I can tell you that while the actual shooting part of video games will do nothing to prepare you for weapon usage, they can actually simulate important things people don't think about; such as proper sight/target alignment, bullet drop, ammunition counting in your head, and ammo conservation...

I know it seems like it's the journalists' fault for saying a CS/CoD player went on a murder rampage in Norway but this time they're justified in this declaration for one very simple reason: He wrote about his obsession with computer gaming, advised others on using video games as an excuse to...

I can't lie, of all the fighters I flew against none were as maddening evil as the Jalthi. No matter what I was flying those 6 laser cannons firing at once would annihilate your shields. Factor in that they ALWAYS threw at least 3-4 of them at once at you when they showed up and you were in...

I can't be the only one who noticed just how gigantic Devereaux's hand is holding that rifle.

Soon as I saw this thread I immediately swung by GoG and grabbed it. I adore this game.

Sadly it should be pointed out that Kotaku is the equivalent of TMZ for video games. It's a delightful soufflé of bad writing, poor editing, and sanctimonious arrogance.

Every match had at least one, and I mean at least, who was using both aimbots and speed hacks.

Bought it on PC and while I initially enjoyed it the game was quickly ruined multiplayer-wise by hacks. It was so bad that most lobbies were empty within the first 2 weeks of the game being out and I haven't ever bothered playing it again. Nice idea but no policing whatsoever. They relied...

Ok, I'm just not going to bother with the KS version of the games. Tried everything mentioned and it just doesn't want to work so I went for the old DOS versions instead. Followed the instructions as per the guides and ran into this when I entered wc3 after mounting: "EMS driver is not VCPI...

Ahhhh....I remember upgrading my 286 12Mhz comp. $100 for 1 meg of RAM (4 juicy 256k sticks) just so I could finally play Police Quest 3. All on that massive 20 MB hard drive. Read the DEC 1994 issue, there's a big old 3 pager on Wing Commander 3. Even in print John-Rhys Davies steals the...

I wish developers could understand the meaning of streamlining. There are things you do to a game to ensure smooth functionality on a console and then there is just straight up making the game as mentally uninteresting as possible. Let's take a look at Wing Commander for example. This is a...

I tried your suggestions and at least now the graphics are all nice like I remembered them. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck in the joystick department. I'm about to just try a non-KS version and DOSBox it. I NEED MY WC FIIIIIIIX!!!! I'm getting close to just crushing up my discs and...

What's surprising is just how professional it's written. No cheap snark or attempts at pretentiousness. Shame that doesn't exist now in game journalism.

No, it's not the DOS version of WC. I stated I was using Kilrathi Saga but AD said to post a DOSBox config file. I figured maybe KS was using DOSBox to operate in a non-Win95 environ or something. To reiterate just what my situation is this is the current scenario: Using Win x64 & Saitek...

I tried that after you mentioned it but it doesn't even recognize it. I clicked on Calibrate and nothing happened. I can run the Saitek calibration just fine in Windows and it still works in games like X3. As I'm using the Kilrathi Saga version I couldn't find anything DOSBox-related but...

I had to go with WC1 in a combination of A) nostalgia and B) I couldn't stand the way Eisen & Blair saluted each other. It's something that has always ALWAYS bugged me in military shows and movies. A salute should be simple, snappy, and not limp-wristed. Guess it's just the vet in me.

I'm still trying to figure out the game having just bought X3. It's pretty and all that, but it's like playing a single-player EvE. Really in depth but if you're looking for a story or something to draw you in that isn't solely a personal construct then you need to look elsewhere. I'd...

First off, let me say thanks for all your help Danr. Ok, after going through this thing a bunch of times I'm noticing something rather interesting in that none of the WC games will recognize there's a joystick attached. I can get the mouse & keyboard to work for WC 1 & 2, but for WC 3 it...

I'm currently running Windows 7 64 and using a Saitek X52 HOTAS EDIT: Also, I have tried running it standard and in Windows 95 compatibility mode. No change when running in compatible.
