Game Review: Supreme Commander

If you like rts’s Then you will love this game.
It has one of the best combat, and control interface I’ve ever seen in a rts.
The User interface will take time to get use to, but once you do it’s as smooth as waxed metal.
Gameplay: 9/10
The game play is probably one of its strongest features. It has a unit cap of 1000!? Err. Hm might not seem like much, but you can have a eight players skirmish match.
So it comes out to a possible 8000 Units on screen! Yikes! You will be needing a powerful cpu for this. The ai is a little stupid. Main reason for no 10/10, but on higher difficulty’s they
can be tough. The interface is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Being able to give complex orders to your units, is well… “WONDERFUL!”
You can start a build queue on many factory’s. Then send them out from the building to the enemy base, or on patrol as soon as there built. So you never really need to baby sit your base, or units.
So you will never feel like your being hindered by the controls. There is a Little bit of a learning curve if your not good at rts’s though.
Sound: 7.5/10
The music works for the game, and fit’s nicely. It will get you pumped up for a fight. But nothing that you would listen to in your car.
The music will change during combat. Which is a nice touch. Not much to say here really, besides it just does the job.
Story: 6/10
Err the story this is were the game falls flat. It works, but you will always end up at the same spot at the end. Nothing really to write home about. The UEF are Buttheads. The Aeon are… Well a little crazy. Depends on were your looking from. The Cybran are well? The good guys???? Yeah the guys that look evil as all get out, are really the good guys? go figure.
They are enslaved by the UEF. So yeah UEF bad, and the Aeon want’s to kill them all, because they are Impure. Wow. π So a little twist for ya.
Graphics: 9/10
This game was made back quite a while ago. Back in 2007. and it still looks very good. There are some hiccups here, and there though. The units in the game just look like bad ass. They always
look like something you don’t want to tangle with. Back in 2007 there wasn’t a pc that could run this game at full graphics, and run the game at a smooth 60 frames. Too much on the screen. XD
Also being to see the entire battle field with a quick spin of the mouse wheel is a nice touch. As seen below. Being able to zoom in and out fast on a map that is 81km square is really handy.

Final verdict: 8.5/10
Not a perfect score, But is one of the closest too being a perfect rts. The Units are big, and take a year to build but when you unleash it, as pain will cometh. The units are very well balanced.
There is no cookie cutter ways to defeat said units. Strategy is a must here. You are not gonna blitzkrieg all the time, like you can in other rts’s. On top of that you will need to master all units. And understand them inside, and out. Every thing just feels good. You never feel like you are playing the weakest army. You will always have your weakness’s, and strength. This is a good
Real time strategy. If you love RTS’s Then buy this game. If your curious about rts’s Then give it a try. Heck this one may change your mind on them all together. But I won’t be holding my breath on that one. You can buy this game on steam for $14.99, or 19.99 for the exp pack that comes with it. Quite cheap for such a good game. I would recommend it.
Buy me now!
This was just for fun, and to let people know about this awesome game.
EA is the worst gaming company of the year?

Yep seems that all over the net. EA was voted the worst company of the year, and it seems that many agree. Wow what a shocker. π
No really I was surprised. So many people buy there games, and support there crap. That I just don’t get why people buy this junk.
I thought I was just weird for disliking this company. Guess not XD
But Why will you still buy even knowing this? People just make me sad. ;_;
They like to eat up smaller company’s, Like Maxis, Westwood, etc. By the way my favorite dead company’s. :C One of the main reasons why I hate EA.
On top of that there business practices are just wrong. OMG so wrong. Just to support some reasons. π
They Messed up so hard on games like Mass Effect 3, They messed up years of work, and story. Just so that they can make more money.
EA is nothing more than a massive nickel, and dime conspiracy, But people bitch about it when they buy there games. Any one remember Spore?
All the damn DRM Crap that made it in. Even though thousands protested it. “THEY DON’T CARE”
Get with it America.
If you want them to change. Stop buying there games. Easy huh? If you buy they won’t change a thing. Do you think Pizza joints would not change
if America stopped buying pizza? Yeah they would. Next day they would be burger joints. You make the sales happen. Talk with your money.
Oh for EA’s response to all this hoopla,
βWeβre sure that British Petroleum, AIG, Philip Morris, and Halliburton are all relieved they werenβt nominated this year. Weβre going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide.β
Nice bunch of people huh. Dismissive, and arrogant aren’t they?
I Guess What I’m trying to say is, it’s just nice not to be alone on this. XD
Oh They still have a nice screw you for the Mass Effect ending. New dlc that won’t make any more since, then what it does now.
God child? Magic? Gate Explosion’s? Starvation? Nice crappy crappy ending. I hope that $70 bucks was worth it. XD
Now I’m of to play my over hyped rpg. ._. Sigh…..
For more info on This go here Check it out!
This was fun. May be more of these. XD
Wow Really guys……

So I just got news about gazpacho. I’m not really concerned about his ban. It’s the fact that you would go on to his server, and grief it. That’s not good at all.
It reflects badly on us here at TBU. We are not a Griefing server. There was no reason for you guys to do that at all. We the admins will remove the bad
apples from our server.
I’m touched that you think of us so well that you would stand up for us, but that’s not the way to handle it. Please from now on let the admins take care of these problems.
Or you may be demoted or banned from the server. We would not want to do this so please. Never do it again. If you don’t like a person, Sounds simple but stay away from them.
If they are doing something that bothers you let an admin know. Ok?
If we ever catch anyone doing this again. They can and will be demoted. This will be updated in the rules page.
