[quote who="kryo" reply="35" id="2645732"] Well I guess I should ask before the beta comes out (because god knows how many threads there will be on this when it does come out) but what ports do we need to forward to play Elemental online (if any)? AFAIK none, in theory.[/quote] Good news, in theory [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="8" id="2645163"] Valve wouldn't put their games on Impulse in the first place because they control significantly more DD market share.[/quote] Yep, exactly. So no one will move.
[quote who="kyogre12" reply="1" id="2645131"] And finally, you don't see any Valve games on Impulse. If they don't put Half-Life 2 or Portal or whatever on Impulse, why would Stardock put their games on Steam?[/quote] If they don't put Elemental on Steam, why would Valve put their games on Impulse ?
[quote who="kryo" reply="23" id="2644903"] No. Steam has the market power to dictate pricing, while everyone else has to clear prices through the publishers. Even in a best case, trying to sell such things at below-market pricing would result in our selling Steam free advertising at a loss. This is the sort of result (Steam gets to set the pricing and competition is gone) you inevitably run into when you encourage things like store bundling with games. [/quote] Perhaps
[quote who="Diorj" reply="14" id="2644247"] -I'm just trying to figure this out. So civ 5 and Fallout 3, even if I buy them at a store will force me to download and use steam in order to play? -And also does Steam get to be the only place to purchase a digital copy if one chooses to not buy a physical copy of the game?[/quote] - Yes - I'm not sure for F:VN, but for other Steamworks titles you can buy steam key on direct2drive, gamesplanet... I think Impulse is

[quote who="bonscott" reply="2" id="2643907"]You have got to be freaking kidding me. Game after game after game requiring Steamworks. So yet another high anticipated game that I will not buy. I'm about to just give up on all gaming at this rate. Seriously.[/quote] I'm guessing we need to wait for Impulse Reactor to have an alternative. I think it's still in beta ?
Works fine for me and I am French (IE8 and Firefox).
Thanks for the link ! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="Shunmaha" reply="17" id="2643033"]I want more games like gothic 1 and 2.[/quote] Have you tried Risen ? It's from the same developers.
I really liked Alpha Protocol, great storyline. DS1 was good, but I don't expect much from it, don't know what Obsidian can do with it.
One thing I really liked in GC2 is how AI are unique. It's not juste some architectural/tech difference between civs, but they act in different ways, like they have their own culture and objectives. You can produce a "perfect" AI, but without some personality, it won't be fun (in my opinion). [quote who="Frogboy"] p.s. Hello to my friends on CanardPC. [/quote] Hehe, thanks we appreciate it. Some of us were wondering if it was you o
Thanks.
Maybe Thursday, or next week.
[quote who="Luckmann" reply="11" id="2640149"] Yes it is. It's a FPS with RPG (Roll-Playing Game) elements.[/quote] Ahah. I recently read a comment about Alpha Protocol which make sense in this case : Justin McElroy, Joystiq: “ Much like obvious influence Mass Effect, whether or not your weapon scores a hit is more dependent on its accuracy statistic than your actual skill. Even if you line up your shot perfectly you’ll often whiff, especially in t
[quote who="Impulsivity" reply="1" id="2559808"]looks the same as fallout 3 if they don't fix how you shoot in real time it will be a waste.[/quote] Fallout 3 is not a FPS.
[quote who="wilebill" reply="1" id="2627268"] I liked the game. But right now it would be the DVD version, but only if it turns out to be true that Tages is removed with patch 1.1. Wikipedia has been wrong before. [/quote] That's true : http://anno1404.wikia.com/wiki/Copyright_protection http://forum
[quote who="swordguyj" reply="4" id="2622027"] on the concept of not losing your sov you could have a tech that you build that allows you to imbue an artifact with your sov's essence so that when he is at deaths door it pulls him inside and slowly regenerates him. they take the city they take your sov's chance at surviving death until you reclaim the city. just an idea.[/quote] I like it :)
China have invaded Tibet, tried to colonize it, but Tibetan's culture still exists and they have more authority that other Chinese region. By the way, Tibet was military invaded and France was an European colonial power until WW2. I think The Empires can have a bonus when they besiege a city, so the enemy becomes more willing to surrender. But Cultural Domination, no.
Mike Capps is like Bobby Kotick (Activision CEO), the reason why gaming industry sucks.

Subtotal: (EUR) 20,88 € Seriously ? By the way your exchange rate are still wrong, 20$=14,69€ not 13,92€.
Debug Mode is available (i.e spawn all units in FULL game) GPG deleted the thread from their forum, but not from SE forums... Sure they are awesome, but they don't seem to handle well censorship [e digicons]:-"[/e]
[quote quoting="post"] I gave the new Steam UI a shot this morning and found it to be a complete mess. Not only did they take away the small icons in the games browser window, but all the text in the entire UI is now being anti-aliased, despite me having ClearType disabled in Windows 7. [/quote] open up: steam.styles in Steam/resource/styles and edit to basefontbold=”Arial”. It's a beta, you need to check the forum.
