    Really? we are reducing ourselves to rating a complex game with many mechanics and features to one simple number?

    yea right! This is totally not common practice! Why would you do that? It's absurd!

    ...

    You know what? In the end it's even a binary decision. Buy/ don't buy; play/ don't play

    Yes.

    Anyhow, at the moment, due the lack of features like saving, offline mode, DRM, and the frankly poor campaign mode (oh, and the absence of a tutorial), I feel like giving it a 5.

    Yes it's fun. But it's not a game that should have been released as it is now.

    I think "7" is fair. There are some pathing issues. The matchmaking service seems flaky a lot. There is a lot of room to make a map that just plain sucks and the game bogs down when too many T1 units are involved.

    But the overall experience (on a map you know is good) is fun and does fill that TA-style RTS niche we've been missing. I'd still recommend it on Steam.

    There is no official matchmaking :p and I dare to say PA Stats matchmaking by now is pretty stable, just underpopulated.

    its a good game, a game worth having, but in its current state missing big core features and failure to improve the lava planets to barely even touch them or the water since alpha is lazy, so gave it a 5.

    I would say 5. I backed this game when I see the unit canon in kick starter video and was impressed. I had hoped the look of the game would change and not look cartoony.

    If I could always play on a system of under 4 planets with my buddies, then I'd give it a solid 8/9. Especially if 90% of my games could be single planet systems.

    Since this isn't possible, and half the public games I play turn into dire orbital grind fests, I'm gonna stick with a 6, but I could well see that going up with a few fairly minor improvements to the orbital game. Offline mode/single player and galactic war don't bother me in the slightest.

    It is a 7 in my opinion. It is nice to play, but there is so much that has to evolve.
    Total Annihilation in my eyes is a 10. FA is a 9.

    I can not understand why someone gave only 1 point there.
    Is the game not running? Or crashed your hardware?

    I was in doubt between 7 and 8. Voted for a 7 because there is too much awesomeness to be implemented ;) I bet this grade will rise when a new big update hits ^^

    Due to the bugginess of the game, I dropped one point, due to server performance and lack of offline/some UI improvements I dropped another. Finally, I dropped my last point because I don't find the balance (think tactics/strategy, naval and orbital) particularly fun, and GW is too bland to play. This brings it down to a 7 in my eyes, 8 once all the bugs are finally dealt with. I like the game and is concept, and I'm not rating it on features it doesn't have unless they were promised (40p will come with offline). PA is fun, but is certainly not mature.

    Edit: I think there is enough cool stuff in game (annihilazer; halleys) and supported by it (full on modding, particularly once we get the server) that I decided 6 would be to harsh.

    Id give it an 8.5, even though I cant play it at all till the offline is out. But from what I have seen so far, ITs pretty darn good.

    When Offline is ready and out, and mroe commanders are avalible to buy, Ill give it a score of OVER 9000! XD

    It goes both ways IMO. I can't see how someone could give this game a "1" with how much Uber has put into the game, but likewise I can't see how someone could give this game a "10", seeing as how many features are still missing and performance is still lacking late-game. I personally give it a 6.5/7 like everyone else. It's a solidly fun game with very well thought-out RTS mechanics, but not without it's issues and lacking features (Naval, late-game performance, etc.).

    5.5. Half way there. Good concept, the basics are there, the game is playable, we all know the current issues.

    Gave it a 7. Average right now is around 6.6, which seems reasonable.
    I think that this game will be a 9 when all the fixes and features are complete. (saves, offline etc.)

    I'm amazed anyone gave this a 10!! aint worth that score, no matter how good you think the game is, its missing too many core features to give it a score like that... I'd call them more trolls then peeps that voted a 1
