Press and Reviews Thread

Have you sent one to Yahtzee?

We are brave and we are confident they'll like it because the game is good

Yes we do sent one to them, we'll see how it goes, fingers crossed

If he takes the time to play it I'm pretty sure he'll give this a good review, potentially some VERY good publicity there. Fingers crossed. =)

Ah those super silly TV shows at very late night ...

I think that "Fist of the Zen" was the most stupid anyway

When are we likely to start seeing reviews from the main mags (both online and printed)?

[Jamesac]

I'm hoping to have my review written tomorrow night. It would have been today but my schedule fell apart, plus I only got it last Tuesday. Been playing it ever since, even when I meant to be doing other things on the PC. It just loads up so quick it's tough not to.

Well .. we started "quite in advance" sending materials to them "to the infinity and beyond" and we are still sending stuff

We certainly did not stop ( as Yak said yesterday "the volume of work just shifted from one kind of work to another" ) to do
stuff to promote GR Rev around and Press Packages are still being made and sent around

We are still working literally day & night on this

[IronGiant]

Cool. I for one am awaiting the 'main' reviews with great anticipation, as I'm sure you are!

I just found this one

"bwah, it's too easy", says: http://oc-gamer.moobaa.com/?p=299

...which I think entirely misses the point of working to get good scores instead of just survive.

Hummmmm ...

"Old Skool ( or better 'generation' ) Arcade Gamers" know that "a game is ALL about the score", I mean where you want
to be is the top score on the board.

I guess that maybe for "The FPS Generation" where in many cases "score does not exist, only progress" the idea of
"look, it's not a matter about what level you reached ONLY, it's a matter of SCORE" maybe sounds "not so immediate"

But then again .. would you prefer a game where after 10 levels or less begins to kick your arse so hard that "you can't
see a shite of anything else until you progressed further" ?

I find those games really a bit "frustrating".

OH DEAR


Minter's affection for sheep and other furry quadrupeds is most evident in the new game, along with the Wales-based entrepreneur's increasing contempt for the Church of Scientology.

That article is by moobaa, a member of YakYak back in the good old days.

moobs isn't a 12 year old Halo player, he just loves a very difficult game and spends many hours getting as much from it as possible, hence the OCD report.

He's also very good at games, almost on a par with Sickboy, so probably does feel that the lower levels of the game are 'beneath' his skills.

When I was at his home down under and saw how easily he completed level 64 of Space Giraffe, I can see now how he'd find GRR a bit of a non-event.

We've already had a complaint about GRR being a bit hard on players (loss of favourite ship), so I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time.

[gilesgoat]

Obiviously, he hasn't tried Vindaloo and Phaal modes then ?

[gravy]

I think he's completed it

Make a game difficult and get slammed for being "unaccessible".

Compromise a little by making the next game more accessible, and you get slammed for not being hard enough.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't
