Hmm, never played any of those games, but I’ve heard a lot about Total Annihilation.
Is it worth getting for somebody who hasn’t played it back in the time?
Did it “age well”?
It was an awesome game back then, but imo unless you’ve got the stomach for really old games, you’re best off going with it’s much more modern spiritual successors, Supreme Commander 1 (+ the great expansion) and Supcom 2. Another option if you’re still interested in TA is TA Spring, a free community development of the game that’s still going reasonably strong I believe.
Yeah, that’s what I thought… there are really only a few games old games, that are still playable for people who didn’t play the old ones. Well, thanks! I might get SupCom when it’s on sale somewhere.
I heard, that the second one isn’t that good, or is this just the hardcore fans of the first one bitching?
Supcom 1 is a great game. Supcom 2 is a different game, and quite a disappointment for those of us who where hoping for … well supcom 2. But it is a good game in its own right. So to answer your question. Yes those claiming that supcom 2 is crap is just hardcore fans bitching. Still if you want an experience that is similar to TA, I would go with supcom 1. Excuse my ramblings.
TL;DR : Supcom 2 is good, but supcom 1 has the TA feel.
