A Sirius Game

Проект, превосходящий все ожидания. Где я предвкушал равнодушный взгляд, я обнаружил страстное и искусное посвящение канонам жанра, возведённое в абсолют.

Análise.

I ignored the negative reviews about this game because it looked like something I'd like but I probably should have listened. I got this for 49 cents and looking I see that it's still on sale for 49 cents (which is a 90% discount) so either that's a coincidence or it hasn't gone off sale since I bought it, which has been a while. I didn't find most of the problems deal-breaking but the ships travel speed is REALLY slow and the title character is a grade A jerk. I gave up when I sat through Sirius being an entitled two year old, then was faced with that slow, slow ship back to the last location. Even if it looks like you might like it, the negative reviews are NOT exaggerating. Even if you're morbidly curious, this isn't even enjoyable from the stand-point of it being a bad game.

At first, this game seemed like it would be fun. Unfortunately, it is littered with so many bugs that I found it frustrating. First, aiming your cannons can be hard, since the cursor looks like a hook, so you have to guess at where the center of the hook is to hit anything. Second, some of the quests are seriously bugged. It is often impossible to select a quest in the quest journal, as for some reason they bug out. Also, there are some quests that reset when unselected, and sometimes getting a new quest will de-select your current quest. And sometimes, a quest might say "go back to X port" and when you arrive, nothing happens (this means you have to start it over, and that doesn't always work). I found all of these bugs converged on the same quest, and rage-quit as a result. Third, the pathfinding is strange. It is based on a grid pattern, and your ship takes whatever pathe the game decides is the best path, but I often find that means I end up sailing through shallow water (which is slower than deeper water). All in all, this game was not finished at release. I usually dont have a problem with games published by Aldorlea Games, but in my eyes, this one has hurt their credibility. I recommend avoiding this one at all costs.

Ein abenteuer spiel für zwischendurch. ich empfehle es nicht. lanweiliges spiel. musik ist in ordnung. der preiß ist im angebot akzeptabel. hat steam karten.

Has a working menu with settings and even a tutorial which is helpful. It is clear that some effort has been put into this, but I can't recommend it because I didn't enjoy it.

Yes.

An old cheap, broken game..but with Pirates ...soo worth giving it a shot if you can get it on sale.

A Sirius Game is more crap shovelware from Aldorlea, the asset flipper who's dumped OVER ONE HUNDRED RPG Maker asset flips onto Steam, they pump out an asset flip every two weeks, so they're serial polluters of the Steam store and they do it because they want your money for valueless crap games... and this is no exception. But it isn't an RPG Maker asset flip, instead, they conned some feckless amateur dev out of a low poly mobile app-esque ripoff of Sid Meier's Pirates! (and we can cross our fingers and hope that Take-Two interactive sues this serial polluter into oblivion). Not to be confused with an actual game, this crap mobile app is just a shallow pirate themed shooter as you escort ships around... yeah, it's nothing of value at all, just a shallow mockery of older, yet far more sophisticated PC games. Again, to understand why such garbage is polluting Steam here, just look at the developers track record of harmful, greedy cash grabs and pollution. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. The developers didn't design the game for modern gaming PCs, as such the display resolution caps out at 1080p, a very low resolution that became mainstream back in 2006 and became obsolete when 4K entered the mainstream in 2014. The game simply won't look right on modern gaming displays due to this failure on the part of the developers. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the video game construction kit/toolset, Microsoft XNA Game Studio. This is a very poor quality toolset sometimes used by amateur/unskilled developers as it doesn't require advanced game development skills, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes A Sirius Game might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this only appears around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards. A Sirius Game has the almost comically optimistic (if it wasn't so sad) price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

[h1] Smells like fart to me, not sure if that's the game or something else... [/h1]
