Descent Freespace has a sad atmosphere for 90% of the game. The music really set the mood well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSYwXhp-bVk

I loved the yellow filter from the start. I hope a mod comes out for this game to put it back in. :)

Agreed. I'd love to see Stringer... I mean Idris in the role. He'd do a great job.

Heh, the comments section on that Steam post really says it all.

It remains to be seen how painful they will make the experience of earning the ship though. That's how mobile developers have forced people into micro-transactions. With the huge price tag, the "earn it" method will have to be a pretty ridiculous gauntlet to keep those who purchased it happy...

Honestly, at this point I think Star Citizen is just as bad for PC gaming as it could be good. It's demonstrated the pent-up demand for a genre, and it's shown the money that can be made in the PC space (as if Steam hadn't done that already). Those are good things. However, it's also shown...

I put in $45 initially as a show of faith in a genre I love, and was sad to see dead. It wasn't the Freespace 3 that I really want, but I was hoping Squadron 42 could be something close. The more I learned about it after the KS campaign ended, and the more money they've raked in, the more...

Yeah, I'm cool with them touching up the special effects. But please, no CGI in the theatrical cuts. If they want to do a side-by-side release again, that's fine. But us "purists" don't like the philosophy of adding tons of visual clutter to a scene to "enhance it" like the animals in the...

But for your point to be accurate, you still have to prove that the energy difference between Germany and an equivalently-sized U.S. state is due to a disparity in high-energy industry/business, which you haven't done. My contention was that there are plenty of high-energy point sources in...

lol, nationalistic fervor. I live in Colorado. Your comparison didn't make much sense. I agree with your second sentence, but it was not clear at all from your post that I replied to.

I don't really want to get involved in the nationalistic dick measuring contest that's starting to break out in this thread, but you're delusional if you think Germany is some backwater. It's just a technologically advanced as the U.S. and probably has a healthier manufacturing sector all things...

The theatrical versions don't have CGI. And they shouldn't in this re-release.

I disagree. Texan energy usage is part of the Texan lifestyle. You are talking about standard of living, not lifestyle. And yeah, many European countries have a similar standard of living while using much less energy (e.g. Denmark).

Well, we don't have it quite right either. We could maintain our standard of living and use quite a bit less energy. But I'd argue that, for better or worse, conspicuous consumption has been central to the American lifestyle since WW2.

Furthermore, Texas, with the energy usage of Brazil, has 1/8th the population. American lifestyle necessitates American energy usage. It's not complicated.
