Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds

[Sanis Prent]

Anybody got it yet? I am soo diggin this game :D

[ReaperFett]

released on the 23rd over here, got it ordered. Still dissapointed there is no Naboo campaign, but the fact the level creator lets you edit a units name, hit points and damage, Im happy :)

[Nupraptor]

I've heard good things about it, but I have better places to spend my money.

[Sanis Prent]

Um Fett...there is a Naboo campaign.

[ReaperFett]

no, there is a GUNGAN campaign, that uses Naboo

[Mhalbrecht Dalarsco]

I have to budget HArd Drive Space, and WCIII is more important to my, I'll get it when I have a second Hard Drive.

[Sanis Prent]

Next time specify :)

I'm I thinking about the same game as you guys? Game Informer said it bombed big time. Not as bad as Force Commander. They said if it came out 2 years ago it would be impressive. But other wise with the technology now, they could of done alot better.

This is the game that was based on AOE2 engine correct?

[imported_Firebird1]

AOE2 Engine[x] is way too old!;


I'm sorry, but I'm waiting for the next JK!

[Sanis Prent]

Yeah thats the one.

Aside from some of the weapon fire and some sound stuff....the game looks incredible. Very very fun...

[ReaperFett]

Dyzm, its the one that got 9 at Gamespot, 8 at IGN and is basically from the AOE series, which is classic

[Nupraptor]

Game Informer... what a joke.

[Leeloo Mina]

I don't usually play games... but if one of my friends get it, I'll probaly bug them to let me play.

[Nupraptor]

:: takes the opportunity to showcase his nifty new hardware :: :D

[Dark Lord Dyzm]

Yes I admit, Game Informer is more for the Upper Class Hardcore Gamer, so you simple gamers would be entertained by old technology. j/k

I'm personally waiting for Star Wars Galaxies.

[Lor Pallen]

What a ripoff. They could have just marketed the game as a total conversion for AoE2, and foregone the $50 in favor of $30 (default add-on pack rate). Lucasarts basically just dug up their old Force Commander prototype and stuffed it in yet ANOTHER old engine.

Could they BE more obvious? I mean, jesus christ, there is a BATTERING RAM in that game! A battering ram! Of course they renamed it something stupid, but it's still one of those old traveling huts draped with animal fur, only given a new, non-detailed texture.

I could continue ranting, but instead I'll just set out on a quest to burn the GB programmers at the stake. Battering rams...ooh, they're going to die! >D

[Daemon Hyfe]

Well I don't know about Galactic Battle Grounds, but I sure am hyped up about SW Galaxies. Boy is THAT going to rock! I can hardly contain myself. :crack

[ReaperFett]

Lor, using cutting lasers to knock down walls is reasonable. Basically, you just wanted something to whine about, and chose that. Come on, 'fess up :)

[Darth Viscera]

Never!!!
