Supreme Commander Review | 2007 Nuke Simulator 

As of the 11th May 2022 FAF now officaly Supports GOG :)

Fantastic work man, this came together wonderfully.

The best thing about the unit design is that they are not as 1 note as Starcraft 2 units for example. They have small details that are not gamechanging but CAN be very usefull even later on when you moved to a better Tier. For example: The UEF has: - a Tier 2 Combat engineer, which can repair and has a few guns to protect itself, but can not build any structures other than Turrets. Sounds okay, but the true hidden utility is: They have a Radar Jammer. Meaning they show up as multiple units on the enemy radar. - The Tier 1 Frigate also has a radar jammer. - The Tier 1 sub (like all of them, except aeon) has a surface canon to fight over tanks. - A Tier 2 Gunship which can transport small units. You can get Engineers to reclaim to the front easily. Or you could ... Ghetto it up. Speaking of Ghetto: The Ghetto Gunship. This is taking a quirk of the engine and using it to turn a Transporter into a god damn nightmare. If a transporter picks up a Tier 1 light assault bot (the weakest combat unit there is in terms of health), then they point their guns downwards and: Can shoot while in the air. Now consider that a Tier 2 Transport can carry 12 of these. Each with 23 dps. A Gunship has 67 DPS. Tier 3: 250. You just turned your Transport into a tier 3 gunship in terms of damage. (Incredibly squishy tho). Cybrans have: - A tier 1 assault bot, that can assist engineers. - Boats that can walk on land. - Assault walkers which explode in an EMP upon death. - EMP tier 1 mobile artillery. etc. The Aeon has: - A mobile shield generator that can hover. Incredible navi synergy. - A floating Tier 1 Tank. - A Tier 3 assault bot that can also reclaim. Not to mention all the little quirks each experimental has. - The tempest can shoot straight up, if you order it to dive. I once sniped an Ahwassa out the air with that. - The Megalith can walk backwards if you order move commands close to its hind legs, firering while retreating. It can also fire its normal guns AND torpedos at the same time if halfway submerged. You can also build a unit on a downed experimental for insane reclaim. - You can control-K (Self destruction) a Ahwassa as its bomb releases. The bomb and the wreck will both crash in the same spot. - The Fatboy has Airstaging (repairs and refuels aircraft), Torpedos and factory capabilities. It is not just a tank that does the shooty bang bang (Looking at you: FATBOY II from supreme commander 2 ...) And SO much more. Each unit has some amazing gameplay depth that offers flexible approaches to situations. Except for Percis. Percis just go pew and you die.

There is also a random map generator made by the FAF community that works really well, infinite maps to play on !

Everybody keeps hitting on ME3 ending. While I on my 1st run: "They gonna go full Black Sun Cannon, they gonna go full Black Sun Cannon! [30 hours later]... fuckin' called it!"

This video is so underrated!

First game campaign is literally the tutorial The expansion is where the real storyline kicks in

another thing I like about this game is the lack of rock-paper-scissors mechanics. A valuable unit is a valuable unit, there's no easy way to kill it.

Holy S*** this video has ten thousand views now!!! I love all of you wonderful people ❤️ The next review is almost done!!! I need to garner the willpower to finish it out, and then on to more stuff!

your delivery is fantastic and so funny. great video !

This was absolutely amazing. Subscribing in hopes for more of this kind of stuff, really like your style!

Saw you snuck empire earth III in there. The original with the expansion is a certified classic

This was too good tbh liked the editing and recognised the style of comedy on it. I just moved to pc and bought the game and expansion on steam so I cannot wait to do the age old tactic of let's see how many nukes I need to launch all at once to crash my game

" Hehe ... Turn the tide .. " Nailed one beautiful pun there man !! :)))))

OMG. I did LITERALLY fall rolling down on the floor laughing. :D I didn't play much the game (but I did when it came out because I played/knew Total Annihilation). But this very recent (13 years later) review was a blast :D

great video, this is my all time favorite rts

Supcom video? More like subbed lol

UEF has the Land battleship/submarine which doubles as a factory and landing pad. Anti air cruisers which double as long range missile cruisers. Also got a submersible aircraft carrier, capable of building most air units in the game under water. Only faction with 2 direct assault units at T2 one tanky the other nimble with lots of range. Dont sell the UEF short ;)

Murrica cries while looking at the megaliths

Displays sound quality by firing off a battery of mavors, my man! You got yourself a subscriber Edit: "UEF is basic" *laughs in ravager*

I just don't understand how they went from supcom 1 and FA, to supcom 2....

