Huh? What point? I was trying to identify and gain impressions from people who have actually played the game. I tend to put more weight into these impressions. We can all make judgements based off video or app descriptions, this is how we choose what games to purchase. But I've been wrong before, thinking a game wouldn't be my cup and later praising it while late to the party. Why? Because observations are only skin deep. Games are played, engaged between the player and the software. On another note, I see you 1 starred the game. That's classy. Do you have some sort of agenda? Are you a competitor of some sort or do you just lack a healthy life?
I still can't decide what to do about this game, mainly because of the file size and Internet requirement though not because of opinions here as they seem split anyway and not everyone will love every game.
If you want to support the people who asked you to give them real money for Ride to Hell: Retribution, by all means buy this game.
Just tested it out, turned my IPad onto Airplane mode and played the single player campaign. It is NOT online only.
I'd like to also request the impressions of people who have actually played this game, and aren't just hating the name. Giving 1 star to a game that you haven't even played is misleading and unhelpful.
I'd like to hear more from people as to this being the case or not as it's a pretty big point of contention for me.
Sorry, seems I was also the victim of misinformation as I'm pretty sure I seen people mention needing a connection to play in the early pages. That's a relief though as I generally play in airplane mode.
This game is an absolutely awful use of the Warhammer license. If you stripped away the Warhammer theme, you'd be left with a very mediocre line defense game at best. That guy in the video was spot on in my opinion! About the comparison between this game and Ninja Cats VS Samurai Dogs.. Even the devs themselves made the comparison in a tweet/blog post, stating that this game was gonna be based upon their previous title Ninja Cats VS Samurai Dogs.
I actually really like this. It is lane defence but as I never got plants v zombies 2 (the price put me off) and I haven't played lane defence since PvZ1 then this is a nice little game for me. This, FtL and Monument Valley are good enough for me to keep some faith in iOS gaming for at least one more week.
Wouldn't every game that's not a full tabletop conversion, the one thing we've never gotten, be a waste of the license? As long as the game is good, taking out GW inflated prices, why does the license matter?
Because it's not Dawn of War 3. Space Marine got flak for being a FPS, Space Hulk got flak for being a board game, essentially if a 40K game comes out that isn't Dawn of War or really similar, you are going to get a group that whines about it.
The license matters because people either feel connected or invested in the 'fluff' of the license. Using a license to create a game gives you the opportunity to add to and expand the world of the license, which a lot of fans enjoy. With this game? It's a bloody waste of license.
This thread is full of Warhammer Whiners. Did they actually play the game? Who knows. But it doesn't stop them from trashing it.
How is it more of a waste than say, Space Marine? SoV tells the saga of Piscina IV from both the perspective of the Dark Angels and the Orks. So it certainly has the story element or "fluff" you elude too. What do other 40K products do that SoV doesn't, aside from be game types that better suite your personal preferences?
Bloodshow Cheaper? Yeah.... if you don't mind getting nickel and dimed with the freemium BS. I don't have a hard time finding $5 in the sofa cushions or change holder. Supporting the studio that made the terrible Retribution :Ride to Hell? How about supporting the studio that made the outstanding Supercar Challenge? Ferrari Challenge? Absolute Supercars, NASCAR 2014 and many, many other very good games. I got Ride to Hell for $1.49 on STEAM so I don't feel the need to vent hatred on their other games because I didn't care for it. I have 5 hours on the PC version and as much on iPad now. I am having fun. Your mileage may vary but there are plenty of other games to play. If this one stopped amusing I would be back on FTL and SolForge. Full disclosure... I HATE Games Workshop's business practices and wouldn't buy a thing from them for any of the miniature games any more. But Space Hulk and Blood Bowl on PC are great fun so I don't mind a bit enjoying myself with them.
