News Comments > No Ghostbusters PC Multiplayer
20. Re: No Ghostbusters PC Multiplayer Jun 14, 2009, 18:02 JaguarUSF
 
Wow. This flies in the face of every article I've read in about it:
"featuring multiplayer footage from the PS3/360/PC version of the game".
Now we know why the game is only $30.

Networking issues aside (of which I have had none with really fast connections using the latest patch), the game is still really fun.

Here's what I thought:

In retrospect, I might have been a little harsh on it. Maybe a point higher.

There's no reason to boycott a game that nobody is buying anyway. Doesn't really need to be said, but here's my review from three months ago:

They get an AP story for a damn fake protest?!?

EA acquired the AP in a hostile takeover late last year.

Good for them. There needs to be more concentrated digital distribution for Mac. Justin Long wants to get his game on, too!

Contrast this with the way CD Projekt is treating their 'Witcher' customers

Here's the difference:
Left 4 Dead: console game.
The Witcher: PC game.

Enough said.

At least when we get a fighting game on the PC, it's a good one.

Review of Rome (although, in hindsight, I rated it a point or two too high).

News Comments > Left Behind Sequel Next Month
3. Re: Left Behind Sequel Next Month May 20, 2009, 12:02 JaguarUSF
 
"Misinformation campaign," that's what they are blaming it on? My ass. Left Behind was a crappy RTS. Read for yourself.
I mean, look at all the bad things I list about it:
Difficult and frustrating until you discover pray-spamming (and even then the game does not play fair), no skirmish games against the AI (mostly due to the lack of a competent computer opponent), first few missions are boring with lots of running from location to location, tons of micromanagement, outdated graphics, horrible voice acting, New York City setting becomes repetitive quickly, unit pathfinding needs work, friendly units often block other friendly units, game does not graphically differentiate between primary and secondary objective locations, units have unrealistically small sight ranges, oodles of in-game advertising
Do I once mention the religious aspects of the game? No.

Weird, because Atari was Infogrames, a French publishing company that simply bought the rights to the name. I guess they were slowly pulling out of Europe all together.

Is that true?

Yes. You can use half of them, as described here in my review:

I think I almost understand what I was trying to say about the techs.

News Comments > Spaceships Ahoy - Tomorrow War
4. Re: Spaceships Ahoy - Tomorrow War May 6, 2009, 12:23 JaguarUSF
 
Is the game completely linear, or is there some freedom in the mission structure? What kinds of things does the game let you do? I have just started playing it and I am stuck in the tutorial (ha!) as are a lot of people, gauging from the message boards.
It seems the Gamer's Gate version is identical to the bugged release version: a lot of audio files are missing and translation errors abound.

I want to see what the single-player game is all about

It's the multiplayer game with bots. That's all.
