As much as I love the Civ series (and I will definately get Civ 5)

It still boggles my mind why there has been only one Alpha Centauri.

StopThePresses

Maybe they should just release a new one as an expansion instead of a full release? Would get a lot of people into it especially with the help of Steam.

If you want an all alone shooter in dark corridors with cheap scare tactics that'll make you jump every now and again get Doom 3.

If you want a game with good action that makes you feel like you're part of a planetary invasion get Quake 4.

Darksiders although it isn't an RTS or an RPG.

the intro I cant skip till about 10 seconds in for some reason,

Baranga

Delete the intro videos in the game's folder (steam - steamapps - common - civ5).

I thought the demo lasts 150 turns. I was one turn away from attacking Rome when it ended at the 100th. HRNGH

Same thing happened to me! Greg on the 2k forums lied!

I had all my troops massed around Athens and had just brought my catapults up and boom turn limit reached gaahhh

Oh well at least I got to slap Bismark around a little bit before the end :P

Gonna be the longest 2 days ever.. regional releases suck :cry:

All I see is some villain sitting on his high throne preaching his propaganda to the enslaved people while Valve, Epic, Blizzard, iD Software etc. brandish their swords, ready to lop the monster's head off and claim victory over darkness!

Right let's move on because honestly no one cares what this guy says anyway. Heck, he even considered an idea of selling video game cut scenes separately from the actual game, so *shrugs* , let him enjoy himself in his own little world in that head of his.

mhofever

Blizzard as in Activision Blizzard? Of which he's the CEO.

Yeah the mouse and keyboard really makes you notice how slow and crappy the game feels in comparison with more popular MP FPS games on the PC. The whole thing just feels like it was made with the controller in mind.

[QUOTE="NorthernRoses"]I have rarely been able to buy a brand new sealed game as the prices in the UK are quite extortionate at thatnethernova

Hahah yeah I buy from GAME UK sometimes and all their games are pretty much half price, kinda like Steam for the most part :P

Anyway report these people to eBay and they'll sort it out for you, they're pretty good with these things.

To be honest it just looks like warhead has more color saturation, the original looks more real IMO.

I like it a lot, the scale is massive and it's a lot of fun albeit a bit basic in some departments.

My only gripe is the way the mouse is set out, it's left click to select and order units and right click is cancel... It's just needlessly annoying and I don't understand why they had to try and be different when the standard layout is perfect.

Without spoiling too much there's a prison related mission in The Lost and the Damned add on.

And yeah I suppose the money is just there for all the free roaming you might wanna do later on.
