DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release?

Post by cookie monster »

Hi Guys & Gals

Simple question really.

Are you gonna buy DW Legends at release?

I will buy the Digital Download version.

The info I have is that you need Distant Worlds plus Return of the Shakturi to install Legends on top.

I hear Distant Worlds may be packaged with ROTS for the new buyers. Perhaps Matrix can elaborate.

Also do the Beta Testers of Legends get a free game? I presume they do!

I think the beta team is already on the job, too late to join them now [:)]

Buy? Oh yes, very much so, unless I happen to find a complete horror story from a reliable source right after release. Approximately during the time it takes me to type my credit card number.

Digital? Of course, I don't want more physical stuff than necessary in my life.

Bug hunting? Leave the poor Sluken alone! Racists really...[:-]
 
I will get it, but maybe not install it until my AAR in the Shakturi timeline got a decent end. Since it is made to resemble the idea of an enterprise like ship it will be able to end anytime though.

Both digital and physical copy for me. Call me Mr Materialistic!

I just see it as a way of showing my support for the work Elliot and co are doing.

I am not a 4X junkie at all. I think I maybe have bought something GalCiv once, but not played it much. I love DW, though.

I have enjoyed Europa Universalis, and played the original the most. I think DW is in many ways similar to this one. The slow, relaxed, real time setup.

Currently I want to play Legends while waiting for the Old Republic...

But....don't you get a cool sensation when you press the "End Turn" button?[:D][8D]

The Old Republic....kinda feels like our Republic doesn't it. "Have we not heard the chimes at midnight..." "Have we not heard the knell which summons thee to heaven or to....hell".

Gosh! Whew I got heavy there for a moment....this is too much for a Saturday morning! I knew I shouldn't have listened to winds of change so early.

Uh shortly? You're kidding right? [;)]

I'll be on to get it the moment it is released if I'm not at work.

Both digital and physical. I like to browse my physical collections of games and movies, and I want to support Codeforce and Matrix.

Which would be good but this time I want it as fast as possible [:D]

C'mon Data, really.........haven't you seen the cost of 100 pounds of Chips Ahoy on the
Galactic Market lately? Not to mention the shipping costs. [X(]
It would be worse than trying to secure Igard's Romulan Ale!

If I get a digital copy (i never buy them), will I be able to redownload it for unlimited time, or is there a time limit?

Just in case my PC crashes or something like that.
