Trinity vs. Rebellion

[KWF]

which game In You Opinion is better to get if you can only choose one of them?

Single Player wise?

Multiplayer wise?

Is Rebellion worth it to get at 66% off?

nice glug. Run out of happy pills?
most people are moaning about how it's not much different from trinity, no-one seems to be talking about which game is the better of the 2 only that after owning trinity rebellion is kinda fleh. It's a good question he's asked and I'm looking forward to some people with worthwhile opinions and generally decent attitudes to answer it. crawl back under your bridge.

Do you need Trinity to play Rebellion?

[The Barrage]

Rebellion is a stand-alone version that incorporates all the changes in Trinity (which, itself, is a collection of three expansions) as well as some new changes of its own (Rebel v Loyalist factions, and the Titans, primarily).

Trinity only lets you play one of the expansions at any time (Diplomacy, Entrenchment, or Vanilla, I think?) while Rebellion builds the rule changes from all three previous versions into one.

Overall, if you don't have any Sins games yet, buy Rebellion. If you already have Trinity, its up to you whether the ability to use all the expansions at the same time, and new toys like titans and corvettes, are worth the new purchase.

No. Rebellion is a stand alone expansion. It includes all of the content from Trinity.

I'm not sure what is up the hate. I am here to see if others think Rebellion is worth getting if u all ready have Trinty and all it's add ons, or if Rebellion is just more of the same. Even though the price is very good, I can purchase a couple other Titles like Batman and Orcs mus die for even less. So many good titles and so little time.

Internet kicks in. Why are you even arguing on the sense of topic?!

[Sanjuaro]

Bamfomee please don't start completely off-topic and unnecessary flamewars. It's just plain rude and doesn't add anything at all to the topic.

On topic: If you were to choose between Trinity and Rebellion I would suggest going with Rebellion due to the extra content and having all of the aspects of the seperate Trinity expansions poured into one game.

trinity has the trinity mode, not vanilla! XD
trinity has the expantions, as separate games, but also the conglomerate game of "Trinity"

rebellion is harder... but its the only one on my desktop pc right now... idk. its a huge game and if your going to play over a hundred hours like i have, then get trinity too. its a game changer and they are very different in-game...
rebellion also feals slower.

I have trinity but have watched my Son play Rebellion. As far as i could make out Rebellion is Trinity with only slightly better graphics and titans. And that's it. So if you already own Trinity, I can't see any reason to buy Rebellion.
The advantage in buying Trinity is that it's only half the price of Rebellion yet basically the same game.

Rebellion costs too much would be my major complaint. If you can get it for 30 bucks or less, go for it. Its maps and AI play better, the negotiating flows better, and the choice of rebel/loyaltist is surprisingly important to how your Empire develops. Its graphics are better as well, and there are titans, which add an interesting aspect to tactical warfare. You'll be winning for the first ten minites only to find that the reason behind that is just because the AI was sinking all its money into building a titan. Your ten minite gain will quickly become a ten minite grudge match while you struggle to build rebuild your fleet that the aforementioned enemy titan ate. (literaly in the case of the Vasari Loyalists)

Loyalist/Rebel groups have some interesting things that set them apart. You'll see Rebel Vasari try to negotiate with other AIs, and form alliances so they can use their abilities to the fullest. At the same time, when you invade the Loyalist Vasari areas, you'll find a dozen burned out husks that used to be planets, and face the terrible idea that there is a mobile fleet focused empire that could be hiding anywhere in the galaxy.

They added a LOT its just hard to find it, and most of it doesn't come into play until late game. That said, they kinda just copy/pasted major parts of Trinity, which you can forgive because Trinity was freaking epic, it just shouldn't have been 60 when it came out.

If you didn't get it over the thanksgiving sale, try to get it at christmas. It really is a lot of fun, the only thing I can't really recomend is multiplayer, because I dont' play it often enough to give it a good critique.

(((Edit: I was wrong with the price. : ( I apoligize. But 40 Dollars is still too much! I'm not made of money! I want it for free damnit. )))

Rebellion was not $60 when it came out. It was $40 with a $10 discount if you already had Trinity.
Other then that I agree with your post Cat. Much of what was added is not readly visable and that leads a lot to say not much was added. As a modder I see tons that have been added/changed to improve game play and I am still finding more.
If I could only choose one I would go for Rebellion. Especially with its discount. But I know that is IMHO.

[Spytrycer]

Rebellion is better i think it has much more functions, and is just harder to play

[Beatty]

Not worth the cost lol
