Athanasios Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 It's a matter of how they treat customers and the results. Especially if other games will be strolling around that time (since Q2 and Q4 of a year is the period when most games are released). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyder121 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Darth Plagus, its not just the one $50 that matters, but when it goes over tens of thousands of 50$'s, it matters. I think that the game will require EAW though, since so far its been called "expansion", not sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse|TFL Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 no Offence guys but the first one was a shocker it was half ar*se and i really cant see the second being any better, i just hope they prove me wrong This is my stance too. I would prefer they fix this game up first. If they are having so much trouble fixing this game plus the absolutely dire online system, what hope is there that will make a better expansion? Don't forget the online system will also be used on Gamespy too, need I say more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Plagus Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 oh i completely understand the 'ethics' side of the argument, what i really wanted to address were the people complaining (already) about having to pay for the expansion, when like you said the original game they bought (in their opinion) was unfinished. I was reading on one of the forums about people complaining about having to pay even 20 bucks for the expansion, but if you think about it...even 50 bucks, isnt that much. I mean 50 dollars doesnt even fill up my car for a week anymore.... and an RTS game gives me a lot more enjoyment than driving lol BUT, yes i completely agree with you, FOC needs to be an expansion...That is, if they dont fix the original EAW game....i am a game player...not a game creator, so i have no idea about the XMLs or anything like that, but if they could incorperate the SSD and more advanced ships/units for rebellion and empire into EAW with a patch or something, then they should and could take the FOC and make it EAW 2 or something, but that probably isnt possible with anything but an expansion, so there we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Anarch Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 It is an expansion, not a stand-alone title. The full title is "Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption", not "Empire at War 2: Forces of Corruption". No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magna mandaloe Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 OK now I think that this expansion....Is going to be awsome especially me seeing the trailers But I feel the Expansion is in its 91 - 99% stages and was nearly done in april. They read our Ideas, took our mods, and foraged a expansion. That is done when E3 starts up. the last stages of development is the mission I bet for Dark Side Light side and Corrupt Side and the process of burning over 1 to 3 million copies of the Expansion. Right now it is sitting in Lucasart's hands until the day of reckoning is appon us. I have a feeling when Forces of corruption is released the Map editor 1.4 Patch and ALO extensions will be completed cause I saw this in a dream. so we have to sit tight as they kill us in excitement! I think I speak for every one saying I CAN'T WAIT !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athanasios Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 ATI RAdeon XTX1900 Even ASUS 7900 doesn't reach its lowest perfomances. Besides, the first costs around 350 euros/dollars, the seconds costs 700 euros/dollars... It's all about your budget and how much you're willing to pay to get something according to your needs.
