JEDI_MASTA Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Iv noticed that most of you dont play GB... here is your chance to explain yourself... your on its forums, you prolly own it, but u donot play... Why?
Ratmjedi Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I actually don't have the game. The only reason that I am here is because it is a good Forum to post at that is very serious and isn't very immature and doesn't have any spammers here that I am aware of. There are alot of good people with good views here and most of the topics are good and not pointless.
Zygomaticus Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 It didn't capture me...simple as that Anygame that i play a lot today has sometime or the other captured my heart Interested me, changed me or improved me. Age of Empires, Medal of Honor, Monkey Island, to name a few. GB just didn't tick...
Tie Guy Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 it got really boring really quickly, simple as that. It didn't have a fast anough pace to it. It seemed like building a city was the primary objective in the game, and the battles were just a little sidequest. It would have really cool and fun, IF they had used the RA2 engine...
Guest Jed Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 Four words for me. Age of Empires Ripoff. I don't care how you slice it, it doesn't have any magic when you slap some franchise(sp?) on an original game and try to sell it. Even tho I do own it....

You took the words right out of my mouth Jedi! I don't think I need to go any further after this then eh? Besides, I got this game in hopes it would be abit different than AOE when I took EE back as it wasn't working right for my computer, but I guess it was the fact it's outdated then... But this game got boring quickly after nearly one to two weeks after getting it, so I feel that LA should really stay out of the RTS realm as it obviously doesn't seem to work well with them in the first place.
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 I play GB, and am more than happy to defend any accusations (most of them anyway).
Young David Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 I favor AoK above SWGB ... middle ages perform better in the AoK engine ... But nowadays AoM is my RTS. Old games end up on the shelf unless they are really top. SWGB isn't as much top as AoK.
JEDI_MASTA Posted January 1, 2003 Author Posted January 1, 2003 thats been my point since the start... its all about the "aok clone" ... I play GB regularly and consider myself quite decent (in dm anyway)... I serriously think that LA needs to look at its engine problems, I really would rather they didnt stay out of the RTS Genre because they are the only chance of having a starwars RTS. I actually thought GB was a very top notch game second only to AoM now and in DM it is still the best, but nobody would give it a chance, if there were 4000 players on GB right now my bet is that 50% of you would be playing because of more opponents and more activity.
C'jais Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 It's an AoK mod. Fans of AoK with enough money, editing tools and copyrights could have slapped that game together in half a year.
Rogue15 Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 ^ already been done, but with Total Annihilation engine, and they didn't need to buy anything, and it's better. Force Commander was what i was looking for in this game, i got sick of units humping eachother, and it didn't feel 'real' like force commander did. i still play it every once in a while.
xwing guy Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 I don't play GB anymore either, it got old fast. The RTS and game that now dominates is WC3, that game never gets old if you get high enough in the ranks on battle.net, where the good players are.
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Yeah, but WC3 is all about heroes and heroe spells. Something like a who-can-click-faster contset of heroe spells. JEDI_MASTA - OK, u're right there. GB's gaming community is not very good at all. It's all about those n00bs taking up the DM/RM rooms. If they do that they should at liest make good, balanced scenario's.
WolfmanNCSU Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 I finished the game. Except the last few in the clone campaign expansion. Which I will probablly go back to finish sometime soon.
Surfnshannon Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 I got bored of it. Newer games came out...and my attention turned towards them. Basically - the game had its day - but unforturnatly lacked the captavating gameplay that keeps the longevity of a great title. It just burned out. The game was out what a little over a year ago? They never really added to it. They didn't keep their fan's interest. And that was a boo-boo on LA's.
Kylilin Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 I don't own it, but I am sure I would play it if I did.
JEDI_MASTA Posted January 2, 2003 Author Posted January 2, 2003 yeah... it is a mod... but its adamn good mod, with alot of cool stuff... so play it lol
Young David Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Maybe a good mod ... But still a mod, a mod that can't compete against the original.
Paragon_Leon Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 well, i've never written off a game simply ' because it looks like something'... BF1942 could compare to Counter Strike. Oh, and Counter Strike is a Half-Life mod. Yet it completely surpassed it in popularity. See ? A game simply being a mod doesn't say anything. Right now i'm not playing GB, although i have it AND the expansion pack. My playing habits come in waves, and right now i'm on the BF1942 wave..
SlashAndBurn Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 I stopped playing simply because it became old. I used to play AOE during lunch everyday with my coworkers at a place I used to work so the game play itself was fairly old to me. Sure the coolness of using Star Wars characters added something but in the end it became a situation of same-old-same-old. The game just got boring.
JEDI_MASTA Posted January 16, 2003 Author Posted January 16, 2003 If you got into the community it wasnt that bad, we could have had even some good forum games or tourneys ... or the galaxy system... but it didnt happen... nobody took any innitiative whatsoever... I serriously think we the gb fans *myself included* really dropped the ball ont his game
