Let me know when the campaigns are added - then I'll buy the original and the expansion, or the "gold edition" containing both. Until then, I don't do multiplayer and skirmish gets boring quickly.

I think the omission of a single player campaign was a blunder. It is listed under "cons" in almost every review I've read so far.

Single player is still more common than most editors at gaming magazines and online gaming sites may believe.

I find it curious that the people opposed to a single player campaign do so on the basis of the fact that they don't play the campaigns anyway. I guess the people who don't play multiplayer should object to the inclusion of multiplayer in the game. I know this is repeating what chrizzle said above, but he's dead on - why can't we have both.

Note that most of the major game rankings and reviews either deducted for lack of a campaign or at least mentioned it in their negative comments on the game. The game is apparently rated well and selling well, but it's a shame - it appears the game may have been even more highly rated and would have even better sales with the inclusion of a single player campaign.

My biggest regret is that these space themed strategy games are few and far between. You have quite a wait to get a good one, and then they leave out the campaign.

I am in the same boat,sir.

Count me IN!

To the campaign naysayers: All the Greatest RTS Games have CAMPAIGNS to complete their legacy!

This RTS has a great story behind it, lots to build on!

I shall await...

Ironclad is planning a campaign for the expansion.. and actually has been before the game's release

yo

i think itd kickass if they stucka campaign in there, its great as is, but with a campaign it will be better

You are not rare breed. In fact your are majority of players. Most of players do not play multiplayer, Stardock mentioned this several times (that's why they did not make multiplayer in Givc2)

I'm also a single player player because I don't play this enough to get competitive in multiplayer but I can live without a campaign personally. It may well add a new experience but the things I'd most like to see is extra races, add events, expand the diplomacy, extra planet types, moons, configurable ships etc.
Expanding the scope of the game and the options available to our strategy will bring me much more enjoyment than a story driven campaign. That being said I'd still get enjoyment if that was a main feature of an expansion.

id love to have a single player campaign. it would be hard to pull off but if they could do it right it would be awesome. ideally i would like a campaign that expands the game world instead of warping you to another map. a good model of what im thinking of would be fire emblem 4. you play on different maps but you home base is the same for alot of the first half. i didn't like the galciv campaigns cause you had to do alot of the same thing over and over again.

Me personally, I really want a campaign. Currently, this game seems kinda anchorless to me. There's a story about why everyone is fighting, but not much more than that. I want more story than that opening cutscene. I want to know the triumphs, losses, emotions that a great story can provide. Multiplayer only Starcraft would suck wouldn't it? I mean, with Fenix, Tassadar, Raynor, Kerrigan, Starcraft had a moving, emotional story that immersed you, and greatly improved the game by making you feel each faction, even in multiplayer. Sins would be truly great if it had a campaign with unique heroes who you really want to know more about and care about. That would really add immersion and the whole "fate of the galaxy" thing the devs say Sins is supposed to have.

I have to sign this petition also,when i first got this game about a year ago i was disapointed to find there wasnt a campain   . The game over all is ok but i havent played SINS in a long while cause of no campain,it got boring after a while.

There is a story/history for each race but no campain to play thru,i really wish there was a campain.  


i am glad to hear that they are working on some campains .

Ironclad are making an Expansion pack for the game as we speak with a Campaign so guys don't worry.


For the people who think this campaign is a waste, it wont be in this expansion pack because the base game is already there so much more time for campaign and adding cool stuff in for skirmish as well!

I am a single player gamer too, but I would rather see Ironclad improve the single player sandbox mode then a campaign. When I think of great single player games MOO/MOO2, Civilization(s) , and the Total War series immediately come to mind. None of these games had a campaign but they all had compelling single player sandbox modes. Most of these have a long term game appeal in that you still find yourself firing up a game years later just to reminisce the fun times you had playing such games.


With the RTS games I have played once I completed the campaign I found little reason to continue playing those games. Not that I don't appreciate a great stoyline it's just that once I seen the conclusion of the story the gameplay usually wasn't strong enough to keep me interested in the game long term.
