Also, studying maps is much more time consuming than in other games. | ||

Or you do, anyway. There was a guy on the NS forums that used to make gorge porn... Anyways, I thought it was an interesting design choice to make every marine base depend on an artosis pylon  ... I kind of feel like that's likely to change at some point when kharra start realizing how counterattacking works. | ||

Understandable, though. I imagine multiplayer focused games like NS2 or DotA2 being pretty hard to review... | ||

What? Seriously, this guy has no idea what hes talking about. He gives the game a 6 because its "too hard" and yet Dark Souls gets a great score? Even IGN gave NS2 a good score. Now thats when you know that this guy has no idea. IGN usually couldn't figure out a good game if it bit them in the ass and for once, they did. | ||

NS1 was one of my favorite games and seeing NS2 doing well is nice  .NS2 is definitely not finished yet. They had to meet a deadline (Fall 2009 sadly wasn't met >.>) so October 2012 sounds great. As for NS2's optimization - The problem is because everything is done in Lua (at least, that's what I heard the problem is). Some games do use Lua but only partially. NS2 is coded mostly through Lua (one of the main reasons is mod support + preventing mods from being able to do stuff outside of the game, or so I heard because IDK about much regarding this >.>). You definitely need a beefy machine to play NS2 with good FPS. From the NS2 site - Seems like NS2 was a success! They have enough for their investors and there's no more uncertainty with whether UWE will be successful or not. I'm glad to see they can now work on NS2 without worrying about deadlines anymore . | ||

IGN usually couldn't figure out a good game if it bit them in the ass and for once, they did. I havnt played Dark Souls so I cant say but sometimes there are games that are fun when still being hard and some that arnt so much while being hard. For them i guess NS2 was the latter. Which is understandable when its multiplayer. You have a much heavier desire to do better than the other person in a multiplayer game. It took me a few games (especially as a kharaa) but now im biting and shooting with the best of em! | ||

If you are a gamer that enjoys learning units, maps, controls and have a reasonable complex gaming experience, you'll probably be get interested in the game from the review regardless of the score. The "go to metacritic and look at a number" way of judging games that so many people seems to be doing is shooting themselves in the foot considering how arbitrary gaming journalism is atm. | ||

IGN usually couldn't figure out a good game if it bit them in the ass and for once, they did. I've never played an NS game in my life and I picked up on everything I needed to know in about 30 minutes of gameplay. This guy is absolutely retarded. On a brighter note, played my first -real- Alien game today with a friend. Oh my god man, oh my fucking god that was intense. Playing Skulk with a partner is just hilarious. And once I got a Fade, the rape train began. Nothing, NOTHING is quite more satisfying than in a room without power teleporting around a group of 4 marines and an exo, rapidly picking them off before teleporting around the exo and killing him. | ||

I got bored with the marines really quick I gotta admit, I don't think there's enough possible playstyles offered by the current items, it's all very straightforward and having an Exosuit is tedious as hell. But Aliens are so much fun to play, I love every second of it. By the way, I was wondering, what would be the best way to make a come back in pubs? Regularly, the game is pretty much hopeless, with the other team controlling basically the whole map. In any strategy game, this should be an instant gg but it often drags out for half an hour because of their newb commander and their lack of coordination. I usually try to sneak by and kill their ressource towers far away, just to mess things up as much as possible (just like I usually did in SC when I was behind), but it seems there's only so much one player can accomplish. | ||
