Absolute crap...

[Archived Post]

This game is just crap, honestly. I should have guessed when I saw Atari involved - Atari lost it's edge back in the early '80's when it lost David Crane. Seriously, the gameplay is rugged, at best. The controls are junk and entirely inconsistant. Biggest waste of 50.00 I've ever spent - no wonder I couldn't find a trial anywhere - Atari / Cryptic needed the dough. I won't be renewing - that's for sure. What a joke. What was it, a bunch of art school and junior college grads intern at Atari and decide to make a game? What a terrible game....

At least know what you're talking about. The current Atari has little to nothing to do with the original Atari.

Hehe I do like the statement of no wonder there isn't a free trial, after the first month. I don't recall a single game that put upa free trial before 6 months, and most wasn't tilla fter the first year. Hell I think WoW didn't start free trials till TBC was announced. That was two years later.

Hmm, so you already had a feeling BEFORE you bought the game that it was going to be a letdown, yet you bought it anyway. And now, when your suspicions are confirmed, you blame the makers? That's like going to see a movie that has had tons of bad reviews, and then complain because the movie sucked. I think we can all see who's to 'blame' here.

9/10

This post has all the anger and bitterness I expect from an "I quit" post, but it's also got that extra twist of funny that makes it entertaining.

I agree with this statement.... It's only been one month.. any game I have wanted to try still didn't have a free trial until nearly 6 months later atleast...

I was going to give it a 10/10 for the extra sprinkling of ignorance. It just gave it that extra 'zing' I like so much.

1. kan i haz ur stuffs
2. ur interwebzor is gr8
3.considering just about everyone here is enjoying the game, what did yo hope to accomplish by gracing us with your very witty and well thought out review?
we await your reply.

[Archived Post]

Ok... 1) If your leaving why tell us 2) Atari didn't have any hand in this game besides distributing it 3) The modern Atari is Infogrames using the Atari name, the original folded in the 80s and had nothing to do with this company and 4) Can I have your stuff? :D

Oh great post though :rolleyes:

Actually yes, but so what? They shot for the sky and made an effort; they did something pretty massive that few can claim to be a part of. Yay for hard work and effort versus whining about not winning the lottery?

The devs are crushed that CO is not loved by Smackbutt.

Wow, OP....no offense, but you're SUPER ignorant....is that one of the Framework Talents?

whoa WHOA.

A Champions Online game made by David Crane when the old Atari was "good" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial_%28video_game%29)'?

*Looks at Signature*

Hmm. This can only end well.

Well, I can say one thing for 'Smackbutt'... he was able to pick a thread title that accurately described the content of his post. A lot of people come up with some pretty mysterious titles, but his very succinctly tells you just what you'll be seeing if you read it...bravo.

The username, though... that is kind of misleading. I mean, he essentially chooses to call himself 'Butt kisser' but then uses it for a ragequit thread that is way off the scale for embarrassing and awkward. Maybe it is one of those post-modern, ironic things...

The game is not 'absolute crap' as you describe it. Its actually just not your flavor.
To bad it cost you $50.00 to discover it was was not your kind of game. So, I can understand your anger.

But really, it a matter of tastes. Some men prefer blondes, some men prefer brunettes, ect. If you like Rocky Road ice cream more then Strawberry, it does not mean there is something wrong with Strawberry, it just means you enjoy Rocky Road better.

Labeling the game as 'absolute crap' just because it does not suit your gaming needs is arrogant.

HAHAHAHA! Wait, you actually think that's the same Atari? Oh man, that's rich. Oh geeze, seriously, you know that much about Atari then but you don't know about today's Atari now? Let me fill you in.

Atari then was an American corporation.

Atari now is just Infogrames with the Atari name and logo. Infogrames is French.

Seriously, your logic is flawed. It's like going "Why should I buy a video game system made by Nintendo? They made playing cards and pool tables and failed. Both of which are shady and associated with crime and gambling. I don't want my kids becoming gamblers, so they can't play Nintendo."

Or how about this: Nokia stinks. I should have known their phones stink. Never trust a 19th century Finnish woodchip and paper company to make a 21st century cellphone.

We've gone way back.

All I can say to your departure is..

Thank you for you feedback, I understand.

This game is just crap, honestly. I should have guessed when I saw Atari involved - Atari lost it's edge back in the early '80's when it lost David Crane. Seriously, the gameplay is rugged, at best. ThNow, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there're prissy, bourgeois and all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Nah forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air


I'm sorry, what? I started humming a tune halfway through your whine.

I will close this thread due to the lack of actual feedback and basis for discussion.
