One Complaint

from Sins Forums

After playing through the game a bit, I can think of only one complaint that I have:

Since there is a lot of management (macro and micro) going on, I find it that when you send your ships in to take a planet, or are taking over several planets at once, it is hard to focus in on that battle and appreciate the little details that the developers went into in coding and making the game look as beautiful as it does on its highest resolution and settings.  I find that when taking other planets, I am still forced to look at my other planets and see what is being built and am unable to look at the battle taking place because so much needs to be managed at once in order to stay on top of things. 

Does anyone else feel this way?  Or am I just crazy? :P 

Anyway, that's my minor complaint.  Still a beautiful game though.

I'm afraid that is just the nature of Real Time Strategy. It happens in real time.

 And yes you are crazy. Seek therapy before it is too late. You don't want to end up like Dirty Sanchezz.

Lol.  But he's cool :D.  And yeah, you're right I suppose.  Other RTS games I've played though, I've been more or less able to look at the battle going on.

Just one?  You only have one complaint?  I guess you haven't encountered CPU lag, minidumps, or desyncs yet.  :D

I have encountered MiniDumps but with the AutoSave feature, it really doesn't bother me and I don't encounter them all that often.  Even with my giant fleet that I have in my game right now.  The lag yes, does happen with giant fleet battles and sure it could be countered with turning down the settings...but what fun is that? :P.  Doesn't really bother me, lol.  No desyncs yet though.  Though those wouldn't bother me either, lol.

Sins is so stable for me I dont bother saving most of the time.

I do get the lag during massive battles, but I can't make myself turn down the ship, planet, or building detail from highest to high.  It looks too pretty!  Lol.

Hey, try this.  When playing the game, focus on taking names and kicking booty, but after the game is over, watch the REPLAY, where you can then focus on the beautiful elements at your leisure, and even pause it, zoom in, etc.

By the way, sorry I couldn't answer your text earlier on ICO.  I was in the middle of a heated battle :-)
