I remember playing the first X-Com game thinking to myself 'wow if games are as interesting and playable as this now, imagine what they will be like in ten years...'

which is actually what is taking place with Starcraft 2

I personally don't totally agree with you, but just like any industry the game industry wants to make money, so they are going to sell games that they know will sell. Today's gamer(which I hate, nothing but a bunch of whiny, I have to complain about something or I'm not happy, *******s) is what basically has morphed the game industry into what it is.

Because the causal market is basically 80% of the game market, games are being streamlined for them. That is one reason why the PC has gone downhill. The PC gamer is pretty much hardcore gamers.

Piracy has a large part, but not the reason. The xbox 360 is just as pirated as the PC and you don't see anyone mention that.

sorry for the off topic of the thread just had to put my tow cents in.

I like indie companies, they make what they like and if noone likes it then they say screw you we choose what we wish to do. You can come with constructive criticism but we will not bend our game after your dreams and communistic thoughts (everything should be equal meaning no improvements) And i like companies that take a chance at making something new. Yes reverie i am looking at you Its not entirely new but it is in the "newest concepts".

I recently got Starcraft 2, which is awesome. And I'm looking forward to Diablo 3 too, as well as Gears of War 3. I have a few others that just aren't on the tip of my tongue right now.

Heh, congrats on having the first 1,000 posts bold user rank, nickson! I just noticed that, didn't you just to be an elite member?

But yeah, I didn't think Stronghold: Kingdoms looked that good either. But I got talking with one of their official forum moderators who has been helping organize the alpha and he seemed pretty impressed with the game. I think it could be fun for a couple games but I'm not sure what Firefly was thinking since it probably won't bring in much revenue as a freeware title and doesn't seem to be advertised much - I could hardly find any official info on the game. Firefly is an amazing studio and I'm really disappointed that they're making, essentially, a browser game, instead of an epic real MMORTS title. I was looking at some other upcoming MMORTS games like End of Nations earlier today, and it's really sad that they all pour so much money into beautiful cgi but the gameplay itself looks dreadful. I think with Dawn of Fantasy, on the other hand, we are delivering an exciting gameplay experience but we obviously don't have a couple million laying around for cgi cut scenes. With Firefly's experience as a pioneer in the RTS genre and subsequent wealth, they could have been the first studio to deliver both thrilling gameplay and stunning visuals.

Thanks Alex I had the title before I decided to display it I didnt realise the new rank straight away, then I did and wondered why until I saw the thread about them
And yes, I still am an elite member, however I prefer the title 'HordeMaster' dont you? The orcs have my full support

Alex, that was an interesting post And I agree, they really look to be making a browser game, at best I think it may match Travian and such games... And I avoid such games.
However, imagine if Reverie DID have the millions for all the cgi cutscenes... We all know just how great cutscenes are these days, my favourite RTS scene is the startup for Warhammer40k: Dawn of War.... I just love it

Maybe one day...

And I didn't know elite members could overwrite their title, I do like yours though.
