I only saw some gameplay and it looked like Sins of a Solar Empire. So I guess it was very similar? Was it only missions or was free-play included as well?

It had multiplayer, hahah.

Edit:
Also, it was like Total War. You enter with a set army and duke it out.

Is it translated?

So no base-building or something like that?

Shogun: Total War had base-building, in a different sense though. You could build troops etc and then fight a battle with the numbers you want. So it wasn't "really" set, only the battles.


No, some people attempted to translate it but they dropped the project at some point

Too bad, it sounds interesting and I'm always happy to try out new and interesting games.

No base-building IIRC you just have a fleet and try to win. The multiplayer is like Total War multi in that I think you just have a fleet and win. Last one I played was Rome, though, so maybe they changed that later.

Yep, same here...really wish there were more Japanese games getting translated, especially the Falcon games. Heck, I would even want to play the Detective Conan game but no, no english version available =(


So it's like the tactical rpg games, only that it's rts-style instead of turn-based?
Hm, kinda disappointing to hear that.

It's unfortunate but true that a lot of Gundam series are just carbon copies of eachother. I'm still holding out hope for Unicorn as its simply awesome though

Nah, only regarding Gundam. I didn't know it was that bad(relationship-wise/what was in the video). Only Wing got licensed here, so I always thought all Gundam shows are like that and I never would have guessed that that was the exception. And thus, my "excitement" is suddenly gone
I still have other anime I can watch (and I need to find the Soldats-subs of Monster anytime soon), so it's not really a problem.

Well, RTT games can be fun too. A game doesn't need to be all about macro and strategy. Just take a look a the Dawn of War 2 games. Not really that balanced and completely different from Starcraft, but still incredibly fun (as long as you are a WH40k fan in the first place, I guess).

I also tried to play a little Man of War: Assault Squad co-op and it is really great, but incredibly hard.

So that makes me even more curious, even though I didn't like most of the Total War series. :/

Wasn't Dawn of War 2 like Company of Heroes? Like...some buildings but it's mostly about micro/strategy? I liked that as well but I would definitely prefer a Sins of the Solar Empire-ish game or rather Conquest: Frontier Wars-like...just even bigger with Hero Units and all. Gah, that would be so awesome.

Well, lol the video I linked from from Victory Gundam, and its not ALL like that. Anyway, Victory Gundam isn't considered to be great anyway.

Anyway, I've said it before, but Wing really was one of the weaker Gundam shows. So with you planning on watching all the other shows, I think you should be more excited that they are mostly considered to be better than Wing. Zeta is extremely good, and you are almost there. I wouldn't really say Wing was the "exception" of the Gundam-shows either (IMO G Gundam or Turn A would be the biggest 'exception'). Wing just had the weakest cast cast of characters, not counting SEED Destiny or Victory. The level of "romance" and "love" in most Gundam shows is probably around the same level as Wing. Like the Zechs x Noin stuff, or Heero x Relina.

Yes, it is basically a Warhammer 40k version of CoH (with some slight differences). I felt that Sins was too slow paced for multiplayer, but that might be me. I'd prefer a round of MoO2 over Sins every day. :/

Conquest: Frontier Wars... Was that the game with the supply lines and stuff? Where you had to connect your systems and send supply ships for ammo? That was pretty interesting, but I never met someone who played that game. xD

On March 01 2011 09:47 Lucumo wrote:

Yeah, I would definitely agree with that. Never played Sins online, only games with the computer. And I would choose CoH over Sins any day.

Correct, you had to build a gate on that hole to secure a supply line. The three races were very starcraft-like btw. Terrans, Mantis and Celareon=Terrans, Zerg, Protoss. I really liked that game and there was a sequel in the making but they dropped the project back then. It was only me who had the game but since you were able to play it without a CD, you could easily share it. So a friend of mine and I used to play it via LAN and it was awesome

I just watched the Kyou Chapter on Clannad for fun. I really like those two episodes the one with Kyou and the one with Tomoyo.

To be honest, when I checked the translation of V Gundam, I saw a scene where I female officer baths with a gundam pilot and that was....weird. So uh, are you sure it's not like that?

But, the problem is that I prefer shows(and the characters in it) like Gundam Wing and so, even though it's considered rather weak, it's probably the best out of them(for me at least). Plus, the comment which that one person wrote, isn't exactly helping in that regard. Anyway, I will see it when I watch those shows. SEED and 00 seem to be the worst out of the selection regarding "romance".
Another matter, why do the Gundam shows feature nudity? The original Gundam had Mirai and Fraw and the film had Sayla...so all female characters were covered. 08 MS Dai had Kiki and Victory Gundam has a bathing scene in it as well. Isn't that somewhat weird? ^^