Props on the G.I. Joe Fensler Film reference, too. :D

Great video. Anyone wanting this but unwilling to pay full price, goto steam, add it to wish list, and buy it for £5 when it's on sale. It comes on sale every time steam has a major sale

Make more videos like this one and your channel will shine in no time, good work man

I thought this series was somehow related to the Command and Conquer series before I got here.

Great video. You deserve a lot more views.

Strategic SUBBED excellent video, brother

I had to pause, in appreciation. "Radioactive cautionary tale." While I was making my morning coffee. Lol. Lol.

Now time for Supreme commander 2 xD

make america cry is one hell of a boast to which can only say for now still great vid man

All the Supreme commander games are $2 to $3 dollars right now on steam from now until August 11. Check it out.

Damn you've put more thought and effort into reviewing games for 413 subs than i ever did for the numbers I hit. Consider me 414 and keep it up! Supremely entertaining!

I know SupCom2 isnt liked but I played it first and I still really really like it. I'd argue its a fantastic RTS but a poor SupCom successor, if it was marketed as a spinoff instead of a direct continuation I'm sure it would've received universal praise (as long as we still got an actual SupCom 2)

Supcom got a own community since ages now, called FAF Forever. New units and shit there. Community live and well!

One thing that's missing is that even modern PCs can't really run it sometimes. 8k units on setons makes your i9 cry

The most well spent 20$. Belive me!

I wish i could find that Orbital Wars mod on FAF.

17:00 ah yes the glorious halo reference, great video btw

Amazing video gamer... Make more on strategy games please

How did you make a video this well put together. 10/10 very cool

The uef has fatboys. It's like battleships on land, shielded and mobile factory

This is my first time watching your vid and I just wanna say I might find a hidden gem

one of the best reviews I have ever seen

I prefer Forged alliance out of the short lived trilogy campaign wise, but I love the "one planet at a time" track(main track in any match, campaign or anything match)

Great review!!!

Im so happy faf exists, im 120 games in its amazing rts, chris taylor deserves a shrine alright

SupCom 2 was a disaster solely because of SquareEnix. They have a habit of ruining game franchises now. It's like they're trying to compete with EA. They ruined SupCom, nearly murdered Hitman (unironically), and have slowly destroyed the FF series.

bro. this had me laughing. I like your style. Wanna make a colab? Do you still game on FA?

Loved it great writing! Subbed and liked

This game carries a memory for me. I had a friend who told me about this game so we went out and bought our copies. We played for a bit and then went back to normal life. A month or so later, we had another session - and my friend thought, now we can play PvP. Little did he know that I was a little devious shit with my attacks. I defeated him 3 times within 10 minutes each game while he was expecting an long drawn out fight - hours long. He almost believed that I was cheating. But.. I just knew the map, knew where to build the turrets to slaughter the tech1 units he was trying to spam me with - so he lost game 1. Next he gave up trying to spam me and tried to turtle, so I setup tech 2 artillery and started shelling his infrastructure and he lost. So the third time I agreed to not build artillery - so instead I built mobile stealth units, pushed them to a corner of his base, built a couple of tactical missile launchers there. All he saw was my tech 1 scout air craft fly over, and boom.. his ACU was destroyed by the two tactical missiles hitting it in quick succession. He was SO mad - and I was laughing hysterically the more mad he got.

Planetary annihilation and ashes of the singularity?

