Re: New DeScent? Miner Wars
Anyways, it's an ugly piece of game. Brown and grey. Hurray.

And you didn't get Jeff's point. It's not only annoying, it's against forum rules.
The FPS is shown because in the launcher it is set up to show it.

Re: New DeScent? Miner Wars
Well if I have to be banned I have to be banned. Rules are rules or course.

And no, the launcher isn't set up that way. Does it have to do with the Inferno build?
I don't think I did anything wrong though, though I'm sorry if I did.

Read the FSO FAQ stickied in the FSO support board. Follow its instructions.

Haha, I actually mentioned something about that on their forums. They say their art style is "industrial".

That's so nineties.

Re: New DeScent? Miner Wars
It has potential, I think: it's captured the feel of Descent better than anything I've played since. If the pre-alpha demo is any indication, though, they have quite a ways to go in order to make it fun.

I was kinda interested in it, but the way they chose to advertise the thing is putting me off, to be honest.

Re: New DeScent? Miner Wars
This is the kind of advertising that puts me off. The latest things prior to this that have caused me ire have been Bulletstorm and Rango, who's annoying, intrusive ads have made sure that I wouldn't be purchasing them, although chances are I probably wouldn't have, anyway. But this is a game which is firmly in my preferred genre, and now they're actively pushing me towards either not playing it or pirating it rather than buying it because of **** like this. I just couldn't justify giving money to a company who make an effort to spam my forum - and consider - we've only gotten one of these (well, 3) but there must be larger forums which have gotten multiple people trying to get clicks, and potentially dozens of these sorts of topics.

 I dunno, maybe I'm in the minority, but I would have thought they could have come up with a better system that wouldn't alienate their potential user base.

They're trying to do the Minecraft-viral model. The difference is that while Minecraft was/is an unfinished game, it was still extremely playable. Miner wars has a neat engine, but nothing really to play and generate viral excitement. And viral excitement isn't something you can force by incentivizing it.
