    While HG2 is considered part of the mecha genre, I would say that the similarities end there. Lore is much faster paced, and as a dev, I feel we are much more connected to our community. Lore also has peristent stats which affect the universe directly, so every battle counts. I dont know of another game where this happens. The devs are usually on the gaming channel to help with technical problems and to answer other questions.

  2. OK...got the demo...can't login... by Spoing · · Score: 3, Interesting
    First off, I had to use this command...
    1. export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19

    ...to avoid this error;

    1. libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

    Second, attempting to login I do the following;

    Load the game.

    Click "Create new account".

    Type in information;

    User: a_user_name
    Password: a_password
    E-mail address: valid.name@mydomain.com

    Click "Create Pilot".

    Check mail...nothing. OK, let's try.

    Punch in;

    Login: a_user_name
    Password: a_password

    Click 'Remember password' and press Login.

    Error: "Login failed: Unnown error, please try again Denied"

    Hmmm. Maybe I did it wrong. Punch in;

    Login: valid.name@mydomain.com (instead of a_user_name)
    Password: a_password

    Click 'Remember password' and press Login.

    Error: "Login failed: Unnown error, please try again Denied"
