How Would You Respond? UPDATE
I got this message the other day in my Gamspot inbox.
Quote:
Space Empires iV
normally wouldnt take time to look at a review or respond to one. Space Empires is the weakest game ever, how would you rate it highly. The community is full of little geeks that wait for newbees to come out (or in) and they pounce on them to gain more points. Im an expert flyer and fighter, but could not get ahead.
What a total waste of money, totally crap game

I replied with the following statement:

Your alone in your belief that the game is weak. It has been on the market now for five years and is one of the most popular 4x games ever made. I find your comments to be evidence that you have never really played the game. I cannot help but feel sorry for you.

Hey, that just totally describes us, doesn't it!  
I'm not sure what this guy's talking about, but it sure as hell isn't this community! "...to gain more points" ??? What the hell?
Oh well, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion...unfortunately.

Re: How Would You Respond?
I would give him an invite to KOTH (or the Ratings, if it had happened several months ago), so I can beat him and gain points and/or climb the Hill. Why do you ask?
Now if you will excuse me... Full thrust and direct course to Ed! Firing all forward cannons! Need to rack up some more points!

Re: How Would You Respond?
The comments "pouncing on geeks" and "expert flyer and fighter" suggest that the original poster is thinking of a different game. Could he have confused "Space Empires IV" and "Space Empires: Starfury"?

And he has the nerve to call *us* "geeks"? 
He's obviously confused. SEIV is a 4x game, not a shoot-em-up. And Starfury isn't multiplayer.
Yet another example of the 4x/1PS bifurcation gone bad... |

Re: How Would You Respond?
The message was sent back May to my inbox at Gamespot. I never bothered to check it until today.
I honestly have no clue what the guy is talking about. I think he was just a disgruntled MOO3 fanboy who was a bit peeved at me for saying MOO3 sucked ***.

I wouldn't have. He's obviously frusterated because the game concepts cannot be mastered by the speed of one's mouse clicks. *shrug* |

Re: How Would You Respond?
Space Empires is not really a good game for shoot em up type people to play. Reference my brother. He got bored after the first ten minutes because he didn't get to shoot or blow up anything.

Re: How Would You Respond?
...I like shoot'em'ups.
I like pretty much everything but sports games (Only got into one of those, but I was rather good at it).
I guess part of it is that I'm good at any type of game, but great at none. (Although I can be great at a game).
