SE IV is not SE V and SE V is a completely differant kind of game from SE IV.. SE V will have 3d combat and RT ground combat whereas SE IV does not. SE IV, in my humble yet illinformed opinion, will remain a solid stand alone alternative game from its younger brother for many years too come.

BINGO !!!


I happen to like the way SE-IV visually works now !!!

I am more interested in the 4x aspect of it than the REAL-TIME or 3D (ooooooh, aaaaaah, how flashy...) combat, the new interfaces, the new this, the new, the new that-other-thingy.

Improvements on the operational aspects, such as research, AI's, treaties, and the like are admittedly great, but if what I really wanted was a realtime 3d game, there are certainly other, better titles out there dedicated to exactly that, and little else.

I think the movement to 3D will be an overall good move, even if only to prevent things like one-sided warp point battles from occurring.

Ok, so we have a snazzy new interface... some 3D (low poly) models, a new ground combat feature and a new system look. Just about everything else is the same as SEIV?

Why would I spend $50 on this game when I just spent $20 on SEIV which so far sounds so similar.

What R U getting for you money, well your getting a new addiction, one that will cost you your job, wife/girl friend, home, career, and health. You will for your money, trade your soul away each and every time you start a game. Days will seem like hours, and whole years will pass you buy with you ever even noticing them. One day you will realize that you have been sitting at your computer none stop for a week, grown a foot long beard, lost 50 pounds, and need to clip your finger nails as they are now each two inches long.
So what are you getting for your money, well as I said, a new addiction.

A one-time cost of $50 is pretty inexpensive for such a good addiction that lasts for years. Can't think of any other addiction that costs less than that.
