Reply to Left 4 Dead in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Counter-Strike has a great deal of variety and replayability. I must admit that despite the fun I have had with this, Left4Dead just doesn`t promise that. Environmental interactivity seems pretty low for a scrounge-for-supplies survival game (the comparatively budget-titled Land (?) Of The Dead had more), only 4 types of enemies, and only 4 sets *is* very thin. And the randomized/governing controller A.I. doesn`t seem to me to be that compensatory - not to the extent I could envision myself p

[BUG] Capturing While Immobilized in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Capturing While Immobilized Demigods seem to be able to capture flags (might need confirmation...) whilst stunned or frozen. This may occur only towards the end of their freeze or stun state, but I believe its there. If a Demigod is immobilized, they ought not be able to exert control over proximate flag points.

I enjoyed the demo thus far (time-limited! BLAH!). I did find the whole to go by very fast though. Will try on a harder difficulty and see how it flows. R.e.: time limitation, kind of lame towards anybody who doesn`t download the sample before the release date...

I cant imagine crews surviving the death of their ship. glowing/pulsing planets when under seige are already in the game. I think that special ebilities are fine, more subtle visual representations od abilities would look boring though. Other ideas are good. Randomization of combat such as lucky shots would EAT processing power. [/quote] As long as

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="2" id="1924603"]This is looking an awful lot like another HOMM or Age of Wonders so far. The HOMM series had about 6 schools of magic, and they also got bonuses within their own type of landscape. The biggest things looking to set this apart are the MP and the modding. Warlords 2 opened it up to modding, and that didn't work out very well. I would have loved to see a fantasy version of Civ, but it's not to be on this one. [/quot

Left4Dead looks great, but I must admit to a greater degree of appreciation for the same general scenario in the one Zombie mode in Call Of Duty World At War . The gameplay videos show what to me is a more natural pace of shuffling & movement (fire & movement?) for zombies compared to that of Left4Dead . The latter features speed more akin to me of apocalyptic mutants rather than zombies, and its nice to see that such a trait seems to b

I would very much like to see Sins transform a bit into the following. If anything, Sins is too predictable combat-mechanic-wise. There is too much flash & pretty colours. I would: -remove experience level limits for capital ships (unlimited levels) -make far more subtle visual representations of ship special abilities -make far less game-changing those abilities -randomize damages from weapons fire (including siege armaments vs. planets)<br
