The Ship free weekend is over - will you buy?

[Operational]

Now that The Ship free weekend is over (well almost) - will you buy?

Personally, no I won't. I gave it a good go, won some games and got some fun out of it but its not worth my hard earned. It wasn't as strategic/tactical as I was hoping when I read about it (I pictured something in the vein of NOLF). Most of the game was navigating (find a good weapon, find a place to eat/sleep/crap/etc, find your target) on the ship at an excruciatingly slow walking pace.

But thats just me - what did everybody else think?

 

[Qonfused]

Well, the only reason I would buy it would be to play something different every once in a while. It's a good game and all but it feels awkward to play.

 

[Raziaar]

No, I will not buy it unfortunately. Didn't have enough appeal for me.

 

[PanzerSmurf]

No, unfortunately it wasn't my cup of tea.

 

[Uriel]

Absoultely not

I bought it on release, and I think it was a good buy.

Played this free weekend and it was atrocious. For any borderline people, you should know that it is a much better game with less free-weekend trial newbies. Elimination (the best gametype for strategy) between genuinely skilled players is a blast.

I'm sure you all noticed the zounds of people running around with fireaxes? These are what we call newbs. You do not win, and in fact hurt yourself, by killing with a fireaxe. (Assuming somehow it is actually on the MFK list) I say you hurt yourself because if you are close enough to axe someone, you are close enough to use a weapon with some value. Good players only use the axe for self-defense, as it is generally a one hit kill and fast.

It's not really over (if you're serious), still what... 16 hours if they end on schedule.

 

[Beerdude26]

You daft, it's 5 AM here, not going to install it now

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

maybe if the price go downs...

 

[Darkside55]

Good idea, bad execution. Will not be buying.

 

[CyberPitz]

Good idea, bad execution. Will not be buying.

Exactly my stand point.

 

[Mattigus]

id buy it if it didnt crash my machine

 

[MorganFreeman911]

I could NEVER FIND ANY DAMN GUNS so I had to use that fire axe repeatidly.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I really think it could've had better graphics (and player models) than it did, also the choice of it being a ship was kinda WTFish; now an island, that I could go for...well probably not, still doesn't sound appealing to me, unless a game such greater caliber than I'm thinking could convince me otherwise.

 

[Asuka]

Not really my kind of game. So no.

 

[VortigauntLover]

My cousin was the one who tried it...I didn't.

It looked pretty fun though.
Running around and sneaking up on people with fireaxes.

 

[TwwIX]

no.
they would've had more success as a mod if u ask me.
the simish game play elements just don't appeal to me.
