So previoulsy you had to shill out some some cash and pre-order the game to get into the beta.  Now you just have to "like" them on facebook.  I'm tempted...
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

This should have been in the games forum.  Could someone move it over there.  Sorry. :(

It's worth a try, of course. It's suppose to be pretty good.

Gave it shot.  Plays pretty much like the last one.  That's not really a bad thing, still I suck at it.

I don't like RTS games, mostly because I am bad at them too.  I wish I liked them because this one is supposed to be really good.

Razgovory

Not being good at something never bothered me.  Mostly I like the spectacle of these type of games.

Yeah, so did I.  Tried a multiplayer match but wasn't anymore successful.

Bought the first one when it was on sale, but it was far too hectic for me, even in the tutorial missions.

I played the first one (SP) with lots of pausing. In MP I got my ass kicked.

JonasSalk

I've played a few games of it with and without friends. It's honestly just too fast-paced for me to be able to keep up. If I'm in my base building something, my units are dying, and if I'm not in my base building, I'm falling behind on production and will lose. It's insane.

QuoteWhy so anti Soviet?

Why so much hate to soviets? U know i live in Russia and i am proud that i was born and live for some time in Soviet Union. You include Soviet camping in game and make soviets look like monsters. The only good person in game is Lev Abramovich Isaakovich wtf is that rly? there is 0 Russian names like that if i want to be a jew i would play games about jews and not soviets. Absolutly rasict game. Will not buy it after i know details about campaing. Btw 90% of Russian citizens proud about their soviet past.

TBH the double patronymic does sound kind of weird. Should be something like Lev Avramovitch Bergstein or something.
