Mamoulian War

Never heard of that before, sounds crazy. How can they stop you from using a router/switch? Anyway, who carries their computer around anyway? Just play from the comfort of your own house with voice chat? If i am correct ISP can find that you are illegaly using router with deep packet inspection... And none of my friends bring computers to my LAN... all of them bring their notebooks/laptops... 1.5 - 3kg to put in car and drive 2-3 km just to get some action was never a problem... we are all about 30 years old and we still love LAN more than playing over internet with teamspeak or ventrilo... you know drinking beer over ventrilo is pretty much retarded and that is one of the very "social" parts of LAN gaming

This. People need to whine about more important stuff. See, this attitude pisses me off. You spent most of your time with the campaign. That was the draw for you. That's fine. But because I spent most of my time playing 8 player LAN matches with friends, my opinion and wants are somehow less important than yours? Who said it was less important? I was just agreeing with Morgoth... The only difference is that everyone needs a copy of the game and your network will have to be connected to the internet. The everyone-must-have-a-copy thing has been around for a while now. That is the biggest problem... as Magister Lajciak said, there are many ISP in my country which do not allow to connect more than 1 PC itno their internet unless you pay higher programme... That in other words means, that if you bring a router and connect 7 your friend into your internet account there is high probability, that next month you get penalty of around 1000 EUR for breaking the rules of your connection... No LAN for SC2 is aswell no buy for me unless they release the SC2 Battlechest with all Single Players Campaingns in a single box... Diablo 3... i still have to think about it... i actualy never played Diablo 2 on LAN nor batlle.net so this might not be an issue for me... SC and War was in 95% cases pure LAN game for me with 4 to 10 people in one place on almost daily basis...

on a scale from 0 to 10 the EA download store is on -64

curently in big boredom having fun only with Final Fantasy IV on Playstation 2, Crisis Core on PSP and DotA on PC... hopefuly i will have new NWN2 patch this week...

you are missing a lot

looks the milking beat the horse machine is working here aswell...

The most interesting quote from there... And nowhere mentioned if you are forced to be online to play singleplayer scenarios... *thinks* well if they copy RA3 you'll be forced to be online the ENTIRE time you're playing it. oh yeah... *moves to another thread, nothing to see here anymore*

Mythic will help out with SW:TOR http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/bioware-...p-star-wars-mmo hopefuly not as they did help themselves with WAR

Yes

if you missed it Witcher patch 1.5 just got released http://www.thewitcher.com/community/

The experience with RPGs in general and games like NWN2 helps a lot... There is big difference when I play the games, and my sister plays them... she is much into RPGs but she plays only 1-2 games per year and even if i roll her powerful main character, she has more troubles than me with pure Roleplay characters without exceptional stats or powerbuilds...

With DA nothing, with EG.net credibility a lot

Oh yeah Eurogamer... after their fiasco on Darkfall review i rather avoid that site... full story about it (Darkfall developer's PoV on it) http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=185060

i would recommend you at least for this estate either picking up healing henchman or buy tons of potions... myself i found it very difficult to play any CRPG without healer...

Fate of atlantis is worth getting excited over, the rest... eh. They didn't really pick and choose the cream of the crop (The tim schafer and monkey island catalogues are suspiciously missing...) Maybe they no longer hold the rights to them...

you can spin it how much you want Stealing a game is not the same as Downloading a game nor the same as Releasing the game them as your own (aka your plagiarism) If their gonna Dowload it, they gonna break the Copyrights owner Right to make copies of the product... aka they will infringe on their COPY RIGHT!!! Correct terms should be used...

He told they were going to steal the game... that would mean the codex guys decided to go into some shop and rob all the shelves dry... Stealing a game != Infringing on the copyright of the game owner... that's a fact, so don't try to be a smartass...

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe 2

Stealing = removing the item from rightful owners ownership Infringing = breaching copyright of rightful owners intelectual property two very different things

From what I gather on Codex they plan on infringing it, not buying it a soon as possible Fixed for you...

Of course, and when they prioritize money (sell as much as possible) over the art itself (make the best thing ever!), they hereby sell out. This !!!

the new 3D engine... their 3D stuff made zillion times bigger money for iD than selling all of the Quake and Doom merchandise combined...

I wonder why that happened? *points at evul EA* Are you kidding? Mythic missed deadline after deadline on WAR. If you go into work and start a 3 year project, and it gets stretched into a 5 year project, you have messed up and you are lucky you don't get fired. I'm surprised how much time they were actually given on the game. Maybe it's because the 3 year deadline was an impossible goal to meet? I worked as programmer (not as a game programmer though) for some time, and i would say, that of all the projects I worked on, only 3 had realistic deadlines... everything else was plain impossible to offer the demanded product on time... so some content had to be cut... after some while, i just said the money i got, was not worth the stress and overtimes i had to pull for my employer and at the end almost always me and my coleagues getting blamed for not delivering the product on-time... put some marketing clown, who has no clue how long the working code has to be created in the lead of the project and your product fail even if you put your best into it...
