Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

But isn't that the case with all media? There are very clever websites with amateur web design whose conent is brilliant, and commercial websites with excellent design and graphics but very banal...

Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

I assure you, that isn't the case with BioShock. It's actually quite a bit of fun, and also worth noting a friend of mine has reported that it's quite playable on a 3 ghz P3 with a Radeon 1950...

Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

Actually, I'm quite certain that you were responding to my direct question regarding games that one becomes bored with after 5 seconds and the discovery of a "pattern" in said games. I believe that...

Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

First off, reading a cheat book online doesn't mean you sat down and figured out a pattern in 5 seconds, so this doesn't qualify.

I haven't really played any RPGs like that since the 90's, so I...

Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

Sudoku is kind of third grade math homework mixed with elements of a crossword puzzle. It's not exciting, but like most pasttimes, it passes time. Not really my thing, but I see people doing it on...

Re: Riots?

Yes, and in the context of having read his latter explanation, it certainly is easy to understand them and quote/bold cherry-picked parts of the conversation to hilight your argument....

Re: Riots?

Hmm...so much for apologizing.

And, actually, that wasn't an assumption, it was a conclusion based on words you wrote. It was also a logical one; as clearly shown in the quote, anyone with more...

Re: Riots?

That's not how I took your post here:

It seemed, by extension, you were saying that it would only be logical that bigger be better in this area so as to be consistent with the rest of the game. ...

Re: OT: How to get C&C Tiberian Sun to run on Win

There is an edition that was released with the First Decade compilation of Command and Conquer games which, if I'm not mistaken, runs fine under Windows XP.

Other than that, I can't really offer...

Re: Riots?

Yes, I totally agree. That would be good. The ground combat system is underdeveloped, to be sure. It has been for at least a few iterations of the series (having only really seen the game since 3...

Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

Hmm...Care to elaborate on what games you've played that had a pattern one could discern within 5 minutes of playing them? I'm sure they're out there, but I doubt they are what I'd describe as one...

All the more reason to keep that aspect of the game included.

Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

A lot of my friends (and I) would agree with you, Atrocities. But I also know some people who can't be bothered with the hassle of installing/configuring new hardware, and dealing with various...

Re: Riots?

Actually, if I am reading you correctly, this is exactly how I would have set things up. Perhaps even giving larger troops a penalty for policing populations, but the fact that smaller troops are...

Re: SE:V -- Problems after Alt-Tab

Thanks for all the feedback.

I think I figured it out. After reading EaX's suggestion for video setup, I played around with some of the settings. It seems that if I run SEV in a resolution...

Re: SE:V -- Problems after Alt-Tab

All my drivers are the latest, Direct X is the latest, and the patch is 1.44. I do a lot of gaming, and this system itself is no more than a couple of months old, and I've updated drivers more than...

Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

I can't play Company of Heroes or Supreme Commander on a console. At the moment, there's actually no console that's even remotely powerful enough to run either. That, and consoles do not have...

Re: Riots?

Hmm...what do you mean by this? That it takes several small troops to give the benefit of a large troop? And that this is a bad idea?

I would think that, in terms of pacification just from a...

SE:V -- Problems after Alt-Tab

I've been having some problems with Space Empires V after I alt-tab the game to do something else. When I come back to the game, it doesn't appear to be truly in the foreground. I don't really know...
