This is the first game I have ever beta-tested. It is very impressive, yet I have noticed a few things:
1. On the third training mission, I gave a reservoir a few attack genes, but I don't see the morphing animation. Is it suppose to physically mutate? This doesn't seem to be the only ship "affected" during my play-throughs.
2. I have been unable to find an online game. I go to the internet menu, and see blank areas. There are no details on what the channel things are, so I'm not sure of their purpose. I can only find info on the join games menu.
3. When I do go to the internet menu, the bars in the upper-right corner are still moving. I guess it is still loading, so that may explain why there isn't any info. It seems to take too long.
The main problem is that I cannot exit the internet menu. I can go to join games, and click the back button, but it doesn't seem to work on the internet menu. The bars are still loading, but how long is it suppose to take? The only things that show up are in the join game menu.
4. In the third tutorail mission, I know that the person says at one point the learning part of the tutorial is over and it says I should take the defiance stronghold, yet when I do, the tutorial still isn't over. All the enemies are gone, yet it is still going.
That wouldn't be too much of a problem if it gives the impression that I need to exit manually. However, the objectives still say I need to sell ships for more blood. But isn't the mission over? And besides, I already sold some ships.
Also, when I exit the game manually, as soon as I see the results I am told by the lady to build a reservoir. Did I really need to? Every time I exit she says that, but it doesn't say that I need to beyond the tutorial instructions.
5. Other things I have noticed that, although not problematic, do detract from the fun at times. Ships seem to move too slow at times, especially during the first two tutorial. Also, the possible camera angles can conflict with control.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll try searching for more to make sure this game ends up good.
