How Would You Respond? UPDATE

Some people can't see quality in a game unless it has ground breaking graphics.

It's unfortunate that there are people like this that work at web sites and magazines that review games. I hope he doesn't get a say in any SEV review. Calling a game weak becaus it doesn't suit your taste is quite unprofessional, espcialy for an online gaming magazine(or whatever they are).

"Expert flyer and fighter"

LOL that's the problem he is an exper "lone wolf' not a good command mentality there.

If you prefer simply flying and fighting you wouldn't make a good Ruler because you'd get bored with all that damned time of peace and travel and exploration bleeek.

LOL Although I LOVE "expert" yet we are geeks because we are "expert rulers" instead of simply "bash em beat um club em bite em." types

Besides most people who use the term "expert flyer and fighter" generally mean THEY just *** camp and snipe at people respawning OR THEY wait for noobies to come onto a server and just stalk them around and shoot them repeatedly.

I mean if you have EVER played a multi-player FPS or Star Wars Jedi Knight game you'll know that most of the experts are laming little turdsacks that don't use skill to win.

Delta force comes to mind with the freakin Grenade spammers, OF COURSE you'll kill twenty people in a row when you just spam high explosive grenade launchers at the enemy spawn point lol. What takes skill is when you go with a short range G-11 and OWN those bastards with the grenade launchers! (sorry flashbacks to when I had nothing but my G-11 and a K-bar lol)

Anyway yeah this guy is either to dumb to realize he has the wrong genre or too much of a "bash em, beat em, club em, bite em" mentality to realize finesse and strategy can be fun too.

This person has obviously never actually played the game, if you want my honest oppinion, and please read right to the end before you judge!

I love strategy games and I love space or futuristic games, I was looking everywhere for really good game, I have been playing and love the X series of games for ages (www.egosoft.com) I had just heard of Space Empires 4.

I looked everywhere in shops, and could not find it ANYWHERE (UK), I did the only thing I could think of, Download it, (by now I am fed up of demos that do not give good impressions of games),

I tried going in to the game about 4 times in total, but each time I got fed up after about 5 mins thinking that it is boring, all the icons are very overwhealming, and I can tell you for sure that the tutorial is very very long and after reading 4 pages, you get a little board!

I thought that there must be more to this game, and then I descided I would try and actually get in to it, I played one game in full, and I LOVED IT! when you start off and the best you can do is make a simple ship that has basic weapons, you guess it can only get better weapons and range e.t.c. but then when you play for longer and get new techs like steller manipulations, it certainly adds loads to your game.

After playing one more game, I knew this was the game for me, and I immediatly purchased the game, and I just could not get enough of it!

It is now one of the best game I have ever played with so much depth, and I just love it! personally I spend to much time on it, what I do is leave the game on when I am at my pc, and just do turns whilst in between work, like every 30 mins, or at weekends only, you really need to discipline yourself to only do it at certain times or you spend for to much time.

This game a I said really is good, the best infact, but if you have never played it, it can look bad and very overcomplicated. When you give it time, that is when you can enjoy it, If you only play it for 2 mins and make a judgement, you really are not giving a honest review
