So, uh, who else got this game.
I did yesterday, and to be honest, on its own its a good game, but it didn't live up to the hype at all, though honestly i'm not a big fan of the plot or premise, and it's hardly as 'realistic' as is claimed constantly in the reviews of said plot. But besides that i just felt that the game was hardly as fantastic and ground breaking as it had so often been praised for, the sort of gameplay that exists in the game had been done before and were much more enjoyable in games like DoW and C&C Generals, and with this in mind the game is rather shallow, as it just takes already established gameplay styles and doesn't add anything new other than fancy new graphics, in fact that's its main selling point, simplifying the RTS system to allow 'mainstream' gamers to into it.
Honestly the game isn't worth all the hype and hoopla, another disappointment of an already disappointing year of gaming, i hope the next year will be more fruitful for the gaming industry.
As you're more enthusiastic and knowledgable about military affairs than i am, i was wondering what you all thought of this game, personally i think it's just another form of public consumpsion and doesn't accurately portray the events of a Soviet-US war properly, particularly as the Soviets are characterized in a very 'klingon-esque' manner, typical of similar works of fiction.
