umm, is anyone finding gamespot's DLX services really really crappy? i've used it before but man it's gone downhill since then.

anyone got a mirror of the file anywhere?

It's not that bad.


PROS:

- No lines a la Fileplanet
- It's free
- It's usually one of the fastest way to get new and official files
- No time-outs
- If the program shuts down (for some reason), you can resume your downloads like Bittorrent

CONS:

- You are required to download the plug-in DLX delivery service (takes up space)
- It automatically locates the closest server in your area, which isn't always the fastest (but you still get your files within reasonable time :E )
- Some files take a while to appear on Gamespot's servers


:D I find the service really good. The PROS seem to outway the CONS, unless I missed some important points. Either way, It is still one of the best ways to download game content.

Now where is the Demo? I'm so eager to play! :bounce:
 
yeah i see your point ;)

just being grouchy because i can't play Evil Genius yet :p


EDIT: also, i don't get why they'd be releasing it on anything other than GMT time. i suppose it's because VUGames demanded it be released on a north america time. it's silly. i can walk it to camden, pop in to see demis hassabis and ask him for the demo :p well i could but i can't be arsed really.
 
Everybody get it from Bittorrent so I can download it faster!
 
I think Bittorent is the only one avaliable at the moment. All of the mirrors are full. And I would rather not wait in line at Fileplanet. :hmph:
 
I downloaded it but it was corrupt or somthing, so I am trying again and the DL is about 10 times slower.
 
Just finished the demo, VERY FUN game. Probably the most unique game I have ever played. Only thing I hated about it is that like every 20 seconds you get attacked by the good guys. I cannot wait for the game to come out.
 
Hmm, didnt get past the demo, but ive been playing it for a good half-hour . Very Unique game, and its very cool but i hate how every time I went to try and interrogate that guy, I would get interrupted by some guy trying to blow up the base, it gets kind of annoying but still fun

yeah the constant enemy agents were annoying.

but the rest of it is just quality :D love it!

definitely gonna buy it when it comes out. actually scrap that. gonna buy a copy to put in each room of my house so i'm never without it. bliss :)
 
I so suck at this game, took me about 2 hours and I failed the demo...damn. I know what I did wrong though, I thought I had unlimited funds so I built a whole lot of random crap. To keep the enemies out of your base just right click on your doors and turn them up to security level 4.
 
For some reason the sound won't work for my game. The music plays, but even the sound effects in the titles are nowhere to be found. Anyone else have this?
 
anyone have difficulty installing the demo? ive downloaded it from two different sources and about mid way through installation, it says some file may be corrupted or something
 
Woo 34kb/sec ¬_¬

But I know it will be worth it, modern day Dungeon Keeper !
 
Downloading now, cool concept - will post impressions later.
 
This game has too much micromanagement for me, and I usually love sim games. Oh well, I'll give it another go later.
 
I've just beated the demo
This Game ROXXX !!
The New Dungeon Keeper :D
 
Haha, great Demo. Took a while to get into it but once I figured out most of the controls it turned out to be good fun. The building isn't as fun as I'd hoped though, which is a pitty but ah well. That English lass ain't the perfect choice for a voice actor though, sounded very unenthusiastic. I want over the top voice acting !

Oh and the animations were very good too, very fluid and fun to watch when your minons performed your devious tasks and such.

7/10
 
Hah I beat it. Loved every minute of it. I especially loved the interigations. Can't wait to get this game.
 
THE BEST PART OF THE DEMO is when the inerigation went on.. ROFL, LOVE THE HUMOR ..
and the chinese guy's moves...

The game had lots of bugs. As i can see. The enemys are really retarted. They come in your base and walk around for a LONG time ..WEIRd

the game doesnt really tell you if they are in the base.. and the attacking tag thing is REALLY retarted ..... They only attack if you MAKE THEM AARGH... The henchmen only attack if you make them attack individually ..

The minoins on your team Seem to SLEEP A LOT !! :rolling:

They walk around because you have it on stand down (green alert) which means they don't care about anything. The enemies are supposed to be sneaking around the base. Like in perfect dark.

Try turning it on red alert and they attack enemies on sight. It's set that way so you don't end up killing enemies that you want to capture.

BTW, will there be multiplayer for this game?
 
I just put the front door on security level 4 and make a ton of mercenaries, takes down that kung fu dude no problem.
 
I loved it to bits :D, but I really didnt understand when the enemy kept walking around in my base...but thanks to previous posts, thats cleared up now :p

You can't in the demo, but in the full version you can steal it

This game will for sure be something I buy, one of the few FPS's I got into.
 
It was fun, albeit a little short. There were rather alot of enemy agents to deal with, but the devs have already claimed this is to action-pack the demo more, and it shouldn't be quite so bad in the full game.

Oh, and interrogating people in the kitchen mixer bowl is (evil) genius ;)
 
Its a pitty the demo was short, but it was hell, afew issues though.

- Con workers attacking agents while my fighers SIT AROUND IN THE MESS HALL.

- To many people attack you, it was easy, but you dont have any time to yourself.

- I dont see the point of not haveing red alert on, or at least yellow, as if you suddenly get attacked, you wont have time to grab your weapons.

you don't control your minions, but you can control your guards (i think).

if you put gun cabinets right near the entrance to your base, and put your base on red alert, your minions/guard/mercs will grab them straight away. trick is to put your armoury right next to the training room.
