I don't mind micromanagement, but I'm going to postpone playing until civilization customization is improved. Basic stuff that was in GalCiv 2 is still missing, and I'm honestly surprised to see that the game was released as 1.0.
Well that's a bummer. Although finding and editing the files themselves is easy, knowing what does what appears to be a complete shot in the dark. I don't mind modding the base files - and don't see why that'd be a problem - but there seems to be no way to know just what to edit. I'm not even sure I found the appropriate file, let alone line, to edit. I think it is "GC3_Terran_Appearance" in GC3ApperanceDefs, but the numbers (aside fr
I just tried the game, and being an old GalCiv 2 player, I immediately start making my own faction, but I have two questions: How do I edit the .faction-files? I can't figure out how, and I'd like to take a look at what you can't and cannot do, as well as set up some bonuses or penalties that would be "illegal" by standard game rules/faction creation. I'm a bit shocked that they didn't keep the .xml formats used in GalCiv2, which made m
In hindsight, calling it "Global Warming" was a mistake, since the vast swathes of nincompoops of the planet thinks that their little corner is destined to get warmer, and cannot comprehend that warming on a global scale has far-reaching consequences that may, paradoxically, end up increasing rainfall in one place, making it colder in another, and turn the equator into one massive desert, all at once.
[quote who="Othello" reply="9" id="3124748"] As far as I know, besides the vestigial collectors edition stuff, there are no pre-order bonuses.[/quote]Calling it vestigial or pointing out that they're even more restricted than pre-order doesn't exactly change the situation. If anything, it just makes it worse. [quote who="Kodiak888" reply="10" id="3124880"] [...] The auction house doesn't bother me, as long as it doesn't becom
[quote who="TorinReborn" reply="14" id="3125200"]I gave them 15$ for this. Hope the game is on time and fun [/quote] If Wasteland 2 is on time, I will sacrifice my firstborn for Wasteland 3. Games are never on time. Not the good ones, anyway. :D
Looks interesting, but I want to see some specifics before I get my hopes up. The last thing Baldur's Gate needs is "streamlining" and "accessibility".
No interest in D3 in the slightest. Removal of LAN capabilities was bad enough, but combined with a reliance on their servers, neutering basic character development aspects, real money being all over the place, arena focus, and pre-order exclusive bonuses, they've manage to completely ruin it for me. It's a MMO light. I hope it tanks as bad as Hellgate did.
I so wish that I had any money to spare whatsoever, so I could support the creation of Wasteland 2; if only enough to get the pre-order deal. I am really, really looking forward to this. I still have high hopes that they'll manage to break 3mil before the end of the Kickstarter campaign.
[quote who="the_Monk" reply="29" id="2986904"]....so you're the guy drinking milk from the carton at the grocery store (just to make sure it's not passed the date).[/quote]In Sweden, all milk cartons are dated with date of production and date of expiration. When I get my milk, I know what I'm getting; I'm getting milk. This milk tastes much like how milk is supposed to taste. Very milk-y. Why would I need to drink it in the grocery store?
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="26" id="2986686"]Waiting always pays off. Don't listen to the bribed reviewer dummies, and wait what real gamers will write about the game. I never buy games early these days.[/quote]I never buy games these days. At least not before trying them.

I refuse to cross two. I need three. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic + Thief: Deadly Shadows + The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Jagged Alliance 2 + Fallout: Tactics + Baldur's Gate

I would love to see more Bear Calvary .
I am still extremely hesitant about Human Revolution. It just doesn't look like Deus Ex to me - not in any way. The showcased level didn't really raise my hopes, either. It feels like they pre-programmed a number of set paths and that's it. Maybe they did this for Deus Ex, too, but it was never noticeable. It always felt natural, like you were doing your thing, independent from what the programmers/level designers expected. I have, however, heard good things about the leak

Woho, that's awesome. :D [quote who="LightStar" reply="9" id="2979168"]Nothing justifies illegally hacking into another computer system[/quote] Nothing ?
When they stop officially patching the game? You.. you're not familiar with Stardock, are you? :D
Nothing has compared to BF1942 yet and this doesn't exactly look like a return to form. So I can't say that I'm excited.

When can we expect 1.3? This may be a common question and may have been answered, but I'm not as attentive to the boards as I used to.

I must say that I have a really hard time getting pumped for Fallen Enchantress after E:WoM, especially with it being stand-alone. Leaves me feeling that E:WoM will never be "fixed" and was just the beta for Fallen Enchantress. I know it's not, technically speaking, but I can't help feeling like that.
No offense intended, but I do have to ask; Who ?
So.. I suppose that now, my Impulse games are tied to Gamestop? That's.. that's actually worse than Steam. This is a downright horrific thought.
[quote who="tetleytea" reply="2" id="2927041"]I'd be interested in seeing a comparison of Civ V to Civ IV on the latest patch. I haven't heard enough good things to justify not sticking with Civ IV.[/quote]This. Civilization 5 seems to have tried to appeal to a new market, which needless to say alienates their long-time fan base. There's not much more to say, really. I know lots and lots of people that are still playing Civilization 3 or Civilization 4, or even Civil
