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:

RE: Space Empires iV
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.

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).

Re: How Would You Respond?
One thing I do know is that it takes some patience to learn this game. Those with little patience will never stick with it long enough to enjoy it.

No offense but I call this the eight year old syndrom.

Re: How Would You Respond?
Hey wilhil, I think I saw a post of yours at the egosoft forums a couple days ago! Do you go by wilhil there too? Can't wait for X3 to arrive! (later release in North America...  )

Re: How Would You Respond?
yeah, I go by that on every site I am a member of, and I should be the only one! my Name is WILliam HILsum and I just like that AKA!
I have been a xer from the X-BTF days years ago! but I will be waiting for the USA release this time, on x2 starforce messed my pc up.
I used to be on the egosoft forums all the time (check my profile there and date joined  !) but about a year ago I moved and hang out with people with intrests in one of my jobs (programming) at gamedev.net I enjoy it there more because I find that egosoft forum admins are a bit to lock happy! |
