You know those god-awful B horror movies or whatever people call them or the 'made for TV' movies on SyFy, things like Evil Dead? I've come to the conclusion Elemental (the current release version) is a game version of movies like that, this game has so many issues it's kind of like a very entertaining train wreck. Bear with me, I actually make mention of this in an endearing way, I AM entertained by the game but there is so much that is just so broken, missing, unbalanced, unexplained or just plain laughable I can't help but guffaw every 5min or so. Truly, thank you, I've never had more fun with something so, admittedly, unfinished.
I love Evil Dead and I actually like a lot of the movies that they have on SyFy channel, but not because they are good but because they are so hilarious, cliche and corny, I'm entertained and it's fun and I gotta say, as many issues as this game very clearly has, it's still fun and I still fight though all the issues just to get another laugh out of it.
I figure in a way, this is a compliment to the team at Stardock, don't get the wrong idea, you guys will fix it and get this thing polished and working correctly in time I'm sure and I really do see a gem under everything, just keep at it. Playing the game in its current state can be frustrating but with the right attitude I think this game isn't as bad as some other broken games, it's actually funny and entertaining, Evil Dead got a cult following, if I had to guess, so will this!
This is NOT a slap in the face, it's actually kudos given the state of things, it could be worse, as long as I don't take it seriously, the game is enjoyable as it is, I can only imagine it will get better and I can begin to take a serious look at what I think everyone (Stardock and us fans) expect the game will be down the road.
Keep up the hard work!!
