DestructoX Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 OK, the game as a crap storyline. Who here thinks Unreal Tournament was a good game? Battlegrounds has a better goddam storyline than UT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSiezen Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 combos are uninspiring. just hit a bot, advance forward, and keep hitting it while it's in the air. i wouldn't call it greate combo system. ? Which game were you playing? As a Beta tester, you should know that this just ain't possible at all. I wish ya good luck against any no-noob. You will get butchered. :devil: I don't like fighting games in general. Why? I think it's just lame that the guy that knows the most special moves or whatsoever (like that ->, ->, ->, <-, punch, punch, -> and voila, you've got a super, you're unbeatable). This game game ain't about that. I've played it intensely, which some people OBVIOUSLY can't say, and it's all about tactics! There are guys who know large combo's, and I respect that, that ain't easy at all. This doesn't mean just pounding the hit buttons, but a well thought over sequence of hits. For example, in a combo, you can't use a single type of hit twice (okay there aresome, but very few exceptions). This means when you've used like the forward right punch (that's right, you've got control of each limb seperately), you can't use it anymore in that combo. You will hit air that second time. But still some guys are abled to smack you down with a 35 hit combo...that's just awesome. I just can't do such, but I still can beat those guys. How? Just being smarter then your opponent(s). Each combo has to be started somehow. This is hard to against a trained opponent. Just slamming contineously doesn't work, you will get countered or when you hit someone with a long cooldown time, he will hit you with a faster but weaker hit, and then will try to combo on you. It's all about trying to penetrate your opponents defense. I try to predict what an opponent will do. Also, each HAR (robot) requires a complete other tactic. You have fast and agile HAR's with low armor and power like Katana, and slow muscle HAR's like Warlord. You can't play the same way with those two. Sigh, I could go on and on with this game, but then I would be advertising or something, right? :blink: This is just my opinion as a gamer, respect that. This opinion is based on really playing this game at it's fullest. Com'on, what is more fun then connecting to a server with like 6 of your buddies, and just start fighting each other? It's so much fun when you are the Last Man Standing after a match. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitaQueenExtreme Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Thanks for that knightly defending Sinkaro.. heeh.. Didnt expect that. On a note since were on topic.. I didnt really flame anyone either no and if you woulda payed attention I even critisized Hades for coming here ranting about OMF BG... So I guess that classifies as attacking too? Anyway im not a fanboi either.. Im a fan of something new.. And thats what OMF BG`s is.. Its the first ever on a pc and for those who expect it to be kickass great and the best game of all time on a first try needs to rethink it all.. It is a great game and going around beating up up to 15 other giant robots is a good feeling. (Specially when ya win) All I can say is try the game and form own opinions.. If you try it for a little and dont like it att all.,. Then fine.. I mean hey thats your opinion of the game.. But publicly attacking a game for the simple and sheer reason to ruin it for the developers is wrong..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUnknownFactor Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 OMF:BG Gameplay: Good, various attacks, various Robots with a large range of pilots, a storyline that kicks the crap out of any fightergame and close to any other popular game out so far.. Graphics: Great, neat reflections, great designs, great details.. The game doesnt have scripted combo's, thus removing the option to cheat much on them, if you face someones side, certain combos will not work, some combos dont work on some HAR's, youve got to be creative and think.. (which is a good thing) This game is very moddable aswell... All new players in this game, playing online (who just got the game, (just released)) love this game.. This may not be ur general fighter.. but it sure kicks the crap out of traditional fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 i somehow highly doubt that any of you 1st posters in this thread will post on neowin again..why don't you all just use 1 account and spare yourself time of registering..since all you sound the same and not seeing faults in this game, it might as well be 1 person..not much difference in the opinion. TheUnknownFactor, how about some downsides? Gameplay: cumbersome movement. attacks/combos don't have much grace in them. Graphics: yes it looks good, but loading times are way too long for the complexity of arenas. well, i talked to some other people online who are "all new players", some have played original omf, some didn't, and of 6 people every single one thought this game was boring. some played 30min, some 2-3hours but it didn't keep them playing beyond that.

