Is anyone else supremely disappointed by Galactrix DS? I bought two copies for my buddy and I and we planned our whole night to play after the wives were asleep.
In multi-player the FPS is low, like, stuttering horrible low. So you have plenty of time to see the jaggy graphics moving slide-show fashion around the screen.
Luckily, you'll only see those graphics if you can get the stylus to cooperate.
Example: Tap. hmm. Tap. HMM. TAP. *#$%$%^!! PRESSS WITH FORCE. Oh there we go. ...and this was after re-calibrating several times.
Oh and is anyone else sick to shit of trying to select a point on the flying/over map only to have the little ship fly around? Select planet, try to select 'get mission' *ship flies screwball towards upper left corner. Over and over.
I can't tell you how frustrated I was trying to select the text that pops up from the little pop up menu on planets. You have to tap pixel-precise on the tiniest little area. I remember being able to play the first one with my thumbs.
Overall I like the mechanics of the game, it's definitely a step up. Unfortunately the DS version is beyond (ACCESSING DATA) piss-poor.
I've been playing so much on my iphone recently that I thought maybe I had forgotten the DS sensitivity being lame, but it's only Galactrix. Seriously it's been 5 yrs how do you fuck up DS input? Isn't it just a standard input library at this point?
Now I don't think I want a birthday at all!
that is all...
Le sighe, I'd stopped playing PC games as it makes a hermit out of me.
I kid, I kid.
