Grade this game from 1 to 10

[Krogen]

Haven't played it yet, but I think that's what I will give it after playing. I'll get this game today and I'll post a new message in a couple of days with a new score.

[1024]

It's a great game, hands down. THe only problem is, the devs released the game before it was done. IT seems like they're making everyone pay for beta right now...:rolleyes:


But nevertheless, this game kicks ass :rock:

[Strygun]

I'm going to give it a 9 as opposed to a 10 only because there are still a few bugs to be worked out. I think the game is a great one; infact, I'd rate it higher than EQ. The gameply, design, and concept is amazing and I congratulate the dev team on it.

However; there are things about the game that need to be worked on. Right now there is a large crash bug which I'm sure is being fixed as I type this, but there are also a few other minor things that could be added/removed to make gameply more exciting. Of course, with any game anyone plays, everyone will have their own opinion. What I want in/out may not be what the devs want, and I just have to live with that.

My .02 cents...


(haha this turned into a thread where I inadvertantly took out my anger at all the whiners on the official forums.. go me :groovy: )

[MrVulcan]

9, would be 10, but still crash from time to time, and there is still a lack of deabth in some areas (those problems should go away with time though)

So, my guess in about 4 months it will be a 10, for now, its just a 9 ;)

[Dantiel]

A game that locks your entire computer gets a gd 1 rating from me.

[�io]

8 right now to do bugs. In a few weeks(hopefully) it will be pretty stable and shit so it will be a 9-9�. :)

[Lise]

I'd give it an 8. Like a friend of mine pointed out, it's got a few problems with things like base variety and reasons for fighting far from bases (my squad went on an AMS chase earlier today, it was COOL ^_^ ) and we've got the CTD issues... but the basic gameplay is good stuff. I'll be playing for a while yet, I bet.

[IDgaf]

5.

Am reticent to give it more because I spend a lot of time thinking 'they should do this' instead of 'bloody hell, that was good!'.

Well a lot of the things people think up have balance flaws in them. Post up your ideas, im sure someone will point out someting wrong with them, its weird that way

Is that a technical term, Dio? :D :lol:

[Krogen]

BUMP

[Doppler]

on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 implies perfection which no game willl ever reach in suplicity, elegance design stability, and replay value.

[RUEN]

what about Shining Force II? :brow:

[IDgaf]

A more accurate representation of what I think would be 'why don't they'...

give incentive to defend

reward people to fight together

give incentive to fight outside of bases

reduce COF

make grenades kill people

change design of bases


...essentially what everyone is asking about.

[1024]

You have to give the devs some time. They hear all the requests, which some have bugs built into them(for instance if nade's kileld people the punisher would own everyone), but they are doing other things as well. For instance, this "lock up" issue: im sure the devs are owrkign on this as wetalk(err...type:rolleyes: ).

Jut give the devs some time to work, they can only do so much at once.

[BlakkyZ8]

I like the CoF... None of those damn "1337 5n1p3r5" that take advantage of pixel to pixel aim.:cool:

[IDgaf]

Oh, of course. I realised if nades actually killed people it would drastically alter gameplay.

It's just I'm used to BF1942 where, goddammit, a nade is a NADE. What's even more infuriating is that it takes three rockets - can't remember which weapon from though - to kill an infantryman.

Madness. None of the weapons feel like they have any punch - apart from the TR burster boom boom boom - and the COF makes it even worse. Gak.

[Lise]

What's even more infuriating is that it takes three rockets - can't remember which weapon from though - to kill an infantryman.

You mean from the Rocklet launcher? Well gee, I'm sorry your rocket launcher isn't a god-mode weapon that kills in one hit.

And grenades do PLENTY of damage. Remember we're all wearing powered armor of some stripe or another here - a single grenade shouldn't own someone immediately. (Though it sounds like you're used to BF1942 where EVERYTHING kills in a few hits - that's how it'd work back in 1942, but this situation is a bit different.)

You're right Lise.

[Krogen]

Anyway, why did some people give this game 1? (Which is the lowest possible score?)

[IDgaf]

Here we are... *checks in manual*, yep the rocklet launcher. It's not my rocklet launcher, it's our rocklet launcher. Common pool.

Perhaps one of my problems with nades is that, apart from death, normal players don't get any indication that the nades, apart from plasma, are doing damage.

Futuristic the setting might be, but I still think that nades should do more to people, at least visually - have the enemy knocked back a bit for example. Reward the player for what they do. Make them feel they're making a difference.

(Yes, I realise this is an MMO and mechanic constraints apply.)

The games I'm used to are BF1942 and CS so that will give you some indication of what would make the game better for me.

