So, I'm here after being stupifyingly disapointed and annoyed by the latest "Victory is Life" update. I have a long list of "grievences" so I'll start by summorsing them:
- Invisible barriers EVERYWHERE!
- The WORST kind of 'rail' play where there are ZERO choices and 100 stupid tasks pretending to be choices (with ZERO conviction).
- No Female Jem'hadar option (unnecessary sexism, wouldn't have even been bad if it was an asexual race, but its just MALE).
- On dying respawing pushes you forward in mission, you could skip all the missions just dying, respawing then pressing next button (oh and incase you wanted to PLAY the part you missed by dying, the invisible walls around the balcony prevent you going back).
Anyway, these types of theme continue throughout the game making you wish you where either dead or had chosen a better game to be your primary game as this game is worse than mindless drivel. Sorry, but I have to be fully honest.
They did do some things well, they remodeled DS9 to be more in line with the original layout. They added a nice feature in the way of spiral staircases, which where very enjoyable. Then they released a patch which prevented you falling off the straircases, MADE ME SO ANGRY. The stairs where actually fun, and now they are just ANOTHER FUCKING BORING RAIL.
CRYPTIC AND PWE FUCKING LEARN A GAME IS ABOUT VARIETY, ITS ABOUT DOING SOMETHING ANY WAY YOU FANCY AND COMING UP WITH NEAT AND DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THINGS. YES, SURE YOU CAN APPLY SOME RULES TO PRESENT CHALLENGE, BUT THEY KEY WORD IS CHALLENGE, GUARD RAILS AND BARRIERS ARE FOR TODDLERS AND ONLY THEN TO SAVE THEM FROM HURTING THEMSELVES AS THEY CANT WE AREN'T FUCKING TODDLERS (THOUGH YOUR SHITTY GAME SURE CAN MAKE PEOPLE ACT THAT WAY WHEN YOU MAKE IT DEADLY DULL).
So now PWE and Cryptic turned me into a agressive moron with their bad gaming, I can only be glad that there are lots of good people who play the game to make it worth while.
My only problem with that mission is that there aren't any -human- prisoners you can also mow down into a bloody heap with my new free VR quality Dominion polaron rifle. Also thanks Cryptic for the free polaron Omni beam! :D Big uppies!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, where's my human rifle-bait?! Humans need killings too! Racist much Cryptic? Or are you just mean to poor little Shanas? *Sobby sob*
Also, so you're mad at the game for not offering something they've never offered before? STO isn't about choices, it's about the story, resource gathering and space battles. Have you thought about The Old Republic? Player choice is the cornerstone of their gameplay style. I can personally attest that many times in situations like the one you describe, you can choose not to shoot anyone at all and the game supports it. Plus, tons of outfit options! ... But only 16 outfit slots, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI found a simple solution, I don't play Jem'Hadar :D
ReplyDeleteThere have been some small improvements lately, it's still my only and primary game. Though I grant without such amazing people playing along with me I would likely stop playing. However, as long as they don't break teaming (and don't make more single player only missions) theres enough depth to make it super fun.
