I didnt think the story was so bad in SC1, I think everyone expects way too much out games.
I mean it had an acceptable amount of backstory and scale.

I don't care, it was still a fuckin brilliant game even without a half decent story.Cheez wrote:

What the fuck did you expect for 1997?
I am in no way critisizing the first.. I am just stating that they should have been able to do better OR not claim in their interviews that they had an "immersive" storyline this time around...TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

You now want to play TA.
My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
Awesome game was awesome.
For its time, even compared to some new RTS games, it has a lot of unique features.
Things like reclaiming wrecks, planes crashing into your shit. Wind, solar and tidal power? D-gun
Of course I assume TA was the first with those things.

I like the story so far.. I'm only on the second level though. Never really found as much fun in Campaign as in Skirmish in any RTS.. I don't like being limited
Wow they killed the resource system, and experimentals are really just T3.
Also you can powerbuild units but not structures wtf o.O

I loved that the first brought the first ever true "hitreg" system to RTS, where everything is fired at a target and can then hit anything they encounter in their path. Rather than a "hit/miss" system like Warcraft, or a certain hit like C&C...TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

I saw a youtube video of someone shooting down aircraft with an Experimental artillery because the aircraft just happened to be in the shell trajectory of the artillery

indeed.
In fact, the whole long range artillery/radar/etc stuff itself is pretty damn awesome all around.
Best thing about TA for me was the way the planes moved. not like Starcraft where the just moved in eight directions like clunky pieces of shit. Planes in TA were things of beauty, and getting a nice troop of 30 brawlers floating over your enemy's base was a sight to behold. Even dogfights were just awesome, I could watch those for ages.
No other RTS game has ever captured that motion of air combat...except SC1.

I love all the music in TA. Think I'll go find one of my favourite songs.

Fuck yes, I do!
I will now:
1) Go listen to the TA soundtrack while I...
2) Install TA, both expansions, all official addons and some selected customs units.
Edit:
Listen!

Yeah, unlike other above mentioned RTSs where Artillery is just a tank unit with 2x the rangeTimmmmaaaaH wrote:

i am so confused

Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that you've been spouting "terrible terrible damage" in almost all of the responses you give. We get it, you want to have Dustin Browder's children and have Starcraft 2 orgies.

StarCraft is one word, but made with two. Initials seem to be the proper term, but colloquially SC is overwhelmingly called an acronym.

Supreme Commander was actually a pretty good game. A very complex one though I found it quite hard to get into infact I never got into it. The game just took forever to do on campaign mode! Most battles I found needed to be won with masses of units, which basically just destroyed my computer.
