I liked GW6, it was fun, but not without its issues.
Here are the main issues I remember:
I think GW6 be a fine little game to release on Steam if those issues are handled.
Here are the main issues I remember:
- There was a lack of mouse controlled steering. Turning the craft with the mouse would have made it much easier to aim.
- There were some balance issues. Likely made worse because of the controls, but trying to defeat a colony with a craft was too hard. All fights seemed to happen with destroyers, likely cause it was easier to control and they could take a number of hits before dying.
- The business module was basically pay-to-win micro-transactions. Definitely evident that Haxus is from the good old arcade game era. If server costs were dramatically redused (see next point) it might be better as a one-time payment of $20-30.
- Online only seemed like a strange choice. Might have been better to have allowed privately hosted servers and just host an official master server for browsing active private servers.
