Sometimes I wish I could get into the RTS genre. This seems like a game that could really excite someone who likes those games.

This reminds me of Black and White.

I will appreciate it if it's better constructed than the last GPG game I played. Supreme Commander is fun, but you need well above the recommended specs to run it the way you'd think recommended specs should make it look.

And yes, it sounds like Black and White, only you get to directly control the creature so you don't need to spend six hours trying to teach it not to shit on people's houses. Oh, and you get to spend your time fighting instead of magic-ing up grain for people that are too dumb to live.

...I hate that fucking tiger so much.

Ha ha.. Yeah, Black and White was one of those games that should have been way more fun that it actually was.

"I get to make a god and rule people and control their lives at my every whim? Awesome!"

Except instead it was.

"Why is my monster god so retarded?"

The graphics aren't what make Supreme Commander, as they don't really look all that nice in the first place. It's the deep and complex large-scale gameplay that make it what it is, which is an incredibly fun and satisfying RTS. (About your performance woes, I've read on the GPG forums that they may be due largely in part to Microsoft's XACT sound system and the way it was built into the game, since disabling sound in the game dramatically increases frame rate. GPG had plans to implement a new sound system for Forged Alliance, but had to scrap the idea if they wanted to ship the game on time. Maybe in the sequel...)

Yeah, graphics aren't what make it (otherwise people wouldn't still be playing starcraft). But it's somewhat annoying when other games like Universe at War also look really good AND I haven't heard of that running like ass. I'm going to try out the demo for that later today and find out I like the idea of having factions that are as different as they are in UAW.

Who spends time looking at graphics in Sup Com? You play it halfway zoomed out so you can see what the hell is going on. I can't stand other RTS that don't let me zoom out and see what's going on on the rest of the battlefield.

Tip: beware the girly Japanese guy with the horse and sword. He's tougher than he looks.

Gameplay reminds me of the game Savage.


The screenshot tells me that the environmental artists were very lazy bums.
