Actually after watching this, i'm definitely buying it, I like the look of it
I wouldn't mate. At least wait for the first reviews to pour in.
I was thinking the other night, what is actually wrong with these new games that people don't like 'em? They look good, the weapons are nice, the classes are fun, the water is funny.. and I still remember it was fun just blasting holes with the zooka.
The real issues with W:Rev and prolly this game as well, is that the general movement is so annoying cause the worms keep bumping, sliding, falling cause of the tricky 3d'ish maps. And then there's the rope and other weaps that just don't function properly, but act all fuzzy and out of control. Add to it the very sluggish menu AND gameplay, the annoying in-game chat function and general shitty online play (as well as the tedious cinematics in the singleplayer that slow everything down), and you'll miss your WA soon enough.
The real problem with this game is that everything works so slowww and buggy. If anything, a PC game needs to be straightforward, fast and easy to control. That's what we're used to with a PC, whether it's browsing on the internet or just using notepad or some shit. Anything that loads for more than 5 secs or prohibits us from doing a simple task within the blink of an eye is just gonna be a nuissance to us.
W:Rev kinda was like playing a shooter with 60 people online on a 56k modem, where you have to wait like 20 sec to let the aim settle in before you can finally shoot someone. It just drives you mad, certainly in a time-based strategic game like worms.
Cause yeah, my online strategy pretty much consisted of just shooting zooks at the other team cause trying to go nearby with rope or chute would f@#! up 60% of the time.
I'm one of the few who think it was a good idea to limit the worms to 16 in these games. Or rather 2 teams of 4 in most games. That was WAY MORE than enough for such a slow-ass game.
Rather than improving W:Rev, they shoulda downgraded it. There's no way this game can work better with those backgrounds and again, this utterly crappy 2.5d type of terrain which makes easy movement near impossible.
end of rant.
Komo, please man, wait for the reviews. And not of those ass-licking game 'review' sites, but of the community. It can save you a lot of bad butthurt.
Steam ones are nice now that the T17 forums have been taken down:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/233840/discussions/Pretty sure you'll get a shitstorm there once the game is released. If you can find more than 2 positive reviews there you might consider hehe, otherwise, nope.
