Your translation skills suck. While I am not afraid to go it alone, I also appreciate the value of good teamwork. MO requires teamwork, imo. I have tried quite a few variants within the allowable framework (e.g. hardpoint types (beam, missile, etc)., and have tried scout, medium, heavy, and assault classes. Each one caters to a different playstyle, as I would expect.
I'm simply no idea where the whole "armor protects core components" comment came from, or the "3 shots" schtick. I am not looking for instant gratification. I am looking for a game that requires teamwork and has the components that made the Battletech universe so interesting to me. Giant Battlemechs that tear the place apart using weapons that would make a modern tank look like a childs toy. Many games have guns and killing; I want one that has a 'mech feel. |

| I don't think the game is solid or fun at this point. My take is that some are so invested in seeing a successful mech game that they are willing to dismiss obvious and glaring problems. That is just my opinion. The graphics, the 'mech set up, the maps, the teams, the weapons, everything I see needs major tweaking. There is some inherent fun in knowing you are blowing some nameless face on the other side of an internet connection up, but beyond that MO isn't even as smooth or playable as some of the most basic FPS shooters. I don't get the sense that I am in a 75+ ton machine of death, striding over the battlefield to kill and be killed. I want to feel like those missiles are going to blow some shit up, or my PPC is going to make you think twice about popping over that ridge. |

| I haven't played a good space strategy game for some time. Tried quite a few, too. I really like the Sins series. Anyone got any suggestions for games that are relatively new? No Homeworld plugs, please! (And where btw, is HW 3?) |

| Got to agree with the previous poster. Someone needs more hookers and blow. This is a retread of a game that wasn't good to begin with. First off, fix the fucking lighting. Second, make it fun. Third, add something worth paying for. Fourth, support mods and add-ons. Fifth, bring back the damned grappling hook. Sixth, give it a $10 price point. Then I'll buy it. Until then, Doom is dead. |

MW 3 is pretty solid. I even thought the SP campaign was ok. Just getting tired of shooters. Never thought I'd say that, but there it is. I really wish they make some more old-school (read: Red Alert, Total Annihiliation, Generals, etc.) RTS games instead of those new-fangled 3rd person League of Legends games.
What's Derek Smart been up to? Haven't seen him around for some time. He always got the fires burning. Going to have to google... |

| I checked the deal out. At first blush, seems like a good deal for a "pay your own price" schtick. Then I saw that you have to be one of the top contributors (e.g. pay the most) to get a shot at getting D2: Developer's Cut. Thought it might be worth a shot since you can fly as a dragon. The "maybe" aspect of it sucks though. |

| Not going to even consider this until a lot of reviews come out and suggest it isn't the steaming pile of shit Elemental was. Still haven't got that one fixed and here they are peddling what looks to be the same name with a decent sized patch and new cover art. Shame on you, Stardock. |

Sadly, the demo was buggy as hell for me. Locked up right from the get go when trying to reconfigure the default key bindings (and some of them seem really, really retarded in the first place). Then locked up with an "unhandled exception" when I tried to launch the campaign (the only option available in the demo). I haven't seen an unhandled exception since Win98, so it took me back to the day. Not what I want in a new game, however...
I still want this to not suck, so I will follow it for a while. Pick it up on Steam when it has been patched a few times and goes on sale for under $20. I think the price will be the easy part, judging from the reviews and user feedback I've seen on the boards. |

Hostile Waters: Anteaus Rising has come and gone on GOG.com. I bought it a couple of years back. Apparently the rights slipped into some sort of digital fugue so they had to stop selling it. My understanding, based on this and other games on GOG that have had the same thing happen, is that they are pretty much lost forever unless the rights are re-acquired at considerable cost.
As far as Carrier Command goes, reviews and posts are tormentingi t mercilessly. Hopefull somewhere down the line BIS will get their shit together and fix it. |

| Awesome improvement to an already good game. Physics rock. That slow bastard that sits in the back, waiting for his entire team to die before he does anything? Push his fat, lazy ass over the cliff! Good times. |

| I would like to see most of the interface and what-not migrate to Magic Online. Duels has been pretty solid and is fairly easy to navigate, whereas Magic Online has pretty much been a huge dissapointment and sucks balls. |

| The new Star Wars game has generated no enthusiasm on my part. I don't understand why they can't make a SW game worth a damn for the past 15 years. Ok, I will generously donate my time, for a small retainer, to come down to the ranch and tell you which game to make that will not suck. |

| Considering this is a grognard-type of game, the graphics look pretty damned good. I always like the idea of the Combat Mission games, but I've bought each one so far and just can't seem to get into them. I will probably reinforce this opinion when this one goes on sale. Early forum posters seem to be pretty positive though. |

| After 30 minutes or so of play, I agree that it feels like a Counter-Strike clone. If you like CS, I would think you will like this. Clearly needs some tweaks (the menus are a bit slow, the interface isn't very intuitive), but overall seemed fun for a free-to-play FPS. |

| I played PS for quite some time. Loved the battles, upgrades, etc. Hopefully PS2 will recapture the fun. I joined the twitter brigade, but haven't received squat. I can wait until the open beta though, as I have MWO, WoT, and now Bullet Run to keep me entertained for a bit. |

And from out of nowhere comes....
Downloading the client now. Will have to see how it plays. Gave me a lackluster impression already because everything I tried to find out about on the web site was a bad link (e.g. info on the Platinum membership- what benefits do you get & does it work with other Station games, etc?). |
