Pages not found for me.

I loved the last few games, though I thought the Venice expansion was lacking of extra features. Day one buy for me though!

Hey, this might be very interesting. Cannot open the page too and cannot find any other infos on the web.
I also loved the previous games, let's hope this one is good too.

BULLER

The war aspect would add a massive new dimension to gameplay. It has to be implemented well though, its a big ask but i hope they pull it off! Looks like a very promising game

Sephiroth_dude

I've preorded the collectors edition on amazon

Sephiroth_dude

so anyone getting this?

cherryghost

I'm gonna wait until the reviews come out. I don't really have enough time to play everything at the moment so unless the reviews are mind-blowing, it'll be a filler for me

murphm45

The demo looks decent but it seems a bit taxing on the computer.

These games are great but a bit too addictive so i might give it a miss ... for a while at least.

cherryghost

Ok the demo's sold it for me.

Great demo. Really liking the fact that they're attempting something new in the series.

well thats good to know,didn't even know there was a demo :O

cherryghost

Demo!

Bought and downloaded it there but it won't load

Edit: the UK website says it isn't out till the 18th

Sephiroth_dude

Anyone play it yet?I have it on the way from amazon

grizzly

Nice review up on Destructoid.

cherryghost

Game is getting universal praise. 89% is the lowest review I've seen so far. Getting the game towards the end of the week!

ktulu123

Played the demo there, really good! Think i'll get this, not liking the steam price tag though. Anywhere cheaper to get it?

Amazon? I got the collectors edition for same price thats its on steam.

Sephiroth_dude

actually I got for 43 which is still much less than steam

Maximilian

wasn't all that impressed by the demo but it's getting great reviews, so I think I'll pick it up. Need a good strategy game until SOTS2 is made playable.

the_syco

Is this kind of SimCity? Looking for something like that for a while, and the screenshots of ANNO remind me of SimCity in a way.

grizzly

It's very like sim city. The way you have to make the most out of the space provided to you.

I know it's asking too much, but can you accidentally kill your entire city by say... building a nuclear reactor (or fifteen) next to some highly combustible plant/laser factory? Always liked that Russian Roulette factor in SimCity 2000 :P

Awwww.... may get it anyway, and see if I can "wipe out city" by other means :P

Its nothing like sim city IMO,You gather resources,trade,discover new resources etc etc,no blowing things up as far as I'm aware anyway :-P

It is more of a trading / business sim like Industry giant - working out supply chains, trade routes etc

I was actually just reading on a different forum that there are disasters that happen randomly

VinLieger

Tempted to get this but wanna try a demo first but cant see one on steam.
Plus the drm seems to be ubisofts usual ****e so that really puts me off

Maximilian

Really not a fan of U Play but I think this is probably the best Anno game yet.

Sinking hours into it atm.

Ah sh|te. Don't think I'll be buying it so.

Maximilian

It's not the version of it where you have to be connected to play, else I wouldn't have bought it either. All of the main missions and the sandbox mode can be played offline, as I discovered the other night when their servers were borked. That said, there's elements that can't be accessed without being connected. You can live without those though.

Sephiroth_dude

we should set up a lan type game over xmas? what do ye guys think?:)

nesf

I want this game but really can't decide whether I can bear to pay full price for it. I could be waiting ages for it to go on sale though.

Sounds good, though I'll be away for some of xmas

nesf

Is the game good enough to pay full price for? Itching for a good economic simulation at the moment.

Sephiroth_dude

buy it off amazon its about 30 euro's or there abouts.

I meant the website it was working out at 44 euro on amazon but if you have a voucher your sorted.

the_syco

Got it on g2play.net

€20.99, or €19.99 when I used the points that I had from buying with them before. Downloaded it from Ubisoft, installed, activated online, and when I left it, it was updating.

paulthom

1) go to folder c(or drive where windows is installed to)\windows and launch regedit.
2) search in HKEY_USERS for folder chain Software\Related Designs\AutoPatcher\ProxyConfig and open file UseProxy.
3) change 1 to 0
4) play the game

Seems to be doing something.

Aye. Well, I can confirm it works. I now must figure out how to play it

Also, I have no sound in it.

cherryghost

Apparently the game has surpassed half a million brick & mortar sales :eek:

Maximilian

And no doubt Ubi are still moaning about piracy. I imagine the digital sales exceed that figure.
