Thats what bugs me...

I've been STARING at that one. It looks SO GODDAMN SEXY.

Anyways, I'm stuck with this piece of shit HP Pavilion a250n with a radeon 9200SE. No shader 2.0 support, so basically any space game I can play, sucks. And my moms/brothers computer is a newer one, but built for MEDIA rather than gaming, and she wont let me put a graphics card in it >.>

I want that game SO BAD. I'm sure I'll still like EVE more though, all that slow...Its so fun that way.

I'm thinking of trying it out, but I hope that they won't make it pay2play.

Yeah, but it's probably going to come out in actual stores, rather than downloading it off the website.

I hope it does, and it will be even better if its just B2P instead of P2P.

Also, just got Swat 4. Hope this runs awesome. xD

Yus's.

Although, if you buy a 90day GTC and farm ISK like crazy, you should be able to start making it pay for itself..

Wait, I think they only sell 60 days now.

Either way, its legal to sell GTC's ingame, theres a forum for it on the main site, and they run leik 300-400m ISK.If you are bounty hunting and good at it, that shouldn't be problem to achieve...xD

@Hara, I love EVE. Its heavily player based (the market is pretty much ENTIRELY player driven, and they even have a council made up of a guild..I believe.) But its got a pretty high learning curve, and is EXTREMELY slow. It takes about 90 days to learn how to fly a capital ship, and thats just the Capital ship skill, not all the other skill reqs. Also you can only learn one skill at a time, thankfully you dont have to be logged on.

Also, Hara, what private servers and do you still play? I played Ragnarok back in the day, for about 5 years or so, now everyone I know doesn't play it anymore so I has no one to play withs. Plus last time I played it I played on a high rate and ran every character through. Each one only took about 20-30m to max out.

Fuck EVE then. I really don't have the attention span for that.

Right now, when I get bored, I play on Blackout RO. It's only a high rate server (I hate low rates, again, attention span), and it's ridiculous how strong you can get. MVP's become nothing on this server, so hunting and grinding becomes easier.

I used to play on WhateeRO, which I also became a GM on (had separate accounts for my GM toon and then for my legit toons). I was part of a guild called Shatterpoint (aka Green Demons, we dominated the War of Emporium's, at one point we ran all 24 castles), and after a while, the guild leader started to work on a server without us knowing for a while, and he came to me for some help since I had managed to start up a local RO server for my apartment complex to play on and together we developed VanquishRO. It was fucking amazing, we had an awesome website, control panel, everything. We ran for a year before we had to close due to real life. I'd still like to get a dedicated server running RO again, but for now, I am enjoying bRO.


Lemme know if you ever make a server..

As it turns out, bRO is where I maxed out all those characters, and its laggy as fuck because theres too many people. xD.

Btw, snacks, I'm downloading X3: Reunion now. Have you tried it or any of its predecessors? Are they any good? You seem to be the one in here who likes space games the most, so that's why I'm asking you. :P

HIGH HIGH learning curve, all reviews will tell you that. X2 has tutorial stuff, but really, I like X3 more for some reason.

Sadly, my computers cannot run them smoothly. It depresses me massively.

I would suggest googling XTM and downloading that, make sure you patch X3 up to 2.5, install the bonus package off their site (All you need is an account) and THEN install XTM. XTM makes it more fun. I can't wait till they finish the BSG mod. <3.

Most who played the first two games and their expansions are probably going to disagree with me now, but I really liked Age of Empires 3 and it's expansions. Not too immersive, but still lots of fun. I also love playing as Ottomans and pwning the shit out of people with their ?ber heavy cannons.

I tried AoE3, but for some reason didn't like it. I still love AoE2 though.

I recommend trying it again, and trying to level up your city a bit, to get at the good shipments. It gets really fun in the end. Also, don't buy shipments that boost the explorer, since he sucks anyway. I use him as a one-time use unit. Once he dies, too bad for him. Unless you're playing the warchiefs expansion, of course, in which case the war chief gives your other units a nice boost, once you've gotten some of the better shipments.

x3 is pretty good, I heard that XTC (terran conflicts) wasn't that great, I believe thats the expansion you are talking about. X3 just kinda puts you right out into missions, or you can choose to do things your own way and play without a storyline...I dont know what the major goal is, I personally find it kind of dull without multiplayer, but still satisfying. Jumpgate Evo looks like its going to be like X3, and the Evochron games I really want to play, but its impossible to find them without needing 25$.

I don't know, it just seems like once you've played one space sim you've played them all.  And playing offline ones is definitely more boring; they just stay so staic.  I've been patiently waiting for Infinity for a while now, though.

Infinity does look awesome. I found out about that about a week or so ago, a post on some forum back in 2k4 or so said it was hopefully releasing soon.

I've played it.  It's very, very, very, very simple.  It's a combat prototype and that is it.  It's kind of fun, but a bit confusing.  I'm sure the actual game will have a better learning curve.

I have to play with extremely low end graphics, so it wasn't exactly creepy (Yus, games with better graphics = more creepy, its trues) and it pissed me off. I did it like five or six times because that door was IMPOSSIBLE to see.
