Supreme Commander 2

Anyone else play the demo yet?

Only finished the first champaign, was a lot of fun. More story driven. The UI is much simpler which is nice. Eyefinity makes it a lot of fun.

The controls I do not like just yet, was easier to move the camera and such in the original. Could just be I am not used to it yet. Unit selection, group selection and things like that are much easier.

The old select units and hold + Click no longer sets up formations which I miss. Formations kept things organized and sometimes helped out strategically.

Game looks good, hopefully the demo will last a little longer. I will buy it but dunno yet if I want to pay full price for it.

Demo was way to short :( Oh well I will buy it, but probably not on release.

The tech tree is great. enjoy that a lot. Need to be able to blow up the map more as I like to run with Eyefinity on instead of triple screens but small loss.

Game runs so much better than the original. Some of the details appear to have been removed but its a smooth game so far.

Upgrades for units is fantastic. Allows you to tweak and upgrade what you plan to use. Keeps it more diverse.

The experimentals shown in the game are no longer super OP from the small play they have. I am sure with upgrades they will be mean but I was pleased to see them not be so OP that everyone will just build them and screw the rest of the tech.

Seems neat so far, I got the demo yesterday.

The only thing that seems kinda lame is what bothered me in number 1 - seriously you are in charge of a retarded looking titan? It makes voltron look like a dancing squirting vagina that pleases ever male in the world simultaneously.

I can see the world powers be like - um we need a mobile command station - I know lets make it into a giant fucking retarded robot! Not to mention the fucking robot has basically minimal defenses.

Hehe, It can seem that way. And depending on your play style it is that way. But if up upgrade your main guy he can be pretty brutal. Same as in the original. I won a few rounds by beefing him up and transporting him to the enemy base mid battle and wrecking havoc lol.

But yeah, it is a little weird to make them look like that.
