    Chris Taylor Calls Supreme Commander 2 The Best in "Large Scale RTS"

    Well, you need to know about all of the games in question to really see where the truth lies. Mostly, people here are really just saying "SupCom 2 is a bad game" and uninformed individual would think the story ends here. But when you actually look a the titles, you'll see they don't like the...

    Chris Taylor Calls Supreme Commander 2 The Best in "Large Scale RTS"

    Rooster, the point is, hate is directed at SupCom 2 only because it's not SupCom/FA. Not because it would be a bad game (which it isn't). These rabid "fans" evidently think they're entitled to GPG making only a game they want and should the studio stray from this rule (which it did), shitstorm...

    Chris Taylor Calls Supreme Commander 2 The Best in "Large Scale RTS"

    If anyone feels he wasted cash on SupCom 2, it's his own fault. They put out a demo before the game went on sale - a demo that even paints a vastly uglier picture than what the game really is. You should never, ever, buy anything just based on your expectations alone. If you do, it's your own...

    Chris Taylor Calls Supreme Commander 2 The Best in "Large Scale RTS"

    Heh, judging by what I read in this thread, game developers should never, EVER, listen do their fans, since those usually pathologically emotionally attached to their work, which may backfire at the slightest hint of variation. Supreme Commander 2 is a good game. It's not as novel as SupCom...

    Soldiers Support Six Days in Fallujah

    I almost went and counted minutes till someone would mention Black Hawk Down. :D It's a very cool movie that I enjoyed immensely. But I stress - it does NOT portray the conflict in a realistic way, because of several key factors. Because it focuses on just a few elements, it is also both...

    Soldiers Support Six Days in Fallujah

    @Therumancer: Oh, by the canon of free speech, I would defend the right of Konami to make such a game. I would still deem it inappropriate, though. :P @Jumplion: the horror film experience can't possibly come close to a true PTSD. But you raise a fine questuon: how far can you go down the...

    Soldiers Support Six Days in Fallujah

    @Malygris: that's why I wrote the last paragraph. Yes, a videogame can be made with the depth of movies and books of the highest standard. How it would be recieved by the public is entirely different matter, though. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for deep, culturally critical games. Games...

    Soldiers Support Six Days in Fallujah

    Those last words are more a case of sheer ignorance than common sense. People aren't protesting the game because they think it's going to be a bad product and not worth your money. They protest because of the possible cultural impact. But I guess that in times of rampant consumerism the only...

    Videogames Made Halo 3 Killer Do It After All

    Funny thing is, few of the commenters here actually realized that this man was able to put his personal beliefs aside in order to remain prefessional. Moreover, his reflections aren't all that absurd, when you, you know, manage to read them without all that teen angst that most of the commenters...
