I can't remember how many times I have read such prophecies. I think from the rise of the first Xbox - periodically, over a few years, again and again. Sure, many genres have moved to consoles - particularly catering players with shorter attention span. Sure, casual gamers may look no farther than solitaire or farmville on their phones. However: 1) I have yet to see a platform that can run first person shooters besides PC. Sure, you have Halo, you have various "aim

I doubt anyone knew him outside the Slavic parts of Europe (Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Russia maybe), but I think he now receives growing attention thanks to computer games Witcher and Witcher 2. I won't write about the Polish movie adaptation of Witcher, because that was, plainly speaking a disaster. But all the Witcher books are worth reading, especially the earlier short novels. I think he can do short, focused stories much better than epic sagas. However, I wanted to recom

Steam uses custom copy-protection - challenge/response authentication against the server, so it always wants to install its own version of game binaries. That's why patches often come late, because they must be adapted first. AD Civ5 - I was too dismayed at first, but with the latest patches, it's an okay game.

I don't believe FE will be a bad game. I think it will be marvelous, beautiful, deep, innovative, feature-rich, hyper-optimized, and that it will caress us with its excellent and varied gameplay to countless gaming orgasms. Metaphorically speaking, of course...

No refunds, I say! By purchasing the game, you have sealed an eternal and infernal pact and are hereby cursed to sail this ghostship forever...together with the ghosts of other poor owners of Elemental. This be a cursed ship, landlubber, hahahahaaaaargh! At least, there is a lot to do here while waiting for the eternity to pass. Care for a friendly game of Dominions 3? :-)

Yes, because of me. However, I would be interested in playing 1.84 CBM game, so I would sign up. This would be my sixth game, so I can't be considered a newbie anymore (I guess). I would sign up only if ElenaAhova does not mind. If she does, I withdraw my application - and we are even. If she does agree, and she still hates me for what happened in the Elementalists game. she can have her revenge in this game, and that would make us even more even. If she does not hate me, we

Speaking about LordXia's decision, is it final and unshakable? Let me ask you a direct question - is your busy work schedule the true reason of quitting, or are you unsatisfied with the game in some way instead? If it's the latter, there is no point persuading you, because there is no point playing a game you don't enjoy, but if it's the latter, I would try to find some solution that would involve you staying in the game. Would turn time extension to 72 hours help? I myself am

Thank you very much, ElenaAhova, I appreciate it. I don't have anything against you as a person, and I recognize your potential antipathy towards me as a person completely legitimate, and I would also consider your nation's unconditional hostility towards me in any new, fresh game we may meet also absolutely legitimate. However, not every decision is conscious, and I still think that you as Tien Chi in this game would subconsciously play not to win, but to have revenge on me. That, in

I am not okay with this, because the previously created inter-player relationship will be carried over to the game. I would rather see a fresh player that has no sympathy/antipathy with the current players. For obvious reasons - we had rather peaceful relationship with Lord Xia-led Tien Chi, but I doubt that would last in this case. It would be far better if the new player formulated his/her plans and diplomatic agenda without any kind of bias.

[quote who="jshores" reply="17" id="2975042"]Ugh no. It would be impossible to keep up with a game having to sift through the posts from 2 to 3 other games. Is it really a much of a hardship on you?[/quote] 5 globals is indeed a limit. After that, you must overcome some existing global for your spell to succeed (replace the old one). Basically, what counts is the extra levels over the level required to cast the spell - it counts as five gems per level (so if level 7 death mage tries t

The more, the merrier! I am currently sort of tired from a prolonged war with Pangaea, and I will probably have some time off when it ends. However, I deeply love dominions, it's a fantastic game. I don't think Stardock should be mad at people starting games here - after all, we come back, that says something about our feelings to their company. Elemental might not have been the best game ever, but when Fallen Enchantress is released, perhaps we rush to play it instead of Dominions!</

The problem is that the predominant growth and expansion oriented paradigm that prevailed in violent clashes with more peaceful, stable and steady-state societies will now bring a huge disaster on itself via population overshoot, resource depletion and environment destruction. The Animal has eaten all there was to eat, and now is starting to chew its own tail. In other words - the only sustainable, stable systems are those that move in a circle. Pre-industrial, isolationist Japan was

I would say that people are spoiled by today's games. Everything is reversible - injury, affliction, even death. In a real combat you can lose a limb in a second, which leaves you crippled for the rest of your life (if you survive the trauma). Even injuries can take month, even years to heal. I say the culprit is D&D with all the endless potions of healing and scrolls of ressurections, that make an injury just a nuissance.
