er, spore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwvAq2lQv9Q To paraphrase one user comment somewhere, "sucks like Black & White." Perhaps social gamers, casual...
... Is it worthwhile buying my son the copy he desperately wants right away, instead of waiting for his birthday, to let people know a 13-year-old's...
... Sure. At that age I was muleing chests in Ultima III, so how hard can he be to please? Worst case it's focus group research. That 15 year old girl I met...
I picked this up yesterday, haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I'm not expecting much depth out of the gameplay part, but my two favorite game mechanics...
... You mention Zeus specifically; did the other city-builders (Caesar I-II-III-IV, Pharaoh/Cleopatra, Emperor) have annoyances, or perhaps were they "just" a...
... I played the demo of Pharaoh. Zeus was the successor, and in my opinion, was more slickly done than Pharaoh, so I never picked up Pharaoh. I played the...
... There is an argument that a Sins of a Solar Empire, popular as it may be, doesn't have the demographics or unit sales of a major EA title. And thus, that...
... Why "thus would never scale"? I could deduce "we don't know if it would scale" or "there's no evidence it would scale", but why can it never scale?...
... The presumption, which you're welcome to test if you have as many dollars as EA :-), is that there are far too many thieves in the mass market. Cheers, ...
... I was gonna try out Spore cause it looks gorgeous, but they are losing dollars to me and the other 1,961 people who give it one star on amazon because of...
... Will it? Is there any track record or proof of EA losing money on major titles due to their no demo, anti-piracy policies? I mean, *I* generally won't...
... Yes. It cost them at least one copy not sold to me. Right there is an actual loss of sale. You wanted actual but there's also the potential copy for my...
You don't need to buy a copy for each of you if you share the same account. You can set up one account per household, and use that on up to three computers....
... I'm not willing to concede that kind of uniform profile of piracy types. I'm pretty sure anti-piracy keeps some people honest. The question is, do they...
... That's pretty cool. I hadn't looked into those details. ... Sometimes I'd swear the companies do this themselves (put it on bittorrent), but that's just...
... I rushed to the mall and bought myself a copy this weekend. The first stage of the game is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. It captures the essence of the dog eat dog...
... This seems reasonably compatible with other comments I've seen that the middle stages had no replay value, so I guess those other comments at best found...
... Sounds fun. Are choices like the gland location discrete, or can you attempt to place them eg at an angle of your choice between front and side? Not that...
... One-fucking-hundred percent analogical man! You can add them to the torso anywhere, to other things you added to the torso, to things that you added to...
... Shades of Black & White. Levels 1 and 2 are incredibly polished and original, makes you feel like you're playing something special. Then on Level 3 you...
... I'm curious, is the dancing and singing in Spore terribly virile? Like, when seeing a Zulu war dance, I don't think "gay" is the 1st thing that would come...
... Not really. :) ... There are probably as many varieties of gays (even within one same geographical region) as there are gamers and all other such...
... I lived in Capitol Hill, the gay neighborhood of Seattle, for 11 years. Even given that, the biggest eye opener for me were the pride parades. Not...
I'm contemplating combat systems for turn based strategy games. Randomized "to hit" and "damage" systems are nearly ubiquitous. Today I wondered, what if...
... One of the tabletop wargames I own is called Jabberwocky, and it's a fantasy wargame, but it has no randomization at all. I don't have it on hand right...
I remember playing a game years ago that had no random element in battles. I can't remember the name, but I think it was made by Avalon Hill, based on one of...
... Memory fades, but might that have been Risk? Diplomacy had an extremely simplistic, deterministic combat scheme, but there was still lots of strategy...
... That reminds me of Rock, Paper, Scissor, Spock, Lizard: http://www.gonewacko.org/T2003/GamesWePlay/RPSSL.gif But if it goes on for two pages, this is more...
... I sincerely don't know the game's name. These elements you mention do ring a bell, but I don't remember them in this same game. Hopefully the House of the...
... You're gonna mind if your entire front line is composed of Green Militias, and so is your opponent's, and the dice rolls happen to go way against you,...
