Well spoken BK.

CK, you know that we all sincerely appreciate all that you have done especially for SE V. Thank you. Some games appeal to people, some don't. SE V while it is a very good game in its own right isn't a game that inspires people on level that SE IV had. That isn't a bad thing, its just an unfortunate thing.

That is true, but I am ashamed to say that I really don't enjoy playing SE V. The game frustrates me and doesn't inspire me at any level like SE IV did.

I understand some have difficulty getting past the different UI and it makes SE5 not enjoyable for them, but that shouldn't be used to ignore/dismiss SE5's improvement on many of SE4's mechanics. I'd be hard-pressed to find many non-UI areas where SE5 has regressed.
No one is denying that SE V has some great innovations. We just regret that the bad attributes of the game out weighed the positive attributes of the game.

Quote:
I'm not so bothered that you guys don't like SE5, but you should at least be somewhat specific in your criticism if you choose to post about it. The vagueness of the comments here just tells me that you never really played SE5 all that much and don't really know what the gameplay/feature differences are.
While some my have said they don't like SE V, all I have said is that the game didn't inspire me and thusly I opted not to continue to play it.

Quote:
I'm not sure how many of you lamenting guys have kept up with the patches though since the UI/game has been steadily improved from the early days and might even be "tolerable".
No one will deny that Aaron is one cool hard working dude with a keen gaming sense and a dedication to his work that far exceeds the industry standard by 100 fold. SE V was a 3 base hit, not the home run that SE IV was, but still a respectable game none the less. I am sure the next game, if there is one, will be a home run grand slam.

Question Re: Star Wars

*BUMP*

Thought I'd bump this back on track, and ask how things are going with the Mod?

Default Re: Star Wars

I could use a little of that too.

I have almost finally, finished the Remnant set. Just need to make the bases and neo-standard ships.

I have submitted a boat load of new components for the component mod too. From turrets to the death star gun.

Sorry Intimidator, I just finished up the transports. I was waiting to see if any new ships were introduced in the TV show. I chose to not use the cannon transport ships seen in the movie because I didn't like the way the looked. I might change my opinion and make them anyways, but the ones I have now are more uniform and such. I will finish up the Remnant set soon and send you all that I have.
