kumquatq3 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 7.8, but 6.5 in gameplay from IGN for a hyped game should cause warning bells to ring. http://pc.ign.com/articles/688/688963p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshugger Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 No matter. Civ4 has destroyed enough of my sparetime already.

Plano Skywalker Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have no doubt that Civ 4 is a better strategy game. But Empire At War is what I will get first, largely because I'm on a big SW kick right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Who here actually played through the demo and then thought "omg, preordering now!". I know I didn't. I thought it was pretty meh as game over all, and poor for an RTS. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion.

I thought it was pretty meh as game over all, and poor for an RTS. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never think "OMG Preodering!!!11". The only game that I have ever pre-ordered was Civ4. On the other hand I like the demo enough that I knew I was going to purchase this game. Probably not immediatly though as I have 10GB of C&C games to go through. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthMethos Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I will not buy EAW for some time. I think it is a pretty stylish idea, but I am getting Star Wars burned out. I am more intrested in RPGs at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plano Skywalker Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I am struggling to remember a time before Plano's SW fetish ... recall fails ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> as far as computer gaming goes, it was the KOTORs that got me in. basically, I avoided CRPGs in general for the longest time. not because I didn't think I would like them, but because I knew I'd spend too much time on them. so, while many folks look to Balder's Gate or PST as the Holy Grail of the CRPG, for me it is the KOTORs (I also don't mind admitting that I liked Morrowind quite a bit). prior to the KOTORs, the only computer games I spent any real time on were: Team Fortress and Age of Empires II. my how things have changed!

Ekkest Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I played the Empire at War demo, and I have to agree that is a meh. Not bad, but not amazing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The biggest selling point for me is that I can bulid cool imperial navies. THough it's handicapped by typical RTS mechanics. In the end I think I'll be passing this one over. To be honest, I wanted more of a Rebellion type game, without the horrid interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
