I don't mind waiting either. In fact, while I'm waiting, I'm off to install and play my copy of Pacific Storm which the mailman just brought. Can't wait to see what those 18" guns on the Yamato can do... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Um, this doesn't smell good.

Well, I just installed the full game, and didn't see anything about security measures. Game is running great. I have heard there are bugs, but haven't encountered any yet. But every game has bugs. One thing about this game though, very steep learning curve. No jumping right into this one; the tutorials and study of the manual (and a nice big one it is) are a must.
Yep, I'm going to be a good long while with this one. From what I've seen of it so far, I think it's going to be pretty good. IGN.com has a review up for those interested...

Don't like the sounds of that neither RLB, Cap'n tucker did ye read the fine print,licence agreement might tell ye, they have a way of putt'n security stuff on yer computer and yer not aware mate, after installaton it asks ye to reboot yer computer usualy a good indication. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Don't worry, it uses Tages <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> not so lethall.
 
I'm sorry, but any time a <b>Demo</b> installs outboard security measures, the company has violated the public trust

so it becomes dangerous to give them any further support.
 
But for those of you who have the full game . . .

Fun Fun Fun

Major download site!! for Mods!!
 
Picked up Pacific Storm yesterday an yeah! its huge micro management ++++, Training mission went fairly well except didn't get option to choose sides it was greyed out so had to play as Japanese, probly just as well cause after my bombers ran ot of bombs cause ye only get one bomb per plane <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> I had to Kamakazi the 5 hangars you need to blow up, my planes wouldn't land to rearm, also the two convoys of transports you need to take out turned out to be three convoys of transports, bomber tend to bomb the ocean rather than targets so ended up Kamakazi enemy ships to pass training. apparently you don't get penalized for that cause their is no reward system for passing training other than when you start campaign you are made commander of forces.Also I noticed no collision detection on transports cause they were traveling in a straight line s when one slowed down due to damage the one behind it goes through it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
Despite these few problems it was pretty fun, decent model graphics, tutorial was well done.

When it comes to campaign's, Yikes! now ye know why the manual is so thick, Gawd !way to much micro management, totaly blew me away.It would take me six mionths play'n 24/7 to remember let alone figur'n all that stuff out. I thought campaign would just commanding ships and planes not building -managing bases, which include warehouses,manafacturing,tranfering personel, loading supplies on ships and unloading supplies as well as bases money management and the list goes on and on, the interface is quite extensive although well done. First task I was given was to manafacture 12 aircraft engines in 55 days, EH! don't think so, not my job <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Tactical missions are fun and there is a Tactical Battle planner where you can create a tactical mission with units you create on any game map, haven't got that far in the game yet. Online play may be more fun as the AI I found so far like most games is very stupid and needs to be patched big time. Keep in mind mates I've only played this game one day and as usual gents, this just me humble opinion of this game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" /> yet another game published under the -> get it out then get it working (maybe) corporate plan.
 
This is actually a pretty good game, micromanagement gets less later in the game as Islands have auto management which seems to work better later in the game, Starting to get the hang of the meat of this game, Japanese finaly attacked one of my bases and am now at war with them. Tried attacking them first just to see what happend and a message came up American people are not happy and took a hit of 30 percent reduced income, Ouch, started a new game. Japanese have attacked my bases 3 times so far and got there asses kicked so far.Moved my Carrier Strike fleet , Battleship battalion,and DD Subs,bulk Heavy Bomber Squadrons to Midway, Pear Harbour and Wake. with two more BB almost finished in production. Also have a Carrier Strike force and BB Battalion in New Guneau backed by fighter squadrons and torpedo planes , 3 sub divisions, which is surrounded by Japanes bases.Technology wise have produced 2100 HP plane engines and am working on Rocket Engines, snorkel and Radar technologies, not sure yet at what point you start on Atom Bomb technology <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> That one should be interest'n <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
