Reply to This HAS to GO! in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Hasn't this kind of subject come up before? I remember something about most Sci-Fi shows/movies as well as games often have space fleets act more like navy vessals than real spaceships. One subject was bought up before was that in real space there would be no need have small fighter and bombers yet in many shows,movies and games they are common place.

[quote who="Crassmaster" reply="49" id="2460002"] Uhhh...recent studies have shown that the average gamer is in their 30's and married with at least one kid. Gaming is NOT 'for the children'...the politicians just act like it is to create an 'instant controvesy' issue that gets them points from the older generation (aka the ones who have never played a game) without them having to tackle a real issue.

That's the thing , video games are at the heart make believe. They are childish and by adding sex,profanity,gore,etc. doesn't really change this. This is why the Nintendo Wii is such a huge success and making lots more profits than the HD consoles. I still play video games because I still have some child lefted in me :) Now that you agree you don't watch your parent having sex shows that you do draw the line somewhere. Some people just draw that line a

[quote who="GeneralEtrius" reply="13" id="2442912"] As a conservative parent who used to be a 15 year old kid, I can be fair and understand your viewpoint. While I did not appreciate my parents filtering content for me when I was young I can now appreciate and understand why as an adult. We personally filter, as much as possible, all material viewed by our children and allow them to either view/play based on how we feel they will affected by the material. This varies by each kid as they

Reply to C&C4 to require internet connection for singleplayer in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I wonder how much of the game itself will runs on the server? Did Frogboy post something like this might eventually happen where some or most of the game will run on a server? If that's true it may make it a little harder to pirate the game.

Reply to Elemental: AI designing in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

[quote who="Wittgenstein83" reply="6" id="2274262"]I know nothing about AI programming and very little about video games, so forgive me if my question is stupid : Why not allow the AI to "think" longer before playing ? I play computer chess, where there is a strong correlation (although not linear of course) between the program's playing strength and the amount of time its computes before playing. Wouldn't that work in strategy video games ? I wouldn't mind waiting one o

Reply to This is why demigod is aggravating in Demigod Stardock Forums

This post is an example of why I don't care to play online with strangers and mostly play single player. When I play with my friends or family noone really cares at the end of the game who won or who was a noob,etc. It's all about having fun together. P.S this is probably one reason why MMORPG like WOW are such a success even though I find them extremely boring; the experienced players are more noob friendly and doesn
