well this is getting more interesting. Its not a knock on Sins for the graphics are totally incridble and I will take a look at it again when the expansions comes full speed. Obviously the licensing is different for each company and this does sound very promising but I can switch my deposit to Empire Total War and download this one (GC) probably Thursday. Maybe I am not giving sins a better chance but some of the reviews like the super techs are a game breaker and I really fail to see how min

Reply to North Carolina trying to tax digital goods in PC Gaming Sins Forums

actually a lot of states are looking at this for revenue growth or more money to waste on pork but anyway......Internet sales are a tricky subject and some states are even "demanding" that you declare your taxes paid when you go across the state for purchases this idea is not new and has been debated for at least 15 years now with some degree of success and mostly failures. Now some states have no state sales tax period (delaware is one) so if the game company is based there or someone from t

Spydyr and Ceylin this is a good point you raised on downloading now and I have DSL. But here is a good question and has happened to me in the past with a text sim boxing game I have. Say Windoze decides to take a snooze break and a hard drive with it. Or I get tired of Vista and go to 7. Now I know the license is embedded in a file on the computer and if that gets damaged or corrupt, the game is useless until you get the license to reacquire it which can take a day or so. Now If I had the CD

Beric from this site if you click on the price its actually $44.95 when you get ready to order which leaves me with yet another question. If I order it here how can I put it on BOTH of my computers? I would really perfer the hard copy overall but haven't been burned on the few downloads I have done so far. I have the game on pre order but can switch that for another game if I get too anxious over this game.

well story line is like comparing Warcraft to Guild Wars two way different story lines but Guild Wars is way better IMHO on the story line. The story line in these "campaign" games are not that big of a deal for me for all I want is set something up and chew bubble gum and kick //// and I'm all out of bubble gum........

Well Ty all for your responses. It was a tough decision but GC does win out. Replayability was a MAJOR factor in this decision. GC seems to have it while SINS for now does not. Graphics is a difference but I am used to Civ 1-4, Master of Orion 1-2 and Alpha Centari and some text sports simulation games so graphics are not a huge factor with me. The campaign factor is also not that big of a deal with me as I mainly play random generated maps and set approiate ai's to battle with and go

Well ty all for your responses. Replayability IS the key. As a vetran of Civilization 1-4 (with three not even worth of bantha fodder) with a vairety degree of Master of Orion 1 and 2 and Alpha Centauri, I am leaning heavily towards Galatic Civ. From everything I have read mods to me are just a way of getting some of the different things (like for me it would be Star Wars, ORIGINAL Battle Star Galatica, Star Trek etc) and I am very interested (if this can be done somehow) to have Cylo

Hi all been playing both the demo games and pretty much enojying both of them. Trying to decide which one to get. Also I have been reading some of these posts and have noticed some very disturbing BUGS mentioned especially with the entrechment add on and the download problems with buying the game online and licensing. Now while the bugs are annoying one problem I have had in the demo version of GC2 is ship building. I know it takes tech to build but
