Guest wildthing Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 I would say just hold off until the full meal deal gets here in Nov. Who knows, they may address the concerns you have with the game. Other then the sound and graphics though, you have to admit it's pretty fun. Just my 2 cents ----------------------------------- I thought I saw a . . . Wild Thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest porkins14 Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 I think you are intitled to your opinion, even if you havent played the full version. I actually dont mind the graphics, and I agree it is much like AOE. However, you have yet to see all of the differences because you have only played single player. You havent seen how important power cores and shields are. You havent seen the different element air brings and defending against air brings. There are some major differences that make this game stand out. Furthermore, even if it was an "AOE expansion pack", WHO CARES?????? AOE was a great game, and making it star wars doesnt bother me. To say we all are on George Lucas' nuts is not fair, because I have yet to see ONE PERSON in this forum say he liked Force Commander. Isnt that a lucasarts project?? We may be biased, but not so biased that we dont accept reality. And about Lucasarts just trying to make money and not moving the "genre" forward. GL has already changed the face of science fiction, special effects, X-wing was a monumental game in the gaming industry, etc. Why cant Lucasarts sit down and try to make a fun little game every now and then?? They cant be the best at everything, every game cant be the game of the year!!! They made a smart move, they found a great game, used its engine, and made many important improvements.

Wraith 5 Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 well porkins14 I see you are new here so welcome... But i also see that you have not read some of the older threads... So let me say this again.... I LIKED FORCE COMMANDER!!!!! The only problem i have with it is that the path finding was not very good. I would have loved to see a x-pack for that game, and a fix for the path finding. Just because people can figure out hw to use a mouse and a keyboard at the same time does not mean the game is bad. (think that you don't like the game because of the contols, The biggest complate i hear.) I think it added to the game only being able to have 60 units at one time, why should you need 500 units to take out a base. You don't get 500 units in chess. Ok sorry about that. I just thought the game was really cool and that people (and la) didn't give it enoght time to learn or fix bugs in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith 5 Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 McGeeza i just noticed you are also new here so welcom... Thank you for restating you problems with the demo. This thread was about why you didn't like the demo, and your thoughts seemed to have gotten lost somewhere. I like to see people have their say. I may not agree, but i still like to read it. (as long as it just isn't there to case trouble.) That is why i asked. I only brought up the pc thing because i thought you said that ou were only getting a 640x480 res. I do agree with you the vader does look a little stupid, but if you think about it, wouldn't he look stupid just walking up to a jedi and swinging his lightsaber? So thank you for reposting you thoughts, and please if you have a question or a concern for the game check out the thread i posted eralier.

