MaceUK33 Everything is true Veteran Registered: 01/10/05 Posts: 12261 Loc: Darlington, UK.	Pre-order is available on Steam I see. I didn't know about this one, have the previous game though but not really played much. This one seems to have had a graphics overhaul and is looking pretty good, game-play-wise too. Says on Steam you get immediate acess to the beta if you buy from them. http://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/gameplay EDIT: If you buy from the devs website and already have Trinity you get 10% off which bring it down to £18 for me Edited by MaceUK33 (04/05/12 08:07 AM) _________________________ Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| MSI GeForce GTX 660 Black Knight 2048MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Antec 902 \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Falcon BMS \| DCS A-10C \| Flaming Cliffs 3 \| RoF \| BoB 2 2.12 \| EECH 1.15 \| ArmA 3 "A nugget of purest green!"

Sins is one of the best space strategy games I've played in a very long time. I have over 300 hours of game time logged in the Sins series. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

I think the lack of story made it seem a little pointless. The races have decent backstory, but that just isn't enough. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

The lack of a story-driven campaign with interesting characters that can draw you in is indeed a weakness of the game. I will disclose though that more than half of my playing time in the Sins series has been multiplayer. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

For that, just buy Empire At War Gold edition which is also available on Steam! Now what I would love is a Babylon 5 mod for Sins. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

Brennus Urban Legend Hotshot Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 5306 Loc: Detroit, Mich.	Myself and KlarSnow play Sins on a regular basis. It's the mix of RTS and 4X that makes it different. It's addictive once you get used to it. _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?
