I only fall short on RAM for recommended specs. But after reading this thread, I've gotten pretty excited :D

The lack of posts and excitement for this game is sad

strategy games dont count on SW, you all know that. Rule number 647b. Games or genre's not abundant on consoles are immediately dismissed as trash and should not be hyped or spoken of unless accompanied by the words "it is only a_______"

Nice attempt at trying to be funny, but let's get serious for a moment. Hermits hyped StarCraft II like there was no tomorrow. Don't blame consolites for the lack of hype for this game. SW Hermits just don't care for what SHOULD BE the best Strategy game of this generation.

Some people take SW way too seriously, :P

How dare you!!!!!!!

But for keyboard mashing, panicky, plays all RTS games on easy players like me, TBS is awsome!!!!!

I love RTS too though. CoH and DoW series are up there with my all time Favourite games.

TBS are great for someone like me, play at my own pace, go make a cuppa between turns, sort the kids out and so on

RTS generally have less to do with the S part than TBS :P, it's alot of twitch gameplay with countering.

Game will unlock in around 16 hours, can't wait. Civ 5 will be my game of the year.

System Requirements Lab says I can't run the game on minimum settings because I don't have a 1.8GHz Dual Core CPU, despite the fact I have a 3.22GHz Dual Core...

I'm going to take what they say with a grain of salt.

hypoty

Same here, it only sees that I have a 3.22GHz. It might be the type of processor.

Oh, it comes out in less than a day. :lol: I had no idea.

It is coming so soon, and I cant wait. For Swedish gamers steam is a rip off, with some retailers selling hard copies for almost 10 EURO less (I see retailers going as low as 375 SEK which is around 40 Euro).

By the way, I mentioned earlier about forums complaining about lack of some multiplayer options (Simultanious Turns and only autosaves), after reading the manual I can confirm that the options are in the game thankfully as my generally impatient younger brother will have enough patience to play the game with me.

I see user scores on a few sites in the 7-8 range. They better be trolling. Still looks like an AAA (9.5) game to me.

The game does not have enough explosions or quick time events for my taste. Hell my scores are based on EPM (explosions per minute) :P.

I'm hyping AAA with this one. It's gonna be another amazing entry in the series.

Not much longer to wait.... :)

This may be my first strategy game for PC. They've always seemed daunting to me, especially the online. But it seems accesible enough for me to get into it, and if I enjoy it, I'll get in to the genre is a whole.

felipebo

They seem to come and go for me.

Like when I was younger I played so much C&C: Red Alert, and WC2. Hours upon hours. I ate it for breakfast (without any milk), lunch, and dinner.

The next one I recall playing a ton of was Tiberian Sun, then Empire Earth 2, and then Civ IV, but I can tell you there have been tons of high quality ones within that time period.

Something changed in me I'm sure because I don't play strategy games like a maniac as I did with those mentioned games, and I don't anticipate many upcoming strategy games either.

For me, I basically don't have the time again, it's why I shy away from most RTS these days.

Damn I really gotta build that new PC soon, I REALLY wanna play this.

That's one of the factors for me, but I mainly don't have time becuase I spend it all playing TF2 or lurking these and other forums when I'm not at uni. :P

Trying to cut back though. It was 20 hours per week I was playing TF2, and now it's 10 hours, so.... :P

C'mon where's the demo! God i hate living in Europe sometimes! =(

*edit* its 5.30 in the morning

AAA, and seriously can't wait for this game. Never played a Civ before either :o

My play time has gone down alot too!

9 more hours until the game unlocks on Steam? I'm going to sleep.hiphops_savior

2 days and 18 hours for me :(

Pre-loading it right now on steam, 2 days 16 hours until it unlocks though. I think it is safe to say all my games are on hold form the point i boot it up to the point i get bored of it.

ArsTechnica has released their review. A full 6 pages, overall a nice and very positive analysis (even though there's some questionable points in there).

AAA hype.

Pre-loading now. :D

Ack... I'll skip the dumbed down, combat-centric version :P

I think I might look into Patrician IV for my strategy fix in the near future...
