My UFO: Alien Invasion review

<< < (4/5) > >>

domanz:
A game such as that will be additionally included in the collectors edition.

Ildamos:
Hello it has been a while. I got held up by the dayjob.

Thank you to Mattn for featuring my review. A thank you article was in order so I made one:

--- Quote ---It looks like your review is based on the 2 years old 2.3.1 version? ;) Anyway nice review you wrote although iam a bit sad it doesnt feature the whole new sfx & revisted music play list i contributed to this project for 2.4. :D We also fixed some of the things you criticise, like the weapon sfx for the aircrafts.

Sorry about releasing a review prematurely but that was kind of intentional. This way with each new release, I could then make another article about UFO: AI's new features. I will play 2.5 don't worry. (If you have your own site I could even link to it and mention you as one of the primary audio creators. My website's definitely not IGN but hey, every little bit helps.  ;D)


--- Quote ---YES! In this case, I consider best was system featured in X-COM:Apocalypse, with each solder having it's personal equipment and teams being created from independently equiped soldiers..

I agree... But I must admit, that sniping ET's in parking lot in "bigcity" map isn't very exciting...

Glad you agree. There are some aspects in the game I found cumbersome (but overall they were minor flaws compared to the whole picture).

The sniping bits in BigCity was actually fun for me ---- it was tense seeing who would keel over first under a sustained barrage haha! What kills BigCity for me is the inevitable "Indian Pass-Thermopylae" action within the edifice. Though it's a nice diversion from the other maps. I just wish aliens would pop up in the landing area once in a while though.


--- Quote ---Personally I think it may be better to allow players to make equipment templates for soldiers. They could then select a default template for each soldier, which would make it easier to change their gear.

Nice!



--- Quote ---Well the design is obviously taken over from halo - no question. ;) Maybe someday someone will do a new model *me looks at trashman* :D Probably a design similar to the ship design is a good idea (claw look).

--- End quote ---

It does. Even the wife and several visitors  commented "Halo!" when she saw the weapon.



--- Quote ---Meh...guns.. They must have the same funcitions, and thus, any gun you design will resemble SOME other gun out there.
Best not pay it any attention, as it doesn't deserve any.
--- End quote ---

I could help out. But I can't do 3D stuff. T_T I think I have an Ortnok design in the Art section somewhere... I stopped as one of the devs said they will have difficulty translating my design into 3D. I think that was the time before Sitters. I'm not really sure though. It was too far back.


Thanks to those who read the review! Very much appreciated!

IMBACORE:
So sorry for necroing this thread but I found out my account had been deactivated due to inactivity. Ildamos here, and this is my new UFO: AI forum account.

TallTroll:
I see the SEO-friendly copy there (well done). As a bonus, did you know that SEs see image alt text as relevant on-page text too, and in the case of image anchors treat it as anchor text?

Gdamn, guilty as charged. I'm going to edit all those repetitive keywords out. Because you know, Penguin and Panda.

But do read the review, aside from the keywords, I did pour my heart into that article. I tried to be as objective as possible too. (In fact I hit the game for its plasma rifles. So Halo. :D)
