Yes, for some reason, now I have an urge to open a thread asking where I can download the game. I'm not sure it would be closed either if posted in this forum. Restricted Area. Uses StarForce (latest version I guess since it's a pretty new game) and I just came from playing it, without CDs, as usual. So much for your invincible copy protection... "

Let me guess. Supershadow told you, and you alone.

What are you talking about. For all its shortness, the RotS game was great. The best lightsaber combat system of any game, ever.

Err... yes. And if it is one of those piece of sh1t integrated video arrays, as they used to put in older models, chances are you'll be screwed as far as compatibility goes. I had a Thinkpad (more like Stupidpad) too, and it was unable to run anything DirectX-based.

Yes, Starforce is totally unbeatable. Except VMBL used it, and like a week after its release, there was a tool to neutralize or plain mislead the SF protection. I know because I used it. )

You still don't get it, do you?

Err... K3 needs to get rid of that stupid darkside transition that turned you into a walking corpse when you hit DS mastery. I didn't see Anakin's skin falling off after he murdered all those children.

Err... I remember now. I think the game I tried was in Spanish. IIRC, there is a French release, too.

It hasn't? But I played it and I can't speak german.

You know, the really sad thing is that their avatars are completely different, as are their signatures.

Heh. They call anything an empire, these days.

Efficiency and energy transferred are not the same thing. I'm not going to argue that Lee can do more with his muscles than Tyson could, but nevertheless, Tyson is stronger. I wouldn't know, I don't think one has ever tried. I think that has more to do with mastering pain than delivering a strong punch. No facts there, buddy.

Faster, that is debatable. Stronger... are you on crack?

Err... the reply was directed at Flatus, not you. Carry on with your 1337 ninja frenzy. :ph34r: (End of thread)

If you say so.

Is it?

So are most martial arts these days.

You are right. There are no movies of boxers learning teh ultimate secret martial art and then proceeding to beat dozens of uber commandos of death that are trying to take over the world. Therefore, boxing is not a martial art.

Don't remind me.

Are you familiar with the term "straw man"? Ah, I guess the irony is wasted on you.

"The smell

In the future, after an unspecified climatic catastrophe, the world is a wasteland. Lots of raiders and bandits are free to rob, maim and murder. That is what they do with the PC's family and that is what causes his lust for revenge. The PC proceeds to walk through the wastes to some place called the "new government" that is nothing but a waste dump from where the self appointed president (which is a part-time farmer) is trying to unite the wasteland. Obviously, he's happy to have a new mercenary willing to get shot for him. And thus, you embark on your crusade to avenge your family and stuff. I didn't really get much into the story, as I installed and uninstalled the game in the same day.

Well, it most certainly can't be worse.

Yeah. I always thought it was lame that you couldn't get scientific advancements from other civs through war. Guess they don't want to give war too much importance. Depends on what are your aims for the war. At any rate, making war without significant technological advantage/numerical superiority/advantage in industrial capacity is neither easy nor fun. If that's the case, I'd say let them attack, repel their offensive and let them chill. The AI isn't that great at planning naval operations once you deal with the first waves. At that point, I'd aim for other victory conditions. And unless you are thinking of turning the world into a wasteland in which the only remaining civ is yours, don't even think of using nukes. Don't bother building them, either. Everyone will instantly hate you when you drop the first, and most will declare war when you drop the second. Ironically enough, it's perfectly fine to exterminate whole cultures with standard weaponry, but use a nuke and lo! world coalition on your doorstep.
