Im not sure that cod is good expample, that game its a bad port and looks bad, so people could be shocked about its requirements. btw. 85% steam users have win7 or 8.

Why not dx11? (i think its ~4 years old). Im not a programmer, dont know anything about pros and cons dx11/10, but i checked the steam survery stats. Theres ~55% users of dx11 gpu+os, so it gives us about 30mln users ready to play dx11 games.. so why not dx11?

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="21" id="3412110"] I found my experience with Steam very disturbing. Not the code, or function, but the support. My first Steam game was Sid Meier's Civilization V. Steam provided a bare bones support about discussion about the game without any real support. They didn't monitor the forum, didn't provide any of the "try this first" pinned and locked threads for bug resolution, didn't split the discussion into sub boards that helped split out
Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes Civilization 5 Endless Space (need to check the last dlc) Europa Universalis IV (y i know its not 4x but still a lot of fun, great game ) Starcraft2 fastest 4x ;)
Check numbers on steam, you are alone :P

Will I be able to buy a non Steam version of the game? As the writer of this thing, I suggest you not to hold your breath waiting for it. Stardock will say more whenever there is something to say [quote who="Frogboy" reply="99" id="3407000"]But there isn't going to a be a non-Steamworks version of GalCiv III because it would require too much time and effort on our part to do that. [/quote] So i think not.

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="90" id="3405666"]That's not what the GalCiv series has been so far and I hope it's not where it's going.[/quote] And i hope you're wrong and they will add tactical combat (in any form).
Yup, It took them some time (game developers) to notice the 64bit on PC's :)
[quote who="amckenzie4" reply="32" id="3405308"]Unfortunately I haven't been able to do that for any of the games I have from Steam. That's why I won't be buying GC3 if it's Steam only. The Steam client has pissed me off one too many times, and I'm seriously considering just looking for cracked copies of all the games I've bought through it, so I can actually play them instead of just waiting for them to load. The developers and retailers have my money, but I don't

[quote who="COSIAN" reply="2" id="3404645"] Crap ... apparently not multiplayer? Or I may be reading too much into that. I guess if an internet connection is not required it could just mean yes you can play the game single player without an internet connection?[/quote] you should read this https://www.galciv3.com/game/gameplay/features
Hell, It's about time. :)
[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="3" id="3404557"] Quoting charon2112, reply 2 Please god no tactical combat. combat viewer all the way. +1 on that. It's a strategy series. There are plenty of shoot-em-ups out there. [/quote] -1 ;) We can have both, tactical combat + auto resolve. I would love to see tactical combat in gc3. (tb/rt doesnt matter)
