1. People have bought xbla games for their beauty.
2. lack of polish.....again demo, no prompts, no directions, no voice over even.
3. I am number 1 in nj for tower defense games, and number 15 or so on the entire site.....do you really think I didn't demo this? do you think I didnt want it to be good?
again I'm my opinion the game is very overpriced....compare it to castlestorm for 800msp and this becomes obvious. And again when it goes on sale for 800, or hopefully 600, I will get it.
1. Beauty may have been the wrong word. Graphics then. No one has ever bought an XBLA for its graphics because frankly none of them are particularly good looking.
2. Prompts for what? The demo makes you play the tutorial. I figured everything out from the tutorial? Are you so inept that you couldn't? There's literally like 4 buttons that you can press. Surely trial and error alone can teach you how to play within a minute.
Directions for what? It's a tower defense game. Units walk from a spawn to a target location and you want to prevent that. It's the same in every TD game everywhere. There is no way someone as good as you needed directions.
Voiceovers? For the storyline two people on the planet care about? What an utter waste of money. The game would have to be $20 then. Not to mention the budget for this game was probably not large and focusing on the story would have come at the expense of the gameplay.
3. You're number 1 in NJ...does that establish a pedigree or something? Is New Jersey famous for tower defense game players? "So you won a game of Wintermaul, but could you beat a New Jersian in a game of Wintermaul Wars? NO WAY!?!?! Ahaha". Sorry bud, but all that means is you bought them right at release and spent more time at them. It doesn't mean you're actually better than everyone else. And I would imagine after skipping a game you're no longer number 1. If you are, then competition is simply pathetic in your state LOL. Whatever though, you tried the demo...
But you didn't try the game. You don't know what you're talking about. You can't pass judgment on what it's worth because you've never really played it. You played the lite version, and trust me it's very lite. Do you think Halo 2 would have done so well in people's eyes if you could only play alone, only against grunts, on easy , and only with plasma pistols and assault rifles? How about an RPG demo where the characters only know "Attack" and the enemies do nothing but "Attack"? That's what you played.k
