Default Re: OT: SE4 players thoughts on OTHER games

I have no expectations for any game. I'm happy with SE4, and since I'm one of those gamers that only play 4 games a year or so.
This year I'm only planning to play, besides SE4 which I got in January, Lords of the Realm 3, MOO3, and probably some other by the end of the year. Oh, I'm I only buy games after they get heavily patched.......
I bet my toilet paper that MOO3 its not gonna be playable or fully featured untill 6 months after released.

When I have time due to delays in the 7-10 PBW games I'm in, I enjoy playing the 101st Airborne Invasion of Europe and am impatiently waiting for release of its sequel, "All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy."

For those of you who haven't experienced this type of game, you control each soldier in your "stick" and try to complete your mission after parachuting out of a plane. It's very challenging and fun. Also somewhat realistic, while being a turn based game so you aren't rushed to make bad decisions....Greybeard.

Well, since most of those games mentioned probably have hardware requirements that I don't have, I'll just keep on playing SEIV Gold. At least I know this game delivers.

I don't plan on getting too many of the games already mentioned. I just don't feel like they could give me what I want after playing SEIV. I do plan on getting Starfury, and SEV once they are out though.
One of those games that I will buy right away if it ever gets published is S!SNG. That game looked really promising until they couldn't find a publisher. I just don't see them releasing that game anytime soon, which is a bummer. Oh well, long live SEIV.

I most certainly must buy Starfury and SEV. Of course, that will entail me using a very scarce resource as of late, that is, moolah. College kids are so poor

In case anyone is interest, Freelancer went gold

And i tihnk GalCiv has a lot going for it, off course, you can say they've stolen ideas from SE4, but any game steals ideas from previous games, especially if they are good ideas
The strong point of GalCiv is it's AI, and the dedication from the developers. They already scheduled 1 year after the release, to work on updates and such, now you may think they're just releasing a glorified beta then, but imo, if it doesn't have any gamestopping bugs, and you get what it says on the box (*cough*CIV3 MP*cough*), then it's a full game. All the updates that will be added are bonusses.
Plus, the hardware requirements aren't that high, probably similar to SE4's reqs.
