Is this game as good as "StarCraft 2"?

[DjSharperimage]

I'm thinking about buying this game.
Is it as good as StarCraft 2?

[Parane]

The game isn't finished and is not played the same way as Starcraft 2. You'd have to experience it yourself to tell the difference.

[Qwerty Drive]

To me it is more of a Supreme Commander vs Sins of a Solar Empire type game

[SGF]

there 2 differnt RTS games

[Serikos]

if you enjoy spamming units to the degree of insanity then this is the game for you, and yes throwing the same units at the enemy over and over can yield different results!!!

[unsubstantiation]

its very different, specifically not nearly as polished as starcraft. imagine starcraft in early alpha.

[Chris P. Bacon]

Starcraft 2 was good?

[FIRE DO CLUBE PINGUIM]

this is more like supcom and TA than starcraft. they are 2 totally different kinds of games.

[Petah]

this game is fun but sc2 is much more polished

[Yanumi]

SC2 is a finished game that has UNIT CAP, small maps and units with 100 different abilities
Planetary Annihilation: NO UNIT CAP, playing in entire planets, diferent type uf units without abilities just select units and send them to death without worrying about when to use an ability, it has nukes and you can crash small and medium planets

exactly. PA is the complete opposite of SC2. Multitasking wise they are similar because you have to do a lot of stuff simultaneously. PA is more about (very very) big battles across multiple planets while in SC2 you build 3 troops and can win if you have the right timing.

Like Petah said, Starcraft II is more polished, being patched for years and made by a huge developer, but this game is just so much more fun. You can't smash entire planets into each other in Starcraft.

More fun, much more creative and ambitious. I love RTS and played through the SC2 campaigns, but I don't find the game entertaining enough to keep playing.

PA is basically TA crossed with Super Mario Galaxy. Not quite as polished as Kerrigan's butt armour though.

The games have basically nothing in common. Sc2 is micro intensive while this game has basically no micro. There aren't any special abilities so you won't need to pay much attention to any 1000 unit spams you send off to fight. The only similarity is both being rts games.

I wouldn't call that 'less polished.'

[Bait]

I bought I, still early acces, buggy, but I like it. Though I am not totally unfamiliar with rts, I have no real skill. Multiplayer AI is still hard for me on normal difficulty.

I guess I suck.
Continueing to skill up.

OMG you can do that in this game?! No freaking joke... I've always wanted to play an RTS where spam can work pretty well but randomly. I love having massive armies of crappy, small units that vastly outnumber my enemy xD
