real.geizterfahr: It's awesome, but very, very hard. You have a couple of ships and you can choose their weapon loadout, but... there's basically just one "good" loadout to beat the game. And there's a lot of micromanagement waiting for you too. You'll have to give every ship the exact order when to use which weapon to fire at which ship or even subsystem of the ship (there are weapons against shields, weapons against hulls and weapons against subsystems).
It's a great game if you're into tactics.
wizardofid: That is a bit much for me, I prefer, throw rock A kill B,C,D,E with one shot, I get a little lost when you have to use A to give D half damage, then shoot B so that B shoots back and you can use shields on C to deflect the lasers onto D destroy D.
Then take A and C away safely and kill B so you don't have collateral damage, and then the game throws in E and F that has to be killed in reverse.
Is that about right "scratches head"
same here, most of my games are quite easy to get into and get some nice result, i have very few or no games that requires 30 minutes to read all info, then 30 minutes to cycle through all options, before i can deploy something
i usually go for boom bang, i like jagged alliance, fallout baldurs etc etc any game that gets you to do some damage and get some action without having to spend 1 hour or more before things get going, i am not that patient.
That why i start buying those casual games a year or 3 ago, there weren't many good games i want to buy like c&c in the old days, so i started to buy casual games, in which you can get into within a few minutes.
Started limited, but it has gone out of control :D having more then 200 cd(1 game on each cd)
20 dvd or so (2 tot 5 games) and some dvd that has 1 big game.
Lateron i read about gamersgate in a topic here, and started to buy there over 80 casual titles so its out of control, have only checked if they worked , so far its collecting only and maybe later get to play them .
