First Empire of War review hits

[kumquatq3]

7.8, but 6.5 in gameplay from IGN for a hyped game should cause warning bells to ring.

I don't trust IGN (w00t)

[jaguars4ever]

Seconded. I'll believe it when I see it....from Gamespot, that it. (w00t) <---I don't know why we're doing this, but let's see how long we can keep it going!

[Bokishi]

I want this game, I dun care about reviews.

[metadigital]

You lose! (w00t)

[Meshugger]

No matter. Civ4 has destroyed enough of my sparetime already.

[Plano Skywalker]

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.

I am struggling to remember a time before Plano's SW fetish ... recall fails ...

Civ4 has pretty much destroyed any standard RTS's chances with me. Go twitch.

I trust only my own judging

[Moose]

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.

[Lyric Suite]

No matter, Star Wars fanboys will flock on this like flies.

 

Reason why Lucas Arts will never gain their former glory...

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:

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.

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]

I played the Empire at War demo, and I have to agree that is a meh. Not bad, but not amazing either.

[alanschu]

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.

[Llyranor]

Lucasarts is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned now.
