Speaking of comics, what is the series where Vader hunts down these annoying Clone Wars Jedi while being an Enforcer for the Empire keeping rogue Imperial General and Revolutionaries in line while handing whatever crazy Sith training P-Spiffy threw at him?

It was good for the first few comics, but it squandered what promise it had. Plus it pretty much solidfied Jagged Fel staying Emperor. It could have been much better man. The first two or three comics can be left alone but the rest is fair game. Also, if you have Battlefield 2142 kicking around and can be bothered First Strike has a major content release on the 28th of the month.

Gustavus posted:Say what you will about SWG and SOE, but it was one of my favorite MMO experiences, and with some tweaking, I'd love to play another game like it. None of us are hating on SWG, just the broken creepy trading card obsessed post NGE thing that barely resembles it now.

Gustavus posted:Yeah, I had stopped playing before the NGE and tried to pick it up again a while ago but could only think to myself Why would they ruin a perfectly good game like this? Considering that SWG right from the start was a billion times more original that the MMO it tried to beat (Warcraft) which is the same basic RPG Light/MMO stuff just rehashed to be used friendly to a certain extent they didn't really have to do anything but some minor balancing and bug fixes with occasionally addition of related content. SWG was doomed from the start though, being released at a time where two more prequal films had yet to be launch or just being launched and LA went completely retarded trying to push all sorts of prequal related games to get as much sales as possible.

SWG gave us the gift of Imperial Wookiees and Mon Calamari. I wish to see the alternate universe where they stayed with the CU where they kept making their own faction armour because Stormtrooper style Wookiee armour would have looked race betraying levels of kick rear end.

Do you have the spare time to maintain and capital to spend on Stormtrooper armour? And if you get stuff the social skills to put up with the lamer members of whatever group you join to show it off with? If so go for it. You got to admire the hardcore nerdyness of the 501st guys as with all levels of detail when it comes to hobby. And they do stuff for charity too.

I think its pretty good and loads of people still play it. you can be pretty much everything from star wars and the battles all take place in real places from the star wars galaxy, like naboo and its theed generator. Movie Battles is pretty awesome, as it is like the video game version of your childhood free for all star wars action figuire brawls. Plus, Droideka friendly fire is the easiest way to troll both teams.

Meh, I'm strugging through some of the lamer aspects of Empire At War a game that should have been in development for another year to include a Z-axis for space battles. They won't get my sympathy. Thats what you get for mass marketing mediocre clone war themed dreck for Consoles instead of making the obvious good game sequals. Of course they won't learn if they recover from this like they didn't learn last time.

gently caress I hate the ground combat in Empire At War. It is just plain awful. It is like they had some intern play Command and Conquer, some of the Total War games and several other stellar titles and asked him to report him back. They picked some rear end in a top hat who hated RTS because that is the only logical way to explain the tedious nature of the games poorly designed mechanics. I'm really not sure if I want to keep playing now. Solid work LA, truly a modern classic.

Slantedfloors posted:My "favourite" levels were the ones where you were just constantly inundated with native units. Literally, just hordes of poorly armed (and poorly rendered...) models flying toward your units, surrounding them, and firing constantly. gently caress fighting with and against those guys, they are the worst cannon fodder I have ever experinced in RTS gaming. I personally find it mind boggling how easily your Infantry dies. Massive rear end Turbo Laser, annoying build pad anti-infantry lasers every goddamn vehicle that can move instantly kills them as it moves over them. Not to mention the half assed defence upgrades and 'planetary condition effects'.

Chairman Capone posted:The ground combat of Empire at War is especially appalling considering that the game was designed by Petroglyph, which is the company made from former Westwood Studios employees after EA shut down Westwood. The same people who made Command & Conquer are responsible for one of the worst ground-based combat games I've ever played. That is pretty depressing fact yeah. Empire At War should have gotten a lot more staff and development time as well a better engine licence. I can't believe they went for a release without putting a Z-Axis in the space battles. On that topic, gently caress those Tartan Cruisers so much. Why the hell haven't the Fighters got an evade skill so I don't have to micro micro manage my space battles?

If you were building Star Destroyers you might have been using a mod. Despite the cruddy rear end the game is it has a hell of a lot of mods. I'm sort of watching Phoenix Rising and seeing what they can do to make Ground Combat less shite.
