But still your suggestions are great and to the point. Paradox would do well to listen to the improvements being suggested by a lot of people, and get 1C to patch it properly. :)

That was actually my line of thought a while ago. But then as more and more games were piling up and the Mrs. started to complain about the bills on admittedly forgotten entertainment, I'm now more picky with what I buy... [e digicons];P[/e]
I'm glad you and others are enjoying the game OsirisDawn. I tried the demo and have been reading the forums at Paradox. M2 does have some improvements and I expect that some good patches will happen. But what about replayability? The game got released with no possibility for random maps. It comes to my mind Hinterland, which is a simpler game that came out last year. I continue to occasionally play it because each new game has a new territory to explore and conquer. M1 had this 10 yea

Well, considering it's limitations, this is a game I won't be buying. You can't really call Majesty 2 a sequel.
The retro intro and the ambient music are nicely done. The exploration shows great potential and the random items you can find seem to be evenly distributed already. The mouse navigation, though still rudimentary, feels right. The random items and the navigation reminds me of GalCiv - which is a good thing. The technology tree has a refreshing take from what is the norm and it also feels right; it certainly needs more work with accessibility and management. Thumbs up! :)</p

Besides the reasons for any block and how deserving that is, an indication to the affected user would be better. We all know how this faceless interaction on the internet can give way to all sorts of speculation, actions and reactions. An appropriate indication (excluding the tempting silent approach) would at least avoid the notion that a total ban happened, and this thread would have no reason to be. Make it so that when the forum admin/mod blocks someone, an automated messa

Great work there Scoutdog, though I think this might be premature.

[quote who="Coelocanth" reply="109" id="2373475"] So, bottom line: if you don't particularly mind Steam, you can go right ahead and grab Mass Effect through them.

And for the honest populations & true customers wherever they are, region unlocking (with/without discriminate pricing) would be a way to combat piracy. This current distribution model fails to perceive a medium that can get their products to the most remote locations, while allowing pirates to benefit from their inaction. The fact that I have an internet connection, despite my location, denotes potential and the perfect selling mechanism for their digital merchandising. Alas, I h
I would say that regional pricing is less of a problem than not being able to buy a game at all. For a game that I really like, I wouldn't mind paying a bit more, as long as it could be made available. It's weird to be faced with a supplier not wanting my money. I don't intend to become a pirate, though jumping through hoops like this when there's this local cheesy market or that shady torrent, taunting me with a pirated version a few days after release... it's a ridiculous conundrum

Yes, notwithstanding the publishers' own unfortunate contribution to this, piracy should not be done. Period. Sigh... Where's my Dragon Age? [e digicons]:S[/e]
Dragon Age: Origins is THE game that I've been wanting to play since it's early development in 2004 by BioWare. Impulse, despite its growing pains, is one heck of a platform and I love it. Just recently I saw these two great, colossal goodies coming together in perfect gaming bliss. But then I read... USA and Canada only...
