It's weird enough that so many people are saying it's a great game.

I still can't decide. I'll play some Witcher 2 meanwhile. That is one game I know I must have.

I honestly don't see the difference between SC2 and C&C Tiberium Wars.

Even the construction buttons are in the same place.

Nevertheless, C&C TW is a great game. Played them both, prefer C&C.

I hated C&C but loved SC1 . I think it's more have to do with how the game and theme feels than just simply mechanic. The scenes in SC1 were fantastic and added much to gameplay while I can't say the same with C&C cheap looking videos. I even took them as an insult to my taste and intelligence. They did look so goofy.

The thing is I was never too interested with SC1 hype at the beginning either. Until I gave it a try and then I loved it. I gave C&C a try too but I never liked it as much as SC1.

But you can't really judge how a game feels just by seeing videos of it. I may have to download the demo but can't be bothered due to its size and not so great internet connection.

Its a great game cause its very addictive, its easy to get into and hooked on for weeks, SC2 reeks of blizzard. I only played the beta & back then I played the beta in 1024 resolution with low graphics and I still enjoyed the game play, I remember getting a 'giveaway to a friend' beta key and I put up a post over here on a gaming forum that I have one giveaway key. I got over 300 PM pleading for the key These guys were at my mercy I probably could of sold the key for money. I gave it away to a poster who I remember one time helped me in a thread argument. He was sooooo happy. And I might add he was an Asian.

Anyways never got round to buying the release because my computer at the time was too crap. I might still buy SC2 later on, I already have to many games to play and catch up with! I'm so far behind So im just taking one day at a time so to speak.

I wanted to get myself a ridiculously large Flanker diecast but it occurred to me once I got it I wouldn't be able to 'play' it or do anything with it.

It seems game is a more useful and more entertaining buy.

Thanks Frank because of your opinion I may get it. Maybe next week.

I prefer the Warhammer Dawn of War RTS games over SC series. Just wish they would put out a new Dawn of War. I have the Dawn of War II based on squad play good game but no base building etc

The package arrived today. It turned out to be the premium edition.

There's a map, game guide, manual, a stamped occult letter(with an interesting content about a foolish king), 2 paper craft sheets and an occult coin besides two DVD case, one of which is storing the Bonus DVD and soundtrack disc.

The coin is intriguing. On one side is the compass. On the other side a skull with many Octopus tentacles spread out,

Umm A compass may be a symbol of independence, of one's navigating his life with wisdom. The skull after an internet search represents mortality while the tentacles represent man's many abilities and talents and traits(obvious or otherwise). It seems too much like Masonic symbolism.

I'm just glad the patch is small so I don't have to wait for long.

I usually don't buy premium edition as I don't believe in the premium of premium edition but I don't have a choice here.

Somehow the game can be dizzying

[Castout]

Umm been playing this game nonstop.

I've found a weird bug though.

When protecting King Henselt, when the magical sphere is activated and moving I found I couldn't move nor attack at all. I was forced to move by rolling and couldn't attack any enemy.

Has anyone experienced this?

Game is patched to latest through launcher.

[Arclight]

No, never had anything like that. Can't recall where that is though.

Umm maybe you haven't reached that?

It's Chapter II. The battle with the spectres. Not the beginning but the one after the magical ward(sphere) has been activated.

Played through it once, maybe different plot-line? To be honest my memory of specifics isn't that spectacular.

Ok okay. I played it once again just to check it. Same thing lost all control but rolling.

However when I pressed block it worked and pressing block couple times returned the controls to me. Strange that no one mentioned this.

Could be my AV blocking something temporarily.

I wonder who play Obama's copy or who it ended up with

Umm There's a big issue with the game.

Upon exiting the game the RAM used still read over 5 Gigabyte.

I had to restart windows to get the RAM usage to normal.

Anyone with this issue?

[Castout]

I'm fighting the dragon now.

The second round where the dragon is at half health.

But this time I'm fighting the clunky controls than the dragon

Managed to close to finishing it but got tired with the control(WASD) due to ever rolling . . . . . and got killed due to it.

[Castout]

Completed the game.

There's memory issue with the game.

The game won't clear used RAM after exiting. So if you play the game after exiting it will use more RAM since the last one wasn't cleared.

Only a restart solves this issue.


The official forum is down all the time as well now.
