Sins of a Solar Empire
Anyone play Sins of a Solar Empire?
I saw a friend playing it on his laptop and I loved the way it looked, so I asked him what it was and he told me. Naturally I went strait home to consult YouTube on my latest finding, and the trailer looked pretty insane. Space combat + amazing graphics = awesome. I just bought it yesterday and I have to say it was a pretty good buy. It's fairly in-depth, if you've ever played a Sid Meier game you'll know what to expect. It's also a lot like Supreme Commander. It's by a company called Stardock. They are also responsible for Galactic Civilizations, which I have never tried; Sin is their latest masterpiece. They have a few smaller projects in beta and a few on release. Discuss? Last edited by Sullyman2007; 10-6-2008 at 12:36 AM.. |

Re: Sins of a Solar Empire
Shoulda just borrowed it from that friend. You don't need a cd to boot it up, but you can't play online.
However, this is pretty much the greatest rpg ever. Everything is at a perfect pace. VASARI FTW!

Re: Sins of a Solar Empire
Heh, for the sake of the thread I said I bought it. I actually got it off of a torrent, which I don't normally do. I plan on buying it soon though. I wanted to see how it would perform on my desktop and my NVIDIA GeForce2 MX card.

Besides the graphics, the game play is pretty amazing. It's actually not a lot of micromanaging like I've been reading on other sites. After playing it for a few days, I've found that it's relatively simple to get the hang of. It just takes a little playing to get used to the game engine. So far the hardest thing to get used to that I've found is having to zoom out/zoom in to other systems you control while you're fighting on multiple fronts. It gets a little annoying but you get used to it. Last edited by Sullyman2007; 10-11-2008 at 04:12 PM.. |

If you're going to get really into it, play the reaaaaaaally big and long games, because it's 100x better than short games. |
