[quote]But we can agree we disagree I don't think SoC it's a bad game, but it's very far from a masterpiece.[/quote] Yeah, let's try to re-rail this thread [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] and a +1 for being a good debater, a difficult task here on the interwebs where anyone can start a flamewar. Anyway Don, can you summarize your PS1 collection for us so we know not what to suggest?

I don't have time to laugh through the whole list at the moment, but here are my top 2. [quote who="Neoauld" reply="16" id="2323696"]I gave demigod a fair chance, i even give it a go every week or so Heres my comparison with newerth to demigod 1.) Latency. The dev's of demigod are clinging to horrible netcode, and the fact of the matter is demigod has serious internet lag, in almost every game i see 60-100 pings with everyon
Ehh, I'll put Demigod down for other games, even EA games, just played through Crysis, and will certainly be buying Warhead. But when the game promises everything and gives nothing, I let it die.

[quote who="noother10" reply="23" id="2323310"]I find problems dealing with a rook with any melee type. Usually I play EB with all the health/armour/regen bonuses as well as skills for regen, bite and minions. Any non-noob rook cleans me up easy unless I am many levels above them. I end up getting hit with boulder then hammer slammed, then they've been using speed boots/divine and just run me down. If they don't use that, they just spam towers. So a two on two on the tournament lad

The problem is that you're using an onboard chip, and as such have an inherantly weak video card. To avoid buying games that can't be handled again, I recommend you do the following: Press start->run. Type in 'dxdiag' (without the quotes) This lists your hardware specs, ranging from graphics card power, to processor speed, to RAM. Enjoy!
[quote who="Vicente" reply="13" id="2322783"]No it doesn't remain, it only shows you really need to read Don Quixote (you would probably enjoy it with some commentaries about what Cervantes was trying to say and why, it's a very nice book).[/quote] I did read it, and loved it. The summary execution exists for the sole purpose of explaining that one may whip up a one-liner summary of any great work, and make it sound terrible. If you've read any of the other books I listed, you m
[quote who="Vicente" reply="11" id="2322233"] Quoting pseudomelon, reply 10 Don Quixote: Dumb guy thinks he is a knight, does stupid things. As a spanish guy, my head just blew when I read this summary of Don Quixote [/quote] Perhaps that one was in poor taste (more insane than dumb, but yes, putting a bucket on your head as armor is rather insane :P.) But the point remains, I should hope?
One of the nice things about Demigod is that Stardock doesn't mess with invasive DRM. If you need to switch the computer you've installed Demigod on, or maybe just hold a LAN party to introduce it to some friends, you can do it. Many people here appreciate that, including myself [e digicons]:drool:[/e]

[quote who="enginuity" reply="18" id="2322093"]Yea, Stardock is good people. Just bad times with this game. They said they would process the refund. Their policy is a 60 day limit on paypal account refunds and 90 days on regular credit/debit card account refunds. I was getting close to 3 months but didn't hit the limit just yet. I'll just be a little more wary with the next cool online game GPG develops. Who knows, a few months down the road I might sw

[quote who="enginuity" reply="14" id="2321090"]Just tried a 3v3 on with a host near where I live. Still broke. Still no word back. It's been almost 3 months with this problem. I'm pretty much over it. I'm asking for a refund. [/quote] I doubt you can get a refund if you've had it 3 months mate. I know I wouldn't give you one :P

[quote who="Shade" reply="25" id="2319988"] Quoting kitch45, reply 23There is only one way to solve this pointless argument. take it to the demigod arena!!! And then a host disconnects and you get a loss [/quote] I challenge you to a battle to the finish, or more likely, first blood!

I remember when I first heard about SPORE; to someone as obsessed with character/creature-making as I am, it sounded like the perfect game. In fact, it continued to sound like the perfect game until it was released. But due to the nature in which it was released, and the Sims-esque legion of never-ending expansion packs, I have never purchased it, and I likely never will. The fact that it's an EA game is just one more nail in the coffin.
[quote who="Philly0381" reply="5" id="2319642"]There is also the old standby Add and Remove function that comes with Windows. Yeah everyone will say don't use that, find something else. I also have CCleaner. Now a qustion for you, why would you have one partition of your HD with things you don't really want? Just delete them. I know, I had to ask. My experience is if the software comes with an uninstaller, use it. I could be wrong but
I've only had this computer a couple months, and have already maxed out one partition of the hard drive with things I don't really want. I've been told (but never bothered to check) that uninstallers companies put in with their software are inferior to their generic freeware counterparts. Anyone know if this is true?
[quote who="Vicente" reply="9" id="2319070"] For me it's hard to enjoy a game with technical and gameplay flaws that also has a really simple storyline (boy wants to save pretty girl). [/quote]Then, good sir, it is not your game. But to be frank, just about every story on earth has a "really simple storyline", including many of our classics. Ex: Don Quixote: Dumb guy thinks he is a knight, does stupid things. 1984: The man is keeping us down. No Country fo
[quote who="Zyxpsilon" reply="23" id="2319286"] In the end, Zyx, we all die. Not so, says the current generation of environmentalism goals. And their own ongoing quest for a future worth living for but still granted to THEIR precious childrens. [/quote] The "space threat" scenario would only be a danger over tens of thousands of years; we're almost certain to all be dead before anything sizeable strikes Earth.
They announced that anyone having connection difficulties could refund the game during the first few weeks of non-beta sales. It was on Frogboy's posts, I'm fairly sure. You may have somehow slipped through the loop by being a Beta player-- but...Umm..You did buy a beta game, which was before the refund was offered, I believe.
Yes, because clearly if we spend money on looking at rocks in space, humanity can finally reach its goal of living forever. Or we could just raise funding on the search for vast deposits of unicorn blood. In the end, Zyx, we all die. And we have far better ways of killing ourselves than the Universe seems to care to throw at us, for the moment. Furthermore, if we did pump large sums of money into this, you're aware that we still may not se
[quote who="Vicente" reply="7" id="2318961"] SoC is one of the most overrated games ever. It doesn't tell any story, because the whole game is just the sentence "Your next giant victim is..." repeated a lot of times. Appart from repetitive gameplay (only the last Colossus is a nice puzzle, the others are mostly: stay in a special place, something happens, do damage to the Colossus, repeat), horrible basic animations, bad camera, framerate problems,... First game I got an
[quote who="Savaros" reply="21" id="2318971"]i think we should part with the idea of gold bonus, but simply enhancing the statistics by damage healed/mitigated would be nice. i play my Sedna very supportive lately and understand where you are coming from. unlike QOT Sedna doesnt even have a ranged attack, which means that often i might even miss out on assists(it becomes increasingly difficult to target the right demigod for a heal the more there are clustered in one place, avoiding aes/stuns
[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="2" id="2318560"] That would be a valid argument if asteroid searches took a significant amount of resources, which of course they don't. We've spent less on these programs in the last 10 years than we do buying a new aircraft carrier, or lofting one satellite. It's less than a pittance compared to something like social security. A few hundred million dollars, spread over several years (and more importantly, many countries) is a trivial cost compared to
[quote who="JagerJack" reply="18" id="2318502"] Quoting pseudomelon, reply 17The idea would be to slow or stun the enemy long enough to remove your ally from range and/or interrupt their finishing blow. Most stuns also last long enough at max level for a quick TP out. Most stuns/interrupts have either have a limited range(foul grasp, pounce) or a fairly long and noticable cast time(frost nova, mass charm) when compared to ranged skills. The only stuns/interrupts that would be reliab
