Ya well i should know not to get excited over things and this is no exception, as it looks cool in the trailer, but turned out to be nichsogud
Bloody hell. What I mean is, it's an arena based game. So no alternative styles or endings or anything to spicen the game up. Just the zero gravity in a few maps.Xzi said:It gets repetitive after a while? That's like saying water is wet. What game doesn't get repetitive when you play it repetitively for a long period of time?ethaninja said:
This is what I've wanted for a while. Zero-G (technically micro-G, but let's not get picky) FPS whose designers know physics. Hallelujah! Go look at that silent running video on the front page. Notice that when you fire without the jetpack to compensate, you go flying off into the sunset.
Now if only my PC wasn't 5 years old.

It's not actually all that good.
Gameplay is alright and the way you navigate and use the terrain is pretty intuitive, but it's overly simplistic and doesn't leave you a lot of options.
Plus, it's damn laggy.
Not latency-wise, but because the game requires a hefty rig to play.
Not to say your rig isn't enough, but you often see other players with latency under 70ms popping all over the place because their computers are choking themselves to death.

Buh. I can play KOTOR on my vista pc. What's stopping you guys? Don't even need DOS box.
Also: What the hell is wrong with all of you? The entire first page is bashing the OP for no reason other than a poor choice of words. Half the posts after that simply say "Never heard of it" and nothing else. Half again don't contribute anything at all, and the rest are just bowls of fire!
As for my opinion: I saw this when it first came out and I was very interested in it. The system requirements were steep at the time but now, not so much. Any complaint around operating system or DirectX is just a sign people need to get with the times. The hardware issue I can understand, since money is scarce. Overall it looks like it could be a lot of fun, but my slow connection forbids me from getting the game, as it's download only. Would if I could, though.
See? A proper post! Took me all of 5 minutes. Is it really that hard?

Precisely, he asked why people aren't getting exited about it. It's not a simple yes/no question as many seem to think. If I apply it to something else it seems stupid:LordNue said:
"Why haven't you heard of ColdPlay?"
"Never heard of them."
"Yeah but why?"
"Never heard of them."
See? That's what I'm annoyed about in that respect. If someone asks a question you know nothing about, you don't pitch in by saying you know nothing about it, you just don't comment.
Alright, I'm done crying now.
