Default Re: So no Dominions 4?

I also think alot of people in this thread dont give dominions enough credit. It might not have the same graphics as the total war series, but theyre that much worse. Dom has appeal that I dont think people realize.

Im the lowest common denominator when it comes to games like this, I play unreal, halflife, quakewars, I like mmos, im in my mid 20s, im not a nerd or a grognard, I buy the movies and the games with the big budget development teams and swoon over the flashy graphics.

I was swayed to this game because I really enjoy playing games with and against other people, Ive played just about every multiplayer game you can think of. I just love being competetive. If I hadnt pirated dom2 to play with a friend who had purchased it, id never have purchased dom3. Ever. So theres a sale due to piracy even. But I dont advocate people running around willy nilly stealing every game they can. If you can purchase it, purchase it. Especially if its an indy game. So I cant just tell people pirate the thing, if you like it, buy it, but the price, certainly forces people to take that route (and hopefully most of them purchase it after they see how great it is) Lowering the price, just sending emails and having interviews and reviews on some good multiplayer strategy game websites, and pbem matching making sites, to remind people who, like me, saw this game first there, saw the price and never looked at it again (till someone i knew took the leap of faith and bought it) and lowering the price, is gonna snag all those people who saw the game, saw the price, and turned their back.

Just look at it this way.

All you guys like all the mods right?

Think about all the potential mods and mod makers out there, who wont buy this game because its too expensive. Think about what youre missing out on.
