming from. Reviews from any publication that posts advertisements from publishers is essentially a compromised review... and that's pretty much any publication either in print or the internet. The problem comes when reviewers - who are s

Reply to Peak oil is upon us! in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

Peak Oil is interesting. I love watching documentaries and Peak Oil has come up once. It all looks quite scary but I'm trying to look forward to it. In the western world, we have become comfortable and weak, kinda like the Halfling king in Overlord. After Peak Oil, it will be a darwinistic world where the strong rule and the weak will be culled. And I intend to be one of the strong. But I try not to worry as things will probably work themselves out. We'll find o

Reply to Carmack says Direct3D is better than OpenGL in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

The downside of the best gamingsystem there is, having games developed to run on outdated crap! Like Stardock deciding on Shader Model 2.0(!) when every gamer worth his salt got ATLEST Shader Model 3.0! Myself I got a GTX 570 which supports Shader Model 5.0. (Good luck with seeing any SM 5.0 effects for a few years though!) Oh yeah, that reminds me. Why haven't there been a video by Stardock that shows off Shader Model 4.0 ? (which they said Elementa

Reply to EA Forum Bans stop you from playing games? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

That's just not acceptable. Making them unable to post is one thing but TAKING AWAY ACCESS TO THEIR GAMES??? MADNESS!!! No, not madness. This.is.EA!!! [e digicons];P[/e] This is something that I think the US congress, UN or the EU needs to look at since any separate, small country is too weak to decide in this matter.

Reply to Diablo 3 Tips and Tricks in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

In Diablo II, patch v1.13 fixed Blessed Hammers so they can't damage magicimmunes anymore. Myself I've never finished Hell difficulty in Diablo II OR LoD [e digicons]:S[/e] In Diablo II I remember getting to Hell as lvl 40 a looong time ago and went down to the Den of Evil. Cleaned out the whole cave except for Corpsefire which killed me in like 3-4 hits....tried 5 times then I deleted the character.... I realized later that I was WAAAY to low lvl

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Rethinking land in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="yaromir" reply="32" id="2898407"]I hope to see tile yields or augmentations (like in MoM a mountain tile gave % increase to hammers). Otherwise, as someone astutely pointed out, it is no different from a space game with vast distances of nothing[/quote] This reminds me AGAIN(!) about Brad saying that Elemental would be an evolution of Galactic Civilizations II.... ....It's beyond any doubt then....Elementals base is Galactic

Reply to Steam: A monopoly in the making? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Steams new features are good and wellintended I'm sure, but if someone were to lock his account to his CPU, what would happen if it broke..? I'm sure (or absolutely HOPE) that Valve has thought out something that works.

5. Read a guide on how to win as easy as possible. Then jump out from the balcony since you're so lame Tip #1 will not work since Magic Find (MF) will work differently this time and every character will only find things usable by his own class.

Reply to The Fallen Enchantress Poll in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm an optimist and hope for the best. And if they fail to make a better game than Age of Wonders or Master of Magic this time then the 2nd expansion is their VERY.LAST.CHANCE! (Then Brad will be Eliphas the Inheritor and the Stardock staff the Wordbearers when they lose in Dark Crusade!) "I could care less", does that mean that you care like 25% or does it mean "couldn't care less!" ?

Reply to My own little take on the PC Gamer's top 100 in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

No Worms at all! The original Worms was one of those BIG games that you played 15 years ago and don't forget. It rocked. Now we got Worms Reloaded with braindead A.I that either misses completely or hits perfectly....was that a waste of 20euro.... Company of Heroes gotted a high position atleast :) Nr.34 is good. Dawn of War II gotted Nr.99. That's ok but where is the original Dawn of War?? That g

Reply to Favorite map size? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I must be the only one here who haven't tried the game yet [e digicons]:-"[/e] Since I don't know much about the pacing and stuff I can't really comment on Elemental. But in RTS games I absolutely prefer the smallest maps possible since I want ACTION and not simcity and TBS for 10min. In Age of Wonders MP I would also prefer a small map since you HAVE to be on your toes and be ready ALL the time! You don't know what he's going to do so you have to
