I remember the Wizardy series having an element of si-fi as well, I wonder if this new game will also have si-fi in it as well?

I'm hooked, bring it on, can't wait, yes yes yes, finally real gaming is back, hail to the king baby!

Yes please, I very much like to beta test hellgate london/Tokyo, thanks in advance.

Hellgate is back and the Real rifts are opening again, can't wait!

Come on Open Beta!

OP this is the very reason I hate steam, about a year ago when Civ 5 came out I went to the store and bought a copy because construction had cut the phone lines for the area for the next week. I go to get the game and I can't, because it's a steam exclusive title. So all that is on the disk in the box is steam so I can install it from them, now say what you will praising steam but I hate downloading my games from the net, it's why I still buy them from the store. Personally, any game that requires me to use steam to download it if I buy the box goes right onto my never buy this game ever list.

ok ive been checking out a few games recently one of which dawn of war 2.. now ive come across a potentialy huge blunder.

 

the fact of the matter is you cannot install this single player offline game unless you do infact have an internet connection and steam account and installed on your pc..

so why is that..

 

what if people that dont have the interent want to continue their love for al things warhammer!! thay cant.. im getting a bit pissed off with how many games today require you to have an internet connection before you can actually play them. why should we have to have an internet conneciton to play a game thats not played over the internet???

 

and more importanly when will some one do something about it.

its anoying as hell, im sitting here scratching my head and in disbeleif that inorder to play this game i must go through steam to do so. it absolutely will not function unless im online with steam active, and to top it off it auto updates the game meaning you have to sit through a good hour of patching before you can run it..???  you cant bypass it or opt out of patching to play on your local machine in single player mode no no.. steam forces you to endure their shitty download speeds and wait for a patch you dont necessarily like in the first place..

 

 

its all abit wrong!!

I have a question for the Brits..

and Im not bringing this up to try and step on any toes or anything like that,I just find it so hard to understand..

 

These Royals - the King,Queen,Prince,Princess et al...what do they do for your country?

If I understand right - and correct me if im wrong here - they all live off the tax payers money.All their riches,their mansions,estates,assets,clothing,cars, everything is paid for by the British taxpayer....and they do nothing more than just hold their title?

Are they really nothing but figure heads?

 

On top of that,this wedding practically puts your whole country to a halt,everyone gets a day off costing the country billions of dollars..not to mention what the actual wedding cost was.

Again, billions of dollars in money over 2 people getting married..

Please correct this if its wrong.Im hoping that it IS wrong because I just cant see how this is logical at all really..

Im really not trying to rub anything in here,it just really blows my mind if it is true..

There was a wedding, ... in which game???

Try these,

I'm,

Playing Gothic 1, -( I missed it the first time round it was released)

Played Gothic 2,  took about 3mnths of play, best game ever in my books, still keep seeing Kings Scroll plants in my garden)

Playing Gothic 3 (CPT1.74 + Q4 +CM2.2*), ( played when it first came out and re started when the all the patches came out again) - still playing, gets the same vote from me as Gothic 2, as I'm sure G3: FG will.

Gothis 3: Forgotten Gods Enhanced Edtion, ( just awaiting me to finish Gothic 3 (1.74 + Q4 +CM2.2)

Played Arcadia - ( But it's NOT gothic 4 ...game) which was very pretty and a quick fun play)

Playing - Risen - ( which should have been Gothic 4 ), and looking forwards to Risen 2

Playing - TwoWorlds II, - (  very much like Gothic 3 crossed with Elderscrolls 4, plus with coop multiplay side as well, which is sepatrate from singleplay side of game ) - ( sorry I bypassed playing TW1, but I do own it))

Currently also playing Divinty II - Dragon Kight Saga, it's a fun romp!)

also played thru and totally enjoyed Fable Lost chapters,

Never played Fable 2, ( Stupid consoles! )

looking forwards to Fable 3, ( Hurray back to PC! )

I also Played, Arcadia - ( The, but it's NOT Gothic 4 game) which was very pretty and a quick fun play )

So to sum up;

Gothic set followed by Risen. followed by Two Worlds II. 

and All can be found on Steam at a cheap price except for Risen.

 

*(CPT1.74 + Q4 +CM2.2*) = ( Community patch Team 1.74 patch + Quest 4 addon, + Content Mod 2.2 ) - you must patch this up your self, info on how to do it can be found on the Steam forums.

 

Whats your take on TW2 - I read some of the reviews and it did not seem to fair well?  How does it play?

You had to make an educated guess and hope for the best in order to win.

 That was a cool game, I remember typing it in, debugging it and playing it, ...stupid wampus I got him in the end, now those where the days of gaming, no loading screens, just type it in your self and tape drive, do you remember Eliza?

Hardest game for me was, Impossible mission on the Commdore 64, never could get all the jigsaw pieces!
