It looks so cool. I don't have any age of empire games (besides demos) and this looks worthy of my money.

If it's just rehash of AoK, I'll buy it. I don't have either AoE games, so I would be just as new for me.

I they wander too much into innovation... they might be on a collision course with failure (ooOHH the beautiful phrase :eek: )

In other words... if it's good, I'll buy it. But not when it comes out.

I am not a huge fan of AoE, did not really correspond to my tastes, but i admit it is an all round solid game. My type of game must have more depth strategy and tactic wise, like Shogun:Total war.

But If you Add the Star Wars universe to the AoE engine, that is to tempting for me. I will have to buy it.

Yeah 15 I agree. I read a lot of the reviews of FC. They did not like the camera, but I loved it. It was like a new game every time I played it!

Hey SabianMasteef,

If there was one thing i didn't like about about FoCom, it wasn't the camera, it was the interface. It was just so hard to use, especially for a C&C player like me. I also didn't like the commandpoints system. Add that to the kind of slow gameplay and a little bit of difficulty with the camera, and it didn't turn out very well for me. Plus, it ran kinda slow on my Comp.

Tieguy,

I agree about the interface. Plus that thing took up a third of the screen. That got annoying. There were some down times, but when the enemy came at you they really came at you hard.

is anyone getting this game? IS ANYONE GETTING THIS GAME?!! if you dont your a fool. this game looks like (so far) the best thing to ever happpen to Star Wars games (besides xwa, of course). but who am i to say this game is going to be any good. i guess i'll wait and see how the game gets reviewed before i buy it, still a little sore from that Force Commander experince. $40 bucks down the drain.

I agree that Force Commander's interface was tricky, but most importantly, the framerate draaaaaaaagged. Even today, I still do not know how to upgrade my units...

I did not wait for the reviews on force commander and was ashamed for falling for the Lucas Arts trap. But this time everything looks dang good, and they could have a great hit on their hands if they dont fall for the same mistakes FC made.....Poor graphics, poor resource management, poor AI, poor controls. But in the end it comes down to one thing really......is it STAR WARS!!!!!! Thats all that matters.

Yeah Reviewers suck, only listen to them if they talk about Bugs. Otherwise the game is as you please.

That last sentence made noo sense whatsoever
 Tie Guy
07-30-2001, 4:17 PM

it makes pefect sense.

The main clause of the sentence is "i loved that game, but teh reviewers hated it." It's a compuond sentence connected by the conjuction and. The secondary clause is "Take Jedi Power Battles for example," This is an adjectival subordinate clause that explains what the subject pronoun used in the main clasue of the sentence is. Therefore, it makes perfect sense.

Just had to clear that up :D
