I was hoping, too. My touch screen is a wreck.
More like "people complained about the thing we were going to charge for." They do this with some games, removing features to see what they can get away with as paid content and what they'll have to add back for free due to outcry. See: Mass Effect 3 extended ending. That thing was going to exist anyway; we were just going to have to pay for it (and at this point, people who don't already have it would have to pay for it).
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This was basically my thought. People came for Adam, but he's apparently stopped caring about games because he can't deal with the community. Now he's shilling himself to Bethesda, using his old career as cover as he does "interviews" with Shinji Mikami, while still trying to claim authority in the industry he largely abandoned.
Or, you know, he's working as a consultant, as he he does now and where anyone with any intelligence goes when their done with the shitty pay of the enthusiast press. Same thing people like N'Gai Croal and Jeff Green do now.
He can call it what he likes. He's still using his old image in a largely manufactured experience, passing it of as the same work he did before. It's not.
Sounds like a politician.
Old school side scrolling brawler... controlled by Kinect.
*sigh* The last bastion of hope is now fizzled out because it's going to be an abomination.
Agreed, it's a fun game, and the story's fairly interesting (though admittedly I've not finished the game yet). Apparently the PC version is pretty customizable in terms of gfx, too, unlike other recent ports, so you can make it look pretty fabulous if you've got the rig for it.
For those on the fence:
I'll bet you it goes on sale during the steam christmas sale.
Yes and no. You get to pick and choose which units you want instead of getting them as the story progresses. You DO get to level them up and prestige them like in Fire Emblem though. However, it's not classic fantasy. It's modern fantasy set in WW2.
Vaguely, in that it's turn-based, However you control the selected unit through 3rd-person, and you aim attacks as opposed to relying solely on a hit/miss system like most RPGs. Units level and gain abilities, and you still have to equip them, but there's also a sort of base-management system in researching new tech for equipment, hiring new soldiers, etc.
I wish they'd release THAT for PC, too. Never did get to finish it.
I'm pretty sure the Gamecube version (with all the extra content) is on the Wii or Wii U marketplace. Otherwise... yeah, you're out of luck unless you still have a Gamecube.
There's always emulators... just throwing that out there.
It depends on the level of emulation, as my computer is a toaster.
The last time I ran a dreamcast emulator, it was on a pentium 4 with 500mb of ram.
Emulators are weird beasts. I can run a PSP and PS2 emulator just fine (the PS2 one is great because I can actually use my original disks, so it's not even pirating) and they don't tax my system, but game cube emulators run for crap. so go figure.
