Does the game stay true to the Warhammer Fantasy Battle origins?
Or is it just WoW in warhammer?
I was a big fan of warhammer up until I found out how expensive miniatures really get. I'm not likely to go there until I get my hands on a cheap 3D printer.
If there was an RTS/TBS version of warhammer... That would be pretty sweet. Otherwise this is just WoW in the Warhammer world with likely more system requirements. Will likely pass.
Look at it this way, if 3%-4% of computers run Linux, either full time or in a VM or as a dual-boot, how many people are just looking for their favourite games to work, and then they'd go off and use Linux?
And how many don't give a fuck as long as it works, and their games working is a bonus? I mean, how many people buy Macs and then complain about their windows games not working?
Linux gets a lot of flak for nothing. I wonder how many shills are paid off to browse technology sites and normal sites to troll against linux?
You mean like Tales of Symphonia-styled multiplayer?
In the game you are joined by 8 people, 1 of which leaves, and you can pick to play as the main character or other characters in your adventure, and they come in as the story progresses (at first you get a few quickly, but then later they come a bit slower). The characters can be controller by somebody with another controller, and can be played like if they were the main player, except the main player does all the dialogues and map movements (overworld and the different places).
When you're alone though it does not affect gameplay, it's just the AI plays the role of your friends. You can bark commands at them though, and if your friendship is high enough they'll do it.
That would be nice in spore, in space mode. The leader of a neighbouring race can be played by a buddy, possibly in LAN-only or across the internet, and a few other people can do that too. Hopefully it'd be treated like pacts in alpha centauri, ie, you can't hurt a pact member, ever (units move right through and you must break the pact to attack with a missile) so that you don't get betrayed. Then you can go complete objectives in a two-player-plus mode.
I'm grandfathered so I still have 60GB, but no time nor money to make the switch.
The switch means I'll be paying with a different company, so likely more because I get a 15% discount because we have rogers cable. And I have to buy the modem, there seems to be install fees, and it'd take years to even out the costs, not likely to happen in this house...
It's just some people don't like some kinds of good.
Personally, if there is a patch that will disable DRM, I will buy the game, if not, I will likely download or get it from a friend and then later buy it. If only because EA are maggots. It's too bad you can't just send 30$ addressed to Will Wright and say thanks for the game.
Having high-speed is basically becoming an issue of having a bigger e-penis. You don't really need it, and can get by just fine without it, but sometimes that $50 a month doesn't look too bad when cozied up with instant page loads and more accessibility to video content. It's a modern convenience and, much like driving a big car, owning a big house, etc, it can sometimes be a symbol of having enough money to afford such a technology, even when it's outrageously over-priced in comparison.
Gentlemen, Rie Beam has just discovered the cancer killing the web:
1. Web sites bloat because PHBs want pretty stuff 2. Servers bloat to server that crap 3. Internet needs to grow to pass that crap 4. Users' computers bloat to run that crap. 5. ???
But you don't get raped by new kids who ruin everything by attraction a big company's attention.
It's only a matter of time before somebody hits the Wii with hardware equipement.
Or alternatively, makes a better emulator. Dolphin can boot Wii games. Doesn't get passed the main screen but can boot 'em. There are ways to get the "WiiKey" which is from what I can understand the encryption system.
There are already modchips for the Wii. No need to crack the SD encryption.
Look at the demo shots for Crysis. You could see the light falling onto leaves and the ground in front of you, casting rays from the holes in the canopy way up high, and the guns were realistic. The actual game was a disappointment. CoD4 looked much better and ran on lower hardware.
Just WMP's DRM, and even then it was reverse-engineered a long time ago, and likely solved "officially" by the MPlayer/ffmpeg team.
I wouldn't doubt that there's "cracks" for the Wii's SD card DRM that just haven't surfaced yet. There's a lot of ways to keep things under wraps on the Internet.
It's just, nobody really cares about breaking some forms of DRM... And yeah it's too bad you can't play off the SD cards yet. Maybe it's a speed issue? =/
It would be nice if the post office or local libraries did this. I don't want to go to best buy or radio shack to drop off batteries but I will walk to the library/post office to do so.
Well, it's likely you'll be able to stick games on the SD cards. It looks like a much more "controlable format".
I mean, we all hate to say it, but we know it's going to happen. Every DRM can and will be cracked though, it's just about them making sure it won't be during a sales period...
How the hell am I going to go to sleep and wake up in time?
3PM-9PM, with the sun completely down at 10PM would be pretty sweet. I mean, I'm in school all day, and they're leaving the lights on anyway, so why not? I finish school and it's bright out, it's so great to go outside! It would encourage us to get off our fat asses too. No more excuses. It's now sunny outside when you don't have work.
File the lawsuit. DRM caused the premature death of your CD drive.
Your CD drive is valued at just over 9,000,000$, because it is used to access essential data to your business affairs that you value at such, and the $assholes's abuse of this drive is limiting your business, costing you 82,000$ per day, as per the RIAA's calculation of ~200$ per song, if a song is 3.5mins.
Go on. It'd be fucking sweet to see their stupidity turned against them. I know it's not the RIAA/MPAA but nonetheless related.
Because Sony doesn't do software... Sony does hardware.
Nintendo does software. And yes, you are a threat to nintendo. But I really think you're blowing this out of proportion; I'm damn sure nintendo's helped third party developpers. And if not, well, doesn't the sense of competition make things better?

It probably won't.
At the very least you could make sure you game runs with Wine.
Better than that, just distribute a version of your game compiled against the winelibs.
Better than that, just write whatever patches you need to get your game working under Wine.
Wine is not a native platform. But, between no games, and games with Wine, well...

Is there a working "remove-securom-crack"?
(I don't have the time, patience, or proper ISP to download a 3.6GB file if I can get it on a disc instead...)
I wonder if this is the secret ending in Spore?
Or the reason we never hear from Earth in Alpha Centauri?
Because broadband appeared magically...

Because Sims was good, and so is Spore.

And in the end, who profits?
Welcome to Ontario, where a 25$ a mo plan, 512kbps, with Rogers went from a 60GB cap to 2GB.
All in the name of fucking with the caps for everyone, and making their 50$+ a mo plans more attractive.
At least in Australia we know your corps are all run by criminals. ;P

Crytek isn't innovation.
Crytek is failing on your promises.

Itchy iguana would have made such a good name instead of "intrepid ibex".
Itchy makes you think it's shedding its skin, going on to something fresh. Of course 8.10 is not about that but still.
Not many.

Like a disk can write that fast. =/
But think of the children!
No, really.

Is there no genre Will Wright has yet to touch?
What bad reviews?
Personally I was jumping up and down waiting to buy spore, but you know what, fuck off EA.
Give me a version with no restrictions, or at least less restrictions, and I'll buy eight copies.
Because I was boiled alive in a "hotel" in Florida when I left my religion, right?
I mean, plenty of religious hate, but only so far as it's the people who hate each other, and use religion as their excuse.
In Canada we have something called "Hate trials" or something according to slashdot, where it's cases of hate groups.
Do you think it's possible to build up a strong enough case and win?
Because Sony doesn't do software... Sony does hardware.
Nintendo does software. And yes, you are a threat to nintendo. But I really think you're blowing this out of proportion; I'm damn sure nintendo's helped third party developpers. And if not, well, doesn't the sense of competition make things better?
