Reply to SP, MP, LAN Level of importance to you in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It really depends. I prefer singleplayer overall, but it greatly depends on the level of complexity. I enjoyed games of Civilization 3 in multiplayer immensly (I have never played Civ4 in MP) but I would never ever even have attempted playing Galactic Civilizations 2 in MP, even if it had had it. I'd pour just about every possible resource into singleplayer, because that's primarily what I play, myself. But if I were a developer that had decided to make a game with multiplayer, it wou

Just to clarify this (I don't have Impulse or just about anything installed at the moment); Can I (as a beta tester, even if I don't have as much time to actually do anything constructive these days) load Impulse up right now, and there'll be an upgrade option somewhere? Because I could totally pre-order one of those, right bloody now.

[quote who="aeortar" reply="43" id="2523305"]That means they're a good thing. The more people "exposed" to videogames, and the larger the audience, the more money there is in videogames, which means companies can make more money producing videogames, in turn leading more companies to produce games/existing companies to produce more, and be able to spend more on producing them, meaning we get a wider selection of games to choose from, as well as more games which have had more money spent on th

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="39" id="2521497"]Casual games don't do anything but pollute the industry. Making crappy games that appeal to a large audience doesn't do anything but expose more stupid people to videogames.

By saying "hundreds of years" you effectively say that they cannot die of old age in the span of a game, but can still choose to kill them off or progress time from a lore perspective.
