Ten megs of freshness?

Unfortunately, and note I am not knocking dialup, 10 megs is a miniscule download. I have played games that require that level of commitment every week. While still using dialup, I would download 30 meg files.
I would rather have a well-supported game than be scared off from patches less than 10% of the size of the latest game demo I downloaded

I am on a 56K dial-up that maxes at 24K (old wires up in these here hills) so 10M takes a while, about as long as I need to make a really good sandwich
I am on a mission to see how much coffee it takes to actually achieve time travel.

Ah, well, my main concern was that people without an internet connection won't have all the cool stuff (and some stuff that sounds standard imo)...but then i realized they might not even know about it, so they won't miss it anyway

If you're on dial-up and worried about large downloads get a dl manager like Flashget (there's a shareware version with, I believe, full functionality) - I did that all summer and just left it on at night so that after a couple of days I could even get the monstrous > 100 meg dls.

Getright is the download manager I have, and it works good too. Very helpful when trying to grab huge downloads.A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

As for features, the "original" game already had race customization, only there was less options. Same for Galaxy, the "star distribution" wasn't changeable and now is ...
As for size, indeed 10Mb is nowadays quite small, and should fit in less than 1 hour for most dialup connections (and is 3 minutes with my ADSL, which is NOT very good... )
I use DAP (Download Accelerator Plus), it usually gives 20-25% better bandwidth and allow dl resuming. I'm not sure it'll work with SDC though
...As I plan to D/L FULL 600Mb game it'll make a difference !

From what I read, they are adding more customization and more , what seem like, "luxury features. The MP3 player etc.
The bonus pak doesn't seem to say it fixes any gameplay issues, just adds more flexibility to theoptions that are already there.
who knows, looking forward to read what youguys say.While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.Comment

* Urban Ranger checks Lemmy's temperature
Ey! Before i got on the internet i was already gaming for almost 10 years....i only got a connection 4 years ago
But if there are still gamers with a 300 Mhz PC, then there surely are gamers without an internet connection.<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners.
