I was actualy hoping that Harpo would come in here and say something along the lines of "I give you the hand of peace, capitulate to my desires and you and all your people shall live". Of course BCX would reply with something like "We will never give up our freedom to convert, especially not to the likes of you!" Which would elicit the response "This is madness!" Inevitably requireing "No, THIS. IS. BCXTREME!" *kicks harpo out of thread* But Nooo

Yeah sorry to be the one to inform you but the VAST majority of the 'player base' I.e. the people who bought the game and play it (not the pirates, the demoers, the trade ins) are single player. Even Demigod or as far back as Quake 3 has many single player only types. If they were going to drop a peice, it would be the multiplayer - not the single player. Note: Referes to ALL games not just this one.

EA threw out some pretty crappy DRM on top of Spore, got a lot of flack for it, and then released Sims 3, (shortly after the event), followed by DA and ME2 all with simple disc checks and the options (it's still an option) to grab an online account and get more content for additional moneey. People voted with their wallets, were not silent about their rejection of DRM and guess what, EA i

TR: Legend didn't change the core gameplay at all. They just improved it. Maybe some poeple LIKE horride cameras and stuff but I don't. I like progress, better controls, smoother gameplay, less focus on annoying stuff, more focus on fun stuff. I think many developers forget what 'fun' actualy IS within thier game world. Like the gearbox dudes (did I just say dudes?) saying they realised half way through Borderlands they want the game to be 'fun'.

[quote who="lbgsloan" reply="94" id="2562900"]That article makes it sound like voting with your wallet here is still a loss for the PC community. Voting against such horrendous DRM is not a loss for anyone except Ubisoft; and nobody will shed a tear for them. Even the console community isn't laughing at this, as they know it's only a matter of time before publishers start trying it with them. 360 and Wii game piracy is far more severe than the media would have you believe.[/

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="22" id="2562764"] Quoting Kaltes, reply 20I heard that the game is going to be released on the xbox 360 as well. If so that would explain why so many features were removed. and the toned down visuals. The original SupCom was released on the 360 as well. In fact that is how I had to play it (my computer at the time couldn't handle it, and it was on sale for $10) and I thought it was good, though I'm sure it would be better on a quality computer.<br

Why do you keep saying that "just because" its different it dosn't automatically mean its bad. Who do you tihnk keeps saying its bad because its different? SupCom 2 is, however, bad - not because its different, but because its badly designed. And the name is very important. If Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is a peggel clone, I will be very very annoyed - and yes it will be a crap game because it would be a really crap strategy game. Just like SupCom2 is a crap <s

Having played both Descent and Freespace 1 and 2, I believe that should be obvious to anyone who has played both Descent and Freespace.

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="2" id="2562382"]Descent: Freespace has absolutely nothing at all to do with Descent, aside from sharing a developer (Volition). Therefore it is ineligible to be on the list of "games that were subtitled so they aren't proper sequels", especially because Descent actually got a pair of proper sequels. And Descent: Freespace was actually known as Conflict: Freespace in Europe, so that is another strike against its inclusion on your list.[/quote] <

This thought was running through my head when playing SupCom2. I'm disapointed at this game because I want SupCom 2 to be *THIS* and they gave me *THAT*. Its also unlikely they will go 'backwards' to recapture the original, especially if 2 sells well, so its like Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander have died a death for me. If they called it SupCom: Starcraft Clone I probably still would have bought it, but I would still know they could actually make SupCom 2. (And rememb

Btw the unit limit is not a 'feature'. Its simplly that without a high unit limit you would never be able to DO half the stuff in the original game. The new unit limit is misleading. You can have huge armies but they are all the same so its a linear increase in scale with no effect on gameplay. This also lowers the requirement for textures etc since they are all the same unit rather than 10 times the number (literaly, there is 10 times less units in total). The

I like tactical games like Dow2 and CoH, even starcraft and all the C&Cs. I also like epic games filled with massive scale strategy - games like TA and SupCom (and Sins, and Civ etc). As joasoze says. When I say bugs I mean things not being changed properly. Like a queue system being unresponsive, the 3D transparent buildings being left behind if you can't build a structure. The texture on the side of the engineers track lol. The way an engineer when assisting another engineer wil
