>mfw toasting enemy Commander with Pyros
I got it on GoG and I'm not buying it again
TA artillery is pretty brutal. Glad they kept that in supcom.
old game release on steam is an event now???
the game has been on gog for years
>>320614519
Because its vapor ware and easily available for free with all the expansions
Buying it from anyone is giving money to some faceless jew since cavedog have not existed for years
>>320615808
Steam is slowly taking away one of Gog's selling point.
>>320615814
>Vaporware
Don't use words you don't understand, anon
>not owning the CDs
fucking keks
>>320614519
give me one reason to buy it on steam when I already have it
because anyone who cared would have just bought SupCom by now?
>>320615896
not really gog hasn't really been about old games since they changed the name (they still have some "exclusives" though you could say) steam just gobbles up everything which is both positive and negative
>>320616063
>CD drives
>2015
I own the CDs too but fuck if I'm digging it out and reconnecting a DVD drive just to play it when it'll literally take me a minute to download and install it via Steam
>It's not in the top sellers
Why even live
>>320616069
they didnt update the multiplayer so there is no reason. may as well stick with FAF
Commander early self-det master race ITT
>>320616063
I doubt my CD will be still read properly. CDs don't last for life.

It's amazing what kinds of crap you can do in TA.

That's why

Such a fantastic soundtrack.

Now that I think about it, the soundtrack sounds like taken straight out of Star Wars.
>>320617129
>i miss intel/counter intel in strategy games
It's a shame such concepts are dead, it's all apm and micro and fuck actual strategy.
Does it includes the expansions? I never got a chance to play them.
>>320617376
Yes
I loved Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance, and I don't mind if a game doesn't have the fanciest graphics.
Would I enjoy Total Annihilation?
>>320617450
SC is literally TA
>>320617450
It's where it all started for real. You'll love it.
>Having a regimented defensive patrol of fighters is still the best thing ever
>>320617450
It's honestly ancient. It was groundbreaking back in the days and is still pretty entertaining but the UI etc is something of another age. Give it a try but it's hard to argue to play TA over supcom FA.
>>320617450
Considering Supreme Commander is more or less a sequel to TA, yes
>Spend 2 hours building base
>Wall of 200 turrets surrounding it
>Well now I have everything in the game I'm bored
>Build a dozen artilleries
>Eat a sandwich and watch as they exterminate everything from the other side of the map
Every time
>>320617357
Do I remember it wrongly or submerged units could not be detected without sonars or other naval units, meaning you could surprise enemy with amphibian tanks?
>>320617624
>Dat feel when your Big Bertha Battery opens fire.
Muh dick.
>>320617606
>>320617592
>>320617569
>>320617516
As long as it's not as bad as Supreme Commander 2, I'll give it a shot.
>>320617701
Or destroying half of enemy base with Retaliator
>>320617192
I'm sure that is where Jeremy Soule took his inspiration from
>>320617647
That sounds about right
>>320617708
Enjoy!
>>320617708
SupCom2 completely betrayed the TA roots. Forged Alliance is GOTYAY and TA is the elder god which spawned everything we care about.
>>320617773
NUKES! FIRE ALL OF THE FUCKING NUKES!
>>320617708
TA still has the best opening narration of all time.

>>320617889
I'm taking the plunge right now. Thanks fellas!
>mfw no one talks about the brilliant open source remake that kept the spirit of TA better than SupCom and actually got an even better, more usable interface than it
What is the best unit and why is it that helicopter that shoots a minigun in stationary flight
Such a pleasure to build 100 of them, release them in an enemy base and watch
>>320618031
B...but muh bomber fleet with escorts...
>>320618021
Not telling us more about it yourself means nobody is going to even care.
>>320618021
I spent a lot of time in 2006 playing the shit out of TA Spring but it made my computer chug once the battles got larger. I used to know the guy who made that SpeedMetal map everyone played,he became very depressed. Hope you're okay, Speedy
Do people still play it?

I loved Brawlers so much.

