Multiplayer fun and a weird bug in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Long version (Short version below) Warning GREAT WALL OF T3X7 So... Here is an amazing short story about how, I, crush (Get crushed by) everyone in a free for all with 7 people (Including me). After patching my game yesterday, I decided a short while ago to take another swing at multiplayer. I logged on with no problem, joined a game, and wolla! I was playing a multiplayer match as the TEC. Really early on the most peculiar thing happened to m

[quote who="Tridus" reply="9" id="1929715"]I'm not a fan of randomness. One of the reasons why Starcraft was so successful was the lack of randomness. If you use X, you know what it gives you. You're not going to get weird cases where you get crushed by a tiny fleet because the random number generator didn't like you. If you're intent on making a game focused on strategy, randomness is a bad thing.[/quote] Like runescape... (Shudder) I hit a 9! I h

[quote who="Cykur" reply="10" id="1929764"]Yes the mop up phase is a huge bummer..... The good thing about multiplayer is that a lot of people are good enough to concede when they are obviously beaten so that everyone can move on to play a new game. The bad thing about multiplayer is a few people do everything in their power to draw the game out as long as possible when they have no hope of winning. It can take a while to kill someone when they hole up in their homewo

Dude, Ironclad Games, is entitled to the hard earned fruits of its labor. (Work, not the pregnancy labor. but I guess you could easily consider kids fruits, but... nevermind) I do not remember where, but someone stated that Ironclad has already released 1GB of updates for Sins. Compare that to the average EA game.

[quote who="Starhound" reply="3" id="1921672"] Quoting wbino, reply 1Pirates playable race. That just gave me the idea that shouldn't the Pirate base be hidden in the first place? Right now it's very easy to find and well defended when pirates should be just the opposite. Their base doesn't really need to exist in the game either. I don't think pirates should ever be a playable faction though - how would they win?[/quote] I like having the pirates in an obvious pl

Thanks, for your help. I was thinking about Team Fortress 2, but I wasn't sure. He has issues with controls. I will get him into Halo first. To get him used to the controls. Then I will give him the buddy key for TF2 that I got with the Orange Box. Edit: Nevermind, for some reason the buddy key I had magically dissappeared.. :(

Reply to Getting my Dad into Gaming in PC Gaming Sins Forums

By the way: He wants to get Halo and he is not interested in multiplayer. Also any other games (NO crappy DRM) also work. Should I recommend Sins of a Solar Empire? My goal is to get him into gaming, one way or another.

Getting my Dad into Gaming in PC Gaming Sins Forums

My dad bought a $7?? gaming machine that is awesome yet affordable, but he does not game at all. (Except for Second Life, but wether or not it is a game is debateable) He wants to game, but after him getting crushed by a few bots on Warmonger... Yeah. He is not used to the WASD configuration he naturally wants to go to the arrow keys. But if he is going to get into any shooter he needs to use the WASD configuration. Please help me, gaming with my dad would be a dre

Reply to Red Alert 3? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I can stand this no longer! Why do so many great games have this copy protection? I can feel Red Alert 3 calling me. "buy me! Buy ME!" I might just give in buy a copy and use a cracked version. I just can't boycott all these great games: Bioshock, Crysis, Far Cry 2, Red Alert 3, Spore, etc. Must not give in!

Reply to Noobs quitting - and why wouldn't they? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Instead of a ranking system, why not a way to speed up a game? Like what Demigod has. Sins of a Solar Empire multiplayer is just so lengthy that it makes you want to speed up your death. Maybe like strategic points that make the player owning them really powerful. It could be an option for every multiplayer game. Newb players would lose quickly and they would know why, how, etc. Important questions that need answers in order to improve.</p

I have a long list (Not that long really) of RTS games. If you like them or not depends on your taste. 1. Company of Heroes - It is a very fast paced game, maybe too fast. 2. Supreme Commander 3. Medieval 2 Total War - It is turn based but the battles are RTS. Much slower than Company of heroes. 4. World in Conflict 5. Universe at War 6. Demigod - This game is in development. 7. Endwar - In development You can try the dem