ElementFire Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 :greets the community: Obviously, the game has it's downsides, as they have been mentioned. The learning curve is rather steep, as with most fighting games. It is difficult to expect to master a 90-foot tall robot in a matter of hours. :) Agreed, the graphics aren't exactly Half-Life 2 standards, but the developers wanted this game to run on as many systems as possible, while making it as good as it can look. Lately, the entire game engine was revised to make (excellent) use of DirectX 9.0 effects in machines that have compatible video cards (take a look at the updated screenshots section in www.omf.com) :happy: I am not here to force my views or ideals on you; I'm just encouraging you to try the demo when it comes out. This genre-breaking game holds lots of promise. Hoping to see you all in-game soon. Cheers, -Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolfOMF Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 um... I dub thee "Not a Beta Tester." Hey, Sink, congratulations on finding a place where you can vent. Keep puttin' that permission to good use, eh? Man, OMF:BG isn't realistic like MechWarrior. It's a shame people can't learn that it's always the most realistic games that make it big. I mean, just look at Sonic the Hedgehog and all those junky Mario games. Maybe those would have had some promise if they'd been simulations, but they're just so cartoonish and silly... No, OMF:BG isn't realistic. Nothing with giant robots is realistic, but I'll tell you one thing: it's a lot more realistic than Soul Calibur 2, Tekken, Virtua Fighter 4, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, and Battle Arena Toshinden. Why? Simple: you can attack your opponent from any direction, and you aren't restricted to the quaint 1V1. Now granted, 1v1 is loads of fun in OMF, but if that was all it was meant for, Blade Pit and Blast Furnace would be all the arenas the game needs. No, there's a reason for the vast expanses of open space on Mt. Haishiro, the tricky terrain in Arctic Depth, and the vast distances in Dante's Chasm. This game is all about multiplayer, and making sure your hard work wearns its just rewards. There is no way you can do an infinite juggle combo just by spamming your backhand in a Jaguar, and it's not just because after the first hit, the Backhand can't be used in the combo anymore, either. This game is a new experience in almost every way. If you're too much of a pansy to try something new, get back in your cradle. I've introduced only four people to the game. Of the four, three played it. One admitted that he wasn't much more than an FPSer and the game was WAY over his head. The other two, once I gave them a crash course in the art of 3D fighting, had reactions which were little short of "DUDE!!! THIS GAME ROCKS!!!"

Sheep is all ya are... lol Okay I know you could be implying me there since i was one of the person who 'tend' to agree with Mxxcon's views..but if you read my whole post you would notice me stating that I would try the demo nonetheless before drawing a conclusion. And anyways who is to say all the other people to like the game aren't sheeps? Of course not all are. :happy: But what I did state was that my friends who are betatesters for this game aren't quite impressed with the games(btw I did not say the game sucks) Also again I see a negative generalization of the entire community based on replies by some people in a thread :no: I never once mentioned people on OMF's website are fanboys at all.

MxxCon Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 i'm not "anti-OMFer". you giving too much credit to that game. it was uninstalled from my puter and forgot about long time ago. i'm just telling people not to waste their money on this game and instead into something that won't endup in the closet same week they bought it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkaro Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 If you're going to tell them not to buy a game that is such a total piece of **** that needs to be bought only so it could be burnt, tell them not to buy Jedi Academy. Listen, just because you're such a jackass who doesn't like a game that differs from the norm doesn't mean you have to tell everybody else that it's a stupid game that's only worth as much as say..... Mario Bros. for the NES. You seem to be implying that we're all a bunch of dick heads who are trying to praise the most horrible game in the world. In which case, you're the only dick head. Listen, just because you chose not to give a damn about a good game that's worth playing, doesn't mean everybody else in the world will. Listen, grow up, man. Don't try to force your beliefs onto others. Nobody here is giving this game too much credit, but rather you're giving it too little, and unfairly, I might add. Listen, you're entitled to your own opinion, but so is everybody else, and you have no right to be telling these people that the game is no good..... So shut up.

MxxCon Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Listen, QUIT SAYING "LISTEN" I HAVE EVERY ****ING RIGHT TO TELL THEM WHAT I THINK ABOUT ANYTHING! it's their free will trust me, who objectively came to review this game, or you, bunch of fanboys who can't accept that their favorite game is going to bargain bin. if you have problem with that, well, go suck a rock, or better yet, go play omf:bg and release your anger there. however now that i read gamespot's review, this review on your own board among others, and some other reviews i must say that my published review will be right on the spot. also indirectly thanx to hades i also know about very hostile omf:bg community, and new users should be aware of that, since it looks like you will flame and rip apart anybody who says anything short of praising it like it's the best thing since sliced bread. it looks like the only people who'll be playing game will be the ones who managed to spend "30+ hours of required gameplay to realized the greateness of this game" during beta test :rolleyes: and finally, you have no right to be here since the only reason all you ###### joined neowin is to spam about this game! :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Natan Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 I agree with Mxx. It's a clumsy game. The "combo" system feels like a RPG game: Hit once, wait 1 sec., then hit again. It's rediculous. Sinkaro, if you want to compare someone to the nazis, then you should compare youreself! Everyone is entitled to express his thoughts and feelings. If he want's to say to peaople not to buy the game, he has every right to say so. If you want to stop him from expressing himself, then you are the nazi!!!

Sinkaro Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 If you think hitting, waiting a second, then hitting again is a combo, you're too retarded to even play video games. The combos have to be done fast... a second is not fast... Oh, I'm the Nazi? Hmm.. I'm a Nazi for being open-minded, liking a game, thinking that the game is good, thinking that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and shouldn't be told what to do/not do... And MxxCon isn't because he's narrow-minded and wont let anyone make a non-objective opinion, can only focus on the negative aspects of anything and then exaggerates them, and tries to shun away anybody and everybody that has a positive opinion on something that he hates... Gee, yeah, I can see I'm a regular Hitler, and you people are the lords of us all. Oh, how I bow before you. I am indeed humbled by your greatness. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Idiot! I ment that one second is the delay you wait between each punch. Perhaps for you a one second delay is reasonable, but for me that is just clumsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
