Not MMORPGs though. When I picked uo SWG, the guide was so big, with so much background story....I was impressed but wasnt interested in reading it. AC2 was the same way. But usually those games really do have an incredible amount of story to back them.Originally posted by: blurredvision
I never use a manual, but I think it's stupid not to include one. Manuals are a lost art nowadays. I remember getting Diablo back in the day, and sitting for an hour reading the backstory for the game, and trying to learn all the nuances before I hopped in. Now, manuals (if you even get one) just tell you how to freaking install and start the game, something any self-respecting gamer should know already.
Oooops, forgot about that!Originally posted by: XBoxLPU
Um warcrow, I linked to that installer above and you even quoted me....
Then Taylor Sherman had more information:In the near future you will be able to make a CD Backup of your games.
...there will be a DVD-sized option for the Backup feature too. It's not going to actually burn the discs, but it will create a self-extracting archive that is broken up into the appropriate-size files.
Whoah, sweet!Originally posted by: NYHoustonman
There is a quick way to backup your files, in any case: type "steam://backup/" in the Internet Explorer address bar.
I agree, I love the ones that look like they got a lot of work. Homeworld was by far the best one I've ever seen. That manual was almost as big as the strategy guide.I never use a manual, but I think it's stupid not to include one. Manuals are a lost art nowadays.

I remember many classic NES games came with thick manuals that were essentially strategy guides. Dragon Warrior 3 anyone? Those were the days...Originally posted by: clicknext
