Reply to Space Siege Demo Review in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

what is the length of a long RPG nowadays. I read in PC Gamer in the past that the newly RPGs won't be as long as either morrowind or Oblivion. One of the PC gamer editor said it took him 300 plus hours to finish doing everything in Oblivion. I remembered when Morrowind came out, the devs said it will take 500 plus hours to do everything in the game. I tried going through Morrowind's main quest having the strategy guide in front of me for reference, and after one week, i was only ha

@Sibben71 Actually, you can bash your company in public, we don't know what your real name is, and I don't think your compan do either. Besides, SD will not be at liberty to divulge that info, so your opinion is safe with the forums. Wait, how can piracy not affect console. You can always mod your consoles to play pirated games. Every console owner should and ought to know this. If not, then they ought to be told. It is simply not fair that only pc games get to have pira

Forgive me for being naive, what is the advantage of having/creating a bot for you to play for you in World of Warcraft, also, what exactly does that mean in actuality. Does it mean someone cooks up some computer program to literally play the game for that person. Sooo, it will do all the walking, running, fighting, buying items and completing quests, etc, etc. Hence that person do not have to physically sit in front of the computer to play the game. Or is it suppose to automate some functio

@ProzacMann In Toronto, we can take out game software from the library. I am not sure how up to date the list is from our local library. And why don't students take out books from the library. Well..they do. But as far as textbook goes, you can only take a book out 2 weeks at a time, and you need the book for the entire semester and at times the entire year. And every other student in your course needs to use the book too. Soo everyone figured it is cheaper to just xerox

I thought profit for a company is defined after expenses and taxes are taken care of. Soo why is the IRS are allowed to tax the profit margins. Should it not just tax the revenues.

a 20 million dollar company paying annual taxes of 160,000 dollars is a drop in the bucket. well...what is the percentage of 160,000 dollars of 20 milllion dollars. It is like asking a millioniare to pay 8000 dollars in tax in a year.

@SilentMage What is the point of your post anyways???? are you unhappy with the game, or are you bored with it. Or you just want the community to be your sound board for your gaming/personal plight.

Reply to Is E3 Still Worth It? in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I don't understand the question. What aspect of worth it are you referring to? Most of us who are not developers are not able to go to E3. So we don't know what the event feel like in terms of the actual atmosphere and experience. I think many of us has an impression that is is a mix of trade show, festival, and a conference for game developers to show off their latest projects. I used to have a friend who actually went there and told me it was loads of fun. If you are re

Reply to NVIDIA trumpets the death of the CPU in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

The CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) tools within the new line of Nvidia's graphic cards are suppose to assist with intensive computational process that is not graphics related. The thing is many people don't need that type of processing power for their applications. The process that require such computational powers are like computation of matters related to fluid dyamics or astrophysics. But then..if you work in those areas and you really need such intense computational processes

I live near universities, and there are plenty of photocopying shop around. Students flock to there every beginning of a semester to photocopy their textbook. And they photocopy entire texts even though if that text is like 1500 pages. Burning a cd takes few mins, i thought it takes a few hours. I burn cd for my own files, not games, but just documents of a few gigs here and there put together. It takes like few hours. Usually, there are even errors in the burning process, or the

I am sure that in comparison with the publishing (as in books) industry, there are less literary piracy compare with software piracy. I don't have any figures to support this, it is just my impression. The point is...i wonder with photocopiers available, why are not more people photocopying books en masses. We never heard of book publishers losing money, but then we hear a lot about it from game companies. In a lot of technical software, one can't do anything with it publicly wi

Reply to EU to Ban Pirates from the Internet? in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

I am having a feeling that as long as the internet exists, software piracy is going to stay. I am not implying by any means that i am advocating for the position that software piracy is a good thing. What i mean is that...the internet is a virtual world where people can have in a sense upload their existence. This might sound very obvious to many netizens. But a hunddreded years from now, this simple fact will probably be so obvious that it will not even warrant any kind of philsohpical disc
