Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!
Okay I quit for now. I've spent the last several hours trying to fall in love with the game but the interface is killing me. I am bitterly disappointed having played SEIV from almost the start right up til now thanks to mods like Star Trek, Devnull and Adamant. I had a lot of hope invested in five but what's done right is hidden behind multiple layers of frustration. To me there are some really obvious ways the interface could be fixed but if months of beta-testing hasn't turned this up then I'm not hopeful it's going to change. Let's face it there were things we didn't like about four that never got an official nod.
Get the interface right. It's basic. Being happy you can change some column settings is not, to me, an alternative to having the right column settings in the first place. And that's not even going back to the system display which is just horribly flawed - like we meet up to play a game of chess and I balance the board on a tennis ball. For kicks. I gotta eff off for now because I'm getting pissed off again. This game if released as is will be savaged by independent reviewers. So if you're not getting new players and you're losing old players like me then all you have left are the dedicated fans who can see no evil. How did you manage a year of beta-testing without fixing the system display?
See? Angry. Gone for a bit.
