Frozen Cortex

[Huw the Poo]

Youtube uploading is broken on "some machines" apparently; the devs are aware and working to fix it.

Yeah my first completed game I absolutely smashed the AI, it was something like 27-2.  However he beat me on the next by a gnat's foreskin.  It was 7-7 and he was throwing to a receiver in the endzone.  I tried to intercept.  The simulation said I'd make it but I didn't, and the game entered sudden death while the throw was in the air, meaning it was all over as soon as it was caught, goddammit.  There's a post on the Steam forum asking the devs to look at the simulation code, because it's definitely broken in some cases.

Oh and I quite like the music myself, actually!  Very similar to the Frozen Synapse soundtrack, which I have a copy of I believe.

they fix the youtube uploading yet?

I ended up being pretty disappointed with this one.  There are two things I'm waiting for them to fix (if ever):

Option to skip cinematics.  Why this hasn't been included is absolutely beyond me.  As soon as a cinematic begins I click to skip it.  It interrupts the flow and makes a mockery of your camera placement and tactical train of thought.  I hate it.

Unreliable prediction.  In Frozen Synapse the turn planner was 100% accurate when predicting the turn outcome.  In Frozen Cortex it simply isn't.  Therefore I often find myself missing intercepts, for example, even when I anticipate my opponent's moves precisely.  Deal-breaker.

i read the option to skip 3d outcomes is in now. I wouldn't mind them if the angle wasn't so bad and you could move the camera around freely, i like to watch a good hit.
