    Star Ruler 2 Review - Unique in Nearly Every Way

    That's correct. Once a flagship gets in range for combat, its support ship behaviors kick into effect and your support ships order themselves around, acting according to the behaviors you've set for them in their designs. Quill didn't make much use of the support ship behavior system in his...

    id Software Praises "Always On" in Diablo 3

    I choose not to play D2's online section because it's just worse than SP in a functional manner of speaking. I get less where I get more in Singleplayer. I get less lag, I get harassed less, I don't have to pay attention to my messages. I don't have to care at all about bots or any such...

    id Software Praises "Always On" in Diablo 3

    Given that he seems utterly incapable of stepping outside his shoes for even the briefest period of time, I have to agree with you Baresark: It is a lost cause. He didn't even bother responding to my last post. Instead he just called singleplayers "entitled". Because I'm not going to...

    id Software Praises "Always On" in Diablo 3

    Despite lots of statements in this here and elsewhere to the contrary you're actually right: I never played the game online. I only had friends who did. And that's what they complained about all the time. I played a *lot* of singleplayer UT and UT2k3. Not so much Counterstrike. That was...

    id Software Praises "Always On" in Diablo 3

    You just can't accept things outside your experience. My 100+ hours in Diablo 2 and my current Nezeramontias run on Hardcore with players 8 and PlugY obviously don't count to you anyway though, right? Diablo 2 was a singleplayer game with an online mode like many games of its time. Internet...

    id Software Praises "Always On" in Diablo 3

    As a developer in said industry: No, it is not your fault. It is the publishers and developers' fault for starting it and it is their fault for continuously escalating it to the point of ridiculousness. I have over $200 in games that I cannot legally play because I have lost the manuals and...

    Why are people freaking out over the "Always Online" aspect of Diablo 3?

    This is false. Starcraft 2 has a single 'call home'. Diablo 3 'streams' from the server you're playing from. All the monsters, the AI, and so on are not performed on your machine. This means that, yes, if you have high ping you'll jump around the screen; your HP will take huge hits out of...

    Star Ruler

    Jark212: Anything we can do to help? Have you tried reinstalling, updating your video drivers, doing a verification on your game's files if you're on Steam? Possibly aggressive anti-virus software?

    Star Ruler Studio Really Hates GameStop

    We would have been just fine with launching further games on Impulse; they were great to us. We however do not wish to partner with Gamestop, so we had to make the decision to end our contract. There are other legal reasons involved here but none of which I can publically divulge. We...

    No problem, Andy. I'm sure everyone's got the message now. :)

    Star Ruler Studio Really Hates GameStop

    As well as Desura, and Iceburg Interactive. There are some parts of that decision that we legally cannot discuss. EDIT: I am indeed and thank you. :)

    Star Ruler Studio Really Hates GameStop

    We're on a number of distributors other than Impulse. (GamersGate, Steam, Desura, Iceburg Interactive) Also as a pre-emptive: We had no choice but to act immediately. Legally, there was no other recourse if we didn't want to partner.

    Purchases you instantly regretted.

    Turn-based? I'm not sure you actually played the game if you believe it to be TBS. Typo? :s Also, I'd recommend checking out the latest patches if you haven't; the game has been significantly updated since launch with 11 major patches (with patch 12 coming out in the next few days most likely).
