There's simply only so many times I can mine resources to fuel my ship to fly to another planet to mine recourses to fuel my ship to fly to another planet to mine resources to fuel my ship to fly to another planet to mine recourses to fuel my ship to fly to another planet to.. you get it.
@thorstein I've payed for it, played it, and even with multiplayer this game is just a bad game. A great procedurally generated tech demo, maybe.
My $60 dollars was thanks enough. It's an okay game, and I'll admit I loved it the first day. Until I realized it was 18 quintillion planets wide and only an inch deep. I try my best to love a game, even bad ones, because I don't want to admit to myself I wasted my money. So it takes a whole lot for me to be disappointed, and this game is by far the biggest disappointment I can ever recall.

Sweet Jesus. My mission is no longer to get to the center of the galaxy for Nicolas Cage is the center of mine. I must find the Nicolas Cage system at all costs.
@darth72 been playing a few hours now and think I don't think it's does. The space physics aren't realistic at all either, but it's really not bothersome. The one thing I can say about this game, other than it's fun, is that it feels very smart. A very smart team made a very smart game here.
@InMyOpinion Totally agree. I can't remember any game this gen so far that gave me the feeling you described. After repairing the ship and seeing how huge that planet was, leaving it was a total "wow" moment.
"It's like WW1 according to Michael Bay and Zack Snyder."
LOL pretty spot on there. Given tanks back then could go no more than 5mph and were unreliable to the point they would've broken down 20 times during filming of the trailer.
Still don't agree with women being soldiers in battles they weren't in, but still, this depiction of WW1 is WW1 on action movie steroids.
Hopefully they'll make the investment soon. I just bought the all the game of thrones episodes for the wife the other night, watched her play episode one and was pretty put off by how nothing has apparently changed with the engine since the Jurassic Park game. Hell, if it works, what do I know lol.
By God a WW1 setting would be boring. Anyone who knows an incling about the time period would know that it's just not a good setting for an FPS war game.
In your brief time online, what you experienced is a rarity. From what I've personally encountered, practically any instance a woman online being harassed had nothing to do with the woman insinuating it. It has been the complete opposite of your experience every single time, 100% of the time.
Once, I even had my girlfriend plug in her mic while she played CoD:AW. Not even 5 minutes after simply saying a curse word, my account had 3 messages. It doesn't take so much as...
That was really explanatory and well written. Much more educated on that topic now. Still, as it stands, I would have appreciated a concrete conclusion to at least some of the sub plots. Even at that it was so hard to feel that loss they tried so hard to portray.
It felt like, "hey remember that army you built in Peace walker? Well here is Ground Zeroes where most of them are murdered. Now here is TPP, be mad about that Ground Zeroes thing, okay?"
Right there with you man. Especially playing since the original MGS. People may have complained that MGS4 was too full of fan service, but this one was almost completely devoid of it.
This whole article makes me cringe.
All I can say is... priorities. Some folks need to reevaluate them. God help grown men who feel so strongly about a video game company.
Totally agreed with your statement about the media fueling these sorts of things. To be honest it didn't really cross my mind until you pointed it out and in hindsight, that's pretty true. If traffic pays the bills, then to each their own I guess.
And that didn't sound weird at all. I just wanted to get a personal opinion across that even if much of our lives revolve around video games, that perhaps we shouldn't form an entire identity around actually playing...
Sure, you are all of course entitled to your opinion. I would just argue on the same basis that video game publishers are also not in the business of holding consumers at gun point, telling them to purchase the next big thing, leaving their consumers feeling screwed like so many of them proclaim.
Also, yes I would have taken a guess that the poll was comprised of an unusual amount of video game enthusiasts as people being kicked out of their homes probably had more to worry ...
I kid you not, I offered this game to a friend for free and he said no. I literally couldn't give this game away.
