I actually think IG2 has the edge on Sins in all the 4X elements at this point.

They would just drop some airbourne Alien flu from space and that would be the end of it.Ground invasions ala War of the worlds would not happen unless they wanted to use humans for lunch or some other perversion.
I don't like the new ship textures,they look overdone and very cheesy.The old ones were better in my view,more realistic looking.
[quote]Hmmm new invasion screen .... now I am intrested might have to pre order [/quote] You would spend money just for a screen that makes no difference to gameplay,but not on the reworked tech? Very strange choice in my view.
With the tiny amount of factions I honestly expected a huge difference in gameplay,but the devs just took the Supremecommander clones route.I wonder why the devs didn't make a more epic 10+ races in the game,seeing that the races are so similar.
We are going to get a more realistic invasion screen? The Napoleonic type invasion screen was crap.
I just can't get excited about techs or planetary improvements.We could have had a improved ground combat mini game with tanks,mechs,et.We could have had a UP with actual player involvement.I will keep following it but it doesn't come close to DA features as this time.
This is ment to be a beta but we have one race just thrown in at the end and the last race we are not even going to test at all.This is more like a pre purchase demo in reality.It is bad enough only having 3 races but to have more or less clones is very dissapointing,no matter how you try to spin it the Vasari are more or less the same as the TEC,ecomony,ships,etc. And still no bloody fleets or formations in the game.
No real fleet tactics or formations still.What a shame.
Well, that was a pointless developer journal if ever I have seen one.
I don't care about what actors do the voices or possible gay romance.Which seems to be what most posts are about in the masseffect forums.
This is beta test correct? How are we ment to test the game properly when only one race is included,the balance should be tested between races.I have never done a beta test before when most of the game is kept for a suprise.
What more can be added?
Bioshock is getting monster reviews.I look foward to it.
The game could have been so much better with a turn based strategic game,sadly a lot of gameplay is restricted so it could be a trendy real time game.
The game is great apart from the ship combat,which has little strategy or tactics.
The great new Civ expansion has a setting called no technology brokering,"Players cannot trade technology they have not researched themselves".I would love to this included in the update.
The scale is too big for single ship tactics ala Nexus.Many had asked for high end fleet formations with relavent controls but this has been dodged.The battles look nice but that's about it in my view.
I just don't get it.You have a playdo game followed by shallow looking rts and 4x game.The whole game seems a gimmick.
A total waste of development time in my view.I would prefer 20 ingame ships and have a cartoon style story board than weak cut scenes which 99% of games have.
The game has not got the tactical options or the individual unit eye candy to match the likes of COH or a better comparison would be Nexus to warrent smaller scale battles.What we need is better higher level fleet controls in the game.
The game engines strength is the epic battles that can have hundreds of ships.I say more ships but with meaningfull formations control.
It's like Empires at war but with no ground battles.
Oblivion is not even a true RPG,and the story sucked.
It is not the game.Uninstall and update every driver you have.
