Man, I wish that somehow broadband signals weren't affected by our #1 nemesis... gravity! The signal starts to go up the hill, slows to a stop and rolls back down!
It is a shame to be sure. But when you consider all the deep and thought provoking discussions that our World Wide Web has had shared on it, is it any wonder that it's too heavy for broadband to handle?
I just received an email (well, actually two) from Brandon so my order is ok, like I suspected. I'm personally very happy that they produced this game for us to enjoy and look forward to actually playing it.
To people who have played this -- honestly, how well does it stack up against the Phantasy Star series (which seems like the most obvious point of comparison on the Genesis)?
look, i love the fact that a company is producing 'new' games for the console ( ideally proper new games would be better) , however i've come to the conclusion that i've been totally spoiled by pier solar. the quality of that wont ever be surpassed, its an absolute triumph and the overall quality of this SO game i've received is around 20% as good. And thats being a little too easy on it
honestly though, maybe i just got a bad copy of it but the box is deformed, cracked and the plastic sheeting isnt even stuck on properly.
my expectations were just too high
Anyone still waiting who ordered the game in June? I've got a confirmation email but nothing about shipping.
ordered mine on june 26 nothing has come yet.Quote:

I ordered mine in June or July and I am still waiting too. I don't mind waiting at all, as long as a have the game one day (soon hopefully) :) I feel better knowing that I am not alone.
I ordered in late June and I've basically resigned myself to the idea that I won't be getting it soon. Whenever it gets to me, I guess it'll be a nice little surprise.
Dude keep the negativity about Star Odyssey out of the official thread for out of respect. Your comparing a 1989 game to a 2010 gameQuote:

Actually, this thread is for positive and negative comments, not just a bunch of ass kissing. If someone doesn't like the game, they're perfectly free to come in and say why (hopefully without being inflammatory).Quote:

finally got round to starting to play this last night....after 5 hours i sat a little bemused, started pondering where my life has gone wrong, how and why did i end up playing this absolute piece of garbage when i have 1000s of other games i want ( and have in my collection) to play. The graphics are below standard for its age, the gameplays just not fun but its the random encounter rate that delivers the killer blow. Its worse than i had expected from a SFT release, and thats saying something.Quote:

in the end i thought ' fuck it' and put landstalker on, now that's a proper game
^^considering your avatar I take that statement with a grain of salt
How come?Quote:

Blue Almanac is alright, but seriously, it looks and sounds ancient. It plays like that too. Only for hardcore oldskool RPG fans I guess.
Not a bad game but definitely less accessible than a Pier Solar, for example.
You need to change your title from "Special needs snowman" to the guy who's always right.Quote:

And holy shit do the attack/defend turns take forever!Quote:

*orders madden 93 off ebay*
Sometimes there's a reason why nobody bothered to translate and bring a release to other territories...Star Odyssey is a shining example of why some things just need to die quietly in their own region.
Just my opinion.
