Take On Helicopters reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Spain
But what infested syphilitic macaque excrement is this!? For the Czechs of "Bohemian Interactive", piloting helicopters, whether commercial or combat, must be very fun thanks to the Avecrem that are smoked, but the reality is far from their fantasies. Because, Kid, if you don't have a pilot's license, the tutorials for this game will make you insufferable. That if the cyclic, that if the collective, that if the choke, that if you look at the battery, that if you look at the beers in the fridge, that if they are inflated the wheels, etcetera. What would become the work of the C0jones mechanic. Once seated and at the controls of one of these pots, you will lack three or four keyboards and two or three joysticks to know how noses the engine turns on. For What is going to indicate the tutorial the keys you have to press, right? Or worse, that tells you, because it will bombard you with tons of text. And What is even more serious, why do you want to start the flight with your helicopter when the scenarios you are going to contemplate lack the slightest effort on the part of the designers? Because that's another one. Scenarios that appear to stumble, textures that load on the fly, shadows that appear and disappear, fuzzy soil (you think you suffer myopia) or a framerate unstable and low despite having a computer that far exceeds the recommended, are some of the Niceties devised by the boys of "Bohemia". In fact, your CPU and GPU can die for achicharramiento given the bad optimization of the game. Have these people become fools? And This is not to forget the insufferable loads (slow, static, brought from the time of the PSX) and some controls that, at times, you will think they have been programmed to make you lose your nerves. With regard to the sound section, and given the short time I've spent, I can't say anything special. The little I've heard has seemed impoverished, without chicha or lard anywhere. The game has the voices in English, which I appreciate that have not been dubbed to Spanish, because, to hear the story of Mi3rda who endorse us, it is better not to know. As you do, you will prefer to drill your ear with a dentist lathe. Because What kind of argument is that in which a clown from Chichinabo has to inherit a helicopter company because his brother's nerd goes and crashes in front of him? All this told by a boring intro, and that gives reasons to look for the menu and exit the game. Look, let's be honest: if you like helicopter simulators, take off a real license, pay for it and buy a chopper. Of the real ones. But do not play this 1mbecilidad programmed by people from eastern Europe who we should to close the borders for their high degree of supreme cretin3z. What you're holding is not a helicopter simulator. It's Not a helicopter crash simulator Either. It Is A rare thing they have done pulling an existing graphic engine and that does not seem to like anyone. Gentlemen of "Bohemia", if I had paid for this aberration, I would be demanding the refund of my money (Steam gives that option if conditions are fulfilled, so I do not know what you expect to make use of it). Moreover, it would be demanding compensation for damages, because often damage and often detriment that provocáis in the minds of shoppers after discovering that this hodgepodge... occupies 17 GB of hard Drive! In fact, I would ask for compensation for how you wasted my time. WHO should include this game between recognized occupational diseases, so that no betatester of this game has to run out of disability pension when he decides to take his brains out of the nose with the tip of a knife. If you have any enemies, give this truño. I did ^^ With affection for Millenia, the Lamelorzas.
