Hello all,
I've never played any other Stardock games before and I wondered if this was worth getting in the Impulse sale or would it be a bit dated now?
The package is on sale for US$39.95 and includes:
"Get the complete GalCiv II saga including the acclaimed PC strategy game of the year Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords, the award winning expansion pack Dark Avatar, and the newest expansion pack Twilight of the Arnor! The Ultimate Edition ties together the campaigns of each of these hit titles into a single release, plus much more."
Thanks!
Hmmm I suppose there's no actual confirmation of this GCIII talk is there? I'd be excited.
There was a post by Brad on Elemental Support- when he said support for a sequel was pushed back to work on Elemental.
To me, that pretty much confirms GC3 will be next (and probably was going to be for SD's main team- which is why I think the 2nd studio was propsed- they had two good ideas and only manpower for one). Also, with Elemental's launch problems, it would be the safe play to go to your most reliable IP afterwards.
GCIII, working on the Elemental engine which will have been refined, and with some of the gameplay idea from Elemental, sounds really awesome. I'd say I can't wait, but I"m sure Elemental if SD improves it constantly will make me very patient.
BTW given Brad's comments- I wouldn't expect a GCIII release officially until late 2012 at the very earliest. More likely 2013.
Being a fan of SD stuff sometimes requires a good dose of patience.
Only reason I'm not playing Galciv2 now is because I've already played it to death. It's not out-of-date at all, and you're lucky to get it for under $10. The sad thing is, they could still milk plenty more out of it just by adding lots more asteroids, anomalies, planet tiles, events, weird abilities, etc.. I'd pay money for that. And it doesn't look like they're getting my money for Elemental.
I might not start on Twilight of Arnor though. That might not be so good for noobs. I might start on Dark Avatar instead.