[Krogen]

...BUMP...

What the falshing red screen isn't enough indication?

[IDgaf]

No. I want them to jerk around like badly made puppets.

[TekDragon]

Where is the "This is a BETA and not yet a game, therefore should not be rated" option?

Bleh, how could so many people give this game a high score? Besides the fact that a releatively large amount of people cant even play the game, this game is uninspired.

50$ plus 150$ a year for a game with less inspiration, base gameplay, and content then Tribes 2 or HalfLife is pathetic.

I bet the same people that gave this game a 9 or a 10 are the same ones who play Asherons Call 2. Suckers for good graphics and dont care how much they are getting screwed up the ass for content (or lack there-of).

The max options is 10. I didn't want to make like 6 choices. (1-5 grading scale). And, anyway, why do you play this game since you hate it so much? (That's what I realized after reading your post)

[TekDragon]

Im not playing it. Im one of the "relatively large percentage" of people who cant even get the damn game to work. I get into the game, take 3 steps, and my computer hardlocks.

Tech support acknoweldged the problem was with their coding but they had no ETA on when it would be fixed.

Otherwise i played a bit over at my nephews.

Why do i post here? Because i think this game had the potential to be really great. Instead the development team gave us a 1/3 finished game with uninspired content and pretty graphics at a top of the chart price.

Im hoping that in 5-6 months this game will actually be worth 13$ a month. Right now its worth nothing. Its a beta.

[Incompetent]

Bleh, how could so many people give this game a high score? Because the world is not made up of a bunch of clones of you, some people prefer to point and click or spend hours doing math to figure out the best equipment loadout, and some people like to play a game that requires skill on many different levels.

edit: and stfu with this content bullshit, more stuff does not magically equal better

Yes, it has bugs, what games dont when they 1st come out? What mmos have not had MAJOR server issues when they 1st come out?

For the 1st game of its type EVER, I say it is rather inspired

HalfLife had more content????
Im sorry dude, but I could never hot drop from my skeeter after being shot down by an AA max, to hop into a vanguard that is going towards the base, to run out and storm the CC with my jackhammer.

Sorry dude, but that comment you made is just silly :p

Nope, never liked Asherons Call 2, did like EQ some, but I am more of a stragity gamer, C&C Generals, Warcraft3, and other games I love are UT, UT2003, Tetris, etc

This game lets me have my stragity and fps in 1, cant beat that.

[TekDragon]

Mr. Vulcan i agree with your points. I just feel the game should have MUCH MORE for charging so much. I feel the game is like an infant. Go to the "What do you want in PS" thread to see how others (and I) feel about what this game should have.

On a side note..

This game lets me have my stragity and fps in 1, cant beat that.

That has got to be the first time ive ever seen you mispell a word. The world must be coming to an end. Lets all join hands and pray that Led doesnt see that. Least you didnt say gernade ;)

[Edit]

Yes, it has bugs, what games dont when they 1st come out? What mmos have not had MAJOR server issues when they 1st come out?

Actually im not even bothered by the server issues. Im bothered by the fact that this game is almost totally incompatable with one of the most popular video cards out there.

[Hamma]

easy now w/flames :P

[MrVulcan]

no problem hamma, didnt mean any of that to be a flame, sorry if it seamed like one.

Anyway TekDragon, ya this game s still very much in its infant stage IMO as well, and I would love to see some more things put in, but I also feel that there is a lot already in this game and that even as an infant game it is very good. But yes, I think that a bit more ofr the cost would be nice.

Oh, and I am very bad at spelling, I just norm send posts/emails/etc through MS Word b4 I post them, this time I was lazy ;)

[TekDragon]

*points to Incompetent's post*

I think Hamma was referring to that post. Your reply was civil.

*sigh* All i want.. ALL I FRIGGIN WANT.. is for the damn game to be compatible with Radeon9700 Pro. If that would happen i would never again complain about anything in PS.

[MrVulcan]

*hmmm I think you may be right about that, but I like covering my back side just incase ya know ;) *

:lol: True, but Radon has had problems with more games than I can count (and as being a vulcan, I can count very high ;) )

That is why I went with the Geforce 4 4600 :p

But yes, it SHOULD work with cards like the 9700, I dont know what is so hard about getting the code to work with it, but somehting had to be odd about it....... Radon makes good cards, when they work with the games, they work very very well, and on paper better than anything else out there, but there is just somehting about them that dosnt click sometimes....

I hope that they get it working on those cards, but I have no idea if they ever will....

[Hydr0c1d3]

For the people who have played AO, Does this game relate to that a lot or no? I could never get into AO but I have been waiting months for PS to come out and seems better to me. Thanks alot.
