    In case any of you people play sacrficie here and didn't hear it... the exp pack is canceled, and the project closed. There'll be no more updates or anything... Consumers are stupid... Almost the same story with fallouts... best games - horrible sales. Though FO's sold pretty good...sacrifice was a total disaster. :sad: In case you dunno the game, most people don't, try http://www.sacrifice.net The game will probably drop to 10 bucks now...its at 15 already.

    :sad: That's sad...

    It really is strange look at the these:

    "Strategy Game of the Year"
    -CGW Magazine

    "RTS Game of the Year"
    -Computer Games Magazine

    "Best Strategy Game 2000"
    -IGN

    "Best RTS Game 2000"
    -GameSpot

    "Best PC Game 2000"
    -Game Rankings

    "Best Strategy Game"
    -GamersPulse

    "Best Genre Bender"
    -GameSpy

    This is an impressive list... isn't it? It's not just any regular RTS, and the graphics are the best you'll see... Even on low power machines it looks good, and gameplay is awesome. I really want you all to try the demo and buy the game too, cuz the lobbies online are almsot empty. :sad: It has a few bugs for online play, but you can deal with those.

    What is Sacrifice? Also, I believe that Civ3 might have taken out a similar number of awards...including several "Best Game of All Time" awards :smile:.

    Sacrifice was pure shit. The gameplay was overly simplistic, the controls were awkward, and the resource system was lame. The only reason it won any awards at all is because it was released at the end of the year and it's graphics were colorful. If it had come out the spring of that year, it wouldn't have gotten anything.

    Who listens to gaming awards anyway though Saint Proverbius? I mean.... SHEEESH, you just have to release[/] a game to win an award from some magazine/web-site/fan-club etc...

    Cmon, SP, all gameplay is simplistic... Sacrifice is original though... And really great...pretty too. :wink: And I'm confused if it was released in spring it would get less awards?.. Isn't "Of The Year" a one per year award?..

    Gameplay rocks, and yeah it has some bugs...but patches made it better...too bad patch 4 is canceled.

    And if you dont think like me...FUCK YOU! :p

    Also I disagree about the controls... First of all, you can change them... second of all, what's awkward about them? Mebbe you got bad finger coordination?

    Maybe you should write one post, and not 2 or 3 in a row...

    Also, maybe your play on retarded difficulty level...

    Sacrifice was hardly original. It was more original when it was called, "BattleZone".

    Humm... I played both battlezones and they are nothing alike... Well of course they have 3D graphics and you are a unit of the game yourself (you fight and run around) and you command all others... other than that I don't see any similarities. Maybe you're mistaking? Besides Sacrifice is alot more fun than battlezone... And here's one, people play unoriginal games all the time. Doesn't mean they're not good.

    If by, "fun", you mean "shallow", then yeah, Sacrifice is more "fun" than BattleZone 2.

    I thought it was a lot of fun - never seen anything like it before or since.
    And the gods were just funny. Jim's the best.

    By Jim you prolly mean James.. yeah he is funny... I don't understand SP though...

    How is any game not shallow??? It's just a game, man... all of them are nothing more than a little time killer... how is Battlezone not shallow?.. Look at what they're called... Computer GAMES. They are GAMES... they are supposed to be little funny things not taken too seriously.

    Just games...

    Ranged beats flyers.
    Flyers beats melee.
    Melee beats ranged.

    There, you've mastered Sacrifice and that's about as shallow as gameplay gets for an RTS.
