Title: What to buy?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on December 22, 2002, 07:16:29 am: I have a problem. There are a ton of great games out there, but I have limited funds. I have managed to narrow it down to four games I want to buy, but I can't choose 'twixt them.

Your opinions please.

I'd get c&c generals or simcity4 myself.

Post by: Nuclear1 on December 22, 2002, 09:18:52 am: Generals. Just get it. Along with Homeworld 2. All games by Relic are sweet. All C%C games are sweet (except for Tiberian Sun). Resistance is futile.

Post by: CP5670 on December 22, 2002, 02:51:34 pm: Out of those four, I would probably go for Generals. Wait for some reviews to come out before buying anything, though.

Post by: Ulundel on December 22, 2002, 03:15:17 pm: Why don't you just get a good job as a game reviewer? You can even play those great games before official release you know...

But...Generals :p

Post by: Kamikaze on December 22, 2002, 07:54:12 pm: Sim City 4... I'd get bored by most of those. (Generals if it acts as a quick fix I can throw away quickly like Red Alert 2)

Post by: Stunaep on December 23, 2002, 02:23:33 am: Generals has been in production wayyy too long to actually impress us graphically, but its Westwood, so go for it. Or take Haegemonia (which I refuse to call Hegemonia)

I'll second that

Post by: CP5670 on December 23, 2002, 04:11:12 am: Not too sure about Hegemonia (or whatever you want to call it); all of the reviews I have seen out there say that it is basically a bad game built around a great graphics engine.

You should change that to "All C&C games are sweet (EXCEPT sole survivor)." :nod:

I mean come on! what was Westwood thinking(or smoking)when they made that game! Should be called Ab-Sole-utely Crap!

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on December 23, 2002, 02:27:17 pm: Hmm, you all seem to be singing the praises of C&C games, but what about Renegade? :shudder:

Anyway, i think I will get Generals, and flashpoint GOTY.
Title: What to buy?
Post by: diamondgeezer on December 23, 2002, 05:57:16 pm: What was wrong with Renegade? It was a huge load of fun, it was just more effort than I could be arsed with (don't like games where the AI is smarter than me :D)

Vea, verily, I voted for Generals :nod:

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on December 26, 2002, 01:32:51 pm: I think they must have escape from a Japanese restaurant, what with the tops of their skulls being surgically removed. It's just so that if the lab assistants get peckish they can have quick brain feast.
