OT: SE4 players thoughts on OTHER games

Puke · #1 February 10th, 2003, 07:27 AM

regarding linear political progression in galciv:

i mean, from what i read, that you go from imperal to republic to democracy to federation. each one is better than the Last, and harder to maintain. there are no choices, you cant get different benefits from a democracy or a republic or a oligarchy. you cant choose a socialist or capitalist economy.

you dont decide anything or make any tradeoffs, you just progress from one to the next. or, in theory, move backwards if you were having a better time maintaining party power in a previous form of government.

GALCIV:
I not really interested.

MOO3:
I wish people who do not yet have the game, would stop reviewing it. (It's not even out!)

S!SNG:
What is it?

X2:The Threat:
What is it?

Freelancer:
More of the same.

Elite4:
Release date: "When Hell Freezes Over"

Imperium Galactica 3:
Looks interesting, nice looking graphics, ? on game play.

Star Peace (name has changed):
Not at all interested.

Your foregot:

Stars Super Nova Genisis:
Looks like it will be a great game, but they can't publish it. That means the likely hood of it ever being released are remote.

Space Empires V
Now your talkin

"and on the shorter list, games currently out that I am aware of:"

Starships Unlimited: seems to be very limited. the focus was supposed to be ship design and combat, but i found this to be less detailed than in SE4. If there was more to it than what was in the demo, no one ever let on.

Agreed

X:beyond the frontier (with/without x-tension):
Not my thing

Battlecruiser Millenium:
Lame

Homeworld and sequel:
Fun game for about the first five minutes. Anyone wanna by my disk?

Hegimonia:
Never heard of it.

Lets face it, there are many games out there that promis what SEIV already dilivers, but when it comes time to put their money where their mouth is, they push back there release date in order to "steal" the good ideas of SEIV and code them into their games. (Moo3??)

In the eight years that I have been playing games, 4x games have been really limited. I can only remember about five or six games that actually dilivered on addictive game play. Moo, Moo2, Rebellion, BOTF, *Stars and *SEIII (*I never did play them as I did not know about them.

)

I think you answered your question

I have no expectations for any game. I'm happy with SE4, and since I'm one of those gamers that only play 4 games a year or so.
This year I'm only planning to play, besides SE4 which I got in January, Lords of the Realm 3, MOO3, and probably some other by the end of the year. Oh, I'm I only buy games after they get heavily patched.......

I bet my toilet paper that MOO3 its not gonna be playable or fully featured untill 6 months after released.

When I have time due to delays in the 7-10 PBW games I'm in, I enjoy playing the 101st Airborne Invasion of Europe and am impatiently waiting for release of its sequel, "All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy."

For those of you who haven't experienced this type of game, you control each soldier in your "stick" and try to complete your mission after parachuting out of a plane. It's very challenging and fun. Also somewhat realistic, while being a turn based game so you aren't rushed to make bad decisions....Greybeard.
