VUG - A horrible company

I have always been an avid player of the Tribes franchise. However recent events in Tribes Vengeance have changed my mind. For the last 6 months the community has been waiting for a patch to come out to fix the things broke due to rushed development. For a while VUG kept saying that the patch would be out shortly. Well after about a month of messing with us by saying it will only be a bit longer they stopped giving us any information. We waited and wondered what was going on. A few weeks ago we were told there would be news about the patch within one week. That information never came, finally today VU announced it would not be releasing a patch ever.

Few Days Ago:

Today:
http://community.vugames.com/WebX?230@41.YJajeb4ZkZr.1@.1dd97873

So basically we have been Lied to and cheated by VU games. We were patient and kind but we cant take anymore. I am here to plead with you not to become a victim of VUgames. Don’t let them cheat you out of your hard earned money. The Better Business Bureaus rated VUgames "F" there lowest score possible in customer satisfaction.

Republic Commando Finished

Wow, it was kinda short but fun the whole time. They realy got the pacing of the game down right. Anyways, if you like action games definently check this one out.

KOTOR II Finished

Was sick for two days and had today off due to snow so I was playing KOTOR 2. Just as good as the first one. The only thing I had issues with was the amount of bugs in the game. Way too many.

Twin Snakes Finished

Decided to sit down and play the last 2 hours or so of the Metal Gear Solid remake for gamecube. Im not sure if I liked the origional of the remake better. Why did they change some of the voice acting around anyways? Now everyone sounds american and I liked the accents. As for the cutscenes, they are mostly unchaged (and im real happy about that).

Deus Ex: Invisible War

I was looking at my collection of games and came across Deus Ex. It a wonderful game but unfortunately many people never gave it a chance due to its dated graphics. Anyways, if you never checked out the original you should consider Invisible War. It will at least allow people to start to understand what all the talk was about when the original hit the shelves.

Invisible War's story is its best feature. Set years after the events of the original, Invisible War tells the story of Alex D. You begin as a student at Tarsus, which at first appears to be a training ground for an elite security force, but quickly reveals itself as something much more sinister. The story gets interesting right away as the entire city of Chicago is destroyed in the opening cut-scene and only gets more involved as the game moves along.

They story has so many twists and turns that any attempt to summarize it falls victim to uncertainty. But at the most basic level it comes down to a war of philosophies and morality, with several factions trying to enlist your aid as biomodification threatens to become more common. You must decide who to help which is cool however there are some problems with it. Many of the decisions you make have little punishment. For example, there is no punishment for trying to play the factions against each other. Later in the game it becomes clear that there are significant reasons for this lack of consequence, but its disappointing that you are easily forgiven for failing to perform assignments that you have accepted.

What does save the game from most of its problems is the moral choices you constantly have to make. There is rarely an evil or good choice and there are lots of twists right up until the end that will make you unsure of whom to trust. The game has four possible endings and strangely none of them is definitely the "right" ending. What appears to be the good ending is actually somewhat scary while the most unsatisfying ending in terms of morality is also the most rewarding.

The fact that you can talk about this game in terms of morality should be enough to recommend it to its target audience. Invisible war is sometimes repetitive and frustrating, but the choices you make are not, which helps keep things interesting even when you’re unlocking another door with a multitool for the 30th time.

Rainbow Six 3 Finished

Beat Rainbow Six 3 tonight after being stuck on a dumb stealth mission for like a year. I must say that I definently enjoyed this game and will buy the "expansion".

Full Spectrum Warrior Finished

I finished FSW yesterday. I must say that overall its a good game. What I like most about it is how innovative it is. There is noting out there like it right now. Its sorta the thinking mans action game. The only bad thing about the game is that it can get boring sorta quickly. I played it a little bit every once in a while, and that stopped it from being boring. But yeah its nice.
