Some_God Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I tried the demo & I liked it, but it was too short for me. I want to know if this game is worth $25, & I want to here the consumers opinion about this game ( Like you guys review it ). I hope the real game is not as short as the demo was :mad: .

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Trust me, it is worth the 25$, the demmo is too short, but the full game is not short at all, plus, everygame is different, you wont fight the same fight twice in a row CvM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I/O Error Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Honestly, I would have paid more. I've gotten so used to crap games that sell for bloated prices that I was just esctatic to see a $25 price tag next to SC. Honestly, that's just a great buy.

dougmangin Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Games for PC or other platforms are getting rather pricy these days - $59.99 for hot new titles. This game is not a masterpiece of cutting edge technology and 3D modeling. But I can say that it is one of the very best strategic level games I have ever played. I dont want to pay any more than I have to, but even if the game was $40 I would still have bought it, still enjoyed it, and still felt I got a good value out of my purchase.

Flash Gordon Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Yes, the demo was too short. I played it obsessively, trying to win the war within the year it gave me . Finally, I broke down and bought the full game. The full game is just like the demo - except you have until May 1946 to win the war. It's well worth the $25. I got a LOT of enjoyment out of it (and still do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 The game has good replay value, and the developer(s) have been extraordinarily responsive to user feedback. Well worth your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japinard Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 It's worth a lot more than $25, you'll love it. I was new to the game, took a chance and got it one month ago, and have been very happy with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigleth Pilisar Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 The game is easily worth $25. It has reasonable replayablity and PBEM and hotseat against other people add to the diversity. If it had a random map generator and random unit starting locations/composition, it would be worth $60 since it would be completely different every time (and I guess not WWII but you could play it for the rest of your life!).

JayJay_H Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I was totally convinced by the demo as it seemed like i was exactly waiting for a WW2 grand strategy game of the featured scale with a bit politics involved and technology research as well. In Germany its not as usual as in the US to pay everything with credit card so i had to bid for it @ a well-known auctioneers and paid far more than the original amount but so what!!! No question it was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay_H Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Not so easy not to get out of patience until SC2 will finally be released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daystrom Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I agree with everyone here. Buy it! I have games that I have paid $70-80CDN for and they sit collecting dust in a shoe box. SC does not sit in any shoe box! (well, maybe if SC2 come out ) I would have paid the same $70-80 for SC and been quite happy with the decision. SC was a steal at $25USD. And plus, it is written in Eiffel which is *very* cool! cheers, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasreich Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I would have payed 25 dollars for the demo. Ok, maybe not, but 10 bucks hell yeah! The seven years it gives you is more than enough to conquer the entire map as either side, if you wish to do so. The replay value is high, as you can choose multiple ways to prosecute a war, and its different each time. Plus, the new patch gives it a better ai and tcp/ip. It is an incredible work if you dont mind old school graphics and sound fx. Buy it, its the best $25 youll ever spend on a game, maybe anything.

Flash Gordon Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 What exactly is Eiffel? I know SC was written using it - is it some sort of programming language? What's it like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daystrom Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Originally posted by Flash Gordon: What exactly is Eiffel? I know SC was written using it - is it some sort of programming language? What's it like?I have just taken a look at it in the last month or so (because of SC). Your best bet is to ask Hubert for the full story, but here is my take (based on limited experience). Yeah, it is an object oriented langauge (very object oriented). The syntax is Ada-like. It is quite easy to learn and very forgiving to program in. Eiffel seems to be more than the language though, in that it is closely tied to a very mature design methodology. I am very impressed with Eiffel. I have been in a C/C++ shop for the past several years, and it would be a pleasure to make the switch (not likely given my boss . Incase you are interested, I will recommend a book, Object Oriented Software Construction 2nd Edition by Bertrand Meyer (the creator of Eiffel). Hubert recommended this to me and I have read it twice already. Hope this is of some help! cheers, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Rock Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I've bought eight games from BFC and never been disappointed with a purchase. This includes SC. (Now for bonus points: anybody care to guess how I got to eight given there are only four games listed for sale? And no, it's not multiple copies.)

docd Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I would have paid 50$ for SC. It is simply the best strategic game ever, with best playability, without boring micromanagement, nice graphics (add also the mods), highest fun-level, depth and everything!!! It is for the stratetic gamers, what was Doom once for the 3D-shooters! A milestone in gaming history. Buy not one, buy TWO to benefit the ingenius programer HUBERT!

82ndReady Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Some_God This Game is worth $25.00 and then some! It will provide you with game play that will change every time whether you’re playing against the "AI" or a Human opponent. It's challenging, simple and complex all rolled into one great game! I will guarantee you won't be wasting your time or money. Look on your shelf and count how many games you no longer play that sit there and collect dust and how much did they all cost? This game will provide you with strong competitive game play over and over again! Hubert(the creator)has supplied patches and upgrades on demand for his gaming public without delay. My hats off to Mr.Hubert and this fine company for providing quality games that the board gaming industry gave up on! Buy the game! Play the game! And believe me when I say this you got it at a "bargain price"! Let me know when your ready to play because i'm available to play! - Heith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
