He-he. Egosoft need tutorials for their tutorials (yodawg and stuff), because their tutorials aren't tutoring enough. [quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="20" id="3467155"]In the meantime I tried X3 terran conflict for like an hour and maybe im just a noob but I found it BORRING!!![/quote] Boring? You don't even know what boring is:) (I'll explain a bit later). In older X-games flying without SETA is slow process, but I like it for contemplation purposes.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="25" id="3468466"] I've actually seen posts where people compare the graphics of the *alpha* of GalCiv III ti GalCiv II: Twilight of the Arnor.[/quote] Probably they haven't zoomed in enough. As on topic - good, haste make waste. Few will remember game been delayed, most will remember it was bad. Torchlight is good example, some games from "Arts" company are bad examples.

Those charts ignore those who plays offline, and there are enough of us. So my SoaSE or GC playtime is about zero. But to name a few games I've been playing recently (more like "juggling"): Majesty 1/2, Fantasy Wars, including add-on Elven Legacy, which is not bundled with it on Steam, Eador (the first one). Perimeter and Nexus too, though I don't think Sci-fi belongs to fantasy. Ironically the only game I've been playing (several hours long) is Endless Legend, qu

That guy in the middle reminds me someone.

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="15" id="3466392"]Woah, thanks for the heads up buddy. I went humble on the bundle and snatched that booty.[/quote] Heh, carry on - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/13794 Take on Helicopters for just 5 bucks. Also other Bohemia Games are on Sale, so you can taste ArmAs as well (though 3rd is only 40% off). [quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="15" id="3466392"]And I am also a regular o

Since I used to contact Steam support before, and more than once, ehm, be prepared for 2-3 weeks of initial delay, and up to weekly delays between replies. Of course, prepare all SOP, like dxdiag, defrag, drivers, turn it off and on again. :D

Speaking of which - https://www.humblebundle.com/ offers X3:Terran Conflict on "PWYW" model for just 24 hours. Good time to buy as any. As for X-R, I actually like idea of single ship, what I don't like is how it has been implemented.

I like one of Earth seeds I've seen - most hexes available for construction were in seas and oceans. Initial colony was in south Atlantic. What, our descendands grew fins?:)

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="10" id="3466057"]X-Rebirth tried to keep the space flight sim throughout the game at the cost of management towards the end.[/quote] Eh... I kinda had much more management (failed, lol:D) in late (post-campaign) X-Rebirth, than in any previous Xs. Just because the latter worked, and the former didn't. [e digicons]o_O[/e] [quote who="parrottmath" reply="10" id="3466057"] Hence, the large rebuff from the fans of the X-series. (

And I got OCD from reading that text.

You're welcome. :) X-universe was a huge time-sink, and one I've never been sorry about (not even with X-Rebirth). X3 even have "forget about sleep and/or social life" warning - you rarely see honest people these days:). Probably only Space Rangers were similar time-sink (as much as I like Fallout or Jagged Alliance, I'm not sure I've played them that long). Just one notice - beware of "HD" version of Space Rangers, I tried it back when it was released, and I was quite

I don't know, buttons, you say... I don't remember Endless Space, but first version of Dungeon was rather empty as well, and had a lot of "subdued" elements. Stability-wise, I think game is fine, I had some critical errors, yes, but none were caused by time alone. Though I had several during battles, sieges, or should I say attempted sieges?

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="6" id="3465634"] You know what I'm looking forward to? Painting it.[/quote] *excited roar on the background*

Still, what about papercraft? Not everyone has 3D printer, and I doubt my superiors will be happy if I start printing my "crusade fleet". :D Besides, you'll be doing papercraft with your own hands, not just watching printer making it. P.S. Any plans going scale (including die-cast) model market?

textures unwrapping as substitute for papercraft?:)

I support X-universe, very deep, and, uh, captivating series (I don't even want to know how many hours I sink there). Just steer clear from X-Rebirth, it's far from being reborn, and, I guess, that is the reason "Why no discount yet". I can't say X-R is utter garbage, I've played worse, and I even managed to complete the campaign within 3 days after release with just 2 adjustment of savegame (for Egosoft's games is basically "flawless":D), but it's clearly far from bei

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="59" id="3465300"]I can't really explain why their games get such loyal fanbase.[/quote] Maybe because they found something they couldn't in all other places? ES has some points I don't like, but in many other aspects, it was the game I've been looking for. It was natural 10-ring hit, as later Banished was. So, why not support those who make exactly what you want?

So far - only fonts readability, some are too thin, some small, some both.

[quote who="Avatar137" reply="24" id="3461928"]One of the few reasons that I rarely do multiplayer any more, unless it's just with people I know.[/quote] A buddy of mine complained several times that his session in Farming simulator was ruined because some other people, deliberately placed vehicles into hard to reach areas, forcing him to reset vehicles. Due nature of game, getting vehicle and implement back may be rather lengthy process. Personally I remember people delib

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="8" id="3461266"] Wow, my mind is clearly in the gutter. I was expecting something distinctly more... erotic, given the title. I had a great childhood.[/quote] You had strange childhood - I was thinking about Gummy Bears series, where Gruffy got crazy after "thank you" and all dandy after "please". :D Should there be only two "pleases" I'd think about Beatles: Last night I said the

[quote who="ForesterSOF" reply="289" id="3461831"] When I told my daughter she had a star in a game named after her I got one reply. Dad; you are such a nerd.[/quote] I wonder what your rank would be in my table of ranks... No offense. ;)

Island Dog promoting Watch Dogs. Hmm... Regarding game, I really do wonder how it'll handle their horrible uPlay (or, actually, uDon't).

[quote who="screamingpalm" reply="16" id="3461477"]People always need a scapegoat, something or someone to place blame, in everything, not just gaming.[/quote] Nope. If game behaves honestly, I don't need to blame anyone or anything should I fail, because this is my fault.

Oh noes, the rejected my beloved getoffmylawn... Now I'm thinking about moneyback.

Depends on what we call a "poor" session. Sudden PC reboot, or just CTD, caused by buggy engine, without saves made prior shut-down or, worse, ruinied saves (wave games with single save file)? Someone distracted you without apparent reason, like your wife asking you where are her hairpins and you're bald or buzzcut, you don't need hairpins even theoretically? Bad controls/GUI, which aren't helping, like press spacebar to everything, or showing "helpful" images, irrelevant to contr
