| Great game that unfortunately - like Tharsis - is going to get savaged on Steam because so many of the customers on Steam are idiots.
The developers initially locked some controls and unlocked them by having you play a series of games in Story Mode that introduced the controls. 90% of their customers (and I want to stress this is a $12 game) wanted them to basically port whatever shitty EA Sports hockey game they last played to the PC. They did not do this. You're going to read a lot of bullshit about the game if you look at the forum for it. There's two legitimate issues: 1) No one-timers 2) Sometimes your CPU-controlled guys don't move towards the puck when the puck is just sort of sitting there Other than that, pretty much everything that is being complained about is bullshit. A lot of people whining about "laggy" play, but I am telling you, I have the worst computer of anyone at Caltrops and the thing is flawless. The devs changed the game with a patch to immediately unlock controls. I kind of liked that, for the first time in 30 years of playing hockey computer games, I had a crappy, underpowered hockey team that couldn't do anything at first. The classic "bad computer hockey team" is the Ottawa Senators in like NHL 92 or 93. Before Yashin arrived. You could still score 100% of the time if you deked left and shot right. In Old Time Hockey (in story mode) (before the patch) you have a team that is legitimately bad because they couldn't poke check or cross check for the first game. That's amazing. It's daring! They got savaged for it in the Steam ratings. Steam is so so so very terrible for anyone trying something new. It is an absolute pox on innovation attempts. I need to stress that it's $12. A guy named Clone wrote the following manifesto about a game that was twelve bucks that he also got a refund for: Clone Mar 29 @ 12:29am Can you imagine such entitlement over a $12 game? I paid $150 for Elite and pinback and I couldn't find each other a year after release, I didn't complain about it anywhere but a post here. (Where, frankly, there is no chance of Braben coming within a million hops of it.) What a bunch of fucking babies. 
It's a great game. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! |

Great game. by 04/01/2017, 12:01pm PDT  The way some of the Steam forum trash act is singularly incredible. by 04/02/2017, 12:45pm PDT Assholishness aside - are they valid complaints? NT by 04/03/2017, 1:45pm PDT Re: Assholishness aside - are they valid complaints? by 04/03/2017, 5:39pm PDT |
