    Armageddon Empires

    this is an old topic, but there has been 2 mini expansions for free for this game (with new graphics, and new mechanisms): The first one, Cults of the Wastelands adds some roaming NPC opponent organizations (they don't play like the player and other controlled factions at all), that have...

    Fallout 3 & SecuROM

    But there has been reported problems with SecuROM interacting badly with two DVD writers, and emulation softwares, and I use both. That and it is largely inefficient. Its main purpose is to help shareholder sleep a little better, but I am unwilling to install unwanted software for that, let...

    Fallout 3 : A succesful re-branding

    Re: rebutts! Do you think you are some kind of priest or something? As if the important things that made Fallout great were the same for everyone...

    Fallout 3 & SecuROM

    I think it is a big deal: SecuROM is not very different from a spyware from many points of view: it is a pest to uninstall, it checks everything you do on your computer, and it sends data over the Internet without asking you for permission. Eve though they didn't use the worst version of...

    Armageddon Empires released - Post-Apocalyptic TBS

    I have played the game and ended up spending a lot more time I wanted to. It has very elegent mechanisms IMO, and the AI is rather good. No multiplayer planned though (which is a shame). What I appreciate the most is the diversity of the games, their intensity and their short duration (1-4h)...

    Dimwit: Fallout 1, 2 or Arcanum?

    thank you. I was refering to situation like the Thog dialogue indeed, so it would be a change from smart dialogue to dumb dialogue indeed (I hoped there would be some special dumb quests, caused by people trying to take advantage of your character idiocy). It seems to make the game much shorter...

    Dimwit: Fallout 1, 2 or Arcanum?

    I want to replay one of these games(Arcanum or Fallout 2) with a dimwit. Which of these games changes the most when you play a retard?

    The continuing bastardization of series

    At least, it is a port, while WH40K:Squad command will be a turn based Warhammer 40K game for PSP and DS only... Just great. PC owner should be content with the old Chaos Gate that does not run under XP. let just limit non indie PC games to 5 different genres (FPS RTS action RPG, MMORPG...

    Petition: Release of Fallout design documents by Bethesda

    That would probably help their PR indeed, but I doubt they'd do it as they are somewhat paranoid with the intellectual materials in their possession.

    KFAN interviews Matt Miller

    I too somewhat liked Kotor 2 story more than Kotor. One of the troubles with the Kotor engine is that it was designed both for consoles and PC, thus it had a cumbersome interface, and horrible party control. That and I don't think D20 was the best system to base a videogame on. Even for a PnP...

    New Dawn newsletter

    Excellent :clap: . I'd still take miss hulk in cow boy outfit over resident evil mutants anyday though. Concerning SF2, they had started using chainmail bikinis with Spellforce 1, so the sequel remains true to its predecessor. They should have preserved some other areas of the original title...

    High RPG Replay value games

    I second these excellent suggestions. I just played the two (only tried KoDP at a friend's home for a short time, though, and still had lots of fun with these. Space Ranger 2 and Mount and Blade (MnB has some very good mods) have a good replayability even though they are not strict RPG (SR2...

    Need tips on Strategy games.

    Space Rangers 2 is an excellent hybrid game, I didn't put it there because it would be hard to determine its category (I think it is marketed as an RPG), as minigames are a core part of its design, but I had great fun playing it. The RTS part is somewhat frustrating because of the horrible AI...

    Need tips on Strategy games.

    Other empire building games Dominions 3 Master of Orion (1 or 2): far better than Galactiv Civ 2 IMO, probably abandonware by now Master of Magic (abandonware) Age of Wonder (1 or 2, although the campaigns play very differently) Squad combat games WH40K: Chaos Gate : very challenging...

    Fargo clarifies

    There are some misinforming statements, though (only noticed the ones about Blade of Darkness and Freedom Force, but I didn't play all of these games...)

    Reactions to the GI scans

    That is not completely correct, as Sander pointed out, the guy who paid Bethesda in the first place would have bought the game regardless of your decision. It still somewhat benefits Bethesda, though, as if you didn't buy it from him, he would have sold it on the second hand market, thus...

    Game Informer Fallout 3 article scans

    It is what I understood about the VATS system too. It sounds like a shooter with pause. That would be consistant with other Beth products as Oblivion was semi twitch based (that is twitch based with a poor combat system), and Morrowind was in between (no tactical combat, but not twitch based...

    Severance Blade of Darkness

    Thanks, it was only a problem of it not wanting to run on a NTFS partition.
