It seemed ok - sort of like a persistant Tribes, which also seemed like a pretty good game, it just didn't hook me for what ever reason. I'll admit I didn't play a lot of either game. Can you expand on "just a bad game" a bit?
As far as "with every FPS, ever" PS is a cross between FPS and MMORPG. If they cared they could have seperated the noobs from the pros... or even figuered a way to pit noobs against eachother.
I was talkin to some guildies tonight. I've moved on from a small friendly guild to a more agressive, larger guild. This guild actually got its start in PS before moving on to EQ, COH, and eventually WoW and EQ2. For some reason some of the burn outs are heading to Eve. I was discussing this, and several guildies mentioned getting hung up on the same spot in the teutorial as I did.
One of the EvE guys was lurking, and mentioned that one of his favorite activites was to park a large ship next to a ginormous asteroid, click the mine button..... and go watch TV for 45 minutes. I guess alot of what we do is strange, but this seemed really odd to me. To have one of your best gaming experiences to be to click and walk away for 45 min /shrug
