Reply to Am I The Only One Who Can't Stand Bioware? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

So lets go over Mass Effect 2 for a minute. Bioware is the first company in gaming's history to factor in choice in a trilogy. Decisions and characters, whether they live or die roll over to the next game. Man, that is such a stale formula that every game company does. I am sick of seeing companies roll over save games to make my decisions carry more weight. Come on, Mass Effect is the best planned trilogy in gaming's history. There's no argument here. Mass Effect is more than just pu

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="39" id="2629407"]But consumers don't have any say in the matter because the decisions are made at the developer and publisher level. [/quote] Yup. I like consoles. Just I'll play Mass Effect 2 on PC rather than 360.

Reply to What Gives? Supreme Commander 2 Support Absurd Compared to Demigod in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="pacov" reply="15" id="2590144"] Btw, SupCom2's multiplayer connections are far from perfect. The lobby randomly drops players, player randomly loose connection during the loading screen or sometimes even in the game. There is an exploit that lets the loosing player disconnect and he will get a win in the stats. Not that I'm thrilled to hear that they still have issues, but I'm actually a little glad to hear that they don't have all of their connectivity issues sorted.&nb

Reply to What Gives? Supreme Commander 2 Support Absurd Compared to Demigod in Demigod Stardock Forums

I tried to ask GPG. I've never gotten any responses. I've emailed Chris Taylor, I've posted in forums. Its why I talked to the Uber guys at PAX East. I appreciate your response Frogboy. It simply just annoys me GPG is clearly capable of great support, but decided to shaft Demigod in favor of Supreme Commander 2 development. GPG never saw a single dollar back from SupCom 1 with a $10 million budget, so $5 million for SupCom 2 sounded right. Oh well. Maybe Demigod 2 after Kings and Cast

[quote who="kryo" reply="5" id="2589883"]I'd take those figures with a grain of salt, pending word from someone still with the company. Given the folks at Uber left GPG quite some time ago (before SC2 had a publisher, I think), their figures for SC2 might well just be the development budget at the point they left. There's no knowing whether that included the post-release budget and other expenses or changes since their departures. Further, it's impossible to say what guidelines Squ

What Gives? Supreme Commander 2 Support Absurd Compared to Demigod in Demigod Demigod Forums

I don't understand something. And to be perfectly honest it has begun to annoy me the more I think about it. Supreme Commander 2 is on its 5th significant patch a month after release with more dedicated support clearly communicated by GPG. Last year the cries were UI is too expensive to implement. Well, GPG keeps doing it. On a budget HALF THE SIZE of Demigod. Supreme Commander 1 and Demigod had a budget of $10 million. Supreme Commander 2 had a budget of $5 million. I know this becau

Reply to What Demigod II Should Look Like in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="26" id="2567679"]Looking at it another way: 1. Demigod's major failing was that it was too beautiful for its budget, team size, or development window. This had a few effects. - baseline mechanics (favor, minions, etc) and peripherals (stats, netcode) were neglected before release because the maps and models had to look so frikkin good. - post-release modification of said maps and models by the community