Erm...no? ***PS: Lost my way? - My response to your post was entirely on topic, and hopefully made sense. - ***** Read your post properly - please ignore this! Although, with hindsight, I guess that my posts could be construed as aggressive . I'm not trying to p*ss on anyone's parade, merely put across my point of view. I certainly don't expect everyone to agree, just read, and respond in an intelligent manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mathomas Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 I liked Force Commander, and I agree the SW:GB demo does not live up to expectations. I have played a bit of Emperor:Dune, and when warping back in time to the gameplay style in SW:GB, it is very tedious -- going from one resource in Dune that is automatically controlled so that all you have to do is protect your Harvesters, to a game where you have to control four separate resource gatherers that are stupid enough to stand around and do nothing. They gave us a flashing light to say there were idle workers -- how about get them off there asses automatically and not make me follow the peons so closely? It's worse than having problems with pathfinding. Graphics and animations are pretty cheesy, especially when compared to what games like Dune are sporting these days. You may argue that that doesn't "make the game" -- but then, how is this game any different than a skin pack for AoE. The improvements like "power cores", "flying units", etc., certainly don't make any leaps in technology or gameplay than AoE. It is nice that the game is a little more unique to the individual races, but it can't hold a candle to StarCraft. Vastly different civilizations, flying units, shields, cloaking -- everything has been done before. In anticipation of games like Warcraft III on it's way out the door, and what they almost accomplished with Force Commander, it would be nice if Lucasarts had put out something that was a step forward instead of just continuing along the identical route of a game that is several years old. It is a shame that Force Comm wasn't followed up with a sequel... Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth_Venage Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Hmm, I guess it's my turn to put my 2 cents in. OK, what I don't like about demo: 70 MBS FOR THIS?!?!(it took me 5 hours to download) Voice acting. The only taunt that sounds remotely correct is 28 Building fire animations. Some do NOT look right. Yes, Vader jumping up and down(while looking gay:D ) no skirmish! some unit animations(ie AT-STs) Things I LIKE about demo: (and the game in general) shield generators Air AND sea units(tho in the demo you don't reall get to use sea) Campagin editer And several other things I can't think of right now... Oh, and as to the graphics, as someone else said, this is probably from an early design stage. And as to them being atrocious, well. Ever play Red Alert(the original)? And anyway, I'm going to read about 5 reviews before I decide wether or not I buy this game. I suggest to others that they do the same. (Whoo. Maybe that was 25 cents... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJackal_jk2 Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 One thing I dont get is how can you HATE LucasArts for just one game. Sure they had a few which weren't hits. However they had more that ARE hits. I think that if you want to hate a company you'd have to have more ground to stand on. For one thing, I hate the company responsible for all those extreme ____ games. Like Extreme Paintball, Extreme Rodeo. Why? Cause all of them get bad reviews. You can insult a game, but leave the company alone if it is well known and have great games under its title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should all be good boys and girls and send our money to Georgey boy? Why are we getting so upset that he didn't like it anyway? He's entitled to his own opinion and we should respect that and not put him down for it; And he should do the same for everyone here. Some people value graphics, some people value design, Some people value the story, etc... I'd like to thank everyone for keeping this reasonably civil.

Guest nXs_Altus Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Actualy, I have to admit that LucasArts is has not been looking very good for quite some time. The last game that lucas did that I liked came out on flopies when 386s were the computer to have (maybe 486). I do have to say though that I don't hate them as they do make good games, just few/none that I think are worth even 5 bucks. Such hatred is reserved for sierra (who's programers have not so good skills so that their games have a tendancy to crash with and without patching and that tear up your system by not following standard programing practices that most programers do fallow), electronic arts (who chaged for patches and still do sometimes or they just don't patch a game that REALY needs it), and activition (for totaly destroying what could have been an awesome game (st-armada) due to bad programing and is now only alive because the game was so easy to modify, the patch that made the game work was made by a third party from activision). The only reasons I am looking at SWGB is because I don't have any other C&C style games to play (I have played most of the good ones, in my opinion) and the fact that many members of the Nexsis guild are very interested in the game. My problem with SWGB is the fact that it is SO MUCH like AOE which I positively hate. SWGB has it's good marks for ok-good graphics and good modifications to AOE but it just feals... like a moded AOE... ah well, I haven't played the demo much and will be continuing to play it periodicaly hopefully it deters from AOE enough to be worth buying... I would imagine that the finished product will be WAY better than this demo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thrawn Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Lucas Arts has had SOME good games! Rogue Squadron was an EXCCELANT game! The graphics were great and there were lots of ships to choose from! That was one of my favortite games for quite a while. . . Anyway, I too am a big C&C fan, and I think the GB will be great. I'm sure that the missions will be more like RA2, that AoK. Think about it. . . Anyway I can't wait for the release, and I'll definately be buying the game!!!

Guest Boba Rhett Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Well, it uses 8bit mats and is pretty old but I wouldn't say it has aweful graphics. You should really play through the whole thing in a higher resolution. The later levels are better and you get to use more force powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thrawn Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Perhaps, but I don't really like it all that much. . . I guess it's ok for others to play it. Although, you never know when I'll go on a JK destroying spree. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
