RE: I may like thinking about games more than playing them.

I find myself in a similar place at the moment, jack. Odd feeling. I've spent far more time reading about and watching people play certain games, than actually doing so myself. Just figured I was a one-off oddball :-P

RE: HoI IV $30 on greenmangaming.com

<t> I've only got 3 hours in it, and I hate that they axed the in-depth organization, but so far I've really enjoyed it. Tutorial has been good so far, and there's loads of helpful pop ups. Battle plans are a lot of fun to set up and execute. I can't help but wonder if they took some cues about ...

RE: Think there will ever be....

<r> You might check out Train Fever. I never got too far into it in the early going, but the developers have made improvements to the original iteration and it's much better than when it was released. Perhaps not your cup of tea in the end, but it's certainly worth a try/look. Especially now that it ...

RE: I feel like a Beta Tester....... I have already done !

<t> Try the 1.02 Beta patch over on AGEOD's forum. It's worked well for me. I've experienced the repeated crashes also before I installed the patch and agree that it's very frustrating, but saying that WoN is unplayable is an exaggeration. I've quite enjoyed my time with it, despite the crashes ...

RE: Great Manual, better video tutorials

<t> Depends on the game. War in the West and Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa come with snazzy hard-bound manuals, but I don't think WoN does come with any form of a printed version. Maybe I'm wrong? CW II came with a printed color manual in the boxed edition, so I could very well be wrong.I do have ...

I kind of feel like us egg nog lovers are like the Marines of the dairy drinkers. The few, the proud. I don't know a whole lot of people who actually like it, haha.

<t> zakblood, how did you get it to do a clean install? I updated my laptop last night and I never saw it give me the option, so it just kept all the old files and programs on my hard drive. Did I miss something during the process? I left the room for whilst it was updating so it's entirely possible ...

If you're in for sports sims, Out of the Park Baseball is one of the best there is. The amount of detail and depth within OotP is extraordinary. Highly recommend it.

RE: question on steam

Steam will run offline. Yes the client opens, but you are not required to connect to the internet to play most games. Only caveat is that it won't keep track of your play time logged whilst offline. Obviously that's not a huge deal for most folks.

RE: Warhammer: Total War

Cinematic trailers are all well and good, but they have about as much depth and substance as a Total War game does. That said, I am interested to see how this pans out. Maybe a change in subject matter will spark something positive for CA.
