I bought Pacific Storm like the day it came out...
Overall I liked it, although I only played it thru once and have not since touched it.
I wish these developers would stop trying to be all things to all people and just build a strategy game and leave the mediocre man-your-battlestations nonsense out of it... or if you want to make a WWII flight sim, fine do it right. Enuf with the arcade flight-sims please!
Now I'm wondering if I should bother with Battlestations Midway. Almost looks like the same game...
Things I liked about Pac Storm:
- all the different ships
- the battleships
- the carriers
- the economic model
- open-ended campaign
Things I didn't like:
- manning arcade-like stations (and yet not the big guns???
)
- please spare me the lame flight-sim nonsense
- took too long to get anything built
- the AI has no defense against suicide sub-packs
So... two questions...
1) Should I be looking for updates or mods for Pac Storm? I saw something about Pacific Storm "Allies" but didn't know if that was a mod or expansion pack.
2) Would I be any more or less happier with Battlestations Midway?
