MistenTH Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 A lot of EAW is good, and captures SW nicely, but the lack of Multiplayer polishing is simply horrible. While patches came in fast, the standards there are pretty bad when you compare to other games. And for me, I found the gameplay boring after a while. Literally, after falling asleep at the keyboard while playing a game, I stopped playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Tahu Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I can't really rate the game yet, because I've only spent 1-2 hours on it. But I am really impressed with the way Petroglyph made the game work on my ancient PC. My only frustrations are the insanely long load times, and that is due to my computer's deficient RAM. This far, though, I am very happy with the game, although certain things, like the half-baked manual, could be done better. The graphics were stunning, IMHO, even on my FX5500.

Astrotoy7 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 And, hey, Call of Duty? The Q3 engine is getting old, man...that game didn't have really great graphics, it just pulled off a terrific atmosphere.. but the cutscenes in EaW....ugh...they should've just left them out...they wouldnt look out of place in dark forces or force commander COD/2 is Q3 but atmosphere...is EVERYTHING ! Ive played the Rome Total War demo....man, even from just that snippet - that game looks awesome, and Im generally not really an RTS fan at all *goes and gets* mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediturkey Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 If you want to compare RTS's (gameplay wise) to EAW, check out this Act of War High Treason Demo: http://turkeyfiles.escapedturkey.net/demos/act_of_war_high_treason_demo.exe Amazing game.

Admiral Sith Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 And for me, I found the gameplay boring after a while. Literally, after falling asleep at the keyboard while playing a game, I stopped playing. lol, i fell asleep after playing for 3 strait days of FFVII right when i was about to win the game. Of course the game cut off so i had to start over, i havnt played since. I give it a 9/10, it has some truly awe inspiring moments. Once the Modding Tools, and Multiplayer fixes are realeased i would give it a 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediturkey Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Nope, the demo is stand-alone. Try deleting and redownloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiralarchitech Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Nope, the demo is stand-alone. Try deleting and redownloading. Act of war is quite a good rts reminds me of c&c, the only thing that let me down was the camera. If it had EAW's camera it would have owned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediturkey Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hrm, I thought you could rotate camera in AOW, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiralarchitech Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Yes you can rotate it, but after 5 mins you'll want to zoom into street level and see some of that action and you can't. Also flying units can be a pain as it won't zoom out that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediturkey Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That's wierd, I zoom in and out with the mouse-wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conmanguyler Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 9 !, this game is really gd, its all i have been playing lately, i agree, it could do with some improvements though, cant wait for an expansion, overall very good. especially the skirmish games, great for aa quick match if i feel like blowing something up!

†Saint_Killa† Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I gave it an 8. If it just had a complete ep. IV-VI campaign and units I would give it a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Solo Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 The game was great, I would have to rate it a 9 out of 10 but the movie graphics on it really sucked when you were playing on the ground battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
