seen. Alot of good architecture(especially
in the third level). I didn't like some the
texturing though.
the third level was kind of hard. I was running back and forth shooting and slashing everything looking for a passage.
I am downloading part 2 now. Can't wait to try it.
DaMaster: Tell me where you are and I'll tell you how to do whatever you need to.
WELL DONE CRIS SWAN
There's lots of things in there that you have completely misjudged, fabricated and have got wrong.
People can judge for themselves whether to download this level or not by taking all the comments into account, not just yours, so I will say no more and let this be the end of it.
"Due to the author's continued verbal abuse against me"
- You call my asking you to remove your original abusive comments verbal abuse? Hmmmm.......
"the first cutscene shows the Moldy Crow fly at a ugly giant box, and then another Moldy Crow appears and blows up for no reason"
- It crashes into a cliff! And it's not the Moldy Crow anyway.
"and the pilot falls into some water wehre he manages to impersonate Christ and walk away to safety"
- This is blasphemy, not to mention totally wrong. He does NOT survive, he falls in a river and dies. How you missed that is beyond me.
"Once into actual gameplay, you experience giant boxes tilted at different angles"
- This is totally fabricated. There is absolutely no evidence of boxes tilted at different angles.
"killing strangly placed enemies who shoot themselves more than you"
- What are you on about? Of course they don't shoot themselves.
"Finally you get into the pirate base made of ugly boxes connected to boxs by boxs with hundreds of enemies in-between"
- Ummmmmm... No. Just no. There's not even a hundred enemies in the whole level and you never fight more than about six at maximum simultaneously!
"Finally, you get into the throne room with annoying music, 4 clones of that insane Boc"
- No. They are not clones of Boc.
"and a super (and ugly) Gamorrean which you can kill with your fists"
- Ugly? Have you ever seen an attractive one? As for the comment about killing it with the fists, of course you can! You can kill almost any enemy in the game with fists! So what's your point?
"Then comes another, longer, uglier cutscene in which pirates and stormtroopers fight continuously"
- Utterly fabricated again. Two pirates kill two stormtroopers. With a single shot.
"and rail-charge laden stormtroopers fire aimlessly across the sky."
- They fire at a bridge!
"Then, after running, and shooting through dozens more boxes, you must cross a box-looking canyon with no possible way of crossing...BUT YOU DO!"
- Of course it's possible to cross it, because you do! It's not like you miraculously appear on the other side or anything. I don't see what you're getting at.
"There you are captured by about 1/1000000000 the amount of enemies you find in any other box"
- That is the most ridiculous statement of all, and is obviously totally fabricated, just like the rest. At NO TIME do you EVER fight ANYWHERE NEAR the amount of enemies that capture you.
"and then there's that really annoying 3 year old voice-over."
- As for that, I've no idea what you're on about. There are no custom voices in TNE1, so I don't see how you heard anything like that.
If you're going to give me negative feedback, at least tell the truth. Most of what you have said is completely false.
Level Gameplay: Basicly you spend more time fighting mutants in caves or sewage systems than you do pirates or Imperials.You get about 20 minutes of gameplay filled with 10 minutes of cutscenes that are mediocore in my opinion. Puzzles are either to simple, or impossible because there's no light.
Overall: Simply put, the New Empire offers nothing new in gameplay, or features. Added to poor architecture and unneccesaryily boring cutscenes, I was left with an overall sense of wasting my time. If anyone is reading this review, this isn't worth the time it takes to download it.
Anyway, there were some intriging parts. I *hated* the mutated Gran monsters. Not that they were a bad idea...I just couldn't stand them. Lots of water monsters, that was a challenge.
And actually, everyone says it's nearly impossible to finish the third part, and it is, but it's my favorite part because it's so ingenius. I actually couldn't figure it out, so, using the fly cheat, I flew to where I was sposed to end up, then traced the route backwards...very well thought out! :)
Not that I would call this a perfect level, it had a lot of flaws, but no reason to flame or anything. Swan, are you going to make the rest of the series? I only see 1 and 2 here (downloading 2 now, though I think I've played parts of it before)
Update: After reading the walkthrough at TACC, I guess you need to be *inside* the room with the kell when you kill it, in order for the door to open. I stayed safely outside the room while I killed it, and the door did not open.
