I'd agree with most of what that review has to say, and this bit make me lol:

Hmm, a fair enough review really. It's a shame that it came now, just before C2 will be released. It might be worth sending Onrpg an e-mail to ask them to do redo the review once C2 comes out.

Quote: The graphics are outdated but they are still impressive, since making it better would be irrelevant for this type of game. lets hope C2 will prove them wrong. |

Yeah, I think the sounds comment isn't horribly unfair, to be honest. We did spend quite a while maybe a year ago looking for some better sounds, but it was extremely time consuming with little to show for it. Not sure how much it would cost to outsource the redoing of all the sounds to a professional 3rd party studio, but it is probably worth it with SS2 coming.

Heh, 99.9% of the playerbase just plays with sounds off, and listens to music or something.
The review seems good, but I don't get why they insist SS is for the "casual" gamer. It is somewhat lacking in content atm, mostly for endgame people, but there's still loads to do. _________________ Dorin Nube wrote: Nipples aren't the only danger here. |

Sounds aren't too bad, but not really on par.
I dont see what could be done about them though. If the sounds were out-sourced the studio would need to know what they're doing, no point paying for a load of old rubbish. "and your ship may even change its shape as you continue to distribute more points." I dont really get what he means by this, is he talking about when you buy another ship to use? _________________ Octo wrote: QFT Octo either owned the fish initially, or scooped it when he podded any/all of the above. |

lol, he probably saw someone in a volcom and thought your ship changed into it eventually

"The game doesn't offer many tutorials so you might as well jump in and hope that you get used to it before you get blown to space dust."

Real men dont read instructions! And if they do they read them in a language they don't understand. _________________ Octo wrote: QFT Octo either owned the fish initially, or scooped it when he podded any/all of the above. |

Quote: The game's controls are easy to get used to. It's actually more of the primitive tank controls which consist of: left, right, and forward. A bit confusing at first, but you'll grow into it as time progresses. My sentiments exactly. The game needs a better tutorial, not more controls. Like I said in my post about the "space anchor" implemented in the test client: Quote: The game might be complicated, sure; but so is chess. Anybody can play chess if they know how the pieces work. _________________ while (!asleep(sheep++)) {} |

The learning curves are kinda separate
basics = easy really understanding the game is much harder, which separates SS from all the other MMOs I think the learning curve is alright the way it is. _________________ Octo wrote: QFT Octo either owned the fish initially, or scooped it when he podded any/all of the above. |

This review is rather accurate I think. The sound isn't all that great. I play with the background music off and the sound effects down to 40 and listen to music while I play. xD
A good review, but I think it may have come at a bad time. On the good side, this could increase our playerbase a bit, but on the negative side it could keep people from playing that would be more interested by what C2 will look like. |
