Defcon

Heh, this is one of those gems. A game that doesn't rely on stunning visuals and advanced physics to sell, Just pure gameplay.

 

Yep, this game definitely looks like loads of fun.

I bought a bunch of em off the site (at that price, it's a *steal*), and alot of friends will be getting this one as a christmas present.

The day-one load on this game is tough, if you bought it from the introversion site (not steam), they should have emailed you your keys, and there are various mirrors to download the game. The full game is also the demo it appears. List of mirrors at: http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/downloads/

My favourite part right now: Rolling Demo mode. Watching a few AI's duke it out amongst themselves. Would make one heck of a screen saver

Aggies

 

My strategy sucks but I'm loving it so far.

It's RTS without the drawn out learning curve, which is a good thing imo.

 

Anyone else having massive lag problems(GUI/game, not the internet)..?

Even on everything low it still lags like hell

 

ha ha ha
Nuclear war LOL
with Ferris LOL
I remember that movie it was awesome.
They teach it tick tac toe LOL

 

It's because it constantly talks to defcon home server and that server is being hammered atm so all game joinings, game listing and updates are causing the game to screw.

Im getting this though:

 

Anyway to stop it? :|

 

What, the game? Or...?

That was a damn good review. Seems like a good game, I might get it when I complete Darwinia in the next year or so

 

Plug the plug on your internets and find out.

It shows up as giving main server messages on the bottom RHS of the screen, so Im assuming it talks a fair amount.

 

Unplugged my wireless, tried the game still unplayable, surely it cant be this bad!?

The menu isn't so bad, but as soon as the game loads its all out graphics lag.

XP2500+@2.19Ghz, x1600 pro AGP, 1gb ram pc3200. Windows vista..

I want to play it

 

Bolded the possible problem. That, or Defcon's server is so hammered, that it's like a big DDoS.

 

This game is just begging to be played on a projector screen, with lots of whirring mainframe tape drives round the edge of the room

 

Oh i love this game. the demo is fantasic... will buy it tomarrow.

THey had a message about the internet servers being down due to overwellming demand. and that they are fixing them. The gmae may get a little "old" but once you start using more stratigy and multipul players that goes away fast... Its like Chess with hand grenades.

 

Surely this is crying out to have a PC mod made for it, it would be so cool.

 

In case you haven't found them yet.

System Requirements
Recommended: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, P3-600-Geforce 2, 128 Mb RAM, 60 Mb Hard Disk, Internet connection for multiplayer games

 

I may have to try the Demo when I finish work. Looks to be a very good and addictive game. Also could be a game my dad will enjoy when I tell him about it. Risk is his life.

 

I can safely say this game is AWESOME!!!!

And yes on a project of 75" greatness it looks so superb, sitting in teh dark, with the base turned up

*insert evil laugh here*

 

Probably going to buy this, it looks great.
Another of the great cheap games on Steam is Uplink. Such an awesome, addictive game, but it still doesn't seem to get much attention.

 

Pretty annoying this.

I love the demo, but can't get the game because Steam won't take Maestro and none of the usual stores are going to be stocking it.

EDIT

Introversion.co.uk accepts my card (£10 aswell )

 

I'm gonna get this, but I reckon I'll wait till the bugs have died down. Going on this thread it seems a few people are having some rather serious problems atm
