Hey guys,
 
sometimes lately I've been wondering if the Quick Look audio is behind the video. It occurred to me while watching some of the STO stuff but also the latest (Global Agenda). I guess I could be crazy, but sometimes I hear mouse/button clicks in the background that seem a little behind.
 
Maybe it's just PC Quick Looks?

I think it's @rudds, but I'm not sure.

Man. 6-8 hours in, now, and it's really bad. There are comedic levels of bugs. The quests, I mean uh, missions, are strung together broken dialog boxes. The interface is horrible, when it works. You're constantly mashing space (or 1 or 2 or 3 or whatever), just like Brad was, it never gets better. Eventually you get to some overwhelmingly huge battles where you're just happy to get through them, and after a solid hour of that it's not even the small amount of fun it was at the beginning.
 
It's a bizarre game. The art department seems to have finished most of the character models and ships, and that's about all that's done. It plays exactly like someone took the Champions code, made some rooms with Star Trek stuff in them, with the right noises and stuff, and shrugged. There are still multiple references to "powers." When you get bridge officers (pets) you can change their "costumes". I'm seriously shocked that they're releasing it soon.
 
It's weird because for that first little while, it hits the right buttons in your head. You go "heehee, this is fun, phasers! Vulcan monastery!" It helps you laugh off the first few dozen bugs. And then it fully sinks in how little they give a shit about making a good game. Either Cryptic is just deathly afraid of doing anything remotely new, or they didn't even try.  Either way it's one of the worst MMOs I've ever tried. There are better free-to-play games out there.
 
I hope we get a fourth installment of the GB guys checking it out, after the weekend, or they go over it on the Bombcast. People should know how much it sucks.

I got mind from the Danish Eurogamer. You uh, well, it's Danish. I don't know Danish, and I made it work. I look forward to visiting the site for all of my Danish gaming needs.
 
I'm downloading the client from Big Download, and it's 1.8 MB/s, so I would recommend them.
 
This game looks really terrible! I can't wait.

@zudthespud: The first "teaser" on his vimeo account was posted 8 months ago, so he's been working on it at least that long.
 
Full time? Probably not, but even 20 hours a week would make it .. uh.. like 700 hours.
 
buh.

I think both
a) this makes sense the way you proposed it
and
b) despite the fact that it would be conceptually nice to have a bright clear definition of what is a Platform, I agree that adding Steam would mean you should probably add all the other ones, and oh god that would be horrible.

If it gets necessary, though, you could always add a "Distributors" category, and people could add Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Steam, EA.com, as necessary etc.

You could check out Allegiance, even if you did once ten years ago - it's updated, it's free, and it can be totally addictive if you can get over the learning curve and play some good games. If you try it on a weekday afternoon/evening or Sunday afternoon it seems to be pretty full of players. I still think a good game of Allegiance with a top-notch team is one of the best game experiences out there.
