There is no magic button. TGC never promised that FPSC would make the game you want to make. They only promised that it would make games "out of the box", and it does that well. It will make a playable Sci-Fi or WW2-like FPS with little or no effort on the end users part. The problem is that some people want it to do what they want it to do automatically, or easily. No one ever promised that.
You should think of FPSC as a generic starting point, waiting for you to mold it into the vision you have in your head. It is an engine you can use to make your game, not a magic game maker.
I keep hearing about the bad AI. Sorry, but it keeps bringing me back to the magic button. The AI is capable of doing most anything you tell it to, but you must learn how to tell it. The engine will accept and manipulate any imaginable model, if you make it. You can create any environment using custom segments, once you create them. You can add sounds, music, movies, images, etc.
Yet we hear; the world is too small, or the FPS is too slow, or the AI is too dumb, or etc. There are just too many things stopping some people from making a good game, and I have a feeling that there always will be. Meanwhile, others amaze us with new creations and creative thinking almost daily.
I'm not pointing this at anyone, and forgive me for being long winded. I just don't understand the way some think.
Happy game making.
