tic tac Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Has anybody played Empire at War here? I don't believe those reviews, they were just too mixed, one can't figure out overall is it any good or not....anybody?
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I haven't but my roommate has. He plays a lot of RTS type games. He seems to not like it. Harvey
astr0creep Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I started playing it last night. I'm going through the tutorial first as I was never very good at RTSs. Seems interesting but I find that there is not enough difference between land battles and space battles. It's basically the same thing with a different "ground" image/backdrop. Instead of grass/sand you have space and you are still in a top-down isometric view, no 3rd dimension. And not enough exploration opportunities. Seems ok to me though. Better than other Star Wars RTSs anyways. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I prefer Battlegrounds (think thats what it was called). This one seems to be typical RTS with Star Wars skins. Not that Battlegrounds wasnt either. But Battlegrounds was the first of that type of thing. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Did Jorian get banned? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who ? I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Darque Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Did Jorian get banned? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The previous creator of these threads.
tic tac Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 Why should that crazy wannabe funny Hungarian be banned? "

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Let me find you the worlds' smallest violin, Jorian. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) *waits for the violin* In other news, I am playing it and enjoying it. It is nice to see that the AI isn't completely retarded. When choosing it's targets, the fighter-killing corvettes prefer to choose fighter targets, rather than near invincible capital ships. Large fights with Mon Calamari Cruisers and Imperial Star Destroyers are a ton of fun. The wreckage floating through space makes it all worth while. I don't care as much for the land combat personally, though I don't mind it. The space battles is where I have all of my fun. Edited February 22, 2006 by alanschu

HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master. It is suggested that you run while my blasters warm, meatbags. Bastila to Revan: You are easily the vainest, most arrogant man I have ever met! Canderous to Bastila: Insults? Maybe if your master had trained your lightsaber to be as quick as your tongue you could have escaped those Vulkars, you spoiled little Jedi princess!
alanschu Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I dunno....I'm a big fan of TIE Fighter, but I don't know if it's just nostalgia speaking.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Tie Fighter. Played it before X-Wing so X-Wing seemed dated aftwards. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
alanschu Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Surprised you didn't hate it for it's patches for joystick problems, as well as sound issues.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Surprised you didn't hate it for it's patches for joystick problems, as well as sound issues. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually I dont recall having any problems with it. Installing the six floppies was a chore though I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Gabrielle Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Is the Jedi Knights series any good? I thought I asked this, don't remember.

Plano Skywalker Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Is the Jedi Knights series any good? I thought I asked this, don't remember. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm playing through Jedi Outcast (also known as Jedi Knight II) right now. It has a really good story but it is a twitchfest...no question about it.....it has more in common with Quake than KOTOR, that is for sure. I have heard that Jedi Academy (also known as Jedi Knight III) has a much better gameplay (lightsaber forms, dual blade option, etc). Unlike JO, JA starts you off as a Force user. And Jedi Academy has minigames (such as swoop racing combat).
Bokishi Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I ordered Empire at War, so I'll see how it is. *then proceeds to spam thread* Current 3DMark
