Reply to PC Gamers out-performed Console Gamers in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="4Nana" reply="9" id="2693184"]For you, yes, they might be better that way. However, "SOME" people prefer the controller. I would never have bought any console I own if it was just keyboard / mouse. I already have a computer to do that. The historic reason why consoles were popular is no longer the current reason either and isn't really any issue. $600 for a PS3 when it came out was very expensive. [/quote] Which is why the PS3 was a

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="47" id="2691502"]SD folks get a big discount. Only the few lucky people who work with testing the games for distribution get 'em for free (and usually from the publishers that they deal with). I know back when Stardock did PAX I saw someone with a video and they bragged about having a %20 off discount card. They were just passing out the 20% off cards to anyone who stopped by to chat, basically. I ended up with like 10 of t

I had one of my AI players train archers and it quickly walked over all the other AI players without a problem which demonstrated a real problem with how bows and spells were working.

This is what, the tenth thread about this in the last month? They aren't rushing the game. As of last week they were ahead of schedule, adn considering everyone worked over the weekend, I doubt that has changed. And as Brad has posted every other time this has come up, a lot can happen in the last couple weeks between the closing of the public beta and the final release. GalCiv didn't have starbases, Sins had a different economy and was missing one of the factions, etc, etc. And as An

I agree to an extent, however, that the sovereign creator should be moved with it. I actually missed that post and didn't find out that it was moved until late last night. I had just thought it was moved becaus

I'm pretty sure Stardock ships outside the US, although I'm pretty sure you'll be paying a lot for shipping and such. I'm almost positive that back around their respective releases I saw the Collecters Editions of Sins and Demigod in my local Target. But that's still in the US, I wouldn't know if they did that elsewhere. Buying direct from Stardock is probably your best option if you're out of the US.
