They run with a single shard structure, so if they close a shard, the game closes. They have also said that while Champions Online does worse than STO, it is still profitable with no F2P model (beyond demo & referral) in sight. |

Those two things are not worth 5€, much less the asking price. |

Ant wrote on May 28, 2010, 11:25: No stand alone demo without Steam? Seeing as the game is a Steam exclusive, I doubt you'll find a non-Steam demo.
The demo has a lot of "Please buy the full version" pop-ups during gameplay and the gameplay isn't that spectacular either. You can fairly easily find free flash games that does it as good/better, so the only two reasons to buy this would be a) OMG! GR4PHIX0RZ! and b) OMG! Alien Breed! |

Acleacius wrote on May 26, 2010, 06:00: For the most part, because people buy dlc, this PREVENTS publishers from releasing Editors, becasue the fans could do much better for free. People are happily making mods for Just Cause 2 without official tools. It has always been more about how much the community wants to do it than about the developers supplying tools.
And games that accept actual DLC (as opposed to unlock keys) tend to be easier to make mods for, since they are made to easily accept new content (if the devs are smart at least). |

Slashman wrote on May 24, 2010, 09:39: No one actually wants to sit and watch a movie that closely resembles the gameplay of the game it was based on because that would be nuts. That would be nuts, but leaving it out entirely is nuts too. For example, in the upcoming Prince of Persia movie I expect the prince to do some impossible acrobatic stuff like you see in the game. Something like jumping from pillar to pillar and stuff like that. You probably won't be disappointed on the acrobatics stuff. I saw the movie last week (early euro premiere) and I'd say that it's a fairly average summer action movie. You won't be missing much by waiting for the DVD/Blu-Ray, but it will fill out an evening with friends quite well if you do decide to go.
I'd rate it somewhere around 3/5. |

Could be great.
(Preemptive attempt to stop self-hyping the game) Stuff that could ruin it:
Way too fractured MP community with too many modes across too many incompatible platforms. Transformations only being gimmics that has no actual gameplay value. Horrible balance. Performance issues. No patches. PC version being a crappy console port. |

Of course, both Paladins and War Trolls want some sort of assistance when facing Draconian armies. Flying archers and mages are annoying. |

That being the case, I wouldn't even bother, As Sacrelicious says, the weekend trial is unrestricted. It's the normal demo version that is limited to the tutorial only. Referral keys will let you enter the next set of areas as well (Desert Disaster and Canada Crisis). |

The two reasons I'm still using XP are a) allocation of funds and b) reinstalling the most important applications is going to take a while (everything would be a weekend or two). |

strich wrote on Feb 23, 2010, 10:50: It amazes me that CS is not only still being played but is still in the top 10. I find it likely that the status just reflects the low amount of weekly sales required to hit the top 10. Just like Demigod is the 4th best selling game on Impulse.
You probably have 2 or 3 games that actually sold well during the week, but it is still a weekly top 10. |

Don't we call that a content patch in every other MMOG? Was wondering the same. How can it be 'free' when you pay monthly? Compare to something like Burning Crusade for WoW or one of the 9 million expansions for the original EQ. |

Gunz wrote on Feb 2, 2010, 03:19: Anyway... I agree that WoW is the champ, and it'll take a lot for a new kid to come close to getting in the same ring as WoW. If you're talking about subscription base, then I have severe doubts that any dev is trying for that goal. That would just be setting up yourself for guaranteed disappointment. 100k subscribers is more than enough to survive comfortably.
If you're talking about gameplay, different people like different styles.
If it's content, then that will take time. WoW wasn't as feature rich at launch as it is today, nor did it have as many mid-/endgame encounters.
Also, WoW did get thumbs down for quite a while. Until Blizzard had spent enough resources to improve the bad parts (login queues, horrible performance). |

...being charged for incomplete downloads (which sounds a little like suing a store because you left the items you bought sitting at the checkout) I would say this is more akin to having the bagboy follow you out to your car with your cart and when you get there you find he disappeared with your groceries. Doesn't the Xbox LIVE Marketplace allow you to redownload something you've paid for?
If so, doesn't that completely invalidate his complaint? |

jdreyer wrote on Jan 26, 2010, 14:06: It will be interesting to see if this can be pirated what with the save games being hosted remotely. With enough resources, I realize anything is possible, but I wonder how difficult this makes it. One method would be to make a local server and either set up a proxy or change the executable to point to that server instead of the Ubisoft one. The local server wouldn't have to do much more than recieve/save and load/transmit the raw data as needed (along with any hashing).
Anyway, they've turned themselves into a very interesting target for any technically inclined/curious hacker. |
