Rogue15 Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Got X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter with balance of power for only $10 at electronic boutique! It's $13 at walmarts. I found it tucked away on the floor next to the preowned games. Spent 30-45 minutes in the store looking around, being sad that they didn't have any good games for under $15, was super-surprised to find it, when i did, i picked it right up and went to the cash register. Before i went to the mall, i was hoping to find that game too. Now i have the complete X-Wing Series!!! It's so awesome!!! I play as the empire in it. My favorite thing is the medals and how the rank goes by wins and losses! I played a multiplayer game on the zone, a 4 player ffa, i ended up getting disconnected (darn at&t!!) , but i got my butt whipped, and it counted the losses, i died like 18 times, only shot down 1 player, we were all tie interceptors. hehe At least the zone players play a game at xwing vs tie unlike xwa where they fill up the stinkin rooms with recruit ads, that is so annoying!!!!! why have a clan if u don't play!?

Sherack Nhar Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 You have XWA and you find XvT good? I'll have to take you on one day, 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 5, 2002 Author Share Posted January 5, 2002 i like xvt cause of the imperial missions. also, the battles. And i love being able to select the craft i use in the mission. edit: and the lag isn't as bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie Guy Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I loved TIE Fighter and XWA, (that's where i got my name) but i never played XvT. Is it any good? (beyond yes or no) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 6, 2002 Author Share Posted January 6, 2002 well, it's more of a 'multiplayer training' type game where u earn medals, and multiplayer is made for cooperative, altho all the levels can be played against the computer. You get rated based upon your performance, and you can choose which craft to fly for a level. the missions/levels are AWESOME. for instance, in a mission they have like tie bombers to bomb capital ships, fighters to provide cover, and interceptors to clear the minefield, well, u can choose which role you play in the mission! AND you can switch over to the rebels, and play the same mission, only from the rebel's perspective, so you'd be defending your base from the tie bombers, attacking the imperial star destroyer, etc. It's REALLY fun. the graphics are based on the TIE Fighter graphics, and all the ties from tie fighter have their unique c-ockpits (unlike in xwa where u need that 3rd part based patch...) You can find it at walmarts for approximately $13, look in the $10 shelf above the game boxes, i've seen it about every time i went there. Now, can someone show me where i can find a desktop featuring the imperial background with that awesome tie fighter pilot's helmet?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthfergie Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 XvT is a great game...I still have it in my CD rack...I think it is still installed too...(I'm not sure) But 15 if you want that helmet you can easily get it...just go into the game's files... The game is so old most of it's images are readable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Logitech Wingman. I've played XvT...I dunno. I didn't find it as charming as TIE Fighter or as good as XWA. I'll play either of those two latter games before I take on XvT, but eh...whatevah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except mine wasn't the "digital" version. Mine broke, though (I used it wayyy too much ). So now I have a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D. It's superior in every way, except that I kinda miss that useful button beneath the thumb button that was on the old Gravis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BountyHunter Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I have X wing alliance and I have played the others ie Tie Fighter Wars. I was never impressed with the Star Wars Space sims, they left much to be desired. I'd rather play StarLancer or Tachyon. I use a Gravis Xterminator digital game pad. It's ok. I wouldnt mind having an actual joystick for the space sims. The pad seems to work good for all types of games. I cant go out and buy a differnt joystick for every game style. (or can I) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 7, 2002 Author Share Posted January 7, 2002 i have almost all the sw lucasarts games for pc now. I have: Rebel Assault X-Wing TIE Fighter X-Wing Alliance X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter Balance of Power Rebellion Force Commander Rogue Squadron Battle for Naboo The Phantom Menace Jedi Knight Mysteries of the Sith Galactic Battlegrounds so all i need to complete my collection is: Rebel Assault II Dark Forces Shadows of the Empire Racer Yoda Stories out of those, i'll end up getting Dark Forces and Racer... newer ones i might get: Starfighter Jedi Outcast Knights of the Old Republic Galaxies so that's only 9 more games....hey, i got all the sw games played on the zone (i believe they took Racer off, darn them...) I only have 1 lucaslearning game, Droid Works, although it's pretty fun, i have a feeling it's the only LL game that i can play without it seeming 'kiddie' just mute that southern accent wanna-be of a camdroid if i get annoyed, sometimes i just leave it on so i can start yelling at the monitor. I enjoy doing that, as long as it's worth it, i mean, yelling at mario is NOT worth it, cause he's so red and blue. ok i'm slowly falling asleep, probably cause i found a tick on my hand earlier, and am probably infested with them *remembers watching the mummy yesterday* ok, i'm going to die, i just don't know when.

It's superior in every way, except that I kinda miss that useful button beneath the thumb button that was on the old Gravis. Well, i guess i have a newer ersion or something cause i LOVE this joystick. It has great feel, lots of buttons, and it is very comfortable (no lefties allowed). The only thing is that it doesn't have force feedback, which i find rather annoying anyways as it just makes the joystick big and heavy. (unlike most people i play with the joystick in my lap) BTW 15, i have all those games too except XvT and BoP. Oh, well, LL games don't count. Besides those i think i have them all.....somewhere.

Sherack Nhar Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Here's what I had: I don't know if you consider that "many buttons", but for me it's not much... EDIT: Tie Guy, I think I found yours. It's that one, right? I must agree that there is quite a improvement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it especially in JK for forcepowers i use alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 7, 2002 Author Share Posted January 7, 2002 finally someone else who uses the joystick instead of the stupid mouse!!!!! my joystick, the saitek cyborg 2000, has 4 hat buttons, 3 thumb buttons, a trigger, throttle (never used the throttle), and wrist support (i played halfway through tie fighter without one, probably have a deformed wrist from it). I use the hat buttons for weapons in jedi knight, that way u don't need to stop and press a number. hehe Man, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter is so awesome! I'm playing the bop Imperial Campaign, it's so cool! i just got done playing the level where i have to inspect all these ships, and i flew through the middle of the repair base! that was so cool!!!!
