why is this game such a complete and utter mess?

[kayne]

so yea team17 way to drop the ball here.(360 version)

among the many glitches posted on this board. the horrid load times. graphics that make me want to cry. the jetpack and icarus potion rarely work correctly.

let me explain the jetpack it is nearly impossible if not completely impossible to make a turn or a slight veer to pick up an item so what results is constantly having to spin around and try and collect an item. perhaps made worse by the fact that half of the time you will fly right through the item and not collect it. there is a mission i think mission 20 the one where you are getting the vegetables where this very problematic.

icarus potion on mission 22 refuses to work hardly. i can pound A like a freakin mad man and ill be lucky if it works. it seems i need to move both joysticks and pound A like a mad man and then it might work if it feels like it. i died for 2 hours because the potion works randomly.

then we have the voice overs....i vote we kill the person that voiced the story mode seriously this is probably the most ear piercing sound next to fingernails on a chalk board. why not just leave the MeMe language voice over from the original? seriously the person that did the voice overs and approved them was deaf i really cant figure it out the voice over was ear piercing ear drum breaking bad(not to be confused with the amazing TV show)

and of course we have the standard no one plays online(sucky port why am i not shocked by this). the AI is still running off the same algorithm from worms 1 back in what 1995 was it?

add this to other whole mess of problems that have been posted....team 17 i beg you....burn the code for this game. start over using something besides LUA(what is this anyway?) make a proper 3-d game and do the worms name proud. and by start over i really do mean from scratch burn the code. delete all copies of it. admit this is an abomination and start over.

as it stands now i fear worms is going the way of sonic did for like 8 years. popular but not living up to its established legacy. fortunently sonic seems to of gotten it right with colors and generation. so please team 17 do the worms name proud. start over and dont use LUA cause clearly that does not work.

Apparently rushing to release the game ends up badly.

It's almost like they intended for it... to be a challenge!

Orrr you just don't know how to use the Icarus Potion. You have to find the rhythm to it. If you're button-mashing, you won't go anywhere, and that's entirely intentional.

Don't get me wrong, the rest of the complaints are entirely valid (although I love the narrator myself), but these two? Not so much.

the thing with the icarus potion though is it only glitches for me on that one level. and only after i kill the first 2 worms and the next 3 then spawn is when the potion refuses to work. it seems to be glitched. because before i kill the first two worms the potion works fine. once they die the potion refuses to work at least 97% of the time. i do apologize as for whatever reason i failed to mention that in the opening post. probably got distracted in my rage at team 17 for botching the beloved worms name

and no the jetpack i cant say isnt a valid complaint. i really dont see how horrible steering controls doesnt classify as valid complaint followed by flying through items and it not collecting them.

and you are a brave man loving the voice overs *shutters* i suppose that is an opinion but geez worst voice overs ever. though the credits was rather funny lol.

with such sound logic team17 should hire you!

If it makes you feel better, I never managed to beat that mission on the original Worms 4 either.

I like the new voices, although the new narrator can be a bit iffy. I always thought the "me me" language was kinda weird since the worms talk normally in-game.

i could beat that mission in the original worms 4 just fine it just seems its not glitched

yea meme was weird but me and my friends found it hilarious. while none of my friends except one really played worms it remains a running joke amongst us lol. and hey they said NO lol and screamed.

I was disapointed to find that not matter what speech bank you pick, the voice in the cut scenes stays the same.
