| I never played the first one. But I might try this out. I'm not that excited so I won't pre-order. I'll purchase weeks after release to see how gameplay and reviews are. |

| That game always took way too long for my liking. I understand that there is probably greater strategic depth to it but I don't have time to sit and play the same game for hours and hours and hours without a break. |

| First game was very well done (all it was missing was a campaign to pace it out). The success of the first one warrants my attention for this one. |

I was not even aware of this. I played the first one, was a fun game to LAN.
Also should probably update the OP with a little more info, like a quote from the Dev's or a summary or something, perhaps a trailer. |

| The first Sins was sick. Especially with all the awesome mods you could get. The only negative aspect was the lack of a campaign and the huge amount of time the game needs (they say they are looking to fix that in Rebellion). If you have about 12 hours straight to waste, play one game of sins on a medium sized map. The 4x experience that game delivers is second to none. I'll get Rebellion for sure when it comes out. Looking forward to the new class of Capital Ship. Last edit: 2011-03-30 08:14:30 |

In the original game, they had all the fundamentals for one of the best games ever made but because there was no single player campaign or multiplayer ladder/matchmaking I couldn't play it for more than a couple of weeks without getting bored, it was such a shame that a game with such potential was released with only really AI skirmish mode and a some achievements to unlock. Other than that the actual gameplay mechanics were fantastic.
It seems with this expansion they're still stuck on adding new features to the gameplay without including a campaign or any form of online matchmaking, although they are expanding the multiplayer features. I guess I might check it out if it comes out before Diablo3

Sins of a Solar Empire, It's really a real-time strategy game.
I agree, they need to add in some campaign modeLast edit: 2011-03-30 09:21:30 |

Its enjoyable if you're craving a space game. But i quickly grew tired of it ... becomes really boring ... pretty static game, battles, etc.

Yes it does.. 4X has been a struggling genre for so long though, big companies are convinced it's not really profitable when they can just yak out another FPS. Maybe independent developers can restore some of 4X's early glory. |

Enjoying it much more than past expansions. Currently messing with SP builds to see how fast I can tech to Titan -- doubt I'd be any good in MP. |

| I can't wrap my head around how good this game is. The SP is pretty fun, but I always get stomped in MP. |

| Not sure what people are talking about with 5+ hours to start a war, even on the biggest maps in the original Sins you could have a war going within the first hour, sometimes you can start attacking people within like the first 5-10 minutes. Maybe you are playing on slow speed or something? I would recommend playing on faster speeds. |

Been playing this game quite alot, I think it's amazing that they still haven't put in a campaign or any kind for this game.. they try to flesh out the story between all of the factions.. but it is for no reason in the end :/
The multiplayer is fun, the combat is still extremely basic which is a slight annoyance.. but overall there aren't many games like this out there and this one is done pretty damn well  |
