Space Empires is not really a good game for shoot em up type people to play. Reference my brother. He got bored after the first ten minutes because he didn't get to shoot or blow up anything.

No offense but I call this the eight year old syndrom.

Hey wilhil, I think I saw a post of yours at the egosoft forums a couple days ago! Do you go by wilhil there too? Can't wait for X3 to arrive! (later release in North America...

)

wilhil · #5 November 2nd, 2005, 02:37 AM

yeah, I go by that on every site I am a member of, and I should be the only one! my Name is WILliam HILsum and I just like that AKA!

I have been a xer from the X-BTF days years ago! but I will be waiting for the USA release this time, on x2 starforce messed my pc up.

I used to be on the egosoft forums all the time (check my profile there and date joined

!) but about a year ago I moved and hang out with people with intrests in one of my jobs (programming) at gamedev.net I enjoy it there more because I find that egosoft forum admins are a bit to lock happy!

lol Yeah that guy probobly didn't play at all if he's dumb enough to mention POINTS lol where the hell be the points I want some!

Give me nine hundred I'll put them in front pocket and impress the ladies with my POINTS heheh

As far as X goes I played X2 for a bit and so far got bored rather quick since it takes TOO DANG LONG to get any money with which to expand and the dang Khaak keep blowing my transports out of President's End and yet the stupid trannies keep going back there instead of AROUND IT grrrrrr.

Oh and the AI is completely retarded and constantly spins the ship your firing at STREIGHT INTO ME lol I mean yeah bub that's a great tactic your getting shot just ram me lol

I got two responses on the 12th of this month.

RE: Space Empires iV
Feel sorry for yourself that you people are in a miniscule minority. There are thousands like me who started playing space strategy games before 3D graphics were available. Your game turns us off, it has little depth much like you.

RE: Space Empires iV
Sorry, I remarked about the wrong game. I was talking about Galactic Empires and got the name wrong. You have a great game. I have asked gamespot to revoke my rating
with regrets

I guess now that SEIV has been around for FIVE, yes count them, FIVE years, and is due to be re-released in stores, the game has earned its crediblity. Largely in part to the fans, Shrapnel Games, and mostly Aaron's insightful design.

I am glad he found the error in his judgement of SEIV. It is sad he had to resort to insulting you/ us because we find SEIV a stimulating game. Oh well. It does make one feel better that he probably feels like a putz. I may disagree with his entertainment choices, but I surely would not call him shallow because of his choices. I know lots of intellegent and very deep people that enjoy very simple games. It allows them not to have to over think because that is what they do all the time. Glad this situation is solved. :} Atrocities 1 : Obnoxious Guy 0

I agree. I told him it was ok, a lot of people make that mistake...?

Thermodyne · #10 November 18th, 2005, 12:22 PM

LOL, once he got the game name right, his review was right on the mark.
