NeMeSiS 11 Posted November 9, 2006 is there a possibility that German version have voice and text (briefings, chats etc) in english? No, read what it says under the link: English preview version tested, they even said so in the preview, stop the wishful thinking (5 posts and we are already completely offtopic, everyone must be really exited about ArmA being gold and all.. ) Quote[/b] ]i totally agree with ya , i just think this is gonna make it 3 threads where we have to sift thru .

quicksand 0 Posted November 10, 2006 hrej.cz - 7 of 10 Why such a low score?Flashpoint was scoring 80%-all the way to 98%.Even Resistance got an average of 80%. What is the czech magazine faulting considering it appears they have the final version on their hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperwolf572 758 Posted November 10, 2006 hrej.cz - 7 of 10 Why such a low score?Flashpoint was scoring 80%-all the way to 98%.Even Resistance got an average of 80%. What is the czech magazine faulting considering it appears they have the final version on their hands It's because they expect some major changes from OFP, gameplay is mostly the same because OFP's gameplay is perfect the way it was. There were no necessary changes in that department, and gaming websites usually don't understand that and put the "Just same as OFP with updated graphics and a new story". Gives them a good reason to lower the score I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicksand 0 Posted November 10, 2006 While Fifa 2007 gets 95% because it added ball physics after 9 years.Oh the hyprocracy. I expected the scoring to start at 80-85% at least however faulty. And a competent reviewer to not give it more while explaining.Look I am not giving it more then 85% because the story is not as good as OF 1,the voices aren`t as atmospheric, it is still a buggy game or any other fault that it might have. Because in the end it IS a game at a scale that no other even scratches it`s back,attempting much more then titles that have millions of dollars pumping it`s soul and an army of developers.

Heatseeker 0 Posted November 10, 2006 I think its fair for us to atleast try it first and judge later on, it is regretable that many reviewers disregard the technology behind the product and its unique capability to render vast and detailed worlds.. amongst many other unique features. I wish i could take Arma for a good spin and write a preview/review . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eJay 1 Posted November 10, 2006 Can someone translate the + and - comments at bottom of review? Â I'm from Poland but I understand a lot of this text + graphics + different type of missions (variety) + easy-to-use editor + camapaign + a lot of vehicles - AI - It's only updated OFP - addons problem (i don't understand what is about) - system requirements (?) We need a Czech guy here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted November 10, 2006 So it might be more HW demanding that people thought it would... i predicted this by the beautyfull looks of it. Curious about what they didnt like about the a.i. though. I dont think that the fact that they consider Arma an "updated OPF" to be a negative thing really, i think is updated enough .

redef255 0 Posted November 10, 2006 + nice graphic, campaign, presence of editor, shadow processing, variety of missions, large number of weapons, vehicles and vastness of island - bloody HW requirements, for someone just a copy of OFP, too difficult for ordinary players, seldom but big AI errors, system of vehicle control = new, bigger and better Flaspoint is here. Contains new units, strong story, high-quality graphic and great promise to the future because of add-ons. Unfortunately it suffers from high HW requirements, sometimes fatal AI errors and StarForce presence (CZ release), Sunday players will be frustrated, masochistic players will enjoy this game. Those who believe in repetitive history can add one point and look forward to multiplayer review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quicksand 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Quote[/b] ]..strong story Oh my.Now that`s something I wanted to hear.Sorry if I`m boring anyony by obsessing at this aspect but for me to immerse in a game and enjoy MP and toying with the editor I need a good story background like fresh air.
