Oh man, I'm glad they mentioned that they don't know what to call it when you drive a boat.

For some reason it always bugged me that I couldn't find a word for it in English, since there's a word for it in my native language and I'm guessing most other languages. Why wouldn't you have a word for it? It just seems sloppy.

English is indeed a sloppy language, but we do have a word for it: Pilot. =]

Looks terrible. Deepsilver is really proving to be a sketchy publisher.

Wouldn't the word be "captain", to captain a vessel? I usually hear pilot for planes and other airborne vehicles.

They way they handle money in co-op seems pretty poorly thought out.

They're called helmsman. Because they helm the ship.

The word is helm.

@smcn: I thought you needed a crew to captain something. I go with piloting or sailing.

RE: Captaining, Helming, Sailing, Piloting

Captaining a ship does indeed require that you be in a position of authority.

Helming is the correct word for most seaborne vessels, but not every vessel has a helm, so it's a 'squares and rectangles' situation.

Sailing is also accurate, but only so long as your vessel has a sail. Writers do tend to refer to non-sail-based naval travel as sailing, but it's generally for literary or poetical effect.

Piloting is the catch-all term for any vessel whether it be submarine, naval, aerial, or spacefaring.

So we're all correct, and the English language continues to be sloppy. =]

The way money is handled throughout seems bad. Even if you were just playing solo, the things that grant the player money are nonsensical and arbitrary, even by video game logic.

But still, there doesn't seem to be a direct equivalent for "driving" or "flying" in English, a catch-all term which just means moving on the water. Maybe you can use "boating", but that doesn't seem to hold the same connotations.. I don't think one would would say "This afternoon, I boated some around the lake. Yeh, I boat, what about it?".

This game seems piss poor, but might be excusable if you have a good co-op buddy.

Those turrets are setting off alarm bells in my mind, which are Satan in game form (and not the cool Megaten version of that, either).

edit: Oh god, a text messge to say what powerups in a SHMUP do. we really have gone backwards in game design lately, havent we?

Finally, a video game with gun sounds recorded by someone clicking their tongue against the roof of their mouth.

You mean the assault rifle post halo 3?

edit: This game looks silly. Probably fun with a friend, though.

The developer really needs to work on their sound effects. I'm really not sure how it is that games like Halo and RAGE can have such satisfying gun sounds, but other titles have such piddly-sounding weapons. :P
