My friend obtained the game and I went to his house to try it today...... here, are the few things about it:

A) It took up about 8GB+ to install the whole game!
B) LOTS of power needed to run the game!
C) Everything in the game takes lots of time.......
D) It plays a lot like Total Annihilation.......

Here's a fun thing I did in tutorial, in the tutorial they give you one commander each from the 3 different factions........ built a decent base (1 land factory lvl3, 1 air factory lvl3, 1 shipyard lvl3, few lvl3 powerplant), upgraded all the commanders plus the sub-commander which was teleported in (by a special building) and a few lvl3 engineering units...... then all focus on building the nuke silo, did that, then focused on building the nuke missile........ then had all the commanders and the lvl3 engineers parks itself at 4 lvl3 powerplants....... and well, drop nuke in the middle of them

MASSIVE DAMAGE!! if only we took a screenshot then :/ ..........

E) About everything is awesome and now contemplating on upgrading my PC to play it

Heh heh........ my friend...... errrr, used the net to acquire the game .......

I don't exactly remember his specs but its somewhere around 1GB RAM, a GeForce 6000 something series card, can't remember his processor though but I remember he saying its not 64bit nor dual core..........

Gawd...... upgrading my own PC is like buying a new computer :S ..... and not my PC in M'sia but my PC over there in AUS...........

Anybody want to donate to help me upgrade my PC ........

or maybe I'll just stick back to Total Annihilation :/ ............ oh well

Cause playing 'MASSIVE' in this game is fun!!.........

For the first Aeon mission (which I played in my friend's place), I wanted to use aircrafts to attack the human base but then found out that the aircrafts needs fuel unlike Total Annihilation so well........ sea attack then ....... didn't need that many sea unit though for that strategy......... however, my army of about 18 almost got wiped out when their commander exploded in the middle of my army :S ...........

Maybe its just the different difficulty of the missions........ quite sure you need big numbers later........

I really want to play the game ........ gawd, you guys are just making me craving more for it ...........

Well another good (but somewhat slow paced) space battle game is Nexus: The Jupiter Incident...........

Knowing how to play TA helps a lot in this game as they share quite a number of similiarities........ I manage to get comfortable with the basics of this game quite fast.......

About the UI....... perhaps if they made the icon a little more smaller than it currently is........ or retain back the one sided menu like in TA, plus the multi-menu from Red Alert 2...........

Perhaps they'll make it more open like Total Annihilation with lots of mods........

Now thinking of getting the limited edition version of this game :/ ....... but then....... COMPUTER UPGRADE FIRST.... in like....... much later :/

Yes it is!!.......

I think its about AU$110.........

Yeah cause Australia usually sell games more expensive

But anyway, I got the Collector's Edition today at a slightly discounted price of AU$96 ...... expensive but gonna be troublesome to ask my friend to get it for me from KL :/ ..........

I am from KL...... I'm just studying in AUS .........

I believe you didn't read my previous post properly........

I said it would be troublesome for my friend to get the game for me in KUALA LUMPUR (even if the game is cheaper there)..........

Oh, and you must have an original copy of the game .........

Has anyone tried running this game in a SLI (dual or quad) setup?........

Collector's Edition comes with 3 posters/cards (one for each faction), bonus DVD (game details etc), one tech tree poster and a metal badge......

Ok, finally got my lazy ass up and took the pictures....... so here's for the people curious to know what's in the Collector's Edition

*Faction poster's length is 33inches and the width is 23inches.
