I am not interested in this game. I was excited for Kings and Castles, but I guess they are no longer making it. We need companies to make RTS games other than Relic and Blizzard. There are so few.

Tribes Ascend is an example of a great Free to Play model game. As long as it is not Pay to win, free to play is a great model. Some people have money, and some people have time. This model lets them all play so the game will have a huge population. The people that pay will have more people to play with making their purchase well worth it. If it is done well, a player should receive the entire contents of a game for the same $50-60 that they would spend buying that game.

News Comments > No Mass Effect 3 on Steam; Requires Origin

EA is trying to sell their own games on their own platform just like Steam does for Half Life 2 and Source games. You cannot buy the Source games on other platforms. I think competition is great for gamers and it will keep the prices down. Let them all offer GREAT deals for your eyeballs. While you may have 3 services installed, you do not have to run them in the background. Just run them when you want to play their game.

You're going to pass because you're guessing a game you never played won't equal a previous game you played? Weird.

I am going to pass on release day. I said I may still get it at less of a price. Enjoy your game.

I am going to pass. No battlefield game has equaled 1942. I may consider it on sale, but not as a full price new release.

Will there be an upgrade path? I also wonder about the pricing.

News Comments > Trion on Free RIFT Transfers
11. Re: Trion on Free RIFT Transfers Jul 5, 2011, 13:41 javajeff
 
I played WOW with my son when it first came out, and had two accounts for 3 years. I left when they started charging for character moves since I thought it was the same thing as paying for customer support. I think this should be free since the entire premise of the game is to have fun, and the server structure is their infrastructure. No one knows how fun it will be until they play. I took time off from MMOs and, I now play Rift.

Remember the trash he put out after TA called TA Kingdoms?

Chris Taylor did not create TA Kingdoms. It was created by Clayton Kauzlaric.

What they did has the entire internet talking about it, so it is brilliant. Their current clientele is very small compared to what they need, so it was likely worth the risk of losing some people. Gog.com has extremely high Professionalism since that is what marketing is all about. Using a radical approach to attract people is fine, and they said people would be able to access their games again on Thursday.

I have no problem with what they did, because I do not trust any company. I am at the age where I just do not care or get worked up about what they do. I bought 1 game from them, downloaded it and backed it up so if they ever went out of business I would be in great shape.

The pictures of food in menus and on boxes always look better than the actual product. Disclaimers are now placed on everything stating that the product may differ in some way...etc. We live in a deceitful marketing society where nothing is like it seems.

Well, I'll probably buy this since I really enjoy supcom2. That said, I miss the Total Annihilation days of free weekly dlc.

How do you know they are charging for it?

I enjoy Supcom2 more than Supcom1 because of the improved economy. Super complex economies are not that fun to me. I like combat and lighter economy so I can focus on strategy rather than having the best "build order." If you want the build order to separate players, then that is where you like to compete. I prefer the battles, tactics, and overall management. Two resources and a bank like system is fine, and still allows for raiding and other tactics.

I am not interested in MMO in my RTS. I will pass on Age of Cartoons. I was a big fan of AOE, but the graphics alone lost me. The rest of it just sounds bad. All I would need is an updated graphics engine for AOK. Innovation is way overrated in PC games.

I do not plan to buy it due to steam. Steam is the worst DRM because it does not allow you to have two games that you own running at the same time. So I would not play SupCom 2 while my son wants to play Left 4 Dead 2 for example.

"gimped jets, gimped rockets, gimped speed - now with AUTO TARGETING!!"

The auto targeting is for a short period of time and not the full health of a player, and it has a cooldown. The character is customizable, so you can put more points into shields and armor if you sense players are putting more points into auto targeting. Furthermore, players that go for cover while stay alive since the auto targeting releases.

It is a fun game, but I do agree with you that it is no Tribes.

"And it's box art."

I agree with this. If you remember Conquest Frontier Wars, it had a white box. Nothing showcases the depth and mystery of space more like the color white (sarcasm). I thought it was a well done game, but the marketing blunders really hurt it. It needed a box cover that conveyed space for a sci-fi space RTS game.

News Comments > WoW Character Re-Customization
13. Re: WoW Character Re-Customization Dec 11, 2008, 16:52 javajeff
 
I left them a long time ago because I had to pay for customer support.

1) The server system is their design and should be free to move your character if you are not having fun on a server. You get very little information when choosing and should not have to pay to move.
2) Name change should also be free. If you pay a service fee to play a game and have limited time, you should not have to start a new character on a new server every time you need something changed.
3) Appearance change should be free and part of the realism. You should be able to change your hairstyle at least for free since it is realistic. If anything, there should be an in game barber that you pay with in game money for a makeover.

I left because I could not get a free move for my two accounts since I was unhappy with the server. I will NEVER pay for customer support for a game that I pay monthly service fee for.

Maybe they are trying to sell games at $50 before the holidays on the promise that there will be support with their purchase.
