[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="4" id="3121181"] blah blah yeah i've heard all the irrational nonsense re steam before, primarily from people that have barely used it and don't know what they're talking about. you can make up as many "reasons" as you like, the rest of us will keep playing and enjoying the opportunities steam provides. FYI steam is a huge part of the continuing success of PC gaming and is one of the best things to ever happen to the platform. [/quote] LOL yo

[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="2" id="3121124"]not that i support irrational steam hate, but you could check out FAF for all your forged alliance needs: http://www.faforever.com/[/quote] Even the original Sup Com from Impulse now requires steam. P.S. Its not irrational to not want to submit to a one sided agreement which leaves one with no recourse. Although one could argue it is irrational to agree to i

I knew Gamestop would ruin my Impulse purchases eventually. Now I have a game I paid for that I cannot reinstall without accepting a 3rd party contract. Oh well.. guess I'll write it off. The longer digital distribution goes on the more companies screw us and give me reason not to like it. I'll throw a hissy and when they tell me politely to go screw myself thats the end of my dealings with impulse/gamestop. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="12" id="3120039"] Well obviously it is to each their own. I'm just curious as to why some people are so interested in the the word forever when it comes to their video games. Is anything in your life really forever? We can own many things; cars, homes, boats, computers, tools, kitchen utensils, media of all types and guess what? They all deteriorate and non will last forever. So why should I

[quote who="Kalin" reply="71" id="3119640"]Judging from everyone's supposed hatred of snaking, perhaps this isn't all that unnecessary...[/quote] Meh doesn't bother me. People will find exploits regardless, I think its a waste of time if your changing things just because people exploit it in a single player game. Now memory usage is a far better reason for any change to city management in my opinion.

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="7" id="3119761"] This game has recieved several patches already so this free DLC is different in some way. If you define value for money as re playability than this game, then this game is definitely worth it. [/quote] They call it DLC because it sounds better for marketing purposes. Free DLC sounds better in marketing than content patch, not a big deal.. its just amusing. [quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="8"

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="4" id="3119376"] 1st FREE DLC for Wargame:EE ! YAY! [/quote] We used to call those patches. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] This game looks good though... Not willing to pay full price at this point but I'm keeping an eye on it.

[quote who="mastroego" reply="18" id="3119373"] Quoting Cruxador, reply 14Hm. It looks like everyone's talking about the narrative of the strategy, and not the game itself. That's fine I suppose, there's plenty of time to talk about the game later, and the strategy is a very positive note to start this off on. However it's important that discussion of the game itself actually does occur before too long. The discussions should remain separated. I may have a few

I would rather see a governor get a small amount of a xp for each unit and or building produced in the city he is stationed at. Rather than a slow trickle no matter what. I'd prefer just buildings.. gives you a reason to move him around to smaller cities eventually. But that may be a hard sell for some people.

Such a brilliant marketing strategy, sounds like something I would come up with . [e digicons]:-"[/e] Seriously though, one cannot quantify the effects of consumers having good will toward a company. This type of thing tends to not only garner good will but make you stand out in the sea of developers, many of which are controlled by huge publishers who tend to act as if gamers owed them something. (En

Ya if it wasn't for the fact that it keeps your old XP license tied to the PC.. meaning you can't take your copy of XP and install it on that old thing sitting in the corner. It might be worth it if it didn't use both of your licenses on a single install. But upgrades are a suckers bet considering your now using a copy of windows that ties up 2 licenses but only one legally allowed install. I guess as people in the industry you guys don't think twi

[quote who="Gammit10" reply="22" id="3111228"] if you can't find Win7 for less than $200 (legally), typically you're doing it wrong [/quote] 200$ is the starting price for a full license copy(189$+shipping if you wanna split hairs). Ya you can get an OEM for less.. but legally speaking that license is tied to your motherboard.. and if you reactivate it after switching motherboards you're a pirate. Further more, I run XP pro.. so in order to get all the fu

Lets clear something up. It doesn't matter if your running Win 7 or win Xp.. if your running 32 bit your User Mode addressable space for each 32 process is 2 GB.(without the 3GB switch of course) So regardless of your OS if you stop supporting 32 bit its going to affect anyone with a 32 bit OS.. not just XP users. Now..If your going to stop supporting direct X 9 then yes.. only windows XP and previous would be out.. but that would do nothing for memory gains. </

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="35" id="3109312"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 31Actually looking forward to this. I actually wish they would just remake alot of older games with updated graphics since its apparent that when they try to continue an old series the new generation of devs inevitably kill everything that fans of the series enjoyed. So maybe when "fans of the series" are dead, companies will be allowed to be creative (sometimes for good, sometimes for bad) with the

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="33" id="3109290"]Looking forward to it to. I'm torn about the idea of remaking old classic games, on one hand you want a new version of something you once really enjoyed, but you don't want the new version to suck. The big problem is that there are these gamers that refuse to look at anything objectively and also see any change in gameplay as heretical. Some times they have legitimate complaints, but most of the time it's complete bul

The fact that Incapusla sells website security solutions doesn't make you question the bias of such a report? Sure there's lots of malicious traffic out there.. but I think this is an exaggeration in order to drum up business. I anonymously polled 1000 people and found that 51% wanna steal your wallet... so buy my wallet chains. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

The potential for a scenario based storyline intrigues me more than the usual Tweaking and modding that I know I'll do to FE. As to the issue of people creating their own issues.. its something that every mod friendly game has to

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="2" id="3107092"]Every time I bring up the fact that ALT-TAB'ing in and out of this game is NOT reliable, everybody jumps on me. Everybody will jump on you for having Windows XP. But just so you know, I'm on Windows 7 and experience the same issues bro! I really hope they fix this and quit disregarding it as only affecting a few users. I never have any problems with ALT-TAB'ing or machine going to sleep then re-engaging with my

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="47" id="3064595"]Hmm. That's a little depressing to read. I wonder how wide spread that view. And yes, I get the irony given HOI2's difficulties.[/quote] Don't worry about it too much.. generally people that are enamored with paradox wouldn't buy FE anyway (unless you got paradox to Publish it [e digicons]XD[/e] )

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="283" id="3097491"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 269I don't think the anti-Steam demographic is large enough to justify giving it special attention. In fact, I know it's not. If Fallen Enchantress were (ever) to get multiplayer (after 1.0, expansion or "free patch"), would it be burden with Steamworks? It seems to me that same logic as in Rebellion should/could apply (R.I.P. Impulse Reactor, right?). [/quote] I was actually

I was gonna vote then I remembered I hadn't put more than 15 mins into beta 2 yet. Also the choices are general enough that even If I think X needs Y there is no telling if you think X needs Y and that by voting for Y you will work on adding X to y. [e digicons]:digichet:[/e]
