Wow. Thank you for speaking the truth about the piracy issue. I personally bought a top of the line PC two years ago, and I can't run a lot of new games today well at all. It's the one thing which puts me off PC gaming, the one thing thats making me buy console games instead of PC games.
I'm going to do a mass upgrade to my machine during the summer, just so I can run Spore without a hitch. If it's even 1/4th as good as I think it will be, it's going to be the greatest game ever made (For me, anyways, your miles may vary I suppose. I can picture some not liking the game). Anyways, for those that are interested, there's an awesome interview up from Level Up [link="http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/levelup/archive/2008/02/12/exclusive-will-wright-on-why-spore-is-t
Honestly, if someone rates Sins badly, that's entirely within their right to do so. We shouldn't flip out when someone doesn't like the game, it's not for everyone, and lets face it, Sins isn't perfect. With that being said, an 8.5 is good =P
A site I go to reviewed the game. It got a 9.0 http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2008/02/gaming-steve-review-sins-of-a-solar-empire.php
Yeah, I don't have a local settings in my documents and settings folder. I see an "App Data" inside of the Sins folder (Which is installed in program files). They go in there?
What version of the game was this played under? Also, where do you put saved games so that you can view them? I couldn't find it anywhere in the folder.
