Metacritic user votes?

lokiCML · July 1, 2014

FYI, Metacritic is allowing user votes on PA before it is released. Hopefully a total cluster fark does not occur as happened last time.

An utter disappointment. Where the game Isn't absolutely smacking It's face down to 2-5 FPS on high-end machines with even the most modest of firefights at lowest graphics, Its instead delivering an overwhelming mainstreamed RTS experience whereas you simply spam, spam and spam to win. And I mean it. You can literally hunk up to thousands of queues to produce units in singular factories and have them run there, at the end of time with a nigh infinite amount of resources. And those factories? Why, they go up in mere seconds and can spout out workers even quicker which can also build more factories..

These wouldn't be big problems if it was applied correctly with sufficient amounts of variation but anything can wipe out anything else.. If in a sufficient quantity. Which It will be, because everything has an astonishingly long range and the concept of "walls" in this game is perhaps the biggest laughable thing. Does it block flamers? Nope. It goes through. Does it block tanks? Nope, they do splash damage on say, turrets behind the wall. Do they block artillery? Nope. Do they block airplanes? Go guess. As of right now, literally any base defense is to counter "singlar scout" harassment ordeals and nothing else so sadly, It's a massive gimmick instead of being an integrated feature of the game.

The same goes for alot of the units as well. Take, the flamer for example. Incredibly slow moving and stubby-ranged flamethrower on wheels, boasting "alot of armor" while being 2-3 shot by sniping semi-automatic tanks which do not only splash damage but can also more while firing. I mean, what were they thinking? "Oh, yeah this unit will be great to crawl into enemy bases If they're 95% defenseless, oh man It's gonna wreck so much havoc with that cool fire lol" The resource system is a pathetic collection of endless money pocket pants which can only be expanded upon by increasing your max storage cap with warehouses, the combat is an unitellgible, imbalanced and poorly implemented mess and the "universe seemless combat" ordeal is a gimmck, and nothing more as literally all conflict enders are either planet collisions or uber spaceship ra!p

The fact that the devs were trying to sell this rubbish at first for about 90€ Is enough proof for me of their narrow-sighted child mentalities but playing the game really seals the deal on just how poorly made this game is right now, and how It will almost guaranteed be in the future. Stay away,

This probably won't end well.

Time to write a review though.

elonshadow · July 1, 2014

Aah the Internet, give people anonymity and a chance to spout bile, and they shall happily take it.

Also the internet has been a test to see how many monkeys bashing on keyboards it takes to produce anything useful.

Lame. It should be noted those are all reviews of the Early Access edition. Too bad there isn't that distinction.

Well it is critic but nothing more. Months back, ewww but now done maybe , 2 years from now maybe and noone else is doing this, IMO. In rts, sc2 do this, but not at this level.

Metacritic has a character limit of 150 though .

But the issue can be summed up as this: 3 scores of 10, one of 8, two of 9, one of 0, total score 8.6.

Edit: the arbitrary character limit was 5000, I stand corrected.

Posted my review with a score of 9.

One day I hope for PA to be a 10.

Until then I'll have to play more of it...

DeadStretch · July 1, 2014

I noticed without any Critic reviews the page looks bare.

aggie2016 · July 2, 2014

The only review of "0" for PA on metacritic is from a user who consistently gives out zeros to pretty much every game. I wish metacritic had a report douchebag button for those users who live only to make others miserable.

DeadStretch · July 2, 2014

Speaking of missing features, the page is so bare compared to others. I wish community members were allowed to upload/link proper Box art and videos and such.

This is the consequence of poor marketing decision (90€ Early Access), misinformation (this is TA & SupCom like, not Starcraft) and a little bit of pride hurt & lack of skill (yes, send close combat units against long ranged units, good boy...).
Can not end well. User review are crap 99% of the time...

And Brian, your review is higly biaised :
- 40 players games does not exist yet (promised, but still far away from being possible)
- planet smashing is just a map annihilation in a fancy form, a few other RTS have already done this (have to dig trough my posts, will edit later)(maybe, tired and have a plane tomorow)
(altrough it is very very cool and fancy...)
- Galactic War is a high revamp of TA's Boneyard + a few little bits from other RTS (can't remember the names, crap >_<)
Choose your words carefully !
(yeah, Devil's advocate... But don't write things that might get used against you in the future)

they've been played before and are quite possible, assuming bigger servers probably even reasonably playable.
Definitely not far away.
