Are you using time compression (plus and minus keys) to get to and from danger quickly? It sounds like you are not. Using it would make quick action inevitable regardless of what mods you are or are not using. Check that out!
Also, the manual is perfect! I put it under the leg of my desk and it hasn't wobbled again since then.
Fired up Unreal Tournament III (roman numerals show this is a REAL IMPORTANT game, sorta like the Super Bowl (sub parentheses: you mean I actually have to EXPLAIN the Super Bowl?
)) It's a typical mexican jumping bean first person shooter, identical to Ratchet and Crank reskinned except that you can't do somersaults while you're jumping up and down to avoid the snipers.
Was watching the promo. These guys are sure proud of their canage festival.
What stuck me was a statement of theirs in a tutorial movie (over 20 hours of tutorial movie!): "In development for over two years, Epic won't release a game until it's absolutely ready to go with no problems."
Their business people have decided that exploiting the kiddies for their pocket change, as easy as it is to do, is just plain wrong! And they know that a relatively flawless game with great manual and 20 hours of tutorial will make them much more money than a quickly released inferior product. This thing plays like a console game (in the good sense of the word)! Maybe that is why the PC part of the game spectrum is so low: a lack of committment to good customer relations, plus the "we can fix it later" mindset.
But the Internet is forever. Every one of those "SH4 is crap" reviews will float around the Internet like land mines forever, blowing up sales of what became a great product. Maerean_m the business guys shot themselves in the back on this one. They saw a million dollars on the floor, said "No thanks" and picked up a penny. The true tragedy of that is that you devs would make about the same regardless of what the suits decided. They hurt themselves, but since they can't count money not earned, they think they did great and you were wrong.
So I, who hate mexican jumping bean games, took a look at one and was left with an impression of, "That is just unimaginably incredible quality!" I still don't care for the game itself.:rotfl:
