*correction* As far as I am aware the Ironclad license allows you to install the game on 2 computers ([i]which you own[/i]). In other words, [u]not[/u] on your computer at home and on your brother's computer at his home.

I LOL'd at this thread......really OP? I mean here you say: [quote] I see the reviews so very low score and many owners of the game also seem to hate it.Then I see alot of players saying they are enjoying the game and having fun.So the reviews are going from low 3's to 8+'s.What is the truth out there??? [/quote] So OP, didn't you just get more 3-8 opinions because.......wait for it........people have differing points of view and

I have many more PCs than Macs in my home and I am still much more PC-focused simply due to my business needs. However, I feel that Macs serve my family's entertainment needs much better than an equivalent PC solution One of the Apple TV's purposes (for me) is to be the hub for all pictures and music we need to view/use. I found it an unecessary step to sync tv shows and/or movies since we watch and delete many recorded programs

I have an original Apple TV (and thanks to the limitations of the new device I'll be keeping my old one forever.....hehe). Anyway, I love the device. Renting/buying movies and tv shows is super easy and eventhough mine has a 160GB HD installed in it, I only use the build-in HD to store my pictures and music, TV shows and Movies I stream from one of two iMac computers also on the local network. I also run an eyeTV 250 plus device in tandem with a turbo.264

@ Bishop149, 1. Why shouldn't you have to register (ie. prove you own the game) in order to get patches for it? Give me one legitimate reason why not? How about the devs wanting to make sure their "support" goes to those entitled to it? 2. Impulse is not a "steam-clone" since STEAM requires a connection to be established in order to play *most* steam enabled games where with Impulse you only need to have it installed to get updates a

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="18" id="2768873"] Quoting Jubreau, reply 16 Yeah, because you and your community represent the entirety of Steam users. Not at all, but his remark seemed flippant and without basis considering that he didn't indicate having issues with this particular game in offline-mode and was seemingly just letting off "steam" at steam. A troll-remark begets a troll-response afterall! hehe [/q

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="40" id="2784182"]I bought this a week ago and I am very impressed. Its extremely addictive and the AI is better than I expected. It adapts to what you do. I havn't played multiplayer yet but there is noone in my region anyway.

[quote who="Melamine" reply="660" id="2780975"]The primary reason behind 2K's decision to use Steamworks: Piracy. All other features are secondary to Steam's ability to reduce piracy. Steam is the most beloved DRM system on the market. Its fans zealously defend it, the press adores it, and while publishers would prefer to keep more control over their products, Steam is a potent DRM system that doesn't generate negative press, publishers welcome it.

I guess where I personally have a "disconnect" with the general sentiment of this and other anti-software-license-to-use-instead-of-own threads is the fact that I see video games as "consumables". Before you flame me, hear me out. I have two simple points to make. 1. As much as I loved (and I truly [i]loved[/i]) the story of games like Homeworld etc. and enjoyed absolutely every second of even the grind of resource-gathering in order to make sur

Yes, the campaign is definitely the game's "tutorial" and as such starts soooo slowly and seems to drag at times. It does however do its intended job (teaching one the game) very well. I find the harder AI is actually very well suited for this game. What I mean is, in so many other games [b]hard[/b] AI just seems to mean [i]cheating[/i] AI, but in RUSE......well the point of RUSE is [b]deception[/b] afterall so hard/cheating AI is a good fit! ;) <
