Review of ToS on Gamezone
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2003 2:33 am
I just found a review of this game where the reviewer apparently can't understand the fact that when the people in his unit die they can't fight anymore. Get this:
"[font=Arial]The only thing that I feel could have been changed is in a no-forgiveness kind of “once you’ve started, that’s it” kind of thing. For example, I started a game and my lone Titan pretty much got slaughtered, so I figured that I would quit and head back to make some alterations and try again. Well, I went in and found that my pilot was listed as “MIA”, and I had to recall him which cost money.[/font]"
It's about time that gamers and reviewers realised that death is a kinda 'final' thing (unless you're playing a vampire game). Finally game designers are making games that reward a realistic conservative playstyle, and this reviewer just can't deal with it.
