Age of Booty Demo
=================

Monday 25 May 2009 23:08

Seems like a light-weight Real Time Strategy game,
and I don't like light-weight Real Time Strategy
games. Real Time Strategy games should come with a
1000+ page manual you have to study to find out
what the possibilities are so you can come up with
a surprising winning strategy every time you play.
Age of Booty is to close to the tactical side
because there aren't many strategic decisions to
make. And using the SIXAXIS I made to many tactical
errors by moving my ship to the wrong tile and lose
valuable time correcting those mistakes. And since
you can't do much else than sail around the map,
why not just directly steer it? Now you can set a
target, but you have no control over what tactics
to use when something is encountered trying to get
there. And for games like this I like a mouse to
point and click and maximum information density on
my screen, consoles are best for shooters and
racing, not for RTS.
