Reply to STALKER Storyline in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I have SoC and love it. Haven't finished it yet, but find the story so far to be good. The real winner for me in this game is the atmosphere and combat model. You can feel the sense of desolation in the zone, an almost survival horror feeling at times. It can be a little hard to get a handle on if your used to running and gunning, because that will get you killed quickly. In combat you need to check your approach. Stay down, use cover, fire in short controlled bursts. The ballistic model is p

Reply to Armada 2526 in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

This game seems to have flown under the radar of a lot of people. I didn't hear about it until seeing posts about it here asking when it was going to be on Impulse. I like it so far and look forward to how it progresses. The Devoloper reminds me a little of SD back when I got into GC2, involved in the community and seemingly committed to furthering the game based on listening to the players.

Reply to FPS Genre: Is It Going Downhill? in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I think a few have been trying to add to the genre. Fallout 3 I thought put some good RPG elements in with FPS gameplay. A few games are kinda doing that now. Use to your only evolvement during the game was to get bigger guns. Which is fun too, I loved the Serious Sam games for that type of style. More open gameplay areas/options Kinda GTAlite style, like FarCry2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I found fun as well. Maybe it's just me, but I still find a lot of fun in even if the genre's improvements as a

Reply to StarLancer in Everything Else Demigod Forums

I still have Starlancer, but don't really remember much about it. I kinda suck at Space/flight Sims for the most part so never put a lot of time into it. I might give it another look once i get a new tuner card(last one died) and get my old systems hooked back up to the PC. DC is still great little machine with a sizeable library of games :)

Reply to Loving Dragon Age Origins in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

Even though there is a couple of little things that are annoying it has an addicting pull. Just can't seem to stop playing it once I get started. Has anyone else had the load times jump way up after it's been running for 8 hours or so?(yea it's that kind of addiction ;) ). The load times will be about 5-10 seconds for the most part, then after a long session they will start to jump up to close to 2 minutes(especially if there is a cutscene after the load). Restarting the game fixes it

Besides I admit I am not as privy to the situation in this particular instance as others here. Not necessarily a knock on Bioware if their explaination and intentions are legitimate.

Reply to This is what is wrong with gaming, and buying games, today. in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

Not long ago this wouldn't even be an issue. Then it was you bought the game and got everything that came with, no seperate piecemeal deal. If some parts weren't quite ready for primetime you'd see them as a small piece of a later full expansion pack. Instead they want to give these tiny bits saying it's DLC to give the illusion of getting something more when in fact they could of just sold Dragon Age:Origins Period, everything included. It almost feels like they had a completely developed ga

I used to be one of those people that collected all the shiny boxes and was proud of my monument to slacking. One day though I looked over at the six, three foot high stacks of game boxes taking up a good portion of space in my computer room and thought "What the hell am I keeping all this crap for?". Hard drive space is cheap and a lot more practical when moving. I have collected a few shelves worth since dumping those, but I have done pretty well in weening myself of all the clutter

Isn't this Blizzard's first major release since Activision's involvement? We already are seeing their money hungry influence expecting people to buy three times for one game. I'll have to wait and see if this will truly be another classic like the blizzard of old, or one of the new rape the customer base for all you can squeeze out of them attitudes some companies are adopting.

Reply to Is Borderlands coming to Impulse? in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

Yes I know the differences, and it was half joking. The fact is though that Steam has the ability to act as it's own DRM since you have to have their client running and be logged into their servers to play it(offline mode is a joke). Depending on the type of SecuROM used that can actually be more restrictive. I'm not really knocking Steam(I have close to 50 games through them), I just think publishers sometimes feel Impulse itself is not enough DRM for them since once the item is installed yo
