News Comments > Star Wars Focused DICE Studio Coming
38. Re: Star Wars Focused DICE Studio Coming May 15, 2013, 17:43 Taskeen
 
Well, that's the end of any hope for a new Star Wars space sim. No room for X-wing 2013 when they could make buko bucks from FPS type star wars games. My dreams of becoming a TIE Fighter Ace and joining the 181st under the legendary Baron Soontir Fel are gone, forever.

Gotta level up da Light Saber to get a new skin for da Lightsaber and a laser dot attachment for da Lightsaber and a scope attachment for da Lightsaber.

Can't wait for another shitty Furst Purse Fall Out game, not. Sucks for you guys that want it haha.

Wasteland 2 and Shadowrun Returns will be a slap in the face to anyone who shouted there should never be another isometric rpg classics again. Finally getting the games I want.

FO3 was an amazing game and I liked it better than NV like many other people. It was ghastly if you were a fallout 1-2 fan and expected a clone of these, because it's a completely different game.

It had poor writing, poor system design, cookie-cutter dungeon design, decent art direction but some horrifically incompetent art (look at the proportions of the character models sometime, particularly their hands), poor loot progression (mortal sin for what was essentially a dungeon crawler), poor combat, and while it provided a whole world for you to explore, exploration by and large wasn't very rewarding. And of course it's technical design bore no resemblance whatsoever to the originals, the world didn't feel much like Fallout, and the story barely meshed with the proceeding titles, but hey I'll be kind and assume to be valid the argument that fans of a franchise shouldn't expect a truly "next-gen" sequel to be anything like its predecessors. Even then, however, you're still left with the fact that taken on its own merits, FO3 wasn't well designed at all. If you only judge a game by whether or not you had fun playing it, and not by how engaging or intriguing the gameplay that creates that fun is, then I guess FO3 was alright. But then you can have a lot of fun playing checkers, even though when compared to chess it's not a particularly interesting or compelling game.

Don't worry about FO3 fanboys. That game was so bad and was a disservice to the originals. I only give credit to Obsidian for TRYING to work with such a bad engine for NV. We will get our better spiritual successor with Wasteland 2, and other games like Shadowrun Returns proving that games don't need first person all the time, especially for RPG Strategy classics. These kids have no idea how amazing the original Fallouts were.

News Comments > Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy Source Code Released
43. Re: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy Source Code Released Apr 4, 2013, 18:07 Taskeen
 
Unfortunately we will never see the great games again made into the next gen games of today like, X-Wing Simulator, TIE Fighter Simulator, Dark Forces 1 and II (continuing the story of Kyle Katarn and really going next gen with Jedi+Light Saber), Full Throttle (point and click adventure), the continuation of Dash Rendar and Leebo's story from Shadows of The Empire.

That's it, its done forever. I expect Disney to shit out kiddie licensed Star Wars games for the masses, non-Triple AAA titles, and not explore the huge extended universe that is already there for Star Wars. I haven't expected much good things from Lucas Arts though, since they've lost too much talent over of the years. If those good devs form up and create kick starters for new and great games/stories that Lucas Arts used to create, then maybe there is a chance.

I also don't expect much for the so called upcoming star wars movies, when the Extended Universe already has great stories to adapt movies into, like with the Ssi Ruuk that took place right after Return of The Jedi, the assault on Coruscant, the empire surviving as the "Imperial Remnant," Grand Admiral Thrawn, the New Jedi Order, Luke and Mara Jade, Leia becoming a Jedi, Han and Leia's 3 kids, etc.

Updating their graphics or just tweaking the AI won't fix this game. I bought ACM thinking it would be a survival-horror, but its not. They completely missed the point of every alien film, including Aliens. Its basically a disservice to fans and borderline insulting. The story is on par with a 12 year old writing Fan Fiction.

With a disaster like ACM, they should have fkn pulled it back and promised to re-make the damn game. I bet those Gearbox trolls are real excited the heat is off them from this SimCity release.

Why don't they just fucking make a new Age of Empires, based on their originals. Box it up this as yet un-made Age of Empires and sell it for 59.99 and I'll buy it.

Meh, I was hoping more of the Native American angle. The Native Americans, after all, were exploited and nearly brought to extinction by shameful deceit/racism. That would make for a better, highly emotional game in and of itself trying to defend your people as an assassin.

News Comments > Deus Ex Movie Details
25. Re: Deus Ex Movie Details Feb 21, 2013, 17:41 Taskeen
 
A movie made COMPLETELY faithful to the moral and background story of Deus Ex would be controversial. Technically, it still could be considered that with all its background conspiracies that have some truth in the real world. Then there is real kicker, the groups in Deus Ex that take up arms against the government and are branded "Terrorists." You bet your ass I would see that movie, but I doubt something that good would be made. Deus Ex to me was never "Cyber Punk," it is a somewhat realistic view of the future of Humanity in the context of our times.

More Gung Ho Crap. Vietnamese pilots faced 20:1 odds and had higher scoring Aces by the end of the war. Now THAT is something I would to play.

Meh. I'm not pre-ordering anymore games after the 'Crysis' of Aliens: Colonial Marines. Not that I don't like Crysis, the first one was great, and Crysis 3 doesn't look like it'll be suffering from false advertising. I am going to just wait from now on, seeing as I have too many unfinished games as is.

News Comments > Aliens: Colonial Marines Patched
97. Re: Aliens: Colonial Marines Patched Feb 14, 2013, 17:48 Taskeen
 
Wow dewds, graphics is one thing. Yeah, they are atrocious. What is most concerting is that a new Aliens game COULD have been phenomenal. This one is tone deaf. It falls flat at every junction of the game, with EVERY line of dialogue, every part of the game play element is terrible. Its not even an exaggeration! People are bashing this game for what it is.

People were expecting, or at least me being a fan of the films and the old games (Alien Trilogy PS1, AvP1) that this would have been more than a mediocre shoot 'em up. We were expecting Gearbox NOT to 'milk' this franchise, like Pitchford claimed they wouldn't, and create the scariest Alien game in recent years.

The game is a disservice to the fans, the story material, and an absolute insult.

After playing this game for over 2 hours, I can tell that what they tried to do in the demo was hide all the poor elements of the game. Its bad, because it is. They KNEW it was, there is no getting around that fact. They wanted to push this thing out like an aborted fetus.

This game is literally like a Straight Movie to Game title, like Avatar, or any other crap like it. Its that awful, the reviews that are really grilling this game are being absolutely honest. Those author reviewers played the SAME crappy game I just did. Everything, the story, AI, levels, weapons, its crap. The game isn't even scary at all.

If anyone wants the "Marine" experience, just play AvP Gold or AvP 3 on Steam for cheap. AvP Gold is old as shit but actually is non-stop scary, way better than this 2013 title, which is entirely sad. Even AvP 3 from 2010 is better than this game!
