[quote]The game has no strategy at all to speak of... I'm sorry I bought it frankly. It is C&C in space. Build more tanks (sorry Starships) and throw them at your enemy. Lame and dumb. Granted the space setting is cool, but it doesn't make up for the total lack of strategy. Gal Civ II is so much better than this game. It is a different game but I think this genre is better suited to turn based than real time. Play CoH, it blows this game away.[/quote] Where would a topic be without the

[quote]They can TURN.[/quote] Not whilst firing on a single target, which means they can be flanked. And capital ships can be flanked, since certain weapons require forward facing in order to fire. [quote]Flanking means attacking a unit or a formation's weak sides, where armor or firepower is the weakest.[/quote] Flanking is merely attacking the enemy from the sides or rear, although what you say can play a factor.

[quote]Sheesh, what did he do -- run around looking for every repetitive, overdone, whiny argument thats completely without merit? (Well, the campaign one has little merit to it... but if he just looked without regard to merit, how'd he miss the "diplomacy" issue?)[/quote] Notice how the OP never returned.....Typical troll behavior.

[quote]BE very careful about any negative remarks about this game, your forum will be locked like mine was.[/quote] You had your own forum? And it was locked by the mods!! Wow, you mods must have some pretty extensive powers! Particularly if you can mosey on into another forum and completely shut it down! ;p

[quote]My thesis: The time limited mechanism decreases the percieved value of the demo and is therefore a less effective marketing tool to get people to buy this game. Even if it turns out that it's actually a more valuable proposition, the percievement is what stops people from playing the demo in the first place.[/quote] Yep, and this is why you created this topic, right? To educate IC on how a 90 min demo will cause great dissatisfaction, and lead to a poor reception of the game? <b

I am I the only one who sees the irony in this topic!?......Wait, no I'm not.

[quote]Speaking in a free form manner as he was doing and off the cusp no one expects him to be held to his literal word. At lest I don't. I don't in normal conversation in every day life ... do you?[/quote] Nope, just find it simply amusing....Particularly when the OP was serious. Eccentricity ...Not surprising.

So says the guy who created seven clones of the same topic.....

[quote]Serondal, don't listen to these fanboys telling you your wrong, you have every right to your own opinion and every right to voice it. If you decide your wrong then say it, but don't slowly back down just because you get flamed by a bunch of guys who kiss dev butt, they won't be the people who make this game better. Geez, the fanboys on this site just can't take any criticism at all on this game, or the devs, without going into some Orwellian rage.And heflys, great constructive responses

[quote]Time limited demo, this must be absolutely the dumbest mistake Ironclad/Stardock have ever made regarding this game. Think about it: Would you ever consider as a strategy gamer to start playing a game if you know upfront that you would abruptly trown out of it after 90 min? That experience would create frustration, not desire![/quote] Funny, then why are you complaining? If you didn't desire to play the game longer, why create this pointless topic? Hmmm.....

[quote]Maybe I underestimated the venom of forum members, though I should have expected counter attacks.[/quote] I'm not mad, I assure you. This has been genuinely amusing.

Still laughing over the fact that he said Sins only looks marginally better, and Pax is the "better" game. Pretty funny how quickly he contradicted himself when his argument started looking ridiculous. Hella funny! And he's serious!!

[quote]This post wasn't about pumping up Pax Imperia so I'm not really worried about how bad its graphics were or how bad the scores were. The "its own box" reference was something I read Frogboy saying, though I can't find the post now (of course) The point of the post is just that Sins is not a new genre or new anything. It has all been done before, and parts of it at least better. Sins is not ground breaking, there is nothing about it that is above average. The zoom in feature has been do

My picture!? Whelp, here: http://www.mobygames.com/game/pax-imperia-eminent-domain/screenshots

Here's how Pax Imperia looks, yeah, Sins only looks marginally better. Woooo boy, those are some incredible graphics!!!

April fools is next month Serondal!! Gosh.....

[quote]HmmYou say skirmish and no campaign,but I thought there was like a storyline.As far as lifetime of the game,i meant the overall game. I don't want to purchase a game to "finish it" or get bored after 1-2 month[/quote] There is a storyline, just no cheesy campaign to wade through. Not a big loss really. And you'll unlikely, particularly if you enjoy strategy, get a tired of the game any time soon. The maps can take hours to play, plus the developers plan to keep supporting the

[quote]I'm curious, are you suggesting there was some conspiracy, or cabal to give Sins of a Solar Empire higher reviews than you think it deserved? Based on what? Stardock doesn't advertise at most of these sites. Indie games typically get much lower reviews than the "big name games". Couldn't it just be that different people have different tastes from you?[/quote] Don't waste your time. He's here to discuss old reviews about a game he doesn't like, with users who are too fanati

[quote]and at no time did I claim any superior intellect.[/quote] ROFL!! I believe he was insulting you.

[quote]The screenshots accompanying the reviews that I've seen sure are pretty, but the fact is that you will play the game zoomed out to maximum 98% of the time, so the graphics essentially do not matter. It's the same gripe I had with Supreme Commander, another game I felt scored inordinately high based solely on the pedigree of Chris Taylor.[/quote] .........................................

[quote]Well, I'm at work, and don't have a lot else to do, surfing forums is how I kill free time.[/quote] I see. [quote]By the way, "fanboi" is not meant as an insult, but if you choose to take it that way, maybe it's time for some introspection? I am a fanboi of a lot of things, just not of Sins.[/quote] Funny, considering that most forums reprimand users who use the term, and I doubt you meant it in an endearing fashion...Do you seriously believe this is my first sw

Yeah, whatever, I'm not one who bumped this topic to fault reviews for giving the game high scores, called fans of the game, who don't agree with my opinion, "fanbois" (WOOO!!!) or came here to complain about how boring the game is....I guess you have nothing else to do. It's ok.

No, you're troll cause you seek trouble, insult individuals and look for reasons to disparage the game. Nope, seems like you're seeking gainful employment to me. I here trolls are in high demand these days.

And I suppose you're applying for the job of resident troll, efexye. Keep it up, you might succeed.

A TB game vs. a RT game.......Hmmmmm.