Wtf the graphics look pretty good, 7:36 the sea looks no where near as shitty as on this video, try putting the graphics settings on high lol

Unfortunately, I had the xbox version of this game (which was buggy) but I remember specifically spending time to fill one half of the land bridge level with nukes. Also, if I recall, I think Nukes in the game additive with their explosion, so more nukes on one location creates a bigger explosion radius, but I might be wrong.

nice review

while vanila SC2 can be fun, Revamp expansion mod takes it it to a new level essentaily, its SC2, but added mechanics and stuff from 1/FA, recources are also customisable, wich means you can have a similar experience like in 1/FA while i havent played/experienced a lot of SC1/FA myself so i cant tell how similar it is to it but have SC2 lying around, i would recommend giving the mod a try

If you want to play on FAF you will need to own supreme commander forged alliance on Steam, they can't support the gog version do to legal reasons (their unable to confirm you own the game).

Great Video

Visible happiness!

good show old sport

Interesting... What's the difference in *forged alliance?*

Yeaaaaah, planetside rts

The ocean is beautiful if you have the graphics settings on high. I think you had them on medium hence why you see bland oceans.

Pretty sure Seraphim are yellow-enjoyers, nott green

What I like about this game is how all the micromanagement is automated so you can focus on the actual strategy. Also while it is true that you can dodge projectiles it is not like archers v catapults in aoe 2 where a person who is good at unit movement and pays attention will win all fights with no losses. In general in this game the besst army wins, not the one who micros best.

Setoooooon!!!

I like the plot of the game!

Nice review. I liked it. However, your graphic card or graphic setting is shit. Oceans look excellent on my machine. And you forgot to mention the replays. Which is phenomenal!!!

whyd you stop posting!

I give you a pass for FAF. LOL

well, every class is very balanced, unless you build this scathis trash

Absolutely fantastic video man!

“Watered down Gundam suit” *How did I not make that connection*

This is why FAF Supreme Commander exists, and is the dominate version to play.

Capturing every factions engineers then mixing them all together and d daying other people's islands on gentlemen's reef or whatever is actually the spice of life. UEF continentals rule.

*STRATEGIC LAUNCH DETECTED*

OSHA compliant. Bro, your metaphors are 👌👍Samsung XD

Great and funny review, only criticism is that you refer the addon as SC2 but SCFA is much different from SC2. SCFA was more balanced than SC1 and more stable, talking about the CD version without updates. And if you wait for a sale on steam, which happens very often, you can get the gold edition (SC1 and SCFA) for under five bugs. Would like to see a video were you compare SC1/SCFA to SC2. It is not that hard to explain why SCFA has still these player numbers were SC2 has sometimes up to four games. Hope your channel gets bigger, I like your style! Greatings!

Broooooo you forgot the ghetto gunships xD

"Diplomatic solutions" in this game sounds like the "Diplomatic solutions" in Warhammer 40k

Two things I love dearly about SC is 1/ air craft need fuel, and 2/ transport ferry/assist. 1/ When using aircraft (beside Experimentals), you must always be conscious of their fuels as these directly decide how far they can fly away from your factories/assembly areas. Careless management may result in your aircraft reaching an enemy base with zero fuel left, leaving them painfully vulnerable to even T1 AA. There are 2 ways they can refuel: landing on dedicated refuel/repair structures or units (carriers, UEF Fatboys, etc.), or just land on the ground (transports cannot dock on any structure or unit, but can land on the ground OR on water to refuel themselve at rapid paces). Now this is just half of what I wanted to talk about. Because, guess what? When you're about to launch an air attack, you're gonna want to check their fuels. If they landed on an assembly area after leaving the factory, waiting for the moment, then good, they're all fueled up. But what if they were patrolling around your base and now need to attack somewhere faraway? Then some of them, or A LOT of them are gonna running low on fuel halfway to the target. This means you need to tell them to refuel right away. And guess what? Those refueling structures and units can only accommodate limited number of aircraft at one time (which is decided by their physical sizes, which are relatively correlated to their Tech levels). Normally when you're fielding 20+ planes on patrol, just 2 or 3 air staging structures are already enough. But now, unless you want to manually refuel some some of them, even 8 air-staging structures will take a while to refuel all 20+ planes. This is why I LOVE carrier units, and LOVE UEF for having Fatboys and ATLANTIS (which can refuel/repair 150 aircraft at once, or even double that with a bit of micro). And I'm not even talking about the distances yet, which become painfully a big factor on large maps, and what make carriers extremely valuable as mobile air-staging facilities. 2/ oh god that 1/ got so long. But yeah, notice how your land units move awfully slow comparing to air units, and you have AIR UNITS for transportation? You're gonna want that. And guess what? You're not gonna need to manually uploading then unloading 150+ tanks into the battlefield. The transports themselves can automatically pick up units built from the factories (on Assist mode), units moving to or waiting at a Ferry Beacon (on Ferry mode). Or if the transports and tanks are selected, and you place the Transport order on a spot, the transports will automatically pick up the tanks and move them toward that location; any tanks aren't picked up will move toward said location, and the transports will come back to pick them up after dropping the others. Awesome, I know!

