andysim Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) now thats a epic picture. :joystick: on the subject of TF2 I think the Gau-8 might be just a little bit big for the heavy hehe. "It cost $400,000 dollars to fly this A-10c for 12 seconds" hehe that might work though Edited March 25, 2011 by andysim
metagroboliser Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 It takes time for Steam to create the sales page and set up the file transfers. I would not expect to see it for sale there until early April. *bump* :D ... just checking if there's any further word on this.

Frostiken Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Now that is just cool. :) You gotta stick this on the front of it.... Why / how is that gun chromed? It's not... you can't... what? EDIT: I guess it's just a chrome disc they stuck on the front... that would make sense :p [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SmukY Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Any news about Steam release? Helicopters don't fly, they just subdue the air. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
112th_Rossi Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Yep. Some news would be great. It's the only thing im waiting for so I can buy this game! :D
RSharpe Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I wish I could transfer my license to Steam.... I hate Starforce. I've reinstalled my system many times over the last six months, and I've lost all of my activations because who could honestly remember to deactivate all of the games that have this kind of silly DRM?
112th_Rossi Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 It's interesting. Cliffs of Dover DRM was removed a week after release. Wonder what will happen here.
ARM505 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Well, steam is a kind of DRM too, so it's not like they removed it totally. I have no idea what 1C was trying to do with that other DRM - maybe because steam games are cracked at release nowdays? Still, it was a waste of time. Serious sim users buy their software almost 100% of the time (I'm guessing, but I think it's a good one)
nomdeplume Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Serious sim users buy their software almost 100% of the time (I'm guessing, but I think it's a good one) I'm guessing also, but probably 'serious sim users' are only a smallish portion of the actual sales of 'serious sims', and insufficient to sustain the quality of products 'serious sim users' demand for their $60.
EtherealN Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Actually, some self-described "serious sim users" don't pay if they can get away from it. Trust me on that. The above post indicating that "serious sim users" aren't the sole customers of ED products is, however, quite correct also. Remember Game mode - it's there for a reason, even if the hardcore crowd on the forum try to pretend that it isn't. And that's as far as this DRM derail will come.

Gimpymoo Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Well, I have no valid source but hear the Steam release date is scheduled to be April 22nd. Could someone from Eagle please confirm/deny this?
metagroboliser Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 ... the Steam release date is scheduled to be April 22nd. Good heavens, I hope not!
kingneptune117 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Is there a section in the manual for game mode yet? For the people out there interested in it, i'd imagine it is quite aggravating to not know how to simply fire off a maverick.

Glocjt Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 This just in: "A-10C release candidate version for Steam in testing this weekend."Can't wait to jump in the 'hog with everyone else! :)
Jonney Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I'm hanging on every post about a Steam launch too. Really hope it's the 22nd or before but I'm not pinning too much hope on it as there have been no official comment that I can find apart from the 'about a month after' the full game was released. I assume it'll probably just appear as there is nothing in the 'coming soon' section of steam. Oh well, back to Portal 2 and waiting.

Kenan Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I don't like Steam and the fact when they have issues/server problems, you can't start any of the games on the list. At least that was my experience back in the days when I used it. I don't know if they've improved on this specific issue.

rud Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Kenan: if you can't connect to the server you can put steam in offline mode. Obviously can't get updates, can't play multiplayer, but games still work. There are a handful of games that absolutely require internet access to play (I'm thinking ubisoft...) but that's separate copy protection from what steam uses. Still, in this case everyone wins. Don't like steam? Buy it from ED. Like steam? Buy it from steam. Edit: I also wanted to say GREAT pics on the steam store for the A-10C! I don't know who picked out what screenshots to show for Black Shark, but it's always irked me that there isn't a good picture of the cockpit on the Black Shark steam page. There's one pic where you can see a few instruments through the NVG's but that's it. These A10 pics really do a better job of showing the sim off I think, but just my humble opinion.
