Spring RTS Engine

Metroid is indeed teh pwn, down to the last title (although I haven't played Metroid Prime, but I don't doubt that it pwns, hard).

About the compass and other ADD-friendly stuff in Oblivion, that dissappoints me, it takes Oblivion (imo) in the wrong direction. Personally, I would have liked if I could have found some way to permanently disable the compass and map in Morrowind, and really on the paper maps you can buy to get around ! Instant warping from town A to town B also sucks, they ought to at least have made it via some Silt Strider-esque transportation (for a toll, of course).

Well no one is forceing you to use fast travel...or the compass...or the map or anything, really. You can set the compass to detect things at a very small radius (like 5 feet) and you could just...not...use fast travel. And just dont look at the map tab in the inventory. Oh and the game comes with a map in the box, so you could navigate useing that.

Have fun playing YOUR way!

My way will be a 'little' less hardcore. Like if i just came home and only have an hour, i dont want to spend 90% of that walking. So i will just use fast travel to get to a dungion (any random dungion i viseted before, as they repopulate based off of your level) and kill mosters. Then i would get to the REALLY fun part without worring too much about the clock.

See its all optional. You could use a horse, if you so wished.

Mmmmmm horse...

Aw damn, I just heard that Oblivion will very likely be using Starforce. A shame, it sounded interesting. (I'm one of thousands of people boycotting any software with this kind of copy protection)

Copy protection and DRM are laughable. There's not one game in my collection that I haven't been able to find a working crack for, INCLUDING several Starforce titles.

Anyone who wants to bypass copy protection WILL. Period. That's all there is to it. Anyone who doesn't want to bypass it will suffer from the increasingly draconian anti-copying tactics - none of which even slow down pirates, let alone stop them.

Source! I DEMAND A SOURCE!!!

Did you know that the Starforce webpage has a working link to illegal downlodes for Galactic Civilizations 2, witch is using a innovated form of copy protection.

That is it has none. And surprisingly, it has very little piracy going on!

Interesting...

Also i'm fairly certain that Oblivion doesn't use star force, and if it dose...then awww hell it'll still play it.

Well Cyder i have some good news!

Who ever told you OB will use starforce (whitch i will now reffer to as the devil) was a blathering idiot.

The devil is as far from OB as it can be! Cheers!

Aha, yeah, about an hour after I posted that I read that the rumour had been debunked... forgot to come back and edit.

That reminds me, I meant to do a thread pimping Galciv 2.

this game looks sick i cant wait to add it to my colection of xbox 360 games. waiting sucks

Lunch box 360 is fine. As long as you don't miss out on mods. And that dosnt sound like much till you realize that there are over...three...thousand...mods...for Morrowind (the third game in the elder scrolls seires). And they were whipped up in the first two years...of the game's five year running. THIRTEEN new mods came out in one site alone...today!

When you think of the staggering amount of content (cause there are mods that litteraly add hour's of entertainment into the game) it seems a little odd to but the game for the X-box three sixty. But it will run better! Slightly...

Once a man asked Peter hines (Oblivion developer)
"How far can you see in the game?"

As far as the eye can see

Unless you have an really bad computer I guess.

Of course...well even then teh distence is scalable.

So you can bring it down like to a half way point, and still be able to shoot goblins in the head with fireballs from a half a mile away.

I will get my copy on friday!!!

Cant wait!! Nearly loosing my mind over it!

!!!

Anybody played it yet then?
Oblivion>>exam revision

Will be picking it up on friday, wont see my computer until sunday sadly, and maybe even then school will force me to wait a day or to =(

Let me just say:

Awe Inspiring. I have played for TEN hours and it feel's like ive barely done anything. After playing FEAR for ten hours i had betten the game. The A.I, the combat, the magic, the mystery, the sights the sounds! Patric Stwerets! Everything is just spot on!

I played through Morrowind during a few evenings. That means i had beaten the main quest by then. Of course there were many more Quests to do, and things to aquire, but playing with no goal gets boring if you play a single player game.

Also, i played as a battle mage, and my starting set of skills included a summon skill that would grant you a so called Daedra Axe for 30 Seconds to wield. That Axe is the single most powerful meele weapon in the game and you wont find a material one until very late in some dungeon. Yet, that skill is easy to use, and once the 30 seconds were over, you could just summon the Axe again, thus i had no porblem chopping any enemies.

I dont know if they ever released a patch for this, but the game was fun anyway.

I wont uy Oblivion though, because i bet its the same as MW, just better, no need to spend more time on it.

wow its amazing

currently in the middle of a killing spree in the imperial prison

Dont worry, AF. Now the game is MUCH more balenced. Lets say you get a Bound Ax Spell. Well first, because its a Journyman level spell, you need to get 50 in Conjuration. Whitch is hard. Then you need to summon it and use it, but if you spend all this time on learning how to use conjuration then you wont be able to use the ax very well. Now skills determin how much damage you do, how fast you attack and what moves you can do. A Novic useing an Ax, no matter how good the ax is, will still get Pw0ned.

Also the game is just so much better then Morrowind in the A.I department, gameplay department, storyline department, gameplay department and (obviously) the graphics department. The improvement is vast enough to warrent buying the damn game! SO GET TO IT!

Andreask clearly missed the point in Morrowind...
I have a character that's been around for about a year, me playing off and on, and there's still lots to do. You don't just rush through the main quest, ya idiot.
