This has been a fav web page of mine. But this is it. I'm done. Taking this off my favorites, I won't be back. If I ever want to see promotional crap about 'D' level games I'll be sure to come back.
If the company's track record is anything to go on this will be a buggy disaster which is not fun to play even after repeated patches. I'm done with Stardock and Brad 'If you don't like how we do things go screw yourself' Wardell.
I think it significant that there are so many 're-create classic old games' projects nowadays. Many years ago I coined the phrase 'golden balance' to describe a game that was very playable and just lots of fun. It might be a game where you could learn, say, four spells. Of course the sequel turns out and you can learn eight spells. Or sixteen, better yet! No, not really. I think most games these days come nowhere near that 'golden balance' of playability. That's why this pre-occupation with twenty year old games that WERE FUN. We're nostalgic for having fun playing a game. That's a sad commentary on today's game developers.
Amplitude Studios comes bearing gifts. Parting the darkness at a peaceful time they say those offerings, packaged as they are in this third free add-on to their Endless Space 4X strategy game, named Lights of Polaris, are the produce of the work of Expert Light Fabricators. Seriously? Who writes this stuff?
