Entitlement? I demand to know what that means!

Quick someone create a politics sub forum! Here in Canada we just started Federal elections so I'm ready to go.

I believe only slave owners should be allowed to vote. In addition, making the world a better place by killing anyone who isn't a member of your church is the highest calling anyone can have, and those who do so shall be absolved of all sins.

In addition, making the world a better place by killing anyone who is too narrow minded.

That clip is hilarious. Nice to see what you 2 look like, it seems you guys are not used to talk in front of the camera.

I prefer real people with real knowledge about what they are doing instead of some slick marketing type person trying to sell the product.

I have high hopes for FE knowing that the right people are working on it.

 

Say, is the release date still Q2? I'd like to know when it'll come out.

Yeah....those marketingtypes who talk alot but don't actually SAY anything makes me lose faith in humanity. I can't believe that they don't understand that they're NOT useful!

 

There isn't a releasedate. In the textinterview by Strategyinformer Kael said there isn't one. They plan to go (open)beta around spring though.

Hahahahaha Stardock republicans!  What a fucking crazy thing to even think about.  Who gives a shit what political party the guys who make my video games are?  Really, shit, so fucking ridiculous.  I might give a shit if they were crazy Fascist or Nazi or NAMBLA.  The world is filled with people who give a shit about the least important crap.


Yea, it's amazing just how polarized people get on this stuff.  For the record, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, I'm an independent and not political in my day to day life.  But I will debate politics, religion, hardware, OSes, etc.  Worst flame wars I've ever been in were the OS/2 vs. Windows flame wars. 

The other thing that amazes me is that those people who feel they got burned on War of Magic get Fallen Enchantress for free. And to be fair, War of Magic is a pretty decent game and has been for a long time.  The entitlement attitude...ugh.

 

Yea, it's one thing to think the WoM game was bad, or that that it was unfinished, or blah, blah, blah.  But the one complaint that has really made me hate humanity a little more is that Stardock if screwing people by making FE a stand alone game instead of a "true" expansion.  Even though they are getting it for fucking FREE or discounted.  That shit boggles the mind.  Brad, I know you refrain from telling people to go fuck themselves, but really, some of us deserve it from time to time.  I know I do

Crude..But quite effective, Lord Xia. And so very true.

Crossthread from FE: Weapons...  Lord Xia is a cross of all three weapon damage types... Blunt, cutting and piercing!  And that is why the most uber magical weapon in the game should be Xia's Rejoinder... a two handed weapon with a spearpoint at one end and a hammer and axe blade at the other...   Pure awesomeness! (like his posts!).

Darn it... I should have waited for the FE Design-a-weapon contest!!

Yeah, we need Lord Xia to make an appearance the EWOM or FE games somehow. Like Lerooooooooooooooooooy Jenkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins.

2 points.

1) Too right - let's keep politics and religion out of gaming if we can. It has no bearing on someone's gaming cred what-so-ever.

2) Not sure if I agree with your appraisal of the game as it stands. Speaking as someone who has never got through a game (and I've now tried on 5 totally different systems all posted in detail elswhere on this forum) I can't agree with this one.

I read some people playing it - even finding it challenging. I've yet to find a challenge - though perhaps that was coming after the game crashed sometimes who knows. I was always on top simply taking advantage of the AI's lack of "oomph" and it's inability to build to a plan, execute much in the way of magic or adapt to none standard or ultra aggresive tactics. But I guess this is not a problem for some.

Entitled? If you consider I am not entitled to a challenging game that I can play through without a crash, then I guess that clears up some thoughts I've been having.

But politics/religion? Let's keep clear of that

Thank you for making it clear that you're only capable of communicating through strawman arguments. And people wonder why developers rarely bother to talk to the player base of games. Sheesh.