I don't know, I played it long ago. I binge-played it for few years until I got sick of it.
But looks like it keeps getting updates.
Pity that it didn't get its renaissance after planetary annihilation flopped.
What's wrong with wargaming?
>>320618590
what's not wrong with wargaming
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2jS4ZaVOWA
Has one of the best soundtracks...
Fun fact: It is one of the few universes that can straight up give Warhams 40k a run in the warfare department. The standard PeeWee units which can be pumped out in like, 8 seconds apiece per factory, are 20 foot tall mechs with akimbo rapid fire plasma cannons. The Tyranids ain't got shit on that.
does this game have a decent single player campaign? I havent played a good SP rts since sc2
>>320618573
>PA
I don't talk about that horror
>>320618642
I remember it being baller as fuck.
I would need to replay it though to remember for sure.
>>320618573
>Pity that it didn't get its renaissance after planetary annihilation flopped.
pity that PA was megajewed at every opportunity
>>320618642
I'm playing through the original Core campaign right now since I never played them as a kid. I think I was missing the CD with the campaign on it or something so I only ever played skirmish mode.
It's decent enough. The narration is neat. There's a LOT of campaigns with the expansions
>that one junk in in one of campaign missions worth about 20k metal
>you couldn't reclaim it
>>320618764
Nah, it would suck anyway.
But a good game could benefit from it instead.
>>320615896
No. Valve doesn't bother making old games work on modern systems where GOG does. Only takes one annoyed purchase to realize Steam can be pretty fucking retarded.
>>320614519
>No online play
Get the gog version
>40MB on hard drive required
Fuck, I miss those times.
Planetary Annihilation is better
>>320619715
Not really.
>>320619715
My experience in this game back in the day amounted to making a fuckhuge base and just nuking everything .
>>320618021
Zero-K has very active player base
.>>320618225

>>320621652
Build an armada of Big Berthas. Win from afar.
>there are 'people' who play as the ARM scum
lmao enjoy your biological mortality
>>320621107
The nukes in this game were a lot more satisfying than the ones in C&C and Starcraft.
>>320621754
>>320621652
Bomber Fleets are more fun
How much does it cost, can i LAN it?
>>320619715
Unfortunately I have to so I can build a legion of these guys.
>>320618779
Yeah I only played the Skirmish mode too.
>>320622953
wrong guy
>>320622007
Anyone else think GOG has been literal shit lately?
They fucking unbundled all of the games with multiple expansions and anthologies for no fucking reason.
They can suck my dick, I'd rather have some of my GOG games on fucking steam right about now.
Is the multiplayer working or do you need 3rd party software
I remember some vague eagle lobby thing wich would instantly fix the whole game for you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mOG3Q8CSoY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA-iag83kQc
So how about that fucking soundtrack?
>>320623912
It's GOAT to be honest with you.
>>320623473
bump
>>320624067
3rd party, obviously.
>>320614519
>not having it on gog already
>or in physical
what the fuck are you doing with your life
>>320624204
;-;
>>320623338
wasn't that just for the library? or did they do it to the store?
>>320623338
>for no fucking reason.
They did it for Galaxy.
Not really troubling me. The only thing that i dislike is the new ugly library.
Everyone who cares got it on GOG years ago
>>320614519
>he doesn't have it installed already
shamful
>>320618021
I've never actually found spring or zerok as enjoyable as TA or SCFAF
>>320621652
Get good early economy rolling
Build everything
>>320614519
This game is literally older than the userbase of /v/.
>>320617357
It's not like TA was the standard format at any point in time, even when it was released it was still surrounded by APM/micro games like Starcraft, Dark Reign, etc
>>320617516
Supreme Commander does nothing to make itself an actual sequel / successor. The only real successor to Total Annihilation is Total Annihilation Spring.
SC was so long ago, though, that I can't even remember why I hated it.

>>320614519
because for the first time ever gog fans can say we've had that game for years already instead of the other way around.
>>320617516
It's not.
The game builds upon the base but its focus is the massive battles which is not the case at all in TA.
What are the biggest differences between TA and PA, discounting shiny new graffix?
