Sins of a Solar Empire 2: The Koranth Event And then have a story told in the game, i.e. a campaign (and new race :))!

[quote who="HornedBeast" reply="14" id="2468124"]What a beta... absolutely loving it!!! Can't recommend this enough to people on the fence![/quote] [e digicons]*_*[/e] Why would you recommend playing this over Entrenchment or vanilla? As the poster before you said the beta of Diplomacy has no diplomacy. The only improvements so far are the pirates strength and I have spotted 1 or 2 nice moves from the AI. The screens

I agree DA looks fantastic. Oculus looks like they've taken a nice model and he's being moved around like a plastic toy soldier. When he slams the ground it looks bad, the whole way he is animated feels rush job and I guessed it was because he wasn't finished.

I'm afraid I can't shed light on this issue however I would advise that if you are getting it often that you and wheoever you are playing with make sure you close down Sins and boot the game again on each new game. It is likely to reduce the chance of out of synch errors as it could be residue from previous games causing issues.

Left 4 Dead 2 > everything else. The fact that you were playing BF Heroes though screams to me Team Fortress 2. Buy the Orange pack and you will be in FPS heaven for a while at least.

[quote who="Geetop" reply="40" id="2464162"]I do not like balloons notes either - just do not believe it is as unreasonable as you feel (because I do use Impulse). I do agree that customers should be told in the balloon that it can be shut off (at least the first time that it appears).[/quote]<

Just for info MMO's (Massively Multiplayer Online) are games such as World of Warcraft (MMORPG), Planetside (MMOFPS?) etc. Demigod, Killing Floor, Sacred 2 do not have a 'Massive' amount of people playing them together, Demigod can have up to 10. Killing Floor is a lot of fun, it's very shallow in what it does, but what it does it does well. It's worth the price if you enjoy this kind of game. Basically it's a slow multiplayer horror sur

[quote who="Zoomba" reply="25" id="2463484"]If a feature is defaulted to off, then no one ever knows it exists. Defaulting to on with the simple option to disable is the best balance between awareness and choice. If you really really hate it, turning it off is simple. [/quote] You heard of e-mail? You have mine and anyone elses who uses Impule. Just send a message to everyone selling the feature.

Frogboy if you want to compete with your main competitor I would advise you to not make the pop up default on. Yesterday I almost looked for the setting to not start the Impulse Tray icon on Windows start up, the last thing I thought was to look for an option to turn off the pop up, for once thing I didn't asume there would be one, and secondly because you added this annoyance to my PC without asking me how many more 'features' like this are you going to slide in there?

Quick question then; the best place for Refineries is where there are (non neatral) mines in and directly next to the gravity well you plan to build in?

I'm mildly excited about it for several reasons: I'm a MASSIVE Aliens fan. There was talk of a co-op mode, even a co-op survival mode, and if that is delivered I might do a sex wee. The graphics look fabulous, the realisation of the Aliens and Colonial Marines really captures the feel of Aliens the best movie in the series. Mildly apprehensive because: I watched a movie of the Predator play and he took a trophie at every kill and the anim

[quote who="joasoze" reply="70" id="2448144"]Blood Bowl has gotten me interested though. Does anyone have a pdf manual that I could have a look at or is it available online somewhere. Still a bit wary about me not knowing American Football[/quote] Not sure if this will work but here is the tabletop rules: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProdu

[quote who="Hollow Man" reply="17" id="1675066"]Ron, you can play Steam games w/o an Internet connection, but you need the 'net initially in order to register the game. After doing so, you can disconnect from the Internet, run Steam, Steam will note that you're offline (as long as you have the settings checked properly to cache your user information on your PC), and let you play anyway. It took Valve a long time to get this working right, but now it does. It was a mess for years.

I have had no issues with lag, much less than I have in some other games anyway. Certainly if you host Left 4 Dead locally with just 8 players it lags to hell but this plays 18 players easily. The worst issue is that about 1 in 20 games the host needs to migrate to someone else and you get about a 5-10 second pause. Very rarely also you can't connect to the person who becomes the host and you get booted. Playing with friends is easy as pie, just like the console vers

The game is superb on many levels. Cinematically the single player Campaign is unequaled by other First Person Shooters even on the PC. The graphics are gorgeous, sounds and atmosphere are also spot on. Overall it's short, you can replay it on harder difficulties but if you will never use the multiplayer content of this game the asking price is very high for what you would get. The 2 player extra missions are superb fun to do with a friends, I really recommend you gr

[quote who="joasoze" reply="62" id="2446409"]If I find a used version of Blood Bowl or get if cheaply somewhere online, I might give it a try sometime. I used to love Speedball way back when I was young. But you have to promise me that I dont have to know ANYTHING about American Football (I hardly know what a touchdown is).[/quote] Be careful with used copies, not sure if the serial code is attached to the online account... Blood Bowl has a hell of a lot more in

[quote who="joasoze" reply="59" id="2446082"]I took a look at it and I dont think its my cup of tea. Its based on American Football and as a European thats a big turnoff. The reviews are mixed as well.[/quote] I wont try and push you in to something you wouldn't like but honestly your reasons for being put off are the wrong reasons. The American football theme is super lite, the main theme is fantasy characters getting together under the premise of scoring touchdowns and then kn

They coudn't do it like this, the community in general would take the move badly. If they released an expansion with new Demigods and maps and a lot more Single player content I'd pump money in to it. If it was just new Demis and maps then I'd hardly pay anything for it.

Take a look at Blood Bowl. Been playing since release and I'm more addicted now than ever. My advice, read the table top game rule book, play a few games then get yourself in one of the player organised leagues such as Orca Cola Championship and you will have a blast. Forget the real time game they included with it, totally pointless, go straight to turn based.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="53" id="2444500"]You guys want to hear some insane statistics? 1. Right now there are 722 people with the demo version who are logged in but only 86 people who are actually in a game with the demo version. This continues the weird "people log in but lurk for hours" thing we see with the full version. No one knows why but they are definitely logged in with the game running and just lurking.[/quote] I wonder if a certain amount of them are trying t

[quote who="CelMare" reply="19" id="2441125"]this is what happens if one is not able to understand the reason why some people are crying. they just pretend they only do it because others do the same. seems to be far beyond your abilities to accapt that the reason that so many people are complaining is not mass-hysteria![/quote] Mass-hysteria isn't quite the angle I was going with. It's more a similar psychology to moral panic, people read it enough from other users, don't resear

Oh man the whole ending section of the game was epic, enjoyed it even more than the first one. Now to finish off the spec ops and do some multiplayer, glad I have tomorrow off work :)

The didn't even bother installing Ready to Play to get them so £0.00.

First question which needs to be asked I'm afraid, what version of the game are you running?
