Ahh, new people can get access if they donate. I guess that makes more sense.

One might question the wisdom of making a promotional film available only to people who have already bought the product. I realise that without all the tiers the math doesn't work and much less funding would have been raised, but at some point it all starts getting a little ridiculous trying to maintain these artificial barriers.

Installer should automatically update redistributables as the final step, although sometimes it's manual and you quit rather than update DX and lo and behold C++ came after.

That's one hell of a necro. Thread started in 2008

I see Tweihanders pike formations and Halberds. I'd say right around late 15th ct. to early 16th ct. Possibly around the 30 years war where superior cannon were starting to become a dominant feature on the battlefield. They made a tabletop game out of that ?

What is that. Empire stuff from Warhammer FB

I thought the supernatural angle worked really well in Deadly Shadows. We have a genuinely sinister main protagonist and some really scary places like the Shalebridge Cradle, but you're right. They didn't overdo it which is why it worked.

You know these trailer thingies have seperate producers and only relate to the finished product in a general sense. The tone should be steampunk though, not AssCreed clone. I dunno

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSUAJeq90Qw&list=PLD2DE02A1CF443AA8 New EPMD thingie for 2013. Last installment was 1999. Ended in bad blood and death threats so this is actually kind of a big deal for those that are old enough to remember. It's on spotify btw.

Those pictures are really good.

The problem of course is forcing multiplayer and always online down the throat of a game that doesn't need it. Many FPS games have little other appeal than multiplayer, not so with Sim City.

I would suggest that this discussion belongs in Computer & Console where there is already a thread for this kickstarter. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/63563-divinity-original-sin-kickstarter/

For me Homeworld was primarily a multiplayer experience. Competitive RTS for bragging rights. I don't think Homeworld Tychoon tm would appeal to me, or the social media angle. Still if this becomes a hit maybe they will be able to make another Homeworld.

Wow. That sounds remarkably like something I would never glance at twice. Too bad, they have put out some good games over the years. I guess this is where it ends, with the always online/microtransactions trend.

My Galaxys s3 has a cracked screen. Can't be replaced without changing the touch panel as well which is very expensive, like half the cost of the phone. Pretty stupid. At least you can change a cracked sceen on an inphone. But there is no way I would do without file handling and installing from any source.

Yeah it gets better. Too bad they're afriad of dialouge options. Would have added that extra layer with all the effort that went into the scenery and the background.

I've played 30 mins and I don't like it. Can't believe I called in sick for this. . Mediocre shooter with magic and such, and a story I don't care about so far. It's pretty though, but that ain't enough. I dislike the way you have to hoard mana to cast spells, stopping to loot every trashcan. Find some other way to balance it. Not familiar with the Bioshock universe so I don't really care how well it ties the rest of the games together. Still, it will probably get better. There must be something to all this enthusiasm. PS: Is there a way I can get Iron sights to be the usual configuration for shooters (hold right mouse to aim) instead of being a toggle ?

Divine Divinity didn't have turn based combat, the later installments were pretty uninteresting to me at least. I don't see how this is a return to the roots. Old 3d games really show their age and are often unplayable. The Isometric 2,5 D like the infinity engine with pre rendered sprites are still playable so that's a plus at least.

Is she hot. (Sorry couldn't resist)

So it's basically Boardwalk Empire in sky castles.

What is it ?

I find that building whatever you need the most now works best. Getting the officer training school or foundtry even just a few missions earlier at the cost of having to invest more in power and tunneling later is well worth it.

If games consistently get 9 or 9.5 out of ten something is amiss with the scoring system. Were one less discriminating one could suggest that the usual whores deliver what they are paid for. And of course the game migth be awesome, one can't know. I hope it is.

I thought we were talking about the original X com. The reboot is all kinds of awesome. Some tiles were unreachable on alien boarding missions and the tile selection a little buggy with mouseover. The reboot doesn't have base defense sadly.

Except for that last alien on the map you cant find that prevents you from ending the mission and possibly from completing the game if its during a base defense. That and the 3 minuite waits between turns while the scripts are doing god knows what will test the patience of anyone.
