The copy protection has been completely removed with patch v1.1 for the DVD version. Digital download versions retain the copy protection. -- Wikipedia I played the demo, thought it was pretty good. But they were having a lot of trouble at the time with the servers that were supposed to authorize your copy of the retail. So I just let it go by and never looked back. The Tages DRM as they have it set up is very restrictive. There is a 3 activation limit. After that you have to call Ub

Yes, left a comment on your video that this is what the Vasari are running from! The other EVE mod project got permission from CCP I seem to remember. Do that and I think the mod will be popular. Different mod for each faction. At the top of the research tree. Seems like this would be a better uber weapon for ending drawn out games than interstellar cannons.

Slashdot just discovered it and I had not heard of it. I will pay less attention to Slashdot in the future.

Desura is still beta. Supposed to be like Impulse or Steam except different. Tied strongly to ModDB. Looks suspicious to me. "Wired has a lengthy investigation into the state of PC game mods , and the amateurs keeping the scene exciting in the wake of draconian DRM placed on many PC titles by major studios. It highlights a number of creative modders, such as Scott Rei

Yo Cadalancea and CombatElilte667! Think I will pick up the trial and test the EVE waters myself! Played for 6 months a long time back, like years back. But reason for my post is an update on the Tyrannis expansion, just released. Press Release -- as shown on IGN May 14 After careful consideration, the EVE Online dev team has decided to delay the deployment of <a class="autolink" href="http://p

Aractain, I do not know. In GW 1 my Paragon looks like a gal cheerleader except for his huge black beard. Shameful! (But he is certainly effective!) My other characters found armor that looks like armor. But it is true that the GW 1 armor in general does not look like what you would like to wear when you go volcano diving. More like beach party costumes. GW 1 had and still has many other defects besides. I'm not so rabid as to deny that! When it came to game balance, t

You are required to read this! I am a rabid foaming at the mouth GW fan and I will bite you! There are huge differences between GW2 and GW. Characters can jump, swim, fight under water, and perform many other excellent feats besides! Entirely new combat system. The entire skill system is different . Half your skill bar comes from what playable race you are. Multiple p

http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/combat/part-two/ The interactive environment is going to be a good addition. Scroll down a bit to see the cartoon.

You get a free capital ship, so make a cap ship factory right away and send the new cap ship off to a nearby planet or asteroid. A colonizing capital ship is ideal. The cap ship can take care of itself while you get on with further projects. Make couple of scouts, set them to auto explore. Get your crystal and metal coming in. Make some more light frigates and send them to help the cap ship. After capturing a planet or asteroid, you will need two or three planetary upgrades to get it out of t

Steam seems to be celebrating. Went over to the Steam Powered web site. Does not require Steam to view. Civ IV Complete is $10 on their weekend deal. Really rubbing it in, aren't they? Of course, you would be a fool to buy it. The Steam version of Civ IV leaves out things you might want later, including the editor I think. So it's really Civ IV Incomplete that they are offering for $10. Installing mods on any of their games can turn into a rolling nightmare.

So, even if I buy from Amazon or nick it off a store shelf, still got to install Steam ... if that's true then I'm out too. No Civ 5 for me. Think I will go over to civfanatics and if this is truly what they are doing I am going to put up numerous posts carefully laced with venom and sarcasm. http://www.facebook.com/civnetwork?v=info I wonder if this will apply also to the civ network version?

What is a PS3? Now of course I know what a XBox is; but I don't watch that kind of nasty stuff, nosirreee.

[quote who="kryo" reply="12" id="2607911"]It's only been five or six weeks since the last update. Nobody is abandoning Sins--further updates will come when they're good and ready.[/quote] Well, thank you kryo! This is really all that is needed; once every week or two a brief message even if there is nothing of substance to be said yet. Poke a pin in the information vacuum regularly and there will not be one.

I played StarCraft a very lot many years ago. Was a modder too. Stormcoast Fortress and all that. Never got a beta key for SC2, but watched a ton of videos. Mixed feelings. I really wanted just an updated StarCraft I with existing units polished and tweaked and some cool new stuff. Considering what we have coming: I don't like the graphics. They are not sharp and clean. And compared to recent RTS games like Red Alert 3 or Command and Conquer 3 or anything else for that matter

I think Ironclad would say something if they could. So for some reason they cannot. If Ironclad cannot say something about these issues, then Stardock probably will not. Strangely, this is very like the situation in another game that I play. The developers have gone silent and remained so even after three threads with contributions in the hundreds of replies each. Finally at long last, the publisher (not the developers) announced a further DLC for the game, details unknown. In

Yeah, well first of all can they make all this work? The graphics and hype are nice, but this really sounds like recanning endless seas of worms from the development side. When I saw the title of your post I thought it would be about the decline and fall of Rise of Nations. That game could have been a lot better than it was. Will always be sad that it was not.

[quote]So there's no observer mode? Is this going to be changed? Otherwise can you update the FAQ page? It's very unfair for those of us who bought the game expecting the feature that was promised.[/quote] That's what I was suggesting with my silly comment. The only game I play with an Observer feature is Guild Wars. And in GW Observer is limited to watching replays of high level PvP contests. It is useful to see what builds are in use and how to play the character in a PvP se

Wintersong, I would ask on the GoG forums. If they do not mention Windows 7, it may be that it does not. Someone does seem to have it running on W7 64. http://www.gog.com/en/forum/master_of_orion/_/1

Why should you even care? What anyone else thinks about anything whatever is of no concern. They will all presently be dead anyway. As will you.

Lurking in the background here is the cultural belief that deep down everyone knows that all religions are the same. This is a Western presumption of relatively recent vintage. Not everyone accepts that belief, neither here in the Useless Arse of A and certainly not in the rest of the world. Nor will they necessarily do so in the future. There really is nothing sacred about Western cultural beliefs or opinions. They are, after all, nothing but little electronic patterns swirling in ou

Played EVE Online for about six months several years ago. In EVE you are piloting a single ship at a time, although you may own a whole fleet of ships. EVE has a wide variety of ships for different purposes from warships of all kinds to mining boats and freighters. In Sins you are controlling fleets. So game play seems very different to me. In EVE, you are talking six months to a year to really get rolling in your specialty whatever it might be. With Sins, games last a few hours usual

Had not noticed this about Observer Mode. From the FAQ, what it be say: Q. Is there be an Observer mode? A. Yes. Q. What is the maximum number of players allowed within a game? A. Up to 10 players may be present as participants or observers. This seems fairly clear. And is emphasized by "is there be" which is the transfinite present hyper activated tense used by all great game developer

Yeah, read about it on Slashdot. Very horrible. It has been many years since I ran McAfee and that was in an office where some were convinced it was the best. At that time, something was always wrong and we eventually changed. How about all the people at home who do not have an IT handy? Tough for them.

1. Search for *.record 2. Run Command, enter %appdata% and look in Local and see if you can see Ironclad Games 3. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/374875 Kryo gave this answer previously. You may need to set some folders to not be hidden before you can see the directories.

Wish they had done this to begin with. At this point, I've watched so many commented replays. I don't really want a beta key anymore. Yeah, I'm an old SC player but I think I might let this game be out for six months or longer for them to get the balance right. Balance still looks iffy to me.
