What's the final verdict on this one? There were some really mixed reactions at launch. I like classic, base building RTS's, which I believe this is not.. but if it's still good for other reasons I'd consider.

Sigh, okay, I need to get around to installing Consortium and playing through it. Yet another gog sale game that has just gathered dust in the queue.

You know the queue is winning when the sequel(s) are out or almost out, and you haven't even installed the first one.

I thought they didn't meet their funding goal.

...a touch of MOBA with your FPS

'Get it out! OUT! Get it out of here! You're stinking up the whole room! OUT!'

I can't think of anything more boring and uninteresting, honestly. FPS, maybe, MOBA? OUT!

Another 4x space strategy game that misses the point. The AI is some of the stupidest AI I have seen in a 4x space strategy. There was better AI in MOO3 which is rather sad.

There are a lot of positive reviews on steam, but they all make excuses for all things the game lacks and the multitude of bugs it still has.

It is possible they will make some improvement to the AI with future fixes, but we all know that is a crap shoot.

I still don't want an AMD/ATI card.

Not sure why I'd pay to have to wait for fixes for practically every game ever.

"Man I sure saved a bunch and stuck it to those nVidia-tards!"

"Cool man! Let's go play some <insert new game here>"

"Yeah...I wanna but I gotta wait for a fix first...can we play something old...er?"

Do you really not see the irony of posting this commentary in a topic about a Nvidia driver fix for a brand new game they had some release driver issues with? AMD has a terrible track record with this stuff, but it is mainly in their history as you don't hear much about newer games having issues, and when they do they are resolved pretty quick it seems. NVidia are the ones who have been screwing things up on the software side for a while. Geforce Experience is a fucking mess still, and their drivers are up to almost a half-gig now. Shadowplay/share is still a broken mess. Their installers are starting to unravel because of typos and registry errors with older drivers, to the point that using something like DDU is necessary to even install newer versions of geforce experience and other elements of their "software package".

Both companies are shit in the software/driver category right now. Yeah, they work.. but there is a lot of BS involved with either of them anymore if you look at the whole picture.

Wahhhh. Waaaahhh never changes.

Unlike this series.

Testing a so called gamers rig that has HD 4000 graphics is hilarious, about the only thing you can play with that is maybe tetris. You would think someone at HARDOCP would have caught that mistake.

I dunno, I think the big news here is that a hard network connection is better for gaming than a wifi connection! Who knew! We can thank the quality journalists at PCGamer for this breaking news!

Maybe it will yank our "wireless VR ftw" proponents back into reality though.

Sometimes a classic game is classic because its design transcended the limitations of the era. Without those limitations, due to the advance of technology, those games would just look and play terribly. This is that game...

Seriously, someone who knows: How much work is it to switch from one API to another?

BANDAI NAMCO says this does not make it a free-to-play game, apparently trying to avoid the stigma this carries.

Gee, if there was just some other word they could use to describe a smaller section of the game that you can download for free and try the game out. I guess it's a shame that the English language simply lacks the vocabulary to describe such a scenario.

This game is a good deal at $10.80 on the Monthly Humble Bundle if you previously grabbed a bundle and never subscribed. The DLC is pretty annoying because most of it is in the game, just not accessible to you unless you pay...which would be fine except the cost of DLC at this point exceeds the base game on sale and it's a bit P2W if you want to maximize your PVP potential.
