Clans are result of a healthy online game :) Sins is one of my fav games ever made - but both SP and MP need some heavy attention... SP - obviously need story and campaign MP - needs what i said above + more Now, of course you are right as well - some technical issues and glitches need to be fixed too but this will not result in masses coming back to the game... Only major update (perhaps expansion or sequel) with heavily boosted MP experience will

Back to Amiga! ;) EDIT: Oh, and another reason why PC games are dying is operating system itself... WINDOWS is SHIT!!! In near future you will be seeing more Mac based titles which is fine with me since i moved to Mac almost 1 year ago :D

Game is not dead - it is hibernating... I will say the same thing that i already said dozen or so times since the release... If you want healthy MP online community in Sins with current MP options this is simply not possible... Following things are needed at very least: 1. Clan support (via various ladders) 2. Claning initiative (via various, cups, competitions, leagues etc...) 3. Competitive MP game mode (something where round lasts no longe

PC Gaming is indeed dying and there are few reasons for it but main one is this: Production values are growing and most developers / publishers find it hard to return the investment if they are developing only for the PC, therefore, most are targeting other platforms as well... Now, problem is that true PC game cant be played on consoles hence tremendous amount of nerfing and simplifying to make it control pad adaptable... Direct result is that PC game isn't PC game anymore but more of

[quote]My first thoughts on using a G3 iBook and OSX Tiger were "OMFG, why have I been using Windows so long" (16 years).[/quote] Exactly... I am only recent Mac convert and when i first tried Leopard my initial reaction was exactly the same... What was the point in using Windows for so long!?!?! Crazy shit... :)

[quote]I use a MacBook Pro, the first generation made. I bought it the month they first came out so I have the old ATI X1600 graphics card. The newest cards in the MacBook Pro's are much much better (some model of the Nvidia 8600, a great card). My computer runs Sins at highest graphics on highest resolution (1440x900) with no performance loss except when I scroll all the way in, and pan around during HUGE battles. The game runs BEAUTIFULLY.So far, the game never crashed. Neither has my Windows

I am running Sins on Intel Mac and i can confirm that it runs about 5x better than on my PC of same spec... Whatever you spend on Mac is worth it - trust me :) I explained this in another thread but i will say again... By having Mac you are essentially having 2 things: 1. real computer with real OS for all your productivity and browsing needs 2. gaming console in shape of WiN OS Of course, if you are using your computer ju

Great OP ! I am still to try latest patch (installing it today!) but generally speaking i support all other things mentioned by one and only CommanderAdama (shit! - nearly wrote Obama...) :)

Sins of Free Space! Love it :) Perhaps one day...

[quote]We're thinking this Summer to look at setting up an official multiplayer tournment with cash and prizes. There would be team games and individual games (duels). The winner of a given game would submit the replay to the tournment server for moderators to evaluate. If it's successful enough, we'd build a system to do these occasionally and get sponsors and such. The question is, would you guys be interested in this?[/quote] Y E S Frog - really no need

Not to worry... Soon we will all be recognized with ladders rankings and brand new system lads are working on :)

[quote]Not possible -- you can't fit this game inside such a small time period without turning it into an unplayable click fest![/quote] I beg to differ :)

Fair point in OP... I also think that Sins deserve much better online presence. I mean we have amazing game here - fact! ICO is rather solid too - fact! It sold (and is still selling) enough for some chunky online fun - fact! Yet of course it isnt quite there yet... I made few threads and posts regarding this before but it's worth repeating :) In my opinion two major reasons (although more can be squeezed in) are: 1. Lack of claning support and lack of competi

Plenty of such threads but i agree that can't be enough of thanks to SD / IC so here we go again... Danke! weeeee xD

Only one step away from nirvana and total perfection... [B]Mac support![/B] Once you reach that step ill consider you as divine :p

cool news :) love them in fact! but news that followed (check out the latest update on home page) are the REAL news for us! awesome in any and every case! well done and keep it up :)

OMFG! Have you just made my day or what... In fact i cant beleive what am i reading yet... Hold on... 1st of April - NOT! So it must be all true! Thanks guys! Yes please! Keep it up! eeeeeeeeeee :D

I would love some sort of claning / competitive initiative via ICO... I know its hard and it carries plenty of issues but my feeling is that online aspect needs to be boosted with couple of things: 1. as mentioned claning initiative that could take form of simple clan ladder to start with... (i know its not simple but hey...) 2. some sort of competitive mode up to 5v5 which kinda guaranties round to finish withing 45 minutes time frame... It could be shared resources i

Oh... Now we have X and XX Cool - we should game some time soon :)

ROFL! Genius eeeeeeeee :LOL:

Exactly what we are talking about in few other threads... Sounds great and hope it works out! Handle - same as my forum name :)

[quote]WTF do you mean by clanning innitiative / support?[/quote] By claning initiative i mean something like official SD / IC organized CUP :) Winner gets a T-Shirt! :p By claning support i mean ICO feature to create a clan in game as well as have some sort of clan ladder... Simple really :) And no - time will not fix claning scene in Sins - there is much more needed here if we want healthy and evolving online / clan community...

[quote]Hi guysI've been trying the demo and I kinda like it so far.But there is one thing I have been thinking about. Is this game strong in multiplayer like many normal RTS's are?? Or does the focus really lie most at the singeplayer of this game?I hope for the former[/quote] No one really answered guys question properly... No this is not competitive game! It has SP and yes it has MP too but there is fair few things missing from the game to be categorized as "competit
