Reply to Soren Johnson launches Mohawk Games! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Have you thought of making an RTS like Company of Heroes? That type of RTS is sorely needed. Company of Heroes 2 is turning out to be a failure in competetive play and cannot reach CoH in depth or strategies. It's casualized with lack of doctrines and global upgrades and is a rush for tanks. The Commanders (new version of doctrines) are ruining competetive play. The arcadey, high APM market have been claimed by StarCraft II but the people who

Reply to AMD R9-290X Revealed in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="10" id="3412269"] AMD doesn't need help with their GPU market share since they snatched the contracts for both the next playstation and xbox consoles. If anything you should be oogling their CPUs if you really want the market to stay competitive.[/quote] But how much money does AMD make of the consolecontracts? Rumor has it that Nvidia wasn't interested in the consoles since the profitmargin is so slim. AMD however, wh

[quote who="Brago" reply="4" id="3410378"] Quoting Stringer2, reply 2 Looks nice, but at this rate it is not going to make the goal. yes, is also my fear, but the weird thing is that is not even in the staff pick of the games section, more strange if you think that is in the steam greenlight's top ten .[/quote] That's because people there seem to vote up everything decent.

I wonder what BoogieBac said about this [e digicons]:P[/e] If I had the skills, I would have made this animated gif video I have in my head of BoogieBac thinking he was THE candidate for head of studio but got beaten to it.

Reply to Multiplayer (in general) in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I believe multiplayer leads to greater sales than modding since I believe that a whole lot more people prefer multiplayer than to mod. Of all the people who buy a game, some will play online but VERY few will ever mod it (more will download mods though). When I was a kid with the NES and SNES, I can't recall having a preference. It was about how good the game was. Today, it's still about how good the game is but some

Reply to The problem with AI in games in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I like these articles about A.I. Interesting. In StarCraft, I believe the A.I was heavily scripted (as it did the same things every single game) but in StarCraft II it was much better. Do any of you guys know what they did to make the A.I better?

Reply to What happened to Global Warming? in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

This is one of those thing which I ONLY see debates of on the internet. I have never heard anyone IRL talk about it. Have any of you guys ever heard anyone bring it up? Have any of you guys changed anything because of it? Like driving less and caring for the environment more? Personally, I don't know what to think....I see it as a task for politicians. And as long f.e China opens new coalmines and according to Greenpeace is pred

Reply to Microsoft...sigh in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

That's one of the lateast blunders they've done and it's funny [e digicons]:grin:[/e] First they use Nvidia cards instead of AMD ones (which they're gonna use in the Xbone) which implies they know or don't trust AMDs cards to be good enough (especially not as the AMD cards in the Xbone are middleclass lvl!) Secondly, they use Windows 7. Not even Microsoft uses Windows 8 [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

Do Americans have problems accepting failure in games? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Is it true? You guys in the US got problems with failure? [Quote] While traditional education systems teach students to try to succeed and learn from their failures, he said, the American education system has evolved to the point that failure has largely been removed from the equation entirely. "The idea of failure has been dramatically reduced," he said, noting that American students don't "fail." Rather, they are "challenged," a

Reply to PRISM and the NSA in Current Events Elemental Forums

If there were a way to encrypt everything and still have it userfriendly (like everyone you're communicating with using the strongest encryption there is) I would always use it. If people only encrypt things they absolutely DON'T want the government to see then it makes it too easy for'em. This is like in Deus Ex where the internet were hardwired into Area 51. Sci-Fi stuff becomeing real....oh man! This makes it quite impossible to hide what you're doing online

I support many projects and this is my standard rule I have backed 20 projects (19 video games and one board game). 5 of them were not funded. 2 or 3 of the non-funded seems to have found money elsewhere so they may come to pass. 2 projects are finished (Warlords from Sweden and the Defense Grid expansion).

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes Review Roundup in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The problem about metacritic is twofold: Different sites using different gradingscales Including every site For example, a magazine I used to read 15 years ago called SuperPlay (consolemagazine) said once that in THEIR magazine, 50 wasn't the average. 75 were and therefore 50 meant "quite below average". I never thought about it much until years later when I realized that their gradingscale was publishersucking BS!
