Guest BountyHunter Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 As someone who played many hours of TA I just dont understand the obsession with it. It was a really good RTS for its time. Case closed. Dont dwell on the past. Rather...embrace the bright and vibrant future of SWGB. Accept it for what it is not what you think it could have or should have been.

Warlord Zsinj Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 FLAME WARS:EPISODE 4:NO HOPE IT IS A TIME OF TORMOIL IN THE GB.COM FORUM GALAXY. TA SHIPS HAVE JUST ONE THIER FIRST BATTLE AGAINST THE GB SUPPORTERS. HOWEVER, THE GB ARMY HAVE DEVELELOPED THE FLAME STAR , A WEAPON POWERFUL ENOUGH TO P*** A GUY OFF THE FORUMS. No, please don't think it is TA vs SWGB. I have nothing against it. It is a good game. Sure, it has some flaws, but even TA has flaws too! This is more 'People who hate TA vs. People who like TA', which really means its 'phantommenace vs. the rest' ------------------------- So you saying you speak on behalf of everyoen that plays TA? No, I don't speak on behalf of everyone who plays TA. But I am sure I speak on behalf of everone who is a member of the Total Annihilation community. Having TA doesn't automatically make you a member of the community. You must be an active person on any one of the TA forums, and even better if you are active on irc. This community, which you claim does not exist, is responsible for the amount of popularity that it still has, and the amazing new mods and convertions that keep on coming out, as well as new games in themselves, like TA:CQ, the FPS shooter, and the two contenders for TA2, as well as the TA movie. Oh yeah, and if you really have TA, what parts of it do you not like, and why (giving a good, intelligent reason, not "oh, I just don't like it.", or "It plays too slow." Why does it play slow?)? You haven't even pointed this out yet. And when I say, play, I mean play over the internet against a decent opponent. Not playing against the dumbass AI (which is about the only thing in TA that has really aged over the years), or in the missions, which are about hard enough to challenge a gnat. You also said that you "didn't read the reviews of the time". Now, what does that mean? You didn't read them, so your not as into TA as we are? You didn't read them, so you didnt buy yourself more than one copy? All of the reviews of the time loved Total Annihilation. That is why it one game of the year in over three different magazines, and one countless awards, as well as getting above 90% in practically every magazine that reviewed it. I am keeping back some other comments, as I too respect Paragon_Leon's wishes. Lets just hope you can too. ----------------------------- WC_HeavyArms, you tell us to behave respectfully to each other, and then you bag our game, even though you haven't played it before. You may have seen screen shots, but I don't think that is any way to base your claims. I think you should be a bit more cautious about what you say, and should atleast do a bit more research on the topic before you throw yourself so much to a certain side. (oh yeah, and my SSD Iron Fist could take out your wimpy little Gundam anyday ) ------------------------------ Oh, and Bounty hunter, I have yet too find an RTS that challenges me, and offers me the same amount of tactical and strategical options as TA. Untill then, TA is the past, present and future of all RTS games for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 NEVER CHALLENGE THE GUNDAM! Ok, I just made some conclusions after looking at some screens. I can look at a game, or play it a couple of minutes, and tell if it is good. Like GB, I could tell it would be great by looking at its screenshots. I have a gift I was taking a 3rd party, andding my 2 cents. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Locust99 Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 hey flu, i thought i come along how you can argue that SW:GB is good in anyway i dont know, but TA is a good game, but yer i know it is old.. And The TA community... well... i say it larger than GB community. and is 4 years old http://www.tauniverse.com http://www.planetannihilation.com http://www.annihilated.com http://www.tadesigners.com http://www.tamec.org http://www.ultimate-strategy.com All big sites http://www.gamingbattleleague.com http://www.phoenixworx.org All online gaming clients not to mention the numerous mods, TC and units sites.

Rogue15 Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 lol total annihilation doesn't have a community? is that a joke?! i remember my first post at http://www.tauniverse.com forum about half a year ago, that place is so active, my topic got pushed down the page in less than FIVE minutes! -S2DC (i'm known as that in the swta forums) I own both, Galactic Battlegrounds and Total Annihilation. They're both VERY different. I like the both, i must say that GB would have probably been better off with the ta engine. Note: I am not dissing Galactic Battlegrounds. I like it more than Total Annihilation, cause it's star wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
