Rebasing AC.

<t> This is something I've been thinking about recently, having played a few scenarios which include various numbers of fighters and bombers which I move about for tactical advantage.<br/>
<br/>
Do you consider it "gamey" or "wrong" to re-base AC from their original base? For example, as Red ...

RE: For anyone who thinks online activations aren't a problem

<t> It's not like it was a nothing game though. It was probably United's third biggest match of the year (the bigger ones being the CL Final and the League Cup final, with a few of the EPL matches thrown in).<br/>
<br/>
Never mind though, won the League (unlike a few other rival teams who will ...

RE: I hate bookstores

<t> The Starship Troopers movie, only got the name really late during it's production. It was going to be a generic (if you can call a bug war generic) action movie, until someone realised they could option the license for the book, and they worked in all the references to it. As it stands it's ...

RE: Grand Campaign vs Smaller Campaigns

<t> Couldn't be more wrong about RTS campaigns.<br/>

Yes, whilst skirmish is always going to be the core way anyone who plays long-term and especially online is going to play, if you simply skip the campaigns you can miss out on great gaming and story. Some great campaigns include Starcraft ...

RE: I hate bookstores

<t> I know how you feel. Go to a sci-fi section, and half the space taken up by bad fantasy books, da vinci code style junk and star wars expanded universe crap. Usually without classics like Clarke (There should be a law saying you have to have at least 2 copies of each of the Space Odyessy series ...

RE: For anyone who thinks online activations aren't a problem

<r> Luckily DRM is on the wane almost everywhere at least in consumer level products. The huge backlash over Starforce, games like Bioshock having massive issues with online activations and the general idea of most people who have DRM problems to simply return something that doesn't work and never ...

RE: REVIEW - Brad Leyte's Let's go to war

<t> I finally finished this absolute monster scenario today. After mopping up most of the Chinese forces near Taiwan, I turned my attention to the Russian and North Koreans. Cruise missile attacks strikes from the B-52's took out the Russian bases on the mainland, whilst F-15K strikes did the damage ...

<r> I got through another 5 hours of game-time today (in about 3 and a half real-time hours), I've started clearing out the Chinese bases in the vicinity of the Taiwanese base at Tapei Sungshan, as well as demolishing a naval SAG that was threatening a carrier group.<br/>

RE: Empire Total War

<t> The Special Edition stuff is all publisher/distributor/retailer driven, the devs get told to add 7 units into the game by the publisher (who pays the bills), the publishers turn that into a special edition, maybe a collectors edition as well (with a few random pieces of crap), and sell it for ...
