Hundminen Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I don't know how many are like me, but I haven't bought another PC game since the CM Gold demo came out several months ago. In fact, I can't even bring myself to even visit my favourite Costco or EBX to check out the latest releases. Not interested in other games, period. Not even close. No time to even look at another game. I bet I won't buy another PC game this year. Maybe next year too - unless CM2 is released. How can I, with all these new user scenario's and great PBEM partners out there? These BTS guys have spoiled us, and they've ruined the computer gaming industry forever!

Guest ACTOR Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Too true. I was at Best Buy this weekend and I spent maybe three minutes looking at the games. I spent about twenty minutes looking at hardware wondering...how much better would CM run on this? That is one thing my wife actually likes, I am not buying more games!

Lorak Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I agree wholeheartedly. I just really haven't paid any attention to the new games coming out. As for WWIIonline.... I'm still undecided. I think it is a really cool concept. But I'm not real sold on that pay as you play system.

Kevin Peltz Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I have been totally involved playing CM since I got it. What really kills me for gaming are the horrendous prices by the time the games arrive in Canada- CM and Normandy '44 together cost me almost $160. They are good value for money, but I can't buy too many games at those prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I game therefor I am! To be honest, although CM would have to rate as the best tactical computer wargame to ever come along, I also enjoy other games, especially strategic level wargames & military sims, and plan to continue buying quality products along these themes! I must say though CM, once It arrives, will be the one that remains on my harddrive for the most time, or at least until CM2 comes along!

Supertanker Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I'm definitely done buying other wargames. I've always preferred tactical wargames, and CM is exactly what I have always wanted in a computer wargame. I buy games in other genres, though. Been having lots of fun with Diablo II and Icewind Dale, both of which arrived about the same time as CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich12545 Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 by the time the games arrive in Canada- CM and Normandy '44 together cost me almost $160. Yeah, but that's only $20 in real money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TURBO Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I Haven't thought about another game since i found the beta demo in january. Except CM2. This is the game that i have been wanting for since i played squad leader back in the 70's.

Juardis Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Well, as good as CM is, I will probably buy Harpoon 4 when it comes out. I've been looking forward to that game for a good long while now, so CM or no CM, I will buy H4. How long I stay away from CM though is another matter ------------------ Jeff Abbott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bad Ju Ju Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I have a feeling the next computer war game I will buy may be CM2.... ------------------ "I didn't go to evil medical school for six years to be called MR. Evil." Dr. Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperscope Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Waiting for Harpoon4. Maybe SFC2. Not even interested in any other land based war game. And I dont go to EBX any more, what for?? CM and the group keep pushing out new goodies almost on a daily basis. No need to even leave the house. sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakko Ichiu Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I'm still waiting for Hasbro/Microprose to put together an all-singing-all-dancing sequel to Master of Magic. I may have a long wait though. But I'm not actively looking for a tactical wargame, that's for sure. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Harpoon was just great. I can't even count the hundreds of hours I lost to that game. Harpoon 2 was a nice attempt. Ah, the screen shots of H4 are GREAT!

Guest Zulu1 Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Gotta agree about Harpoon 4. That is on the top of my next to buy list. Well, 2nd from top. CM2 is numero uno. Also looking good are: B17 - 2 Destroyer Command Silent Hunter II Deer Hunter MCXXII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pereciu Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Now I'm playing CM and no other game since the gold demo, but I am waiting for the release of Stars! Supernova. I played many, many hours, days and months with Stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 "He who eats only one thing all the time loses vitality. The chef rules." Great as CM is, I am always on the lookout for other historical genres; flight sims, operational games, naval, and in different time periods like Naps, ACW, or modern-era.

Disaster@work Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 As long as we're talking about other genres, I am also waiting to see how Reach for the Stars II will improve upon the classic when it comes out this year. Also Masters of Orion III. I love space conquest games. The simpler the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dirkd1976 Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I got my copy of CM last Friday. Yesterday I removed Unreal Tournement, Rogue Spear (which I love), and Shogun (another good one)from my PC. They all ended up in my "game storage box". Bye, bye fellas, you were fun, but no I got no more time for ya!! ------------------ Never mistake motion for action - Ernest Hemingway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I ordered Alpha Centauri while waiting for the CM to be finished. Well, as it happened, CM arrived first. I've played SMAC for about one hour. On a side note, my websurfing's increased about tenfold. I won't bother to close connection between turns, so what else is there to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Spook, while I'm totally involved with CM at present, I too have an interest in other wargames that might be good ... not much chance that they will be as good as CM but you never know. In that vein, I got a notification recently that the company that did the SMG follow on for Antietam, can't think of their name right now, is going to be using the SMG engine for Waterloo! Now that might be worth getting, despite the fact that Waterloo has been done to death. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
