Another comparison between SupCom. This one not so funny

Post by PauloMorfeo »

Another comparison between SupCom. This one is more serious:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1kbbI55_iw8

Truth be told, he has some valid points. It's cool to see the other guys loading shels into the artilery and stuff and it can end up annoying actually just be playing with dots (well, you can always pretend that the game doesn't allows any more zoom and play it like a moron other RTSs, so what's he complaining about?).

*Still*, he clearly doesn't get it, he just doesn't understands what is so amazing with TA/Spring/SupCom. If he understood, he could still made the same choice but he didn't understand. That is the greatest chalenge SupCom may face, people just don't get it. And i fear that they change it too much to try to acomodate all those who do not understand what RealTimeStrategy is.

And, if it has been posted before, i'm sorry but i don't have time to be checking the forums to confirm it.

Can't people like more than one thing at a time?

Anyone else notice how he spent five seconds on SupCom? Just five seconds? Seriously, dude.

I only watched the first minute because the video doesnt tell anything about any of the games.
He didnt even say how you ie get ressources or what units are avaible. (seacombat possible? etc)

That's pretty much it. He said that COH has world war II and nice graphics and SupCom dosn't have nice graphics and involves lots of dots. Both are technically true, but they're only 1.1 % of the issue.

what an asshole reviewer.

He starts out with obvious bias, tells us nothing about either. Drools over the fact that COH is a small scale game and he can see some tiny details. see my response.

But COH is still a blisteringly fun game. It's just SupCom is also blisteringly fun. Just in a different, more stompy way.

Actually, SupCom is blisteringly fun in the same way that washing your eyes with hydrochloric acid is blisteringly fun.

In your opinion. In my opinion, it's awsome. The only sticking point is playing it makes my computer melt. So I'm saving up for that them there new computer. And when I get it...I'll be riding high.

Till the next game comes out. Then I'll be screwed again.

"I tend to focus on base development" is a fancy way of saying "I play SimBase".

interesting points, if units were not still targets when they are doing their death anims, I would feel the complete compulsion to do more death anims.

This is the right way to play SupCom so I don't see what went wrong for him.

TA spring and starcraft are the only good RTS games, if you don't agree you are wrong.

I think supcom sucks, but the reviewer is an obvious idiot. I love the to me ironic "focus on base development" line, considering his favorite CoH is about actual fighting and supom is 90% sim city.

Here's another funny supcom review:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CemyZNIn0WA
"As in an unique twist for the genre, each faction has it's completly unique campaign"
- ROFL

There's other things in there too I think sounds funny fanboism. Like,
"Becouse the game is so well balanced, multiplayer matches play out like chess matches"
-yeah right.
