SE V Has Gone Main Stream!

That�s what I thought when reading Atrocities post; man the nights I spent up plotting my next move, negotiating to form power blocks, researching and developing and deploying forces. Then would come the inevitable nuclear arms race and the new player would always be the first one to fire. Oh God what fun those days were! They only got better after I grew up and got married. Then I had a wife to shuttle the group out coffee so we could squeeze extra minutes playing instead of making then mixing our own cups. Man was I shocked when I clicked that link and found out it was something altogether different.

Now I don�t think I would play this one; it seems to violate some kind of fond-memory-taboo you know what I mean? I would play a computer version of the real game though!

Anybody play the new ST legacy game yet? I'm thinking of getting it but not sure if it's going to be any good. As for Jumpgate, it doesn't sound that great, I played E.V.E from Dec 05 till Aug 06 untill I got bored with it. It's a good game (its pay to play as well) but unless your a social person who can get into the game and make loads of friends it tends to get boring when compared to other games like say X3. Never played either Supremacy.

Yes - man what a dissappointment. The controls absolutly suck. I would wait for them to address the bugs, the control issue, and fix multiplayer.

From what I've read so far...it isnt has good as previous versions of ST games like SFC, anc BC. It is supposed to be very pretty, but the game play is very flat...Do research on reviews and such, and make your own decision...

Huh, ok, thanks. I've learned not to trust reviews from mags because it seems the big companies always get great reviews for crappy products.

I just read one at gamespy, and they basically hated it...

I tried hard to find SE5 at the local Fye because they carry a few harder to find games. So far, no luck. I'll have to check at Best Buy-I wonder if they give it any shelf space or if it's just orderable?

Um, they did not hate it and in fact the reviewer has posted here about his review. Most of us feel that he did a very honest job with the review and if you were to ask him, and we have, he likes the game, not hates it.
