Hi lindsy.
As to smugglers 5 and price, note that you don't have! to buy the smugglers
1-4 bundle or the extended download service, indeed I didn't pay for that
myself sinse I am confident I can keep my files backed up rather than having
to download them again in the future. this will bring the price down
significantly. of course, annoyinly smugglers is one of the few games where
we in the uk are charged vat which puts the price up, but the quality of the
game is worth it in the end I think.
As to the demo, well it depends. you can play for 300 turns which will
probably take a while, and there are a number of professions, random events
etc within the first star system. That being said, at lot of the game
content is not accessible in the demo simply because it's really only
intended to show you the game not to be a game in it's own right.
So, probably the best thing to do is play the demo until you've exhausted
it's possibilities, but on the basis that you will! be buying the full
version at some point in the future.
With games I tend to think of the price in terms of other stuff I cannot
have.
smugglers 5 for instance on it's own but plus vat probably comes out around
twenty seven pounds.
The other day, i went out to T G I friday's tex mex place with my brother,
and paid about 30 pounds for a three course meal. Was it a nice meal? yes,
and it was nice to catch up with my brother. Howeversinse buying smugglers 5
last friday I have probably spent a good twelve hours playing the game
already, and have still! not finished my first run on the bounty hunter
profession (I'm just about to buy a cruser) (and yes, not having a phd
thesis to write and being able to spend time gaming is great!).
so, was smugglers 5 worth it in comparison to my meal at t g i fridays? I
have to say it was.
Btw, also bare in mind I do not spend those sorts of somes of cash often or
lightly, indeed t g i fridays was my first propper meal out alone that I
paid for sinse June.
Beware the Grue!
dark.
