Miscellaneous Thoughts on Empire Eve!

Ladies are nice...but so is ETW such tough choices :P

I've been waiting for this game since MTW2 ended.

I was there when the magazine wrongly said it was coming out last march....that stung.

I was there when it got delayed.....(also stung)

I was there as we aited for demo....(owies)

It has been a long, long wait, I am glad it is finally here.

As for DLC, i'm just going to say what no one wants to hear. You probably have to pay for it. Every game company is going this way now. It's a easy way to add revenue with limited work. Once companies like Bethesda realized they could add small graphical and informational downloads and make money from it, it was good.

My question is how big or small will they be.

Is it going to be like 50 new units for 10 bucks? or is it going to be like the Napolean Download for 15-20? Full with new maps, units, factions, time, etc.

I mean they can do something as silly as Oblivions famous horse armor mod, or something as in depth and deep as the GTA or Mass Effect DLCS.

It will be something to keep our eyes on, and at least it lets us know this game will get more before the expansion comes out a year to year and a half later.

I'm thinking most companies learned their lesson from the Horse Armor debacle. Mostly what it resulted in was a lot of negative publicity for Bethesda, and not a lot of downloads. CA will probably be keen to avoid a similar situation, and will hopefully offer reasonable content for reasonable prices.

The potential inherent in DLC is fantastic though. All of the things the game was missing could be inserted (hopefully starting with a Playable Portugal and an expanded map).

In honor of the fact we have one more day to wait, and the Empire Total war time frame. A little song from Les Mis which is amusing and a good listen. Plus some lines like One more day to revolution, fit quite well :)

Here are the lyrics but feel free to go watch it on youtube while you wait.

It's called

ONE DAY MORE

VALJEAN
One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
This never-ending road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time.
One day more!

MARIUS
I did not live until today.
How can I live when we are parted?

VALJEAN
One day more.

MARIUS & COSETTE
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you, my world has started!

EPONINE
One more day all on my own.

MARIUS & COSETTE
Will we ever meet again?

EPONINE
One more day with him not caring.

MARIUS & COSETTE
I was born to be with you.

EPONINE
What a life I might have known.

MARIUS & COSETTE
And I swear I will be true!

EPONINE
But he never saw me there!

ENJOLRAS
One more day before the storm!

MARIUS
Do I follow where she goes?

ENJOLRAS
At the barricades of freedom.

MARIUS
Shall I join my brothers there?

ENJOLRAS
When our ranks begin to form

MARIUS
Do I stay; and do I dare?

ENJOLRAS
Will you take your place with me?

ALL
The time is now, the day is here

VALJEAN
One day more!

JAVERT
One more day to revolution,
We will nip it in the bud!
I will join these little schoolboys,
They will wet themselves with blood!

VALJEAN
One day more!

M. & MME. THENARDIER
Watch 'em run amuck,
Catch 'em as they fall,
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all,
Here a little `dip'
There a little `touch'
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much!

Students (2 Groups)
1: One day to a new beginning

2: Raise the flag of freedom high!

1: Every man will be a king

2: Every man will be a king

1: There's a new world for the winning

2: There's a new world to be won

ALL
Do you hear the people sing?

MARIUS
My place is here, I fight with you!

VALJEAN
One day more!

MARIUS & COSETTE
I did not live until today.

EPONINE
One more day all on my own!

MARIUS & COSETTE
How can I live when we are parted?

JAVERT(overlapping)
I will join these people's heros
I will follow where they go
I will learn their little ---- Secrets,
I will know the things they ------ know.

VALJEAN
One day more!

MARIUS & COSETTE
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away

EPONINE
What a life I might have known!

MARIUS & COSETTE
And yet with you my world has started

JAVERT(overlapping)
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these

Schoolboys

THENARDIERS(overlapping)
Watch 'em run amok
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free-for-all!

VALJEAN
Tomorrow we'll be far away,
Tomorrow is the judgement day

ALL
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!

Damn the game was lying on the ocunter of a games shop here, but they just wouldn't sell it yet

But hey, I wouldn't be able to play anyway

**pevergreen** · 03-03-2009, 14:54

They might not be allowed to sell it yet anyway. Thats what I'm guessing.

I dont get mine until thursday.

**Wausser** · 03-03-2009, 14:56

Yeah, but these guy actually knew someting about games, most of the time there are older women behind the counter and they don't know anything about games....

I problably could have gotten one if that guy wasn't behind the counter
