Morgoth

Protoss confirmed to be in XCOM: EU "My Life for Aiur!"

I enjoyed that video a lot more, thanks for posting it, Maria. Game looks very pretty actually. The gnomes are also cute. But I'm pretty sure I'll play this with a 360 controller.

Better that than having another abc designer babbling/showing the same boring xyz clone over and over ragain.

Every game is a dumb experience in the end.

Heavy Rain was not all about QTE, that's very unfair. There was also walking, collecting information and picking up stuff in there, too! What, you say that's no gameplay? Then I suppose Planescape Torment and BG etc. had no gameplay either. In other words, who cares. HR was a cool...interactive experience.

Haha the video starts great. Steps into trap "Oh ****!"

Actually...

? 100% = 10/10. At least the percentage gives a more subtle range. What's so difficult about that to grasp?

I can live with that. But the point is, there are no Dwarves! In before Volo.

What's wrong with scoring in percentage? Either way, the music of XCOM.

Neither Sony nor Microsoft have plans to announce Next-Gen consoles at E3 2012. Makes sense, at least for Sony. They have yet to recoup their losses for their expensive toay. MS on the other hand just had the tape out of their processor in December 2011, meaning the hardware is pretty much finalised in 2012. Then somewhere in 2013, they're gonna Blitz-announce the Xbox Next (with Sony having her pants down) and release the console a couple months later in conjunction with a Blitz-marketing campaign, and having some big launch games ready at that time.

...'cause it doesn't always have to be Gloomy.

At least there aren't any Orcs and Dwarves. God I'm so tired of Tolkien-inspired fantasy.

Wei

Commandos 2 and Praetorians were pretty brilliant games, too. The decline really started with Imperial Glory, Commandos 3 and Strike Force. I guess they too chose to go the easy route.

Okay. Still gonna play that bugger though and then complain on these forums here.

Tell me then, were did you find that demo leak? I wanna play it now, too!

Or doing research for his dark and grim game...

You mean, like 23:59 on Sunday today? Or did you actually mean to say next week? Yes, next Tuesday it is.

I stopped playing the Total War series after Rome. Not my type. What's Pyro Studios up these days? Haven't heard of them for eons.

Fair enough. I'm just saying that the Relic I knew is no more. Heck, even Blizzard showed with SCII that they don't have it what it takes anymore. It's a very sad state in the strategy genre. And Ensemble is no more, too. Guess Anno series and XCOM:EU is right now the only hope left to get a decent RTS/Tactical strategy fix.

Don't care about "different" if the end result is a game that is in every way challenge-free (dumbed down) and made for 12 year old boys with all kind of weird sexual fantasies. I'm no WH40K expert, but I always thought this was supposed to be a dark, depressive and gritty setting. DoW, and DoW2 even more, didn't leave that impression on me.

I rather enjoyed the DOW 2 games. Only "rather"? Not fully?
