But if you don't suck you will tell them how, when and where to throw the grenade. Welcome to Micro Managing, it's how you win at big boy RTS.lizards said:
Review: Halo Wars
- Thread starter Jordan Deam
- Start date
Have you played the demo or are you just saying this from an expirence with another console RTS?palmcrusher said:
If you know what you are doing Halo Wars can be very fun. Dont bash on a game you have NEVER played.
I expect there to be a lot of people buying this game on release day then a week later them returning it. If that does happen I win the bet with my local game store.
Quite frankly I'll wait for a PC port because there is no way I'm going to play this with the 360's horrible D-Pad.

Really? She hates video games? You must have not watched he other reviews. Reality Check: Some games are bad and she gets stuck with them.Acidburn50 said:
Before you go calling her a Troll... Wait no, just no. You do not have the right to call her a troll especially since you only have 3 posts. I really hope you didn't mean that, because well you could call Yahtzee a troll and $50 says you don't call him a troll when he bashes a game you were really looking forward to.Acidburn50 said:
Like Yahtzee says "reviews shouldn't get to you" It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.
If we could get back to the main topic... Having only tried the demo, I have to admit, I rather enjoyed halo wars. Perhaps my problem is I don't play RTS games. at all. I only gave it a shot b/c its going to be a part of the halo storyline, I admit, I'm a bit of a halo fan boy, but I agree, the controls were sticky at best, but it was fun to mess around with, so maybe it should be looked at as an RTS for us console-tards rather than a legitimate attempt to make a "real" RTS... ah, who knows!
Bad review, and I'd like to think this more rhan the fanboy inside me speaking. No, wait, I can prove you didn't do your reasearch.
*facepalm*
hey, it's not as bad as some of you are making it out to be. for what it is, it's pretty good, and it works, although i agree that the controls will never be as good as a keyboard and mouse combo, for one, there is no Shift+Click command, which makes micro management quite difficult.
we still only have the demo in the UK, but it's pretty good. i know i'm going to buy a copy, because, as i said; for it is, it is pretty solid. it's pretty, and it works

Having finally got round to playing the demo, I find it hard to believe you couldn't get used to the controls after 10-15 hours. The fact that I didn't even do the first mission is testimony to the simplicity of the controls(we started up the demo and nature called so I started at the begining of the second mission).Simple control scheme aside, I must find my own faults with the game, it does appear to be quite simple and with only 2 very similar races, I must say that there isn't much room for strategy, but a co-op story line? Amazing Cinematics? Excellent control scheme? Fantastic soundtrack? I will be picking this game up for certain.
lol, pwned! Jordan doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Not even in the least. He probably hates consoles and halo which is why he hated the very thought of using a controller in an RTS and why he said something as stupid as that.Geo Da Sponge said:
Just for the hell of it, i'm going to say...
BUMP. LOL.
anyway, getting the game early, I have to say, most of these points are correct. The controls are easy, but feels like you're missing a button or two, you have all the iconic halo units, but it feels like you're missing a certain unit, the story sucked, if you are a halo fan(which I am) dont play the campaign for the story, play it for the cinematics(sp), and to end my personal five second review, the AI seems pretty stupid sometimes...
even on Legendary, the AI will sometimes be a little thick.
Does it mean I hate the game? No. I very much enjoy it, and wish ES the best.

Well, it seems like his only major gripe with the game was that it wasn't on the PC. He said he never really got the hang of the controls, not even after 15 hours. I (and many others) loved the controls and got really familiar with them after less than an hour. He's probably just not too familiar with the controller or he just doesn't want to enjoy it because he has the belief that RTS games can only be good with a mouse and keyboard.Geo Da Sponge said:
