[quote name="Mischief Maker"][quote name="Eurotrash"]If you hate the game so much, why do you keep playing it?[/quote] If you don't have something nice to say, harsh independent videogame review site unsupported by advertising or Twitter contests, don't say anything! [quote]What difficulty are you playing on anyway? Classic is unbalanced and the AI cheats. Play on Normal.[/quote] Psh! Yeah, ICJ, why bitch about the broken parts of the game? Work around the broken parts and enjoy the portions that don't suck! Stop being so mean to AAA developer Firaxis, they gave the consumer demographic something vaguely approximating what that demographic would want (for $60) instead of a game obviously destined to bomb! This was a completely selfless act on their part, here! [quote]Look, man. You obviously play this game expecting a straight remake. It's not a straight remake. If they included everything from the original it'd end up a jumbled mess, or, best case, it'd play a lot slower than the current version.[/quote] I think ICJ's whole point is that this game IS a jumbled mess of poorly thought-out design mistakes. [quote]I'm not trying to suck Firaxis' cock here,[/quote] Oh yes you are. Consider this an intervention, dude, because every one of your comments in this thread mirror the responses I got when I declared Final Fantasy Tactics A2 the most disappointing game in the DS library. "Psh! What a fool! He thinks that because it has the title of the greatest Strategy RPG ever made on consoles that it should actually PLAY like the original title. Didn't you see that "A" in the title? Even if core gameplay concepts were borked by incredibly stupid design decisions, <I>I</I> still had a lot of fun with it. Stop telling me the emperor has no clothes, you're ruining it!" [quote]I just found the game to be surprisingly fun, very streamlined and balanced on Normal difficulty. Maybe because I wasn't trying to nitpick each and every change from the original. Which there are a lot of, but get over it man. Enjoy life. Take a vacation.[/quote] If nerds want the perfect example of the "Shock doctrine" it would be that fucking X-Com FPS. Oh no, now the chances of an HD remake of the original are going to be forever shot PANIC! Wait? What? You AREN'T going to go all phantom menace on us? You ARE going to release a turn based squad tactics strategy game? Hooray, I will love you forever? Retarded design mistakes? Never mind, at least it's not an FPS battling against aliens made of legos![/quote]
