nick the greek Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Nice one Hunter. It's just the kind of reviews I wanna read. The game looks good but I'm not going to buy it because I know nothing about German and this won't let me enjoy it. About the graphics. There are some 90's computer games that are still great and people play them although they have bad graphics. So this shouldn't be a reason not to buy the game.

English and German may be related to some extent, but when it comes to fire fighting, that saying just goes right out the window Although there are still classics out there, people will probably read "2010" and expect really good graphics and what not. Then when there isn't good graphics, they moan and forget some of the best games never had amazing graphics. Shame really.I'm trying to get round the problem of of image capture. I can't PrtSc and alt+tab cause that crashes the game (and it acts like there was no image captured). The free version of Fraps to BMP and a certain resolution I think... But anyway, I think the pictures would look better if I can get PrtSc to work - might try windowed mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English and German may be related to some extent, but when it comes to fire fighting, that saying just goes right out the window Well yeah but before that you'll need to set up some things and you'll have to read German Although there are still classics out there, people will probably read "2010" and expect really good graphics and what not. Then when there isn't good graphics, they moan and forget some of the best games never had amazing graphics. Shame really.Agree on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMCC626 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Is it mod-able, many of these new german simulators, ie: Farming simulator, Demolition Company, etc, allow for modding, I could only hope this one would follow that trend!

LT.SacFD Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I believe you can download off the site. It's like 911 FR. You can digitally download it. Same with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astragon doesn't have a digital service. Correct me if I'm wrong. The only digital service I can think of that sells Astragon products is sim market, but they don't have it.Is it mod-able, many of these new german simulators, ie: Farming simulator, Demolition Company, etc, allow for modding, I could only hope this one would follow that trend!

CMCC626 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Played this today, there is no freeplay, just missions, so far it is only released in german, which makes figuring out what the game wants kinda difficult if you don't know german(it is very precise as mentioned earlier), it is third person with 11 missions, and after looking at the file system it seems mod-able. Reskins would be extremely easy (and needed). I had no luck locating the files that contain the mission info, so i don't know about self translation. Overall:5/5 Genre (duh?)3/5 Graphics (could use some work)2/5 Glitches/Gameplay (lots of bugs, player tends to get stuck etc.)4.5/5 Realism (precise in steps taken to solve emergencies)4/5 Mod-able (easy to locate, unlocked files, readily available software)3.75/5 Total; good game, but seems like they released it a little too early, that or the "new guys" made it.REMOVED TEXT IN REFERENCE TO ILLEGAL ACTIVITIESDumb idea bud.*contemplates adding warning* Edited October 11, 2010 by Newfoundking Dumb idea by someone who didn't read the TOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalRooster22 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'd totally buy it if there was an English translation. In games like these, you always needd to know what it's telling you, as it can be very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In games like these, you always need to know what it's telling you, as it can be very important. It's pretty easily actually, and a lot of it is self explanatory "parke den feurerwehnwagen" - Park the fire engine"evakuiere das haus" - Evacuate the house"Sirene" - Siren"sichere das treibstoffleck" - secure the fuel leakSimple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew2007 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 It's a good game, just sucks I can't read/understand German all that well (or what ever language it's in)I just can't get past that tunnel mission, I fail by 5 seconds!

Why do you fail so soon? You have to go down the second ramp when you respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
