Going to get a new game...which out of these? Fahrenheit, age of empire/emipre at war

[Raymond Lin]

Star Wars: Empire At War
Age of Empires III
Fahrenheit

I know Fahrenheit is a must game, but i quite enjoy the previous age of empire, how good is the new one?

 

[Haly]

Fahrenheit! Great game

 

[ScarySquirrel]

AOE3

 

[nikebee]

Fahrenheit! Great game

Echo.... Echo....




anyway... not played the full version of AoE III but the demo was pretty good. i've heard a few bad things about the full game though... not too many people seem to be overly impressed by it

I went toa friends house and saw him play empire at war.
I didn't really play the game so this next statement will seem a bit stupid, but I just didn't like the feel of it while watching him play it.
You build stuff from space itself so when you get right down to the planet, it's what you have and what re-enforcements you can call in and attack with that.
For me at least, one of the best parts of RTS games is the building up of bases and an army, not just have an army waiting for you to go and attack with. Although that is fun sometimes in certain missions, for me at least, a whole game of just that isn't fun.
I love the building up of your bases

I am thinking of trying a new RTS game

The starwars one really looks interesting, something different I guess am going to download the demos tomorrow of starwars and aoe3 hopefully

 

[Seft]

I haven't played Fahrenheit, but AOE3 and SWEAW were both very disappointing for me.

And here, although BFME2 looks promising.

AOE3

Noooooo!

Get Fahrenheit, and a budget copy of AOE2, or even, AOE1. Much better

 

[ScarySquirrel]

why? I played AOE2 (i admit not as religiously as some) but if i had to pick one to play out of the 3, its would be AOE3.

great for online play if you got a mate to play with on Voice comms.

Far too complicated, with AOE1 you could just set up resources and go off to build a war machine.

I think AOE is a victim of it's own success, they have tried to keep adding to it and done it harm in the process

 

[Raymond Lin]

ordered Fahrenheit, new copy for £16...good price?

 

[Haly]

I would say so It's certainly worth the money.
I paid £30 and still thought it was well worth the money

bah I downloaded the starwars demo and am bored already

I guess it's a bit of a niche sort of thing, be good if you're into starwars, I guess the last RTS game I played was warcraft3 tho

The inspace combat got a bit wierd, a lot of sitting back and waiting for stuff to happen, watching the tiny ships flying in circles shooting at eachother.

I also noticed the demo launcher seems to try to read every process on your computer , not sure if it's for some sort of cheat protection or something was a bit surprised tho.
