give me a good balanced team with proper players, especially stingers/splodges/docs... I'll take shouty or bash... then I'll play you guys 20 times in row with you taking the only shouty/splodge combo... I'm 100% I will brutally destroy you 20 times in row
The end is SO dissatisfying... It focusses only on ONE thing which is completely bullshit imho. Example: I ended up with ALL skills 100 save for 4 (humility, faith, magic defense, magic repute, and two of those at 50 as well!), ALL stats over 20, ALL dungeons cleared, AND about 50.000 gold at end. Then it said something about my 30 weeks as night guard, and my education in combat, even though I ended up a higher schooling level in poetry, and how I would be a tier 2 noble night... TIER TWO FOR MAXING EVERYTHING, CLEARING EVERYTHING, DOING EVERYTHING... sorry but... this makes no sense. 3/5 for what could have been 4 or 5/5
Those people that say all you have to do is crash into objects to control your speed are either very lucky or, more likely, completely full of it. You need some speed to make certain jumps/crashing platforms etc but too much will do you in at those window jumps etc. There is an element of luck involved, and sometimes there just IS no way to make a certain part. Not saying I still dont like it, but its a bit too random for my tastes
It also defeats the button mashing. Using only spells and putting points only in magic (on insane, of course) transforms the button mashing into a frantic adrenaline boost in which timing (using skills or saving them at the exact right moment) and quick thinking/ trigger fingers is essential. The beginning is hard but once you get some spells it seems to get easier... And then it gets REALLY hard
do well, dont get hit, and it gets easier to do well and not get hit and kill faster - Make a few mistakes, loose multipliers, dont be able to upgrade fast enough thus resulting in not killing fast enough thus losing more multiplier etc. Inherently flawed multiplier system... would've been 4/5... now 1/5. Gameplay is THE most important factor in a game quickly followed by atmosphere.
No mute for music alone... muting the very badly mixed music also destroys the other sounds.... either way, it kills the game from the start. Not even going to play it because it is essentially flawed. Re-upload with better music or a button that mutes ONLY the music. Should rate it 1/5 just for that, but I wont rate it at all for now. Have you even played it before you put it on the web?
4310... now I can rest easy again ^^ How ppl can get over 11.000 is beyond me. Human reaction time simply cannot cope with the acceleration at a certain point. Are there robots amongst us? :p
Mostly when I play a game its either love or hate on first play. This one I both hate AND love. Such an adrenaline boost and so addicting yet so frustrating and many a times blatantly *unfair*. Theres only so far reflexes and skill can take you. 3637 after about 10 tries though, which I think is pretty good. Not sure how to rate it... yet
What also would (maybe) be a good idea, is if every player could activate a (5? 10?) second timeout once each game. Often I find I'm the only one on my team who knows what I'm doing, and typing strategies/advice ingame too often leads to a quick death
And yes, I am aware some people have internet issues that makes them disconnect, probably counting as a quit. But disconnecting means the same to your team as quitting. Fix your internet before playing this. Quit penalties ftw!
btw, fixed servers means 5/5 from me :) Although I SHOULD give this a permanent 2/5 just for waiting so damn long to fix it ;) I mean, a version checker was all that was needed to stop the laggers curse episode :p but yeah 5/5... now only something inventive to deal with quitters, like a 30 minute not playing penalty for each quit based on ping?
still does not save stats. too easy. powerup bars seem to go up only a little even after picking up hundreds of powerups - and don't seem to have ANY effect. Money and money upgrades are obsolete since you can buy and upgrade anything you'd like in a jiffy; no strategic saving and buying like in frantic 1 to max anything you want. No explanation on some aspects of the game. Some weapons/upgrades are obviously painfully weaker than others. I could go on, but the bottom line is, as much as I liked frantic, this just doesn't cut it for me. 3/5 for effort, but won't be playing it ever again. Going to play the first one right now though... if it aint broke, don't 'fix' it ^^
does not save my stats :( Needless to say, kinda kills the replayability, since I cannot get feats. Apart from this, still adjusting my opinion. On first impulse, I like it waaay less than the first one, but I'm playing it some more to give it a chance. Maybe it just has to grow on me. Saving my rating for the near future.
well, even is their is the odd cheat... it would indeed be very annoying but I'm not going to let it ruin my fun. And I'll never ever use them myself, even if 99% of the others would start using them XD And to Boris: sorry to bring this up again, but what does total number of kills say about being good, it only says you play much. Granted, some of the people in the hiscores are good players. But then again, some of them are lousy playing kill whores who let their teammembers die, get themselves kills etc etc, all to increase their oh so precious kill count.
how come I NEVER EVER met someone that I could not kill or that used skills at higher levels/damages whatever than is possible? Even while playing tons? Someone probably just pawned you, leaving you in a state of 'wtf?' But apart from the odd cc only class in a kong game, and some hacked hiscores, there is no such thing as trainers/hacking here.
@ JimNightshade: part of playing well is calculating in these kinds of inconveniences. I actually think it contributes to the gameplay. I'd rather have they would FIX THE LOUSY PATHFINDING lol... you know, getting stuck on nonexisting corners etc. Ok, it can be used to your advantage as well, but it feels so like cheating XD
