do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

I still don't know why people find BCMG and UC difficult to play. All you have to do is do what you would for any normal FPS with the exception of a few command keys, but that is why there is a manual. Hell, I found Microsoft Flight Sims much, MUCH more difficult to play with.

At least they could give coverage of the bad parts of the game, like the absence of goals, the extremelly short campaign (1 mission, 24 hours to complete it), the clomsy FPS combat, and other things expected from a jack of all trades type of game.

MS Flight Simulator was a Flight Sim and want to be realistic. ;)

I play Universal Combat for 15 Minutes and then i uninstalled this "Game".

And Battlecruiser Millenium i play for 1 hour.



Derek Smart have good ideas in his Games, but the Controls and other things, were only "Bad" i think, his Games are one of the worest Games ever but with interessing ideas.

Derek Smart is simply the kind of person who would sack beta-testers for finding bugs with his games.

This month?  Does $50 count as a budget re-release or something?

We keep a yard full of them around for this very purpose. Choose your ram well, and avoid the pre-used ones. :nervous:

Is there some irony that I was listening to Sympathy for the Devil while reading your post?
