[quote who="DethAdder" reply="20" id="2592663"] There is, however, one reviewer who will never overhype a game. His reviews are also quite entertaining. And yes, I am talking about Yahtzee. I do love his reviews, but more for the entertainment than the actual reviewing. After his, and I quote "marriage proposal to Saints Row 2 disguised as a review" He just couldn't be trusted anymore. On PC it had to be one of the worst games I've played in ten years.[/quote] Did you play i

[quote]You like these games, but they do have flaws and are mainly niche products. Even though you would rate them quite highly (here comes the fanboy "It's at least 80 or even 90% how dare you giving this game only 60%!) I think it is fair to give titles like these something around 65-75% meaning "if you like the genre, read the full review" and "if you don't like the genre, don't waste your time reading". Thus the rating would indicate if it's worthwhile for you to spend more time researchi
[quote]Total scum of the earth[/quote] I've seen some 14 year old girls that seem more mature than plenty of 21 year old males I've known, lol, but you are correct. There are some people who never seem to develop any understanding of anyone but one's self.
You trust the asshats and smacktards that review games? Critics are usually arrogant and close minded. I only read gamespy or IGN to see what the console mainstream are up to. The idea of any of these sites actually comeing out with anything worth reading since Fargo left for Blizzard is truly laughable. Gamespot is a giant advertising site with what amounts to advertorials since there is so little content they become "GAME XYZ Good: Graphics Bad: only 3 hot chicks to sleep with Score
[quote who="Shunmaha" reply="9" id="2591909"]Impulse TV isn't anything ultimate. But when you're bored and in need of a new game to play. Watching these videos make you wanna try out these games since they make it look so fun. impulse TV made me buy Civilization 4 Complete edition, and converted me into a civilization fan lol.[/quote] Now we just need impulse TV for other things like, choosing a bride from a russian mail order catalog.

I hope you all have daughters.[/quote] Because all girls are victims, right? /sarcasm I was a 'outsider' in school and didn't go down this path. What a fool I was eh? Anyway, this has to be one of the BEST threads on 'piracy' I've ever read. Because its, like, totally not about
[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="119" id="2590376"] I rather like the cloth world map with the lead figures. Will you keep this graphics mode as an option in the retail release??? please. The cloth map is the "tactical view" of the game. It is the map at max zoom out.[/quote] Strategic, not tactical.
I figured out what was missing, pale red-head glamour models! Get it sorted. Other than that I do really like semi-informal style e.g. no badly written puns.
[quote who="Savyg" reply="33" id="2589254"]Yep. The sad thing is, it kinda works. I wouldn't go to some random place in Asia and expect everyone to speak perfect English [/quote] I would but then I'm english and we expect the half of the world we ruled to speak properly, (that includes parts of the USA btw).

[quote]1425km houses... [/quote] Brad has already brought one of those from all the preorders. Also its quite obvious that most of these games abstract scale.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="2587358"] Quoting arstal, reply 37Expansion material though, right? (It's ok to save some things for an expansion , you guys gotta make $110 off us, not just $50) Well as you know, my jet fuel doesn't pay for itself. [/quote] Don't drink so much of it then!
I read somewhere about how to get rid of that... but I forget where, maybe the tech forum?
That means you have an array with nothing in it (I assume you know this). What did you change that is stored in arrays within the indavidual structure?

I hear you, man. PC Gaming as we know it today is in its twilight. I guess the neigh sayers were actually right. Man, that pic's sooo not funny...lol Oddly enough, every game box shown th

The amount you said men makes this thread very gay (which is not nessesarily a bad thing). Anyway Mancers? Mincers. Ironeers? Metal heads. Altar? Cultists. Capitar? Capacitors. (techys) Tarth? Tarts.

[quote who="ChuckCS" reply="45" id="2586131"]Makes me wonder if this kind of gaming would make the iPad even more useful or tempting. Imaging making an iPad app that allows you to play these games , all you need is an updated version of the iPad with the ability to add a keyboard and mouse or a controller that will allow you to play these games on it. Kinda interesting.[/quote] I don't know what games you play with your iPads but it sounds interesting. An update
What else would they call it? Sever based processing storage and content delivery? SBPSCD dosn't really work.
All your names make me go "exotic sounding fantasy name #654" does this make me tainted or something? Also is the world called elemental? Because that seems a strange name for a planet (or a plane that isnt 'elemental'). Anyway, What kind of resoruce is that guy carrying in his cart? Swords to city C because thats where the barracks are? Or is he moving Beer to city M bcause city R has a slight overproduction for the region and you decided to move
[quote who="ChuckCS" reply="12" id="2585983"]I am still a bit confused over the whole idea of not needing a super computer to play games that require super computers to play them. How would one not need a good video card to play games being streamed from online? I would think one would still need some decent power to play games that are usually very CPU and Video intensive.[/quote] Your using a server who has the horse size wang to do the power but its more like an internet cafe, i.e
[quote]there are patches of living stuff and there are manors, estates, and inns that dot the world but there is no real government in place.[/quote] Sounds like Wales. Without the sheep at least. You do it with dragons here.
Don't forget that the games would be competing on a equal platform, more realistic is that they would include old versions of the game to 'sweeten the deal' or similar to get more sales - exactly like steam and similar do. The big question becomes what is the 'ownership model' because if you pay a sub for the ability to rent something - that would be utterly stupid (for the customer) and any system that comes up with a sub with games tied to it or a non-sbu where you ge
A good business man (or maybe woman if shes hot enough - this is sarcasm; for the stupid amung us) would fill those niche markets I hope. Its just like porn, theres something for everyone - no matter how weird your fetish is. (If you don't have a fetish - or several - see a doctor imediatly). If there is a market, someone will fill it. If there is a need, someone will satisfy it.
You really have to play it for a while to know if it works or not. I can notice the tinyiest little bit of mouse lag and it totaly ruins a game if its important to aim with the mouse precisly.
