Fuck's sake, WHY? How do you win, by leaving your ship on auto pilot to crash into the sun while you frolic in a loincloth?

It makes no sense to make a game out of a property that is done and over.
(Unless someone's going to fund Larson's lunatic idea to remake the original series with all its anti-democratic right wing aspects intact.)

You don't get it. It's a sandbox! How many humans were alive after the Cylon nuking of the 12 colonies? 47000? You are one of them, and since it's skill based (no levels) you can become anything from a lawyer to a marine, from a journalist to a viper pilot, from a mechanic specialist to a cook in one of the many cantinas. No one can play a officer, a commander, or the President. In the meantime, war rages on. I guess you can call it Galactica Galaxies.
(I am really curious to actually find out where the hell are they going with this).

Dont we have a BSGO thread in the browsergame section or something?
Also, where are people getting design info. on this thing?
How do we know it's a sandbox? Gimme quotes.

Fucker.
I've already x-ed out the fall season 'cause of this thing.
Then again, I've also started drafting nerdragey hatemail for Bigpoint if/when it bombs.

Stop being silly and dissing the new Galactica. Why you people didn't complain in 1987 when they made a new, silly Star Trek? Now, get off my Battlestar. Dismissed.  |

Diversity my ass. If you want to make a new story you do not need to use the same characters. I am not going to sit here and bash the new Galactica, it was simply not interesting enough for me. It dragged on and lost my interest. The point is, why remake something? Why not do something new with the franchise?
As for the Star Trek comments, were you reading this board in 1987? Sure it was the same ship name but the crew was different and played different roles. Different names, different expectations. If you want to reskin things I will take the original, thanks.

The fuck we didn't. Also, they could have had hot chick Viper pilots AND Dirk Benedict. I don't know why they didn't. I can't imagine he would have been asking for that much money since he hasn't worked since the seventies. With that said, she wasn't a bad character. She just should never have been saddled with the 'Starbuck' moniker. It made it stupid. |

Not to mention that TNG wasn't exactly a purported remake of the original series. BSG was them taking a fun, cheesy Star Wars ripoff space opera and turned it into some half-assed character study for people who think Dragonlance is literature.

I'm just going to post here and say this:
The new Battlestar was an amazing series (no matter how bad you thought the ending itself was) and about a billion times better than the original. I mean literally, every single actor in the new series is greater than any actor from the old series in every single way. They were all shitty inferiors. The worst thing the new battlestar had going for it was the fact that it had the name "Battlestar Galactica" in its name, a well known shitty series. It would probably have done better if it had been named differently. The new battlestar is the ONLY Battlestar, and I'll forgot there was anything before it from here on. You can all go fuck yourselves.

Wait, there's people who prefer the 70's BSG to the remake, and not in a "secretly ironic" way?  |

Or they're both terrible because genre fiction almost universally sucks but one BSG was a fun romp while the other was ponderous tripe.

The new Battlestar was an amazing series until it turned into Days of our Lives in space.

Original BSG was laughably bad, well behind even stuff like Buck Rogers. For something to be a "fun romp" it has to actually be fun rather than being painfully bad.
