SC4
-
John Brown did nothing wrong. -
I do like RTS games, when they're done well, but since AoM is just another AoE clone (or so I've heard), I haven't tried it... or even thought about trying it...
While SC4 is great... the best game in many years...
If you have a monster machine, go for SC4... you wont regret it, if you liked other SC games... but unless you don't have such machine, wait to buy the game, until you upgrade...
If you decide to buy SC4, feel free to join our SimCity 4 MP game

If you aren't tired of RTS, AoM is a highly-polished game. Keep in mind, though, you'd need the on-line part of it to have the most fun. So if you don't have a good Internet connection AND the tons of time it takes to get good at the game and play it uninterrupted at home for hours at a time ... leave it be. SimCity4 is something you can play at your liesure, though you'll often find a lack of visceral fun.
On the other hand, SimCity4 needs a few more rounds of patching, and all the neat-o building and other features will be on-line in the coming months. So you might consider waiting on SimCity4 until all that is in place and the price drops considerably.I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

Wow, Yin... long time no see...
Hope you're fine. 
Good advice, both you and ADG... I don't have a monster machine, so I think that SC4 may have to wait a bit more. But (and this is a big "but" ) I also don't have so much time in my hands to extract the most fun from AOM...
... which means that I'll probably have to play Civ3 anyway. I know, Yin, I know...

Ive only been playing on 400mhz 160mb ram, and yeah its slow, but not half as slow as civ3 on the same machine.Originally posted by Alexnm

I'm playing it on 700mhz 128ram and the results are still miserable, not talking about its infinite bugs- trade deals collapsing for NO reasons causing metropolis city to collapse because cannot buy wayer/sell garbage
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Well, I couldn't resist this wonderfully crafted commercial email sent to me detailing how incredibly cool (and cheap ) AOM is, so I ended up ordering it and will receive my copy in a few days. SC4 is not out of my plans, though... I think I'll get it sometime in the future, hopefully before they release SC5...
I'll let you know if I'm happy or not with AOM.

Single player is ok, though not as good as Warcraft3's SP.
MP is where the action is......some people think its as good MP as Warcraft3, but I haven't played AOM enough MP to decide.
But I'd prefer either game to SC4.Comment

Alexnm:

MM, I have finished warcraft on hardest level, and it was soooooo easy... which was a bit disappointing, I had never been defeated in any level, AoM has a titan option which makes it pretty pretty hard even for experienced AoK gamers such as meh 
other than that: wc3 SP was fun, story was kinda cool, nice units and well balanced though i found the night elves kinda weak and puny, annoying thing though was that ye always had to wait until the end of a campaign before you could build all your units. the first few mission all ya could build was a footman and a few other basic units.. too bad cos it really ****s up a game..
why didn't they just include a tutorial or so.. not everybody is a noobish RTS gamer"An archaeologist is the best husband a women can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her." - Agatha Christie

Turtling is a losing strategy long run, though you can temporarily be defensive in order to tech......WC3 is a lot about creeping and levelling, and you need to expand within 20 minutes, so turtling loses.

That's why I hate most rts games, since I prefer games where you have to use strategy to win, instead of just needing to have the fastest reflectes...Originally posted by DrSpike

There is strategy in good RTS, though tactics and unit control are more important. I like TBS best, but RTS is just more suitable for MP, even though sometimes we get lucky and a good SP TBS game is also a good MP game, like civ2.Comment
