So much potential

[baktanfuli]

i have to voice my deep deep disappointment in this series.

Let me start by saying ive completed all 3 games twice.

i hate this series for having so much potential, yet so little of it is realized.

The core gameplay is great, RPG and space battle, very few games fills this niche.

But now to the bad.

VOICEACTING: are you freaking kidding me?, the voiceacting in SW1+2 is so bad it defies belief, even if english is not your primary language, someone at some point had to be able to hear, just how awful it was, and im more than a little surprised at the fact, that i havent been able to find any threads on it.
next time use those 5-10k on getting someone with a minimum of talent to do it.
SW3 was bearable, nothing great, but ive heard worse in other games.

SW2 ending was just like "Que?" it screams to high heavens of forced release, so whatever ideas the devs had, got curtailed, and the game was rushed out with some completely inane ending.

All the games have bad pathing logic, and the fact that this prevailed in all 3 games, just makes you mad, when near debris, stations or asteroids, you can sit and just marvel for 30-60 secs while your mothership tries to find a path, or when a fighter gets stuck in the station.

in SW2+3 you had to dock your fighters on the MS, then dock the mothership to use xp points, why take something that worked in SW1, and make it more complicated?

Could have done so much better in making it a open ended/sandbox game

so many bugs, and so little apparent effort used on bugfixing.

If they at least had done more to allow the community to mod the game, ie fix all the flaws they left in, that could have done wonders.

It just annoys the crap out of me, sitting with a game, that could have been a huge succes, and when done, you are just left with that feeling that some greedy money dude forced the games out the door before they were ready, and gave people no chance to fix them, before they were thrown at the next game.

The game is old, and the last expansion is cancelled, but nonetheless i had to voice my frustation at at game with so much potential, but so little of it realized.
