[quote who="kryo" reply="96" id="2701823"] the standard price in europe which is usually about £25 At the low end. Newer PC games in mainland Europe range anywhere from €30 to €50. Starcraft 2 is €60. The simple fact of the matter is that the UK is enjoying price ranges right now that were set a couple of years ago when the pound was stronger. It's devalued considerably against most western currencies since 2008 so I wouldn't expect those cheap prices

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="20" id="2697998"] In the era of early 3d games, PC games did require more frequent upgrades. That hasn't been true for a while (my wife's nearly 3 year old computer still plays everything on the market easily), but perception changes slowly. My Nvidia's GTX285 can also max out any game on the market, and it's a pretty old card. I even got a pair of them in SLI when I got a new PC 2.5 years ago, and never *had* to turn SLI on, though found it he

[quote who="wbino" reply="21" id="2698025"]btw you know what pisses me off, when new videocards are reviewed in magazines/or online they use the lastest cpu on the market, not the two year old cpu most of us have in our machines. So this way I could see if UPGRADING to the newest card makes sense for a two year old system. Chances are if you have the latest cpu

I liked Mafia :) But 50$ for one-playthrough games I can't justify anymore. I did it with the SNES and Playstation but back then I didn't know the worth of money. I plan to buy plenty of games during their next holiday sale but I want achievements! Also, their term of "revoke your account at any time for any reason" is a bit scary.

I love Worms [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I've never completed a whole Worms game eventhough I've had Worms , Worms Armageddon , Worms 3D and Worms 4: Mayhem so Worms Reloaded will be the first Worms game I will complete 100% of. The old Worms games campaigns and challenges were hardcore and not possible to complete for normal people. Now, do I preorder or do I wait for a holiday sale?</

[quote who="Burningpet" reply="37" id="2699244"]This all debate just buffles me. judging by the quality of the missions on this campaign, it is fairly obvious blizzard seperated the game into 3 parts not because they wanted to milk the fan base, but because the terran campaign itself equals and surpass in length and production values all of the former sc1 campaigns and most other similiar games in the market, while succeding to provide a much better game than most of them,&nbsp

Amateur article. In the beginning when he says: "the released demon Kraxis" and stuff, it make it sound like it's a scripted mission like a mission in Majesty. He should say that it's randomly generated maps like MoM or random maps from Age of Wonders.

Animations is a possible gamebreaker to me. The way they were in Master of Magic is absolutely unacceptable today. I want to see a swordsman striking an enemy with his sword, the enemy mouthing according to the pain and damage and having the wound stay until the end of battle. When the enemy strikes back, he may smile with vengeance (In AoW:SM, a critical hit caused bloodsprays [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I remember my Undead Reaper critting an El

The improvementchanges with citystructures multiplying the research/gildar/whatever is GREAT! Together with the influence of cities it's looking TRULY GREAT! Much praise to the one who thought it up! When the game was just announced, I wanted the strategic game to be about controlling points on the map (like the *points in Dawn of War and Company of Heroes.) It seems I'm getting what I wanted [e digicons]:)[/e] <span style=

[quote who="SavageBananaMan34" reply="13" id="2680746"]Brad, I am as upset as you are that so many assets are not going to make it in the main game. Is there a reason you can't incorporate them in? It really is sad if many great models go to waste and only people modding will ever get to see and use them. Take advantage of that content to make the game richer! [/quote] Agreed 100%. Having lots of content solely for modders is a waste in my eyes since I intend to co

Some guys sure seem to like epic battles. I don't. In both RTS & TBS, epic battles feels unbalanced. A slippery slope of power. Though it's milder in RTS since you can escape at any time and there's no "I shoot first and you just sit there and take it". Strongest memory is Heroes of Might & Magic III. The bigger your stack, the more units dies from the other and thus less retaliation. Got disappointed in the Heroes system in Armageddons Bl

That kind of nonsense happens all the time in game when people find out an actual female is playing in a PUG, and the forums are the same group of players. There were an awful lot of concerned women who were afraid of posting on the forums if this

I really like these FAQs. Getting valuable info and at the same time a whole community gets their top 5 questions answered. For some strange reason I wasn't much into AoW II MP but I should have been! DarkMystery, you're here? PawelS recognizes that name :) I will create a RTS vs TBS thread some day soon. We need a flamewar to sort the wheat from the chaff ;) In the meantime, sensitive

While I REALLY like RealID in that people will FINALLY have to face the music when they talk crap on the forums and ingame, and also have to realize that you have to be STRONG enough to hold your own and can't rely on the authorities (police) to protect you, the bad thing about it is that since I'm politically active and are politically incorrect, I open myself to serious risks.

I say, give minor factions the same A.I as major factions. Since they don't have a Sovereign they'll be overrun or integrated eventually. Like some people have said, being able to ally with them sounds really good. Protect them and they will help attack your enemies (or give you resources or something.)

Don't like them. You'd feel forced to prolong a siege to get the Hardy bonus. All these bonuses are hard to keep in mind so you can't really plan to get them. They feel to random.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="191" id="2667775"] Quoting Campaigner, reply 190 Why shouldn't a powerful army face peasant opposition? Defending is already easier then attacking. Higher lvl cities give % hitpoints (pretty sure about that.) When you attack early, you invest a few lvls in Warfare instead of other categories. You also have to FIND an opponent and travel over to him. That's more then enough time for the other players to m
