The use of Steam by itself isn't bad. To force us to use Steam even to be able to install the game is bad bad bad bad... [e digicons]:cylon:[/e]

Relic has that bug fixed for a time now as stated in their forums... just waiting for those GFWL guys to certificate it. Why cannot they try to do it in less than their standard 2 weeks for a case so serious as this? Ask GFWL. XD

[quote who="Xan" reply="3" id="2074032"]In the future when Steam conquers all booting up your PC will mean having to first log in to your computer and then having to log in to Steam. Gee what fun. [/quote] Nah. Google will either buy Steam or most probably create their own "Google Steam". No one can stop the " Evil Plans of Google TM ". Before you notice it, you will be eating "Google Food"

[quote who="Phalnax811" reply="3" id="2070822"]Ugh I hated DOW II Beta, I think they totally ruined it. They changed from 11 races to 4, [/quote] Why does people keep telling lies* about it? 11 races in vanillia DoW? Are you sure? Because I tought it took them like 3 expansion packs to get that number. Because how could be fair to compare a new released game with a previous game with its 3 expansion packs? Number of units? Well, Relic tried something different from DoW s

Come one, DatonKallandor, you cannot say that and simply don't give any evidence about any of those "blatant falsehoods". I'd like to know being a total ignorant about Steam stuff. Except that those guys can ban you and never tell you why according to their User Agreement, which I find offensive as a customer to say the least. In any case, it seems that future gaming is based on having an internet connection or you are rollaly screwed. I understand that it's the be

[quote who="DatonKallandor" reply="19" id="2056811"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 15 But Impulse doesn't force you to start it whenever you want to play your game, only when you want to update it. Well, then the problem is solved. Steam doesn't force you to be online. It did when it was in it's intial phase, but by now that's long gone. [/quote]Wrong part quoted? Anyways, refering to what you quoted, unless it has changed lately, you must

[quote who="DatonKallandor" reply="9" id="2056423"]And what double standard would that be? Both Steam and Impulse force customers to use the respective services by making them mandatory for certain in-house games. [/quote] But Impulse doesn't force you to start it whenever you want to play your game, only when you want to update it. There are more differences, of course. And some of them aren't favourable to Impulse, but for me that's an important point. Still, i wish we could ge

[quote who="dj-LiTh" reply="4" id="2055997"] Quoting Craig Fraser, reply 3 I'm not so sure anyone is trying to take the moral high ground here. It's more a function of economic reality. 'Evil' or not, monopolies, and oligopolies for that matter will strip purchasing power from the end consumer. Said the paid employee trying to push his companies content delievery system. Maybe if said monopoly/oligopoly did well prices wou

Why do i have the feeling that someone someday will create such cavalry in the game? [e digicons]:X[/e]

Biggest fear: to die before I can play it (seriously!). Biggest hope: the only game I'll play continuously for years, with some breaks here and there to distract myself with other worthy titles, without getting tired of it.

Dear Stardock, Forget about past published rpg games. No need to invent the wheel again but neither copy it. I get bored by most of the newest rpgs because all of them feel the same and seem more of a grind feast than anything else (not that I don't like grind feasts... withtin reason). Give me a complex story; deep background that makes me feel like a small part of something really big, make it feel as real as possible and alive; a game that really makes me question my

I'm more worried about Google's activities than if Steam can fall to the dark side. That said, diversity is good. The competition prevents monopoly (i'm supposing that it doesn't end in oligopoly), incentives new strategies and benefits greatly the customers. In this moment i would choose Impulse over Steam any day. And the future seems quite interesting. Yet, Steam isn't a bad thing and surely it's faaaaaar better than traditional DRM schemes. A pity DoWII uses it tough...

It's better to have them working on the game than distracted posting. That said, I would really like a true weekly update. Even if it's just to share with us how has been their week at the office.

Would be possible to get that pic to 1280x1024, Frogboy? I really like it.

BSG FTW! There are flaws (Boomer/Athena being number eight + Final Five, just to mention one XD) but i really like it. I have watched the first season (as example) like... 6? 7 times? (english and spanish) Go Helo&Athena, go!!!

One of the upcoming games that suffers greatly from being dumbed down so it can be ported to console later on. [/quote] They have stated that they won't port it. Not saying that they couldn't change their minds but i don't see why they should do that. Dumb

[quote who="idunno116" reply="9" id="2041599"]You guys do realize that ork with a 'k' is the Warhammer 40,000 way of spelling orc and not the real fantasy way right? Although, so many people get it wrong these days (a side effect from DoW I suppose) that I'm not sure why I even bring it up anymore. [/quote]Actually, i did it on purpose as i was playing Orks today in DoW2's beta. [e digicons];P[/e] <a href="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z151/elomi23/Motivational%20Posters/Ork

They are not low rent, just more practical. It seems to have an Orky feeling tough.

That means beta before June, right? Right? In this moment, the only game that could make me leave DoW2 would be this one (or Demigod if i could ever make it work XD ). In any case... NEW PIC!!! YAY???!!! [e digicons]:omg:[/e] And i'm fine starting with only the cloth map. It'll be quite interesting and the best way to make sure it gets properly tested. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
