There seems to be a bigger sense of anticipation about QW than 2142.

Common sense?

If you dont want to see the ad's, dont visit the site.

In return for providing all this free content, you are expected to at least view(if not click) the ad's that come with the site, doing otherwise is being at the very least childish.

OH MY GOD, A POP UP, I HAVE TO CLICK AN X BUTTON ONCE - CALL THE ADBLOCK POLICE

Can you see the surprise written on my face?


GJ EA.

This thread is awesome.

To all the 5 year old retards saying "Use adblock!", the reason they need full page pop-up ads is because of inconsiderate fucks like you.

Before you get on your high horse, try thinking things through a little more.

Yeah, it's about as charming as a llama's anus.

I still play EU2 to this day, and the graphics really are timeless, this just looks like something from the late 90's.

Screenshots = wtf?

In 3 hours of playing since patch I've had:

1) Missile passing through vodnik

2)Red tag bug

3)Red text underground

4)Sound problems(i pick up an ammo pack, and I get that ka-chink sound constantly until I die, same sometimes with support weapons fire, constantly eminating from the same guy even though he's not firing)

All this was on a 24/7 karky server

Does steam curse any games released via it, with delays?

Yes after all, it was obvious he meant everyone who liked the game was smoking mushrooms, even though you yourself just said you dont smoke them.
Of course he was serious.

Any more "meaningful" nonsense to contribute?

Just in case you didnt notice, bluesNEWS is primarily a news site, not a discussion forum and I tend to talk about gaming news in places like eurogamer.

ps, you have a profile for a reason, and you see the name on top of posts? It means people can see who the poster is, and not have to look at the end of the post for the name, location and website - dipshit.


@Warping: You're right, neocron became a synonym among most of the people who tried it, for buggyness and bad development(there's now a neocron 2, and still the same bugs that people pointed out in neocron "1" beta are still around).

Uh, SF are one of the most abysmal publishers out there, churning out overhyped under-tested crap, and boning the few dev companies that actually produce good games for them.

Yes, after all - if he doesnt like it, it must be because their's something wrong with him.


Come up with a new one you fool.

Oh yes, using a 6+year old engine, developed for a medieval strategy game spanning over 500 years -> for 2 WW2 only strategy games, and a new WW3 strategy game, all of which only lasts a few decades is awesome.

HoI 1 was mess, it was unplayable at the start due to bugs and poor design, and even with all the patches its still a subpar game.

HoI 2(or 1, if they had have actually invested the time in it) was better, but still didnt work all that well - it certainly wasnt as good as EU or Victoria.
Let's see, some problems with the EU engine and their newer games:

1)World map and how its divided into regions, means there are no tactics and limits strategy
2)Combat while much improved, is still weak
3)Research is a joke
4)Complex economy is a joke
5)Politics is laughable, just play a random game and see how the politics work out.

I could search the paradox forums for another 50 reasons, but it should be pretty obvious just by playing EU and HoI, that the engine is unsuitable, and continuing to milk it instead of putting the money into a new gen engine for EU3/HoI3 is just being cheap.

I didnt read that quote as saying IN ANYWAY there was a likelyhood of a B5 mmo anytime soon.

ps, stealing your article without credit stinks.

OH GOD NO, LET THE BLOODY ENGINE DIE AND STOP ****ING MILKING IT.

Wasnt the XP SP3 news post yesterday as well?

I started with Rebelstar on the Spectrum, graduated to Laser Squad on the C64(The first game I ever played hotseat), and have every x-com game since(including the crap enforcer).

Also own LSN.

This has nothing to do with the topic of course, but since Cheese decided to bring out his e-penis to validate his opinion's, I thought I'd do the same.

Aftershock: If you want x-com, dont bother with it - replay the originals, or give Jagged Alliance 2 a go(or Silent Storm, although it's not as good)

That eve thing is a bit of nice PR, 70k subscribers is nothing(even neocron had about that shortly after release), especially when most players have a minimum of 2 accounts.

Bio are hardly the last great developer...

NWN? shit campaign, only good thing are online user mods(can hardly credit bio with that)

KOTOR: good action rpg, but nothing special

Jade Empire: worse than KOTOR

They needed Black Isle, without them they're crap.

Cant wait to see how mind blowing Dragon Age will be

People, this is bullshit.

Reakktor have a history of promising content that they dont deliver, they have a history of promising free expansions, that turn into "sequels" 2 years later, AND STILL DONT CONTAIN EVERYTHING PROMISED.

They are the worst developer I have ever seen or heard about online, and this is from hanging around on their forums from december 2002 and january 2005.

Stay the hell away, and dont even think of praising this.

Uwe Boll must be stopped!
