Reply to Microsoft= Epic Win in Everything Else Sins Forums

The reason why I flame the 360 is because it is a POS quality wise(It's gotten better, but it took them years to do it and, well, the damage has already been done to its rep). MS cheaped out on its manufacturing to beat Sony to the market. (Which was pointless, since the PS3 was delayed) More ironic is the fact the Wii is beating both of them. If MS's next console is plagued by the 360's problems, then I will write them off as a decent console maker. I'm very close to

Reply to Are the single player and online multiplayer parts of the game essentially completely different games? Which one offers the greater challenge, the most suspense, and the most intensity? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The reasons why I don't play Sins online; 1. Games are far too short. I like long games on very big maps. 2. In order too make games playable in short amounts of time, I assume you have all speed settings to max, yes? 2a. With all speeds to max this greatly limits their effects on strategy. This also make the game rather dull. 3. I absolutely hate games that require 'correct' build orders in order to win. This ten
