Reply to Steam: A monopoly in the making? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Yeah, I saw that announcement a couple weeks ago. I immediately dropped all plans to purchase Crusader Kings 2 as a result. It's a pity; I was so looking forward to that game.... It's a dark day for gamers for everywhere.

Reply to Armada 2526 or Distant Worlds or neither? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="Anguille" reply="5" id="3025345"]Both games are great (both need their addons). Armada 2526 with Supernova is a classic 4x (turn-based) in the line with MOO 1 & 2. It's my favorite. The basic game wasn't very sexy and many have kept that in their head but the game has made a huge progression... Distant Worlds with the forthcoming second addon is the deepest 4x game in the market...it's just superb. The game is real-time so needs more concentra

Reply to Pride of Nations in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I've had my eye on Pride Vainglory of Nations for a while now. I've never had much interest in the Victorian era, but this game might change that for me! I've been playing around with the demo for the last few days, and have been having fun with it for the most part. It has a steep learning curve (especially with regard to economics and the trade system) and the game could use

Dear Stardock forums: Please stop logging me out! in Forum Issues Elemental Forums

Dear Stardock forums, I've been reluctant to say anything for a while now, because I don't want to hurt your feelings. However, enough is enough! My patience has finally run out, and I feel have no choice but to put my foot down. Overall, you and I have gotten along well, and for a fairly long time: We've been hanging around each other since before the first Galactic Civilizations (Windows version) wa

Reply to So what have you been gaming lately? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I've been playing the heck out of Armada 2526 the last few months, especially since I became a beta-tester for the soon-to-be-released expansion Supernova . It was already a fun 4x title before, but the expansion really improves upon the vanilla game.

[quote who="Abendstern" reply="14" id="2840977"]does this mean that you are the only developer for this game ? [/quote] At this point, yes he is. But then, given that there hadn't been anyone working on GC2 at all for the last year or two (most of Stardock's game people have been working on Elemental), I'm just happy to have Brad still giving a little love to this excellent space 4x game.

[quote who="DKL" reply="21" id="2789966"]SotS is much better, IMHO. In my chart, it is even higher than GC2 or MoO3 .[/quote] Dude, that's not much of a comparison. Just about every 4x game ever released is better than MOO3. [e digicons];P[/e]

Reply to Distant Worlds; 4Ex Space Strategy; What do you think? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I can definitely recommend Distant Worlds . It was already pretty decent when it first came out, and the six patches/updates it's received since then have vastly improved upon it, to the point where it can now probably be considered a true classic. In the game's current state, I'd say it's at least as good as Galactic Civilizations 2 (with both expansions)....and in all honesty, it's probably even a little better. (A
