So to sumarise, Online Delivered Games will kill PC Gaming. I can't think of anything that would really change in the grand scheme of things. I mean sure businesses would stop but then thats what happens as technology moves on. I've seen people say that the internet is responsible for the destruction of media and that we should limit the use of the internet to protect it. I say why does the media which has only been around in its modern format for about 50-60 years need

Umm? I'v mapped my controls nicely to my n52 and mouse (needed to put one macro on the mouse for the side button to jump). My only real problem with this game is the sheer lunacy of the enemys spawning. Im only at the 4th heath level but I get a constant stream of rocket armed choppers at the same time as a billions of bullets from the never ending infantry. I've seen infantry spawn directly on the spot where and at the instant I shot the last one too. Its just dumb, walk 20m away fro

Civ 4s rescource system in general was horrible. I don't want that. I want a system where resources THEMSELVES matter, not how to get them to where they need to go. Thats why I play diffrent types of games where the logistics are more important - smaller scale games like X-com (so good!), settlers or Anno. In the large scale stratergy game logistics becomes where are my units, where are my resources and where are my citys. All of which can stretch into the hundreds and each -can- matt

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="124" id="2580345"] Quoting Aractain, reply 123 Clearly if you were going to design a system like that, you setup automation systems. See Anno 1404. The very next line. Read much? if you have everything automated anyway - what is benifit of the micro? You can't be serious. Local vs. global resources = very different strategical and tactical options. Automated or not, you gotta make different choices.

Hellgate as a single player game with coop was still a crap game, never mind PAYING for it lmao. These are the SAME people. The same people that raped yet another Star Trek license for a quick buck.

personally I thought aprils fools were supposed to be beliveable enough to be beliveable but silly enough to be not beliveable, thus stradling the line of "reallllly?". Ya know? Either way, all it has done is made a day worthless in the year for the internet, sites changing thier links, deniing access to features for 'fun'. April fools can go tuck it self in. Good jokes should be viable on anyday.

Blowing shit up. I like where this gameplay trend is going - as a big fan of Crusader games, I really like blowing shit up. Mercs 2 a bit, Sabatour and Red Faction: da big G and Just Be Cause 2 all have this REALLY fun element (persistent destruction).

LMAO, guys - lmao. C&C4 single player is build 5 units and upgraded them then push to the object and tadah! Skirmish is a constant never end loop-de-loop of control points. All the fun of this game was ripped out in favour of the 5 minuet multimatch. Is this really what PC gamers want? Console games? Is this what people were asking for? Dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. :( Eaxactly what I expected, after C&C3. But RIP SupCom - you wil
