Re: Planetary Annihilation!
Oh my... that does look like it could be fun. I have never played total annihilation, is it worth trying to get hold of?

Re: Planetary Annihilation!
They're the people behind Super MNC though, and I think that game is rather ropey.
Re: Planetary Annihilation!
The game itself is fine, its the Monday Night Queuing you have to do to get into a game that's the problem.

Re: Planetary Annihilation!
I never got into Super MNC, due to the aforementioned queueing issue. I'm too impatient for that shit. Regular old MNC was pretty good though.

You're probably better off with SupCom 2 these days. TA was brilliant in its day, but the Sups are prettier and maintain pretty much the same gameplay.Pnut wrote:Oh my... that does look like it could be fun. I have never played total annihilation, is it worth trying to get hold of?

Looks good, as long as it doesn't take 10 years to build an army.

I can't speak for Sup Com 2, but I'd certainly still recommend TA (maybe without the second expansion pack) over the first Sup Com.Dog Pants wrote:You're probably better off with SupCom 2 these days.

Re: Planetary Annihilation!
I preferred supcom one to two, but I've only played a little bit of two. I really ought to give it another go.

oh, and back on topic (and because I know this is important to some of you):

The little bit of 2 that I played didn't seem to offer the same level of control, SupCom 1 on the surface appeared to be very complex but the way you controlled things I thought was simple in application but allowed you to do very complex things. With 2 they changed the approach enough for me to not feel familiar with it.
Re: Planetary Annihilation!
I have to confess I never played Soup 2, but the common concensus among the blogs I follow seemed to point towards it. The first was good though.

Re: Planetary Annihilation!
This baby's gone alpha, so if you pledged > $90 then you've got it.
Lower pledgers should see an upgrade option (if you're really that desperate to play a game in alpha stage).

Re: Planetary Annihilation!
On Steam for a snip at £67.99 - I do hope that's a 'pledge' price rather than a new bar for retail costs, cos that's pretty pricey for a game.
