So I had this networking software called Network Magic. I used it to share files between all our computers in our home but I mostly used it as a sort of who is online at the moment thing. It had a picture of a router and all the devices using it and it would tell me which device is online and...

Sony is a huge mega corp. How hard would it be to hire a few independent programmers who specialize in making emulators free for the public. Its just a matter of putting a few of those corporate tendrils out to find these people and add them to their payroll for a bit. Mabey offer a royalty for...

Yeah I see Greenlight as a great system for brining out new good games. Sure you get a few bad eggs but it just requires special rules. I had this idea for improving it for a while now...... Do you buy games with your credit/debit card? Never find a use for those "gaming card" steam prepaid...

GamersDissent, OfficialNerdCubed and OfficialStuffPlus. (who is not affiliated officialnerdcubed) All of them play the game but condense it for your viewing pleasure. They play most of the triple A games and a staggering lot of the indie games coming out like spacebase df9 and banished. The...

Ive asked in a different thread but got no definitive answer. Whats the big deal with base defense? Why do you care? Its just another "defeat all the aliens on this map" mission only the backdrop is that of your base. Its a longer mission and they mix it up by mixing cadets and your regulars...

So ive already preordered. Loved Xcom EU and am looking forward to more of it. I don't get the hype about base defense though. Anyone explain what im missing there? Anytime it comes up its touted as "AW YEAH FINALLY!, WOW CANT WAIT, THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!" Its just another destroy all aliens...

Guess the search is over, what your asking for doesnt exist. Ive played many rts's but none have mmorpg esque customizable armies. No game lets your units all wear robes or all be female. There may be factions with those things but no such customizability. Fallen enchantress should be totally...

TLDR: HOW DOES ORGINS BEHAVE: Like a child who is still learning the ropes but does its share to stay out of your way. Its not bad is what im saying. IS IT USER FREINDLY: Yes for the most part, the shop desperatly needs reworking since its hard to browse. I got money burning my pocket but...

If this makes any sense its sort of like Battlefield 3. Its not as good as Battlefield 2 but it has its own style that its still playably good. Or in a broader term its no Empire Strikes Back but atleast its no phantom meneace. My opinion is probably invalid seeing as i havent played the...

Its not an investment, with an investment you get a return on your money. If bought a share of a start up company and they spent the money on developing a product, that share would be worth more than you paid for it. If you lent a company money you would get interest on the money and the...

Yeah you hit the nail on the head on all your points. So i have no problems with those, you are correct. However that isnt the main point of this thread and my point still stands. Would you rather have a project that was just a here and there spare time hobby or a fully dedicated dream project...

I think Da Vinci, and Micheal Angelo would have created thier great works without funding from patrons, but do you think they would have been as good if thier projects were just something they did between jobs? Giving enthusiastic visionary people the money to create gives us a better product...

When he compares XCOM to Sim City its not about comparing gameplay aspects, he nvr did that. He's talking about the ability to load up a save when things get bad. In XCOM you lose one too many soldiers becuase your distracted or wasnt thinking then you want to reload, just like in Sim City when...

Varying experiments in the genre tanked and led to its collapse too, see Civilizations Rise and Fall the rts/first person hack and slasher hybrid (free to download leagaly btw) and Warfront Turning Point with its rts/first person pillbox and turret gameplay. Ill tell you what the genere...

Less a trailer and more a teaser isnt it? Fans, get ready to get pumped up for the 20th! Hey why not buy a few last minute games before we rock the gameing world with an announcement! Stockholders hang on to those stocks, its going no where but up for the next few days, and hey mabey even a...
