  1. P.S. This is a strange comparison to draw ... but I am sinking A LOT of time into DCS Black Shark at the moment. If whining little girlie men complain about the complexity of your imagination, then they should jump into something like that puppy and their nappies would melt. Makes me proud to know that I can fly it quite well though, thanks to all those years of Microprose and Janes .... and 3000ad :-)

    I jump into AoA to give myself a break from the chopper, and for the rush. I really meant what I said in my review .... in some ways your night / day / lighting / ground geometry mapping engines rival even that title .... but the attention to detail is staggering.

    Have you had a look at it?

  2. /ON

    Badman paused after his question .... long enough for several deep breaths, long enough for the seed of reply to germinate like a visceral and palpable lesion; then blurted, seemingly without intent, "YOU WILL FEAR WHAT I HARBOUR".

    /OFF

  3. TBear, I love your attitude ..... that's the sort of gamer that really gets this stuff.

    I really do suggest having a go at Echo Squad, It'll give you some good training and insight into the AI behaviour to have your guys "on your wing" all the time ....... AND IT'S GOT COCKPITS for all 4 fighters (I know, I know, I must get over that).

    Then .... to really flesh it all out ..... grab All Aspect Warfare or Angle of Attack, depending on your preference ..... even just to see where the graphics engines are heading .... astounding.

    .... we need more like you.

  4. /ON

    ".... and with my past washed clean, I will fight for the man that jingles the loudest purse, or, if honour and truth are still respected, then I will fight for a cause .... or love. That is, if a man can still make a living from his sweat and blood.", replied Badman, standing firm and powerful, yet with a subtle hue of pain and loss etched into the very space around him.

    "I still do not know exactly where I am, nor can I comprehend all this. All I know is that I am conscious and sane, therefore I must trust my senses.". Badman eyed each of the party, as if measuring them, 'acquiring a lock' as he had heard one of the young men say.

    "OK no-name, I have heard tell of this 'Ragnarok' that you uttered, and I am told that is where I was first discovered, naked and unconscious in a place where people gather to eat.", he said with a slight grin, "What do you propose?".

    /OFF

  5. I posted a review on the BLOG :-), but just noticed that I spelt "find", "fined" ..... can you fix it? (looks weird and very out of context)

    Also, the way I've written the score looks like a negative (-) ..... now that would suck! Can you fix that too?

    P.S. I've found a way to leave the planet .................................. fire up Echo Squad :-)))))))))))))

    P.S.S ... I did notice in an early demo that SHIFT-9 let me leave the planet ........................ to almost "Dead Space".

  6. Got to the end, disarmed R.A.N.D.O.M; but I actually wanted to leave the planet ... never mind, I kicked ass :-)

    Couldn't figure out what to do with the Intrepid to do the V-Band comms, tried tractor beam etc.

    BUT ... DONE :-)

    P.S. Got to watch the Sun come up sitting on top of a tower after I jet-packed to a nice spot; with my team (and a few stragglers) down below.

  7. [RP ON]

    "My name is Craigudus Badmanidus, but my friends call me Badman. Once General of the Athieo-Christo rebellion. Two weeks ago I metaphorically and spiritually died after fulfilling my bargain with the Universe. Instead of the promised and foretold Nirvana, and denied of my true fate, was ripped asunder by the 'Dark eye of the Lion Spirit', to awake on a cold, hard surface; very VERY far from home......", "And wipe that sarcastic smile off your face, I am not delusional, for you do know me, and WILL fear what I harbour."

    [RP OFF]

    I love making people think ... and create ... if this is too ambiguous I can always make this more directly relate to the current RP, I just though a fresh perspective (trip) would be fun. :-)

  8. AAW - REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY Enjoying it.

    MZM04, ~23000xp and 27 kills.

    Spoiler alert for mission 1 .......

    I have just followed my gut so far, got through first mission by louring remaining enemy off a cliff, had my boys start the descent first which I managed to escape cos' I jumped back in the ACAV, buggered off around the back of everyone as they were all doing a slow controlled slide into the canyon shooting everything to hell, pinched the Shuttle, did some awesome stunt flying (even if I do say so myself) to pick up my boys in a heated Vietnam style extraction, then buggered off down the canyon and FLEW to Alpha with the Jammer ON and flying under radar.

    I've since read on the blog that I could / should have gone to Delta first, but I was winging it, so to speak, and it just goes to show the free-form nature of this game.

    Felt very real, some "distinctively familiar" behaviour from the AI :-) ...... all in all VERY SATISFYING.

    Now I'm at about 1:00am in game, very eagerly awaiting the sun to come up so I can see the pretty light show, obviously I will hide somewhere "safe" for this purpose. Screenshot time (I wish).
