IMHO FPS would require rather big budget, or/and relocation to other countries, where workforce will be cheaper, just to cut salary expenses. Doing so probably will require more control over that third party studio, or trusting the studio - knowing they know the universe and can do their job. Add about 12 hours of one way travel required... Not sure kickstarter backing help, or even we, should all of us support the idea with 100$ at least. Wait a second... I think 4A games (Metro seri

It's very slippery path, and I don't even mean cases like Aliens, or, heh, X-Rebirth release for newcomers :). I, for one, wish them all to succeed, because I like genre, but it's hard to believe. May I be wrong and we end with a lot of awesome games, forcing us to

No need to tell me how much upgraded it is, I'll believe in upgrades CD Project Red made to Aurora (NWN1 engine), turning it into beauty, that runs in the heart of Witcher 1. CoD:G
[quote who="Tridus" reply="29" id="3437265"] Seconded. Top notch game, and you can get it for cheap on Steam these days. Highly recommended.[/quote] Supercheap, if you have friend who owns original package, because he will have outstanding discount on "director's cut'.
[quote who="razzafazza" reply="16" id="3437236"]Unlike Master of Magic / Elemental / Age of Wonders where its mostly 20 vs 20 (or even less) or at best 70 vs 70 no really giving those battles a proper "battle" feeling - more like skirmish. a pet peeve of mine i think i ve mentioned already (probably even more than once )[/quote] So you wouldn't like Fantasy Wars "reinforcements" system, where you could add more troops as long as there is space?

[quote]No tech tree. Instead, the available units are based on how you construct your cities.[/quote] So you could train archers much early, but they will require more time to train, while training crossbowmen will take much less time, yet you would need well-developed city (due higher tech requirement)? Just as example.

[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="3" id="3436681"]There will be technology to make uninhabitable planets habitable, I like that. [/quote] Likewise. Some sort of complicated, more expensive habitat domes or something like that, containing certain mini-modules to keep morale high.

I can't say I'm old guard of Stardock fans, but I'm still not graphic-centered person. For me graphic is just a tool, supplementing gameplay and, if necessary, storyline, hense extending "suspense of disbelief" and/or "immersion", if we talk about story-oriented games, where graphic could (actually should) work in way, similar to illustrations in books. Of course I'm not going to criticize game should it have good graphic, but if it's the only thing it have...
[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="33" id="3436994"]I think a good comparison would be the Argonev starbase from Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion, which can single-handedly repel medium-scale assaults, but fails in the face of a late-game armada.[/quote] Tend to agree - base should be able to repel/destroy small harassment fleet of comparable level (since bases are subjects to upgrades) with no problems. Using existing military proportions, we would need attacking fleet to have at le

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="27" id="3437201"] I wish I knew who that was.[/quote] Horatio is race from Endless Space, you should know them already. Adam Jensen is protagonist from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, one of the best games of that year for me, and one of the best games of last few years. I don't throw titles of "OMG, GOTY, 11/10!", so, decide for yourself.
Reminds me of days when I first saw a friend, dealing with probably wolves in Gothic 1 with nothing but a rusty knife. For me, as completely new to the series, that was... a notable deed. Something similar to dealing with boars in Gothic 3 upon release. [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

Candy jam? What's next - bacon jam? Old rubber tires jam - with old brickroad flavour? :D
Yeah, and Asari looked like Syreens from one particular series we all know about, right? :) The whole ME did like it was some LSD-conversion of Star Control... Or, maybe, maple syrop overdose, not LSD.

Hello, everyone. As you can easily guess from my avatar, I'm medium tank T-34 from First Polish Army, personal name "Rudy", tactical name "102" (serial number and date of manufacture are classified), crew of five: Olgierd, Gustlik, Grześ, Janek, Tomek and, of course, Szarik.
