TotalBiscuit's WTF is... Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion

So the game is focused on the multiplayer and that we have a really nice competitive MP community going for it.

Funny thing is that TB actually recognizes that the game has problems with balancing and bugs despite not being a multiplayer guy himself in this game. :P

The game is designed for multiplayer.

Perhaps he admires it but does not necessarily feel proud about people stomping him?

People chatting all over get's annoying in a impressions video? Besides it is a first impressions series. You do single player first I hope a at least. >_>

Uhh..."Its like X" what a genius. If so, Jericho is like Prototype and Need for Speed is like GTA4.

Awesome review. I just hope that the background logistics side of multiplayer is upgraded to support the multiplayer oriented gameplay :D

The thing I dont like about the video is that he makes it seem like a top down space shooter like SPAZ or Gratuitous Space Battles.

Are you sure you didn't smoke weed and drink a bottle of Jack at roughly the same time before watching this vid?

Well, he is using auto-cast on all abilities and auto-placement of all structures and talks about how little micro battles require....so I don't think his comp stomp game really represents reailty of MP and I didn't get the impression he realizes he is getting away with playing sub-optimally because it's vs AI. In reality, you do actually need to micro most battles and they aren't just attack-move-blob and-forget kind of engagements like he was doing.

Im talking about the first half of the video or so before he actually went down showed everything because when people search for the game on Youtube and see the first couple minutes of the video, all they will see is a game that looks kind of like Space Pirates and Zombies on a bigger scale but he did get better at showing the game off during the second half.

 

And IMO, the game is more catered toward SP; dont know how he came to the conclusions that MP was the focus.

AI doesn't make it a whole lot of fun when it comes to singleplayer when as he says it just becomes a very mechanical steamroller unless you take the time to do diplomacy and such.

Multiplayer there are so many more options available on what you can do. Regardless of what the competitive community does.

RTS in general are more geared to the fast pace of multiplayer regardless if it's 4x or not. You have very few if any RTS that are actually suitable for purely single player play. That's more turnbase strategy's thing such as the Civilization series.
