The same way you fail miserably at bull****ing like you have a Ph.D. and keep saying you do.

We need to train a psychic to take control of Derek Smart's mind and force him to make good games.  Or we could use his money to commission Volition into making a FS3 before leaving him in a dark alley in Oakland with only a Chargers jersey.

O Gran Demonio Roedor!

Seriously. It's easy to say "Full refund if product sucks". But is he going to pay anyone? No. He'll just accuse the complainers of not knowing how to play the game. There. It's not his fault. It's the players' fault. Done and done.

Oh, and I too took a lil' peek at that HUD. And I think I'm blind.

I am going to buy 7000 copies, then say they all suck, get my money refunded, and then sell all of the games on e-bay at greatly reduced prices.

Post by: G0atmaster on March 08, 2008, 02:05:50 pm
yeah the HUD, and then the game has a lot of orange-on-blue, which, if you know anything about colors, is a no-no.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA

Sorry, you mentioned Darek Smart's games.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

[rant]I always laugh at them so hard when the thought comes that this guy has the mental capacity to make a decent game.
Seriously, a 101-page manual for his games? ****ty graphics and problems that even i could fix if i devote one hour into learning how to mod something? This guy, without a doubt, has to be the dumbest peice of **** ever. I just can't comprehend how he possibly convinced anybody to publish his games. This would make an OK free-online internet game AT MOST, and only if you take out the huge complexity factor of the sea of acronyms.[/rant]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

I think that's a tad unfair. They're definitely behind the SCP but they're not anywhere near as bad as his previous games.

Glow is like the damned lensflare, really it is. Stick your HDR-ish up your rear people.

I wonder if he fixed the damned boarding action system yet? The career mode for BC:M was unplayable because of it. Only the AI can board you, not the other way around. You can only tell your marines to look around, and they don't do it systematically or anything, because this is BATTLECRUISER MILLENIUM and not some namby-pansy game that makes sense. They also can't be ordered to secure the important parts of the ship, such as the hangerbays, engineering, or CIC, while they search, so you can have some damn idiot with a pistol waltz in and kill your bridge crew (yes, this actually happened to me attempting to do the first career-mode mission...well, he might have been a really smart guy with an assault rifle I guess), or sabotage your powerplant and make you explode, or kill the mission-critical passengers aboard...

...because the AI actually has a target priority thing and knows to go after stuff in order of mission-critical cargo/passengers, powerplant, bridge, and then launch bay to steal something and escape. All you have is a crappy search order crappily executed and prayer. The manual goes into detail about what the AI boarders will try to do and then how your people will respond when told to look for them.

But it doesn't see the forest for the trees, or it's pretending not to.

From looking at this Youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtmtVgzdKFA&feature=related) it looks like he ripped a bunch of assets from Freespace 2 (shockwave anyone?).

Umm.... in the view where he looks behind himself fom an in-cockpit viewpoint, and you can see the pilot model, WHERE THE HELL IS THE REST OF HIS SHIP??? I mean, is shows him flying some fighter, but then it all just disappears. In FS2, the glance back looks like its from a rear facing camera perspective, but this Echo Squadis just..... wow.  And am I seeing things, or does it look like the shockwave at 0:31 ish look chillingly similar to the ones we use now?

Post by: Jeff Vader on March 12, 2008, 09:59:28 am
The cockpit is huuge and shakes excessively when shot at. You'd think the pilot shakes more than the cockpit, but oh well. The use of colours causes cataract. The shockwave is a ripoff (not that he'd ever admit it)...
