BATTLESTATIONS: MIDWAY review

Battleships, subs, planes... even Bernard makes an appearance.

I Found the Subsim Battlestations: Midway Easter Egg!
 

Hey, look what I found :huh:

...do I win?

Very nice review Neal! I think it balances out a lot of the slogging and seemingly-causeless praising I've heard of the game. Still on the fence whether I'll check it out - maybe when I feel like blowing some things up without pressure!

Thanks, George. It was actually very enjoyable, easy to slip into for 30 minutes of fun. If it just had some kind of instant mission generator, it would have rocked.

Yes, you are winner #1. Nine more eagle-eyed skippers can join you... :ping: if they know what to look for.

good hunting!

Aww, now that's a real bummer actually. I love strategy games with generators or at least editors; I can't for the life of me understand why there's many games that forgo that now :( And especially naval games; even one of my favorites, Distant Guns (totally unrelated to this of course) bums me out sometimes because of its fairly limited generator.

That said, see if I can persuade my friends to do some multiplayer on it!... when any of us actually have time :dead:

And yea... discovery? Total accident. :p

I Found the Subsim Battlestations: Midway Easter Egg!
 

Mmmm, Eggs.

I can't decide if I want this game or not. With such a bad replay value for single player it doesn't seem like its worth the money, and from what I recall from the multiplayer demo, the server browsing sucked. Oh well, i'll probably wait until I find it in a bargin bin somewhere.

I'm not buying the game. It seems to arcade-like from your review, and Bernard makes me puke.

Yes, I found the egg:up:!

Hehe, nice one, Neal. :)

If no one else claim the rest of the eggs, can I have them:p?

I just checked mine and it says; Best Before: 21-07-62 :damn:

Pacific Storm & Battlestations: Midway
 

Has anyone here tried Pacific Storm by CDV? I tried BS:M and didn't especially like it because of its arcadiness (and some other things). So I tried PS and kind of like it so far even though I haven't spent a whole lot of time on it yet. Maybe people who can't get into BS:M should try PS.

I've heard some good things about PS, but never really looked into it. I just looked at their website for about 5 minutes and am now downloading the demo. If its as good as it looks, i guess i'm out another $40 :arrgh!:


BTW, Welcome to Subsim! :D

Welcome to Subsim, Curious and Ubergeek :yep:

Some intel for you: look over the BSM review carefully, there are secret prize links in there and some prizes still remain :smug:

Plural form?

Yes, possibly, but let me add one more time... I still have prizes to give out... don't be shy, people :arrgh!:
