Re: RELEASE - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
Its called not having a life, somthing we nerds are quite proud of  :p

Bleh to you. I like to think of myself as having at least some semblance of a life :P Actually I've been playing the hermit this past year so that probably helped with getting it done.

Something I read on some site : We don't need to get a life - we're gamers - we have lots of lives .

I think s/he's quoting a post (or something) from another Website.

On-Topic - I love this game - great story - bril music.
I especially like the new version of Syphon. its better than the original version with INF R1

My God!  Darius is Da Man!!!   :cool:  This is one of the best campaigns I've played since the original Freespace 2.  How did you do this?  It's too incredible for words!  All in all, well done!  I am definately looking forth to a sequel.  :yes:

One thing he captured from the original FS2 campaign is that he stops at a good time in the story.  What I mean is that the original FS2 campaign stopped after the Supernova, while Blue Planet stops after the main character goes to Earth forces.  At this point in both campaigns, the story can go anywhere.  Though, the original campaign allows us to create a continuing story in any direction while Blue Planet has to continue with Captain Bei, or to make it less interesting, any character related to Blue Planet.


Possible Spoiler:

I think the best part of Blue Planet was at the end, when the battlegroup gets back in contact with Command.  It provides an interesting twist to the current mental state of the Terrans.  At first, when command said to continue the original orders, I was like "What?  Command isn't going to debrief them or help their wounded?  How 'bout reloading them?  This isn't the way Command operates!"  Then, once the story plays out 'till the end, I was like, "Woah, this is deep!  I never thought of a scenario where the GTVA would become corrupt."  The thought never occured to me because, in my mind, the GTVA represents true leadership and strength.  This story just blew me away!

Anyway, thanks again, Darius, for creating such an awesome campaign and cannot wait for the next one!

Well they did sound awfully similar. I noticed that too, when I watched AC a while back.

Finished this campaign last night.  OUTSTANDING.  It's a bit rough on my poor, ancient video card at times, but a ton of fun!

Possible spoiler:
Also, it's nice to see the Shivans get their glowing-red butts thoroughly kicked for once.

RB is "Those Who Fight Further" from Advent Children, used when the gang are kicking the butt out of Bahamut :)

Machine samples are from The Machine and Harkonnen Force by David Arkenstone who is a kickass composer.
