[quote]Hypocrisy to ask for a single player game to be (or have without extra modes like the "offline mode" of Steam) offline and don't force me to use the internet?[/quote] Clearly you get on the internet at least once a day. Why is it such a big deal that you are asked to connect once? Is it such a big deal that you are willing to forgo great deals and awesome games? Clicking a button once while online just doesn't seem to that big of a deal when compared to the stuff you're missing

[quote]The only problem is that crazy Steam weekend deals have started only after Impulse started their weekend buy deals. So you really need some competition for customer interests.[/quote] Steam was offering 75% off deals before Impluse was even around. They were taking advantage of differing price elasticities of different consumers. It had nothing to do with direct competition from Impulse per se.

[quote] Now you are just being rude. My understanding of economics are just fine. You dont listen to others but go for the easy insults. I am 38 years old, have 7 years of economic education after mandatory school and I work with developing Private Banking websolutions. That should be enough, but it isnt really relevant here. What is relevant is that one should be able to have an educational discussion without insults.[/quote] I do listen to others. I'm pretty sure that I unde

I agree. It's too much of a hassle to be online 100% of the time when I want to play a game. Ubisoft is committing suicide in my opinion. I'm not sure how paying customers would put up with that. Ubisoft must have some really killer games coming out for all of that hassle. :P

[quote] I just cant buy anything from steam. They are just... they shit on us, and they can get some of us (see psot above) to get them to think that its ok. horrible.[/quote] I have never have been shit on by Steam. Perhaps if you had indoor plumbing nearby (as I do) they could shit in that instead. I know, I'm crazy for thinking that buying games at 75% discount is an awesome thing. I'm one of those weirdos that cares about maximizing the value of my hard-ear

I didn't know anything about Civ 5, yet I had placed money that this thread had to be about some ridiculous DRM complaint. Good to see that I was right. Call me crazy, but I buy games based on how much fun they are and how easy they are to use. I have to log onto Steam ONCE, set it on offline mode, and I get to play fun games. If you don't have the internet at least one time in your life to run Steam on offline mode, then I'm not sure what the hell you're doing on an internet forum. I don't b

Damn, it's good to see some Koreans beating the current top clans. :D Now you guys finally have more competition. Why the heck are you guys beating up on them? I've 1v1ed 2Nana and he's pretty decent. 환영!

Also, in order to counter it, you've got to spot it. Protoss can't spot it. I can scan them to see what they're doing and where their weakness is. I really don't think Protoss has a counter.

My build was actually inspired by Husky. The thing is they do massive damage to buildings. I can usually have about 10-13 Reapers by 5 minutes, and this allows me to snipe spawns. I'm usually able to rape a Nexus with them. Then I build starports and start getting Banshees.

My favorite strategy with Reapers on Kulas Ravine (where rocks protect your natural): 1. Lift off command center almost immediately. 2. Land it on your natural that's protected by rocks. 3. Build Reapers. 4. Your opponent has no clue where you are or what you're doing. 5. Jump your Reapers off of the cliff and one-shot their base. :D You can't see it coming as Protoss. Dunno how to counter it. As Zerg, your Overlord can spot it.

From levels 1-6, BotF is stronger. From level 7+, BotS is stronger. I always go BotS. While you won't be able to hold flags in the early game, I find that levels 1-6 comprise smaller portion of the game than levels 7+.

I'm probably going to get Starcraft 2. I simply can't find any good recent RTSes elsewise. If we get a good total conversion on SC2 as some ppl are trying, I might get it.
