WOW I'm actually posting somthing about GB wow lol
I have a few Q's

How come every body here flames ppl that say anything angainst GB?
I mean some of the ppl that diss this game have good arguments.
This game is almost like AOE i actulaaly hated the Age of empires game as I did not like starcraft the two game was too slow they took for ever.

the graphics look 3-4 years too old and i dont think they will get improved too much.

I played about 3 internet games and i'm already kind of bord of it
i think we will all play this game for a month and put it in the corner. Hmmmm what ever happend to my AOE CD ummm oh ya its there under that dust that's as thik as a rug lol.



all in all i'm just trying to say dont flanme and diss every one that has something to say against the game some have logical points

i think they should haveused the AOE2 engine or RA2 would have bin alot better

please dont flame or diss me I ment to be respectful and i hope you will be that to

pllease do comment.

They have used the AOE2 engine.

Also if you think its slow play the deathmatch option when the game comes out. :D

I discovered something else that makes me beleive the demo is an older version. Look at the screen shots, on the resources bar... Food comes before Carbon. In the demo, Carbon comes before Food.

O ok, Ive never actually played RA2 although I have played the first one. The most annoying thing I found about RA is that with only a few resource carrying unit it was too easy to wipe out someones economy. I like the idea of many vilegers so it doesnt matter if you lose a few.

regardless... :rolleyes: I still play AOE2: TC a lot; mostly multiplayer. That's where the value is, folks. Tactic-learning, having fun playing long-term wars with friends...
There's no chance this will fail with those features firmly in place.

There's a lotta differences between thse two games :

Westwood Games (C&C, Dune) : Instant fun, quicker missions, cool units, fun cutscenes that make a lotta atmosphere

Ensemble, Blizzard (Ages, -Crafts) : more tactical options, more economical options, more epic scope

"all in all i'm just trying to say dont flanme and diss every one that has something to say against the game some have logical points"

I totally agree, however, most people that are against the game come in here with really stupid points. They tend to compare the demo of this game to complete versions of games such as starcraft which isnt very intelligent. They also pick out the smallest stuff and flame about it. For example, Darth Vader's swinging gaily will not make this a bad game. Do I wish he was more masculine in his approach, yes. Do I think thats what will make or break this game, NO. People against this game jsut tend to have really poor arguing skills and just try to make people mad, in fact, you are one of the only poeople i ahave seen who posted negatively in an intelligent matter. My point is this:

Us guys who like this game tend to know the most because we cant get enough reading about it. It really *** that guys who dont like it and havent even taken the fricking time to read a tech tree have to come along and flame.

You know for a Westwood Studios Top Designer he/she talks alot like a 14yr who cant appreciate Strategy and thinks Quake 3 Deathmatches are the best games in existance.. no offence to anyone but people who go on like mindless Deathmatches are so great are annoying.

In the case of Obi Wan for XboX or Jedi Knight 3 for PC, that is good, theres an actually storyline to the killing.

so you are respectively saying that the grafics look to old, the game is to slow, and your already bored with it?

think of it this way: you've played what, 3 games on the same map and are bored! no wonder. when the game comes out just about every map will be different and you can reach the last tech level where all the civs start to show their differences. the art i don't think will change to much but some of it doesn't look to shaby.

good summary there, raven. personally, i think LEC will be fine with this game although i wish they added some spice to it but incorporationg some SC features such as mines or even units burrowing. however, i think this game will have tremendous replay value from taking the AOK engine and adding their own new tidbits such as more maps, air units, etc.

I dont see why you think he is the only person who has posted in an intelligent matter on this subject. Is it to compare this post to all the others and say this is bad just imagine how bad the others are.

Sorry but I think you should read more rather than gloat about how much more you know than everyone because you read a tech tree.

What are you talking about who ever said I like Quake 3 lol to tell you the truth i've never played the game in my life I love RTS games I just don't have that much time on my hands thats why games like RA2 are perfect for me they have high fun, strategy, and they dont take alot of time. On the other hand games like AOE and Starcraft take a long time, get boaring after a month or so and that's about it.Why do you say I don't appreciate strategy? Well stop talking about thing you dont know anything about.
I love Quake 3 lol i never had anyone say that to me lol

i agree with all the other posts god your post especially, made

well, no matter how you make a game, there will ALWAYS be people who don't really like it as much as you do, for various reasons. the trick is to make a game that draws the most people. let's see GB do that...

OMG AOE and SC get borin?!?!?!?! o how long ago was it when SC was launched? huh years and years and even now there r loads.....LOADS of ppl sayin how good it is and that they still play it...i know i do and am sure others do by their posts.......AOE is the same its still nice to quickly bring back AOE out of the cupboard and have a battle. it has that quality the games like RA will never have..... i played all the c&c's every one of em and i found that after bout a week when they lay beaten on all the levels of difficulty. u say u love stratagy yet u just dissed two of the best examples of the genre......RA2 isnt bout stratagy or balanced armies...its about either loads of zepplins or loads ofprism tanks. occasuionly u get a balanced play who attempts to try a stratagy on ur massed one unit armies and then gets pounded.....there no stratagy.......
so leave those two great games alone........

sorry had to say it...........

Good lord, people! So what if somebody flames you? It's not your problem, it's theirs for not having the decency to act like a normal human being.

If someone flames you, just ignore it or say "thank you for the constructive criticism." There's no bloody need to get all hyper about it!:mad: :D

Galactic Battlegrounds is a good game now, but when u can get to tech 4 it will make it really fun. But the Command and Conquer series will always be my favorite. They are the funnest games esp. Red Alert 2. They are more real in that a couple guys can kill a turret or a tower and there isnt a super unit like a hero or something that can take down your whole army. But tiberian sun kinda sucked and i hope the expansion for RA 2 and Renagade will be cool.

Thanx. I dont get why people have already givin up on the game because of the trial. There is another tech lvl and 4 other civilizations. They will probably change some stuff before they release the game like make building easier to kill hopefully.

Exactly! The 4th tech level will change the way we see the game. It'll make units more powerful, making buildings easier to destroy. It'll give units shields, which will make them harder to kill!

Since when is SC a slow game? Im lucky to get a game online that lasts 1/2 an hour ... RA2 may be fast-paced but is it the game that all other real-time strategie games are judged against? NO!:mad:

I'd be most pleasured if you could show me one review of any important magazine, gaming site or whatever rating AoK or SC worse than RA II . I really liked that game, but those other are the spearhead of RTS games, and saying that we are the minority is one of the greatest jokes I heard these days .

For example compare the sales of the Age series and the Craft series to those of the C&C ones ..

Does it really matter? The point is we have a mind of our OWN. If people worried about what they themselves liked, they wouldn't be worrying about public opinions. There is always going to be people who like something and people who hate something. That is just the way things are. No campaign is going to convert all the haters into lovers.

Definately, Once again Tirion , your point is valid.

People should make up their own mind about what is a good game. If some people like Ra2, so be it... :mad:

I for one like all the AoK and Starcraft, but everyone is entiled to their own opinion.

Frankly Delphi-WS, lost his credibility with me when he said that games of AOK are long and boring. I think some one else made this point aswell but you can have games that go for 20m...

But hey thats what a forum is for, to voice your opinion...(how ever mispelt it is:D )
