The game makes no sense

This movie is such a cartoon, nothing makes sense and people are ridiculous stereotypes of various sorts.

This is a wish-fulfillment for little boys, and that's all it is. Even the 'injected romance' isn't well done, cultivated enough or strong enough to hold interest of girls, let alone women.

There are so many ridiculous, nonsensical parts, it would be easier to just list things that are semi-sensical (is this even a word?) or believable.

However, this time I want to look at the game, and the 100% IMPOSSIBILITY that this trailer park goofball is _THE_BEST_PILOT_IN_THE_UNIVERSE_!!11..

I mean, come on, a human being with their typically slow reflexes and brains compared to other species.. specieses? What the heck is the plural here?

Just by pure statistics, there _HAS_ to be multiple specieses (I give up with this word) that have much faster neurons, much faster reaction time, much better visual coordination capabilities ET CETERA that would be required for someone to be _THAT_GOOD_.

So this renders this wish fulfillment portion completely idiotic - a little boy believing that is possible has to be brain damaged or something.

Second, this game... it does not look like it rewards skill over random swishing around and mashing the button randomly.

Look, I have played games that require not only actual skill, reflexes, reaction time and so on, but also super deep and detailed knowledge about the classes, specializations and abilities, complicated talent tree possibilities and on and on and on - AND EVEN THEN, it goes on!

Those games I was never able to be very good at, because the good players ABSOLUTELY have to be able to basically 'read the screen' in all its about 12 things going on simultaneously in an instant, and then make the exact correct decision.

Doesn't sound hard? What if I told you that decision has to be made sometimes multiple times per second, with ALL of the 12 variables changing completely during that time multiple times? Still not enough, though!

You also have to be able to PREDICT what another player absolutely IS going to do, not only what they are likely to do, while still knowing exactly where your own team's every single player is AT ALL TIMES, read what THEY are doing, and then do the right, EXACT thing based on all that information.

Every single second.. multiple times a second. For an extended period of time.

This game doesn't even look like it has limited ammo, ANY kind of strategy, any kind of predictive qualities rewarded - it doesn't seem like this game cultivates intuition (some games absolutely do, and the best players seem to have an eerie ability to shoot somewhere you are going to be in one second before you arrive, so that their bullet arrives there exactly as you do, and you die instantly - seriously, intuition and 'being in the zone' is REAL, anyone that has played this type of games enough, if it's only Unreal Tournament instagib matches, knows this - I have also sometimes had this 'magic' course though myself, so I know what it is).

The player isn't required to just 'feel' there is some certain type of enemy at very specific place AND distance (it seems to be a 2D game with very crudely 3D-rendered graphics), and to use a very specific type of missile/attack/defence/etc. at the EXACT moment required..

When you look at this game, it looks like you could easily win it just by randomly mashing buttons and swishing the joystick around. It doesn't seem to require PRECISION, either. You don't have to have an analogue control with smooth acceleration/deceleration or anything. It's not even on the level of a high-res mouse cursor movement!

Having played SO many games in my lifetime, learned so much about distance, player dynamics, unpredictability of other players and so on..

..this crappy toygame is RIDICULOUSLY shallow and would NEVER measure anyone's ability to ANY extent, no matter how hard the writing tries to convince you of such. Why couldn't they make the VISUALS match the writing?

Isn't that a common problem in movies and even games now? You are TOLD there are thousands of RA9s on the wall, then you are SHOWn there are barely 40, if that.

Anyway, what would have made the game at least somewhat better and more playsible, is that if he was playing against OTHER competitors (even if without knowing), instead of just the CPU itself.

It's never the same to play against BOTS, than it is to play against ACTUAL PLAYERS - - - especially GOOD ones.

A goofball like that, that can't dedicate about 12 hours per day straight playing, learning, researching and basically dismantling the game and rehearsing with other players over and over and over again, would NEVER, ever be able to, let's say, rise the ranks in WoW arenas beyond something like 1200. This ridiculous hairy goofball would never even dream of 1600, let alone 2000.

Anyone that knows even a bit of what those players HAVE sacrificed, have done, have to do to get that high, would be shocked.
