Yup, truly is a steaming pile of excrement. I hope this makes it’s way to Zero Punctuation, just to see how far Mr Croshaw can go ;)

Even the installer’s a joke. 1GB download unpacks into a further 3x 1GB .msi files, 2 in the temp folder, and one in ~/system32/installer (then there’s space needed for the actual game folder). So to install the damn thing you need over 5GB of free disk space.

Yet to run it, but if the devs are too stupid to use installshield properly, they can’t possibly make a good game.

Being the masochist that I am, I downloaded and played some of it. Awful, terrible, horrible mess of a game.

Hmmm… that’s what I thought Ging and dhex.

Wonder how much money they spent on those lame B-rate movie action scenes? It’s funny that someone that that was a good idea… and that it GOT APPROVED. Ha ha ha

I actually fought my way through the entire demo – it wasn’t on my list of games to buy before I played it, it’s never getting on it now I have done.

If it is that bad, shouldn’t the release tag be:

Conflict: Denied Ops, Spurned Opportunity, Incited Opposition?

or just:

One developer’s Denied Ops writ in 5 meters of fire are to Windows Illegal Ops in 22 inches of blue.

I can see it now… The blog post when the game is released:

Conflict: Denied Ops, But Allowed Release

Conflict: Denied Ops, But Allowed Gold Master

Conflict: Denied Ops, But Allowed Onto Retail Shelves

PROVE ME WRONG!!!

I’d take it. It can’t be that bad. Can it?
