I get an error on an image now and then on uploads. Then instead of the failed image the uploader automatically puts the last pic before the ones I just uploaded in its stead........ so sometimes completely random screens from other games are put into the wrong games. To make it worse I can't figure out how to delete images I've uploaded from games (I guess maybe I can't..?). Pretty annoying.
This looks like it might be a different problem to the one described in the OP. But the threadtitle fit ..... so
"Yeah it was a decent, I just wonder if the full game will have more varied environments, like alien planets and such, the space ship in the demo was a very bleak environment, not bad but if the whole game were like that, well I'd pass.
Also classes, character creation and such. Will you have a whole party at your disposal like in DS2? Can you create your own character at the start, choose class etc.? Or are you just playing as that guy and develop him to different directions? The demo left me with more questions than answers.
I liked the core gameplay tho, and it's still on my wish list but not as an immediate buy. Despite being a scifi fan I think I would had rather taken Dungeon Siege 3. "
I'm pretty sure you'll only play as that one guy. And you won't have a party, but you'll get a droid helper guy following you somewhere in there-- which you'll also be able to upgrade. The environments will probably be more varied, but I've got the impression you'll mostly only be on either a or across several spaceships. I've seen some concept art from a spaceship that's got different "themed" sections, like system shock or bioshock, medical area and so on.
"AS a huge fan of DS2 and scifi, I've been looking forward to this game a lot, gonna download it now, too bad I'm hooked to a crappy wlan right now, it's gonna take ages. And not sure how much justice a demo is gonna do to a game like this that is all about looting and leveling(I pressume it's about those). "
Yeah, I know-- demos for games such as these.. it's such a futile endeavour. This one despite being so short, I think it represents the game really well. Much more so than other more recent games of the ilk, like Too Human and Hellgate London. Those had really awful demos. It might be because this game doesn't rely on character classes, random loot drops or high levels to find the real game, or countless hours of character/stats building to be able to master the skills and that other built up crap. Space Siege does seem really simple compared to, well even Dungeon Siege 2 possibly though. Will be interesting to see the full game.
Really enjoyed what little there was of the game on display in this demo. Seriously, it's like 10-15 mins. And you don't get to have much of a look into the skill upgrades and whatnot. But they look similar to the Diablo/Hellgate style trees. They've removed all loot and experience/levelling it looks like. I don't actually mind/care (saw this as a "big deal" complaint for the game over on neogaf), the spare parts/scrap metal system for upgrading armor and weapons looks to do the job nicely, and the combat seems to be fun enough to sustain the game on its own without the standard cheap loot trick dungeon crawls usually pull on you.
Takes a little time getting used to the camera movement. It's a lot like Guild Wars actually, except you can't move the camera with the mouse, you use the keyboard for left/right and zoom in/out. Mouse is only for clicking to move with the left button and weapon firing with the right. Works really well when you get used to it.
Only other possible complaint I've got from the demo is the console/flash game style user interface which just looks really cheap, but I guess I can.. easily.. live with it. It's a defnite buy for me, even from such a short demo.
