I just think they failed to capture the essence of STO - exploring and discovering new peoples. This game just can't deliver the feel of ST and I'm majorly disappointed by that.
It was a very disappointing patch.
The art reminds me a bit of FFXIV. Wonder what the game is going to be.
Very exciting stuff! It's going to have a new fishing system, new mining system, a new new player experience and some other tweaks, as well as whatever the players in Tale 4 are voting for!
Let's take the 1up article, where he scores it a D. He says levels and stats are absent. Uh what? Did he even PLAY the game? There's several tiers of stats and levels.
I think Metacritic is low. I know it's an average, but I have to question a lot of the reviews. It takes a pretty powerful machine to get the real experience. I know for sure I've already read a couple of reviews where they talk about some issues that are non issues if your computer can actually run the game.
The game has its flaws, to be sure, but 62% does not say 'this game is a totally fun experience' and it most definitely is.
I had a completely different experience with the driving in the game. Makes me wonder if the author's machine can handle the driving. Tiny sports cars feel very fast and handle very well for me.
When I read the forums part, I had my concerns. Good highlight of the issues Blizzard is creating with this concept. I have no idea WHAT they are thinking or how this got by all the smart folks who work there.
I'll add it to the news post on the site, but here's the Technical Specifications
Minimum System Requirements
• Win XP SP3
• 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor
• 2 GB of System RAM
• NVIDIA 7000-series or ATI Radeon X1900 Video Card
• 2 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
• DirectX 9.0c
Recommended System Requirements
• Win XP SP3 / Vista / Windows 7
• 2.4+ GHz Dual Core Processor
• 4+ GB ...
Yeah. It's a beast for sure. Even though the required specs say only 2 MB ram, I'd say you really need at least 4 MB and a very high end graphics card.
But if you have that, this game is amazing.
It's actually a lot of fun. But other than being able to run people over with cars, it really has little similarity to GTA, so we'll see what people say about that when they start playing it. I had a blast during the demo though and I can't wait to get into the beta.
Anything less than 7 is not playable to me. That leaves me 6 points of bad games, so it's just a matter of scale when it comes to bad, and yes there needs to be 6 points to describe variety in bad games.
