Every game except Virtual Sailor is allowed to be discussed here. Why? Are we embarassed about it or something?
No one said it wasn't allowed, but I find it strange how people favor our forum to talk about other games, and ask questions about them. Some small talk about other titles I can understand, after all that's just making conversation amongst members here, but surely specific questions or help with problems are things that are much easier to find answers to on the forum or site of the actual game. That's why I said what I said.
As long as no flame wars are going on between rival games, I don't see why any game should be off limits in the small talk area. Everything goes, within reason. But we are a bit apprehensive about VS it may seem, as that's a more direct competitor, and if you want to know why
I myself rather not have many topics about this 'rival' on our forum, then just go to their forum and post about SS08, you'll see how friendly people get when you do that! (Sarcasm, yep)
I was flamed and banned there, and haven't been back since, a most unwelcoming bunch of people that greeted me into their communtiy and I have no need for their company at all. And just because I refered to SS08. I think the embarrassment should be theirs.
I do own VS, and I have tried just about every single addon you can find on the net, so I know what I talk about, I'm not saying this as a staff member, I say this as a player of these two games.
Btw J3nsen, I have them on High... but it still looks bad to me. The water is nice, granted, but the land/ports etc are rubbish. And well, apart from a handfull of addons made by knowledgable people and the official boats, most addons , besides looking very bad, behave very very poorly, and dynamics are often a complete laugh. Hence my preference towards SS08. They are indeed both not perfect, nothing ever is, you got that right. But for me there's a clear leader in the genre. Very clear.
