Somewhat true, but the download link that dude posted not available and questionable as well, hosted from unknown Russian sites, plus a headache to figure it all out.... I rather get it from GOG and be worry free that i aint got a root kit installed

News Comments > John Romero's Shooter Plans
3. Re: John Romero's Shooter Plans Apr 5, 2012, 20:42 Closed Betas
 
bitches impossible as no one but 9yo's will play it. Another developer who is clueless, FPS's still trying to be MMO's and MMO's still trying to be FPS's. Its a sad joke to see developers so clueless and feeling they have to be something else to sell.....

Its too simplistic.. The game requires, progressive and interesting statistics, and goals to win, moreso as a part of a team...

un-coordinated 9year olds want to sit in a corner and act like they are improving their game with upgrades and fake stats.... So why not beat the middle man and just include a aim bot for them and call it a day?

before pissing your money away on another EA beta scam, just remember, you might get closed beta access perhaps 2 days before the release.

Here's the truth from a real old school developer. If it aint full time open, and if it ain't the full game your testing/playing.. It AINT beta.

Bah, kickstarts IMO, are probably already funded projects just sucking free cash off desperate kids... Industry is at an all time low.

Don't confuse "World of Planes" with "World of Warplanes" (from makers of World of Tanks), to separate titles, I would reckon the title of this might mean an upcoming name change.. War Thunder might be the new name? Just a guess.

Very excited to hear this.. Game was a bugged out piece of trash that did nothing but rip me and piss me off... I applaud them not getting paid a extra dime.. They don't deserve it. They didnt deserve half of what they got from the straight payment either.

Don't fall victim to this beta crap any longer.. Have we not been abused enough? How many of these phoney betas must you fall for?!?! Playing a partial demo a week before release IS NOT BETA access..

Quit being fooled so they can impress stores with phoney numbers just cuz you want a tease of this game.

F2P games now have 5 closed beta's 2 open betas and a release, EA Sells beta games and gives us 1 day before everyone else.. After a 1 year pre-order...

Enough is enough!

News Comments > Red Orchestra 2 Beta Adds Maps and Deluxe Upgrade for Access
18. Re: Red Orchestra 2 Beta Adds Maps and Deluxe Upgrade for Access Sep 3, 2011, 11:27 Closed Betas
 
Charging for beta, what a concept.. Offering the upgrade to prove they are charging for beta... What imbeciles

I played the game for 12 hours, I hated 11.5 of them and it got worse as I went along. I am a realism tactical shooter fan, but this game is far from exciting. This is beta, and problems and not all content is present, but that's not my fault.. I am not releasing a beta err I mean paid demo 2 weeks before release in crappy state. They are.. and they are charging for it.. so they get a real review.

The game is counter strike set in old times... The play areas on the map are small and have few choices of attack, they want you do fight instantly to encourage mayhem and blitzkrieg effects I guess...

You literally have to follow only a couple of ways to each point on the map, which in some maps mean you are crawling on your belly, or walking in a crouch down a corridor.. This game's problem is your kit... You are limited to what kit you choose to how you play your game.. Unfortunately, your kit means your doomed if you don't have your team playing together.. you get to a choke point, and you have no ability to chuck grenades around corners or provide the suppressive fire you might need to get that camper who is looking down the only hallway you HAVE to get thru.. So what you say, its a team game.. True, but none the less this removes 60% of the fun this game could offer. The rest is the point, lets say you had a squad working together, the maps are just way to small. Other teamates in another squad can get in the way of your squads actions and royally screw everything up. There's nothing you can do about that. Only choice is to play as a full clan of organized play. But that's not gonna happen, as who can have 16 players on all the time when you want to play. Not too mention the maps are so small and linear... By the end of my 10 hour session, I never wanted to experience that same fight over and over (AGAIN).. I literally was bashing my head in hoping for these 3 new maps..

Finally, speed hacks are already apparent and in this game, speed hacks dominate, as being in position first wins the game.. as well as perhaps some wall hacks as some of the famous servers out there, was getting to the point you never even seen the enemies in maps were you only get one life... same names up top time after time.

Finally, the game is just plagued full of problems, from interface buttons not working, in my friends case, he couldn't even see the
control screen to be able to play with me... alt - tab kills your mini-map, serious clipping issues, prone issues, I was seeing models in game in corners of walls and they would flip back and forth on the ground wall. To me this game ain't close to launch ready.

Game Score, 2 out of 5

I think you are unsure why you quit, but it wasn't from the lack of fear of what's over the mountain, but more-so that there is no more adventure. The game has been completely cheesed down to a click n queue pugfest of complete and utter boredom. It's amazing how many millions of scenarios can be run by the same kids who can't do nothing but attack the first red dot in front of them, leaving strategy and skill a moot point. Next up, just knowing as soon as you get all the gear, a new expansion will come leaving you to more of a worthless endless mega month grind. And the biggest mistake was obvious. Changing the world was Blizzards most stupidest move ever. NEVER change what people are used too, build on it.. What you use to think of a home away from home became a forgotten memory. No interest to re-develop and re-explore... No interest to spend the $15. Eye candy does NOT replace solid foundation / shelter

News Comments > Bethesda Sues Mojang Over Scrolls TM
76. Re: Bethesda Sues Mojang Over Scrolls TM Aug 9, 2011, 22:35 Closed Betas
 
Bethesda is going to bite off their own foot here..
The problem with Bethesda thinking is going to backfire.. See the key here is that Bethesda game name is "The Elder Scrolls". This puts mass emphasis on a certain type of scroll (Elder), and therefore anything not related to this Elder period has absolutely no meaning or confliction.. It was Bethesda's main problem from the start, and now others will learn about it.

It's like Red Sox and White Sox, they're both sox, and go ahead be the Blue Sox... nothing the other Sox can do about it..

This will lead to other companies now massively abusing the scrolls term.. (the backfire) and the beginning of the death of Bethesda, which already is doing a great job self destructing themselves.

No that's wrong, An independent, means your a developer without a publisher.. Valve now owns him, so Valve is a publisher for him, thus NO LONGER INDY.. Of course they'll play this underdog story out as long as they can get away with it