Did you have the game in low graphics? I don't remember the water looking like that, even the nuclear explosions you used in this video look weird

Hilarious review of a classic game. From now on if I want to get someone to play this game with me, I'll show them this video.

This is hands down the best RTS that's ever been made and probably ever will be made. The only one that even has a chance is Sanctuary, since it's made by FAF members. We'll see.

3:16 lmao

My best friend and I played the shit out of Supreme Commander 1 back in the day, but now that we are older, we got PC and played FAF.

Great vid! but as I said in my reddit reply the game is on sale right now 80% off on steam : imgur.com/a/ZsaoLqv / store.steampowered.com/app/9420/Supreme_Commander_Forged_Alliance/ 1€99 . really not pricey. and you CANNOT play multiplayer FAF with the GOG version, unfortunately. please add an appendix to your video or add it as an edit with the youtube studio video editor. there are gonna be a lot of pissed of people that find that out the hard way and are forced to repurchase.

Video was very good, but with regard to water, you can see you are using low resolution graphics. Certainly at high the water is beautiful. :)

Based Aeons, what a calculated move for the ages! 6:46

Lovely review! Good pacing and good amount of humour.

Fantastic Video! Funny and informative, everything a good review needs! Keep up the good work.

Ohh I like the PS2 references :)

best video of the month because l understood all your references including PS2 terran = Cybran etc.. good shit

I'm here to point out that the Supreme Commander on GOG which costs $20 is actually a package of both Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance. And in case you guys didn't know, FA is a stand-alone DLC, meaning it can be played without installing the original SC. On Steam, FA only costs around $7. So unless you really want to get a taste of the original SC, I recommend get FA for a lower cost but better gameplay experience + new units and faction. AND then get FAF too to enjoy a *wild* arrange of upgraded features, fixes and mods.

You forgot to mention one important part about this game Soundtrack (the SC1, not FA, it sucks) Sometimes i feel like gods of RTS looking at me playing and they play the perfect song for my final attack Also, how freaking HUUUGEEE everything in this game is. Galactic colossus is almost 300m tall For not metric friends, its almost as tall as Eiffel tower is And the reason why the oceans looked bad is probably because you played at medium graphic settings

Yeeah.. GOG.. and the FAF people decided to connect with Steam. Right now (and it seem like for a very very long time) there is no way to get anything unlocked/ redeemed on Steam that was bought on GOG, and the FAF people also don't give a toss about GOG.. so if you got the game form there.. guess who's not playing on FAF. At the "beginning" even having the Steam client installed was pushing it. I don't buy Steam stuff on principle. The moment FAF required me to have the game on my Steam account, that client got immediately uninstalled. No Steam will corrupt my machine. It's literal cancer.

Good Job !

this review was entertaining i hope you will do more reviews, i would recommend warlords 3 battlecry (if you are fan of warcraft) if not there is this paraworld which is just dino rts (it is as badass as it sounds)

good video.great man.

I like the story :( (1 and FA)

Great video. But forged alliance wasn’t an expansion pack. It was a standalone game.
