What to buy? SupCom or Sins?

Which two of these strategy games should I get. Supreme Commander Gold or Sins of a Solar Empire? Also can you link a Boxed Sins copy to Stardock's DD service? Both I can find for 30 USD online, boxed.

Wait sins doesn't have single player campaign? I was seriously thinking about picking this up, but I'm new to RTS and would get slaughtered in a mp only game. Any reccomendations. The only RTS I've really put time into is BattleForge and Company of Heroes. What should be next?

It has single player maps. Its just a huge, grand playboard with no story as of now, in singleplayer.

Ugh. I thought it'd have some kind of grand Sci Fi epic plot. Damn, that seriously took away most of the interest I had in it.

Try Starcraft

definitely supreme commander

I don't get all the people here saying Sins is a long game. If you play with 8-10 players on hard then yeah the game is going to take quite a few hours to beat. 2 or 4 players and the game is generally over in an hour or so especially with locked teams on.

As for what game, I'd say get both if possible. Both have been the pinnicle of RTS gaming the last few years and will offer you tons of great gaming over quite a few hours. If only one is an option, well are you more into building up for one big battle which is Sup Com or are you more interested in managing an actual Empire and taking over planets and such because that's the real big difference between the two.

It's kind of comparable to the Total War games, except instead of taking over and developing cities you're taking over and developing planets and asteroids. It's not nearly as fun as the Total War games and your own AI is good enough that micromanagement is not really necessary, unlike in the Total War games where you could epicly win outmatched battles by using tactics.

Sins is a fun game , I just installed and played for the first time a few days ago, and went almost 10 hours straight playing the game. However I think it has been grossly overrated on gamespot. I doubt I will play the game much more after that initial first day where I spent the whole day on it.

Both are Fantastic RTS games,

however like said before it all depends on what you want, You want Fleets of Thousands in Space or in Ground;Naval;Air Forces?

I'd recommend getting both if able to be honest.

I love both Sins and SupCom, A single match Can Last a Long ass time trust me, I've had a skirmish Match that lasted 7½ hours of play time in Sins, 5 in SupCom.(These matches spanding over a few days not at one time) that's more play time than some full games.:lol:

If you have the patience of a three year old, & things going Ka-Boom! every few seconds you'll most likely wont like these games.:P

Supreme Commander atm :D

I prefer Sins.

Both great games but imo sins is better. granded even a 4player skirmish map can take you 5-6 hours to finish but you never get bored. The amount of micromanagement, spectacular hundreds or even thousands spaceships battles, great graphics . Only downside is lack of campaign but even a skirmish single player map can keep you occupied 5-6 hours easily.

Sup Com for quicker action, Sins if you have all day.

The way I look at it, in SupCom you have battles, and in Sins skirmishes you wage war. The scale of the gameplay in Sins is just incredible. Only bad thing is that skirmishes can last well over 6 hours possibly a whole day.

I like SIns a lot better Supcom's AI is retarded, and it takes like a century for your units to get into battle formation, Sins I like A LOT better far more fun when playing with friends. Though the longer games are tons of fun great for the summer when you have loads of time. SupCom I hate for some reason...

Though I loved Tiberium wars

I love supcom, i like the time it takes to advance in the game and it's difficulty, Great Game.

Supcom's AI is retardedShade340

Sins definitly.

SupCom was nice, but it's as generic as humanly possible in every way

Sins
