Since BTAxis has already apologised, I will also apologise to BTAxis and all others involved for the use of provocative language.
Some points to clarify here:
I reread the post and realised what he meant - that the team should not be focusing on 3D and instead on the gameplay and 'other areas'..... my bad.
My intention in this post is not to criticise UFOAI as a bad game. In fact, I have even posted in StrategyCore forum about how this game looks good. What I wanted to bring up for discussion was why other XCom clones have failed, and how can UFOAI not make the same mistakes. The part about "concentrating on 3D" was a general comment on the failure of XCom clones, not just directed at UFOAI. Somehow the comment was misintepreted as an attack on UFOAI. I have no reason to do that, as I am not creating a rival game to compete with UFOAI.
FYI, he IS the admin. i.e. He can simply Shut U Up and PBan u from forum.
I know that, but I have never encountered such an aggressive admin before (no offence intended).
On this point, probably becos of the fact u r new, u should know that there is such a thing as strategy. U CAN escape, just depending on your distance on the nearest base. (Btw, i do not even know the version of the UFOAI u r running..... and the OS you are running this on).
I am running the latest stable version 2.2.1 I think. What strategy can I use if the first ship from my first base gets attacked on the way back from a successful mission on the other side of the globe? It's back to square one instantly. I have already lost 2 ships just doing maybe 5 missions.
Certainly this is better than XCOM in many ways:
1) It is 3D engine.
3) This IS FREEWARE and OPEN SOURCE and NOT commercial. Hence, its is TONS better.
These 2 points I do not agree with. 3D alone doesn't mean better, 2D graphics may work better sometimes. Of course if it can be done in 3D, more power to you.
Freeware alone also doesn't mean better. In terms of cost of game, it's better. But a freeware game that nobody plays is not better than a commercial game.
Again, this is just for discussion. Don't go overboard treating every single comment as an attack on UFOAI.
And btw, more DOES means better (most of the time). Let me ask u, if XCOM1 turns 3d, becomes better graphics, better music, allows longer better storyline, have more research and have options to conquer alien's homeworld, is it not going to be better?
This is a misconception. As an analogy, a hit 2hour-length movie may end up ruined if extra scenes are added till it becomes a draggy 4hour movie. Similarly, overdoing the features may end up ruining the perfect balance of the game.
Dun stereotype ppl is the lesson to be learnt here.
Yes, I agree. Don't stereotype every comment as an attack on UFOAI.
And as for u, back to the last comment from u..... seriously, quoting yourself, i think 'you sound like a teenager by your use of language' too..... honestly. Hence, do take up some public relations lessons too yourself ok?
The teenagers in your country have such a high standard of English? Which country are you from?
My public relations lessons all went down the drain after being pissed off by BTAxis. But I am not angry with BTAxis now.
