Reply to Piracy ain't the only reason why PC gaming is dying (my rant) in PC Gaming PolMach Forums

While PC gaming is not dead, it most certainly is dying.. Having been a PC gamer for 20 years, I've seen the decline, especially in the last few years.. On my last few visits to stores like Gamestop, EB, Walmart and Best Buy, you are lucky to find one shelf of PC games.. while console games now take up 90 percent of their gaming area.. Most remaining PC gaming companies are only geared for Online games so they can market you even as you play.. So Let's j

Reply to Piracy & PC Gaming in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

In its classic form, the financial paranoid have to punish the majority because they simply can't control the actions of the few. Yet.in the long run such practices never work. Most of the computer gaming industry has never really had any pulse on its gamer's dilemnas. With its totally and misleading "requirement specs", most PC game producers have always designed games by using the leading technology available and just assumed we gamers could dumb down the options and make it play on any

Reply to Starcraft vs. Sins of a Solar Empire in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

The most important thing about Starcraft is if you are comparing a Single player game vs Multiplayer.. Starcraft was a great fun game in the Campaign mode but playing against the AI in any single player map was never fun, due to rush tactics by the AI..before you could ever build you were being attacked..!! Multiplayer against another human was a more balanced game.. As for SINS, I have not played it but from every thing I've seen and read it's more like Homeworld on steroids..

Local High Scores for Dread Lords in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Would like to request an update to the Dread Lords version of Galactive Civ 2. First off,, not everyone loves everything being thrown into Dark Aviatar, for one I think the whole "mining" premise really adds nothing and looks cheesy as compared to the rest of the game. The Universe starts to look like a junkyard.. And the graphics are more intense (even tho I turned options down) and although I am above recommended specs, DA runs much more sluggish than DL... If nothing e

Reply to Sword of the Stars in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

To say that a human is always a better opponent than an AI is pretty silly.. Over the years I've played dozens of turn-based games against a good AI that always made it challenging..can't say that about multiplayer,, some were good , some were poor and also the AI doesn't find reasons to quit ( go offline ) when you're ahead.. And the AI is always there ready for you.. It's just up to programmers to dedicate the time and effort... On Space games,,Some of my AI Battles in games like M

Reply to Help me diagnose... is this GalCiv2 or my own pc?? (Sound issues) in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

My music sometimes skips when a new pop-up of news occurs or the research screen appears,,but not during just regular turns.. did you try re-installing the game without the 1.11 patch and seeing if it still happens.. that way you might see if its the patch or possible another program that affected your sound drivers..etc.. just a thought.

Poor Video compatability in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I like Object Dock but it has very little compatability with both PowerDVD and also my ATI TV video card.. Not only does Object Dock go into a flickering frenzy whenever I start those programs but actually hurt their performance... Once I shutdown Object Dock,,the problem goes away..

I'm not sure how you implement your "hit N run" tactics when its the AI turn and he is destroying your oribtal ships one after another,,..hmmm And as for seeing them coming and attacking them first.uh,, why would it be more prudent to attack them outside of orbit as opposed to in orbit ?? learning as I go here..
