Angry Birds Space
 
Anyone played it yet? I think it's pretty fun :)
Clever how it has a link to NASA's website too.

If there's one game series that doesn't deserve its own thread it's Angry Birds. Fuck that game.

Mudokon_Master 03-31-2012 02:16 AM

Agreed with Dyna. And it looks like original Angry Birds, just with a different atmosphere.

Phylum 03-31-2012 02:40 AM

Was that a joke?

Mudokon_Master 03-31-2012 02:41 AM

No pun originally intended.

Wil 03-31-2012 02:47 AM

This is the first angry birds extension/spinoff that actually changes the gameplay at all. And if it can get people interested in NASA and space exploration, then I hope it does that. But I tried it and was bored and frustrated by it, so meh.

Mudokon_Master 03-31-2012 03:26 AM

Gameplay looks exactly the same to me. Oh well, I guess I can't say much considering I got pissed off at AB on my phone before finishing the first 10 levels.

Crashpunk 03-31-2012 03:43 AM

Christ, They keep churning out the same game over and over again don't they? That same game with it's extremely frustrating levels and boring gameplay. Fuck Angry Birds.

Reminds me of a certain war game that everyone wanks over...what's it called again?

Jordan 03-31-2012 03:56 AM

Don't get me started on how much I hate angry birds. It's the most overrated bag of wank on the planet. Except this one. This is the most overrated bag of wank in the universe.

You mean Worms?

Wings of Fire 03-31-2012 05:50 AM

Yes.

He means Worms.

Obviously.

Jordan 03-31-2012 06:50 AM

Woooow.

AlexFili 03-31-2012 07:47 AM

You're forgetting about the time they tried making Worms in 3D and it almost ruined their company.

MeechMunchie 03-31-2012 08:02 AM

I thought Worms 3D was pretty good

Crashpunk 03-31-2012 08:07 AM

wow. I'm sorry but that was funny. I kinda knew where you were coming from but still made me laugh.

And Worms 3D was a brilliant game how did it almost ruin Team 17? They made Worms 4: Mayhem and many other Worms games after it.

Wings of Fire 03-31-2012 08:46 AM

I wouldn't say Worms 3D was good...

But I liked it.

Wil 03-31-2012 08:54 AM

Worms 3D is the second worst game I've ever played.

Wings of Fire 03-31-2012 09:07 AM

You need to play more games.

MeechMunchie 03-31-2012 09:10 AM

If Worms 3D is one of the worst games you've played, you must only play good games. Or something. I've confused myself.

The only games I play without being pretty certain I'll enjoy them are those I can get cheaply from a bundle or PWYW sale. Worms 3D was an exception; I was offered it on cheap when I bought another game (can't remember what). It wasn't worth it.

Agreed.

OANST 03-31-2012 10:18 AM

You need to have sex more.

Wil 03-31-2012 10:25 AM

Agreed. How many more things can you identify me as not doing enough of?

Manco 03-31-2012 10:36 AM

You need to be sincere more.

Wil 03-31-2012 10:40 AM

Never!

Varrok 03-31-2012 10:44 AM

You need to be deceitful less.

DarkHoodness 03-31-2012 11:54 AM

Worms 3D was okay - Slightly more fun than Hogs of War, and definitely fun enough for me to replay 3 times. But nothing Team 17 has made has bested Worms: Armageddon. Not even Worms: Reloaded... And man, I wish I didn't waste £12 on that.

Anyway, on topic, I never got the hype with Angry Birds. It doesn't seem that fantastic... The stuff made by Pop Cap like Peggle and Plants vs Zombies was a hell of a lot more fun. Even though they were very popular, there wasn't as much hype over their games. Shame, really. Maybe it's 'cause Angry Birds filled a newly-opened niche on the smartphone game market.

Making Oddworld Games.

Reloaded certainly wasn't very good, but probably only in comparison to its predecessor World Party. Now that one was the best. Still the first thing on the agenda when nerdy guests come calling, after all these years.

My mom is addicted to this franchise. I have a version on the mac, but never play it.

MY LIFE IS INTERESTING FUCK

enchilado 04-01-2012 01:47 AM

I've only played Angry Birds Chrome but I think it's quite fun (and I can't imagine the real thing would be much different). I dunno about any hype, but it's not a bad game.

Dynamithix 04-01-2012 02:37 AM

It's not really a bad game it's just that it's been done many times before and it's definitely nothing new and Rovio just got lucky that it got as popular as it is right now.

AlexFili 04-01-2012 10:02 AM

Angry Birds isn't intended to be the "next big thing" like Assassins Creed III or Bioshock Infinite. It was purely intended as a little gimmicky physics toy for people with smartphones. For a casual game they did very well and inspired a lot of other smartphone developers.

Angry Birds was lucky to get popular, and this is the case for many games. Minecraft, Wastelander 2, etc. The hardest thing for any company is to keep a franchise alive. So many times a franchise dies or fails to remain popular. In ten years time, "Angry Birds" may be a phrase that everyone forgets about. Only time will tell.

Phylum 04-02-2012 12:40 AM

You can't compare Angry Birds to Minecraft like that. Minecraft did really unique things that people loved. AB was more of a right place, right time thing.

I don't really see anything wrong with this. I'm not going to buy it, but at least they're mixing it up a little for the people that want it.

Crashpunk 04-02-2012 01:34 AM

Minecraft has probably been one of the most unique games in recent years and Angry Birds just isn't as original. Sure the Raving Rabbit like bird characters are unique but gameplay wise, it's just Crush the Castle.

Maybe I was slightly harsh with my criticisms. As a casual game, it's real fun. it's not a awful game.
