View Poll Results: Which best defines your SE:V feelings based on the Demo?
|
|
SE:V is not ready to be sold. It needs a lot more work to be ready. Selling it now would do more harm than good for customer relations and hurt the overall success. I am willing to wait for a more refined product.

SE:V should not be sold in its current state but could do ok on the market if released now. I'd still rather wait for a more refined game.

SE:V could be sold now with moderate success. Based on Malfador's history of product support, patches will be issued. But I'm worried about the chances of improving the UI with patches. I'd wait to release.

I'm pretty happy with the current state of SE:V. Based on the Demo, it should be sold soon. If patches are released or not, it's a pretty good game. I'm anxious to get the game soon, release it now.

I think the game is good as it stands. I think the issues being raised are minor and can pretty easily be addressed in game as it stands. Most games have minor issues and I'm not complaining. Send it out!

I am completely satisfied with SE:V based on the demo. I don't care if patches are ever released. I don't think the issues being raised by a small number of people represent the silent majority of potential customers. I am very anxious to get this game

The forums that were SEIV when SEIV sold here, and has all the SEIV information archived, should be the ones that move to a new location? I have no problem with an SEV forum being created here but I dont think the SEIV conversations moving is a good idea.

He wasn't suggesting moving the archived information. He said if you want to visit a forum that is devoted to SEIV and only SEIV, there are places you can go for that already, that don't require change here. As was already noted, this was a plug on Fyron's part; although on the subtlety part, I think it has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the skull, but that's just me

I'd prefer limited fog of war. You enter a system and know where the planets are, but don't know exactly what their characteristics are until you fly closer.

You're right, that would be a great way to do it. It would give you a vague idea of the makeup of the system and let you know where to send scouts, but still maintain the foggy nature. |

what I like about the SE forums at Shrapnel, is that the decent folk here dont participate in mudslinging. Especially after cooler heads have defused the issue...

You are correct. I apologize.

Re: SE:V Poll
I voted for the second option on each when I voted on the poll, but after spending more time with the demo I'm growing more and more tempted to do the pre-order thing.

I think its really amusing that "SEV should not be released right now" and "Yes, I'd buy it based on the demo" are leading their catagories. 
|
In other words what "they" are saying is "Love the idea, sounds great, but needs a good deal more polishing before I plunk down my money"
I have to say from all of my readings here I am moving towards this camp - and I really don't want to. But I am growing more and more concerned about what I will be getting for my $. I've had SEIV since it came out, never played the series before that. Very impressive, great support - but I am very concerned about the comments from some of the longer-time players who I understand to be saying that the UI is dodgy, etc. I have little doubt about the richness of the game under the hood - but if it is a click-fest and hard to work with, then that diminishes it overall from my perspective. But I haven't been able to successfully download the demo yet, so I am depending wholly on what I read. |

The UI took some getting used to since I've had my face buried in the SEIV UI for 6 years. Once I figured out how to customize it, I LOVE it. I love the little flags over the 3d objects (once I made them smaller).
Now that I am used to the interface, I've tried playing a game of SEIV and SEV is clearly better imho.
I'd get it downloaded, expect a bit of a learning curve, then decide for yourself. Some of the screaming and crying here has been way out of proportion to the actual difficulty of 1. learning the new UI and 2. customizing the UI. Upgrades could be made to it, but its not as bad as people have made it out to be, so you'll have to see for yourself. |

Re: SE:V Poll
I'll be taking a "wait and see" attitude with SEV. The demo's not bad, but it's not drawing me in the way SEIV did at first. Of course, SEIV was really the first 4x space game I had really ever played, so there was a whole "newness" to the experience that isn't present with the SEV demo for me.
I'm sure I'll buy it eventually, but I'm not in any rush.
