If StarDock has shelf space for the Gold version. They should re-release it as a Platinum version including the 2 add-ons ... They should offer it at the StarDock as a CD offer without the digital download too.

Reply to Will America always be a superpower? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

I would say the real people that have all the power aren't the United States, USSR, England or even China ... It's the people that own big business. The people that own ExxonMobil, BP, Shell and OPEC ... Big business control things and they will for a very long time ...

Reply to Why PC Gaming is Dying in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Alfonse [quote] The primary reason console games sell more than most PC games is this fact: they just work. [/quote] I agree with you, some people just want it to work ... That's it ... if it doesn't work ... send it back ... I just purchase a new HP laptop because the prices are low ... As soon as I started it up ... It has a lot of crappy apps and a lot of trial ware software installed... Also, I'm not a big fan of Norton AV software ... :(

I would say the people playing the PC games are changing. I still have my first PC and the games I played them on. It's a Tandy 1000EX with a windows 1.0 ... It's old and still works too. The only PC game that required me to upgrade was iDs Quake .. I upgraded to a faster Intel processor and a 3DFX 3d graphics card. Right now ... I prefer RTS games over FPS ... My other bad habit is upgrading my PC ... New graphics cards ... CPUs .. more memory an stuf

Reply to Is PC games getting less popular or dying in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I agree with cvearl, PC games are still popular and will continue for years to come. Right now PC hardware is getting better every 6 months. Right now you can get CPUs with 4 cores and get video cards that can be configured for SLi or Crossfire. The chipsets are getting better too. The only thing that is slowly moving is hard drive tech. The size is "OK" , but their should be drives that should be running at 10,000 or 15,0000 rpm with a transf

Reply to PC game piracy hurts us all in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I'm a average gamer and I prefer buying my games in a CD format. Right now, I'm trying something new. I purchased a few games from Stardock. Back to the topic .. DRM games have there good points and bad ones. Right now most gamers have internet access and a lot have broadband too. The software makers should force the the user to login to install the software product. It should be a two part installation process. A purchased CD with key or a downloaded installer wit

I just updated to a ATI Sapphire HD3850 on my new system. I ran the new video card for maybe 20 minutes ... an it had a melt down ... :SNIFF!: I had to get a RMA number and send it back. I sent if back and they where going to send me a replacement, but that part number was discontinued. Right now I'm using my spare Nvidia 7600 card .. I plan on getting a Asus or try a new Sapphire again. Most likely it's going to be a HD 3870 X2, what try still up in the air .

Reply to What's your favorite Star Trek episode? (any series) in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I'm a star trek fan.. I prefer the original Star Trek series. I like the Mirror episode too. Also, there was a episode about 2 planets waging war for a few 100 years and the computers running it. I'm not sure what it was called. On a side note, I'm a big fan of Space 1999 and UFO series. Also, the last star trek series called Enterprise was a real let down. The only series that didn't make the seven year mark.

Reply to Starcraft: Is it over rated? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

[quote] How many other games from 1998 are still played today? very very very few.. to have survived for this long shows its a game worth making a sequal out of [/quote] I like SC, but haven't played it in years. I also, prefer Enemy Nations too. The game is still around and its free too. I would like to see Windward Studios make a remake of the game, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
