"Well, it is a new game and was never intended to be a remake of JA2 (or JA2 with the 1.13 mod either)."
Dude, stop talk about JA2 with 1.13 attached, i speak simply of JA2...
I have played hundreds of hours without this patch, this is not the subject !
When you do a 2 to a 1, or a 3 to a 2, you have to respect the fundamentals of the predecessor !
How ? Respect the base, the soul of your game and improve it !
I know very very well JA2 and one hour in battle in JA3 is enought to see it's not the real successor of JA2 !
JA2 was the real successor of JA1 !
JA3? It's an arcade version of JA2, because a lot of people found it too hard...
Problem is that easy and realist can't go same way...
For me? Problem solved, uninstalled and refunded...
Impressive for a BIG JA2's fan waiting a 3 for decades, and after one hour, this?
Failed for them ! Just another Jagged Alliance online, etc...
Bad for me ! Oh but it's beautifull, great 3D engine, etc...but i don't care !
Great point ! I just bought JA2 gold (with your damned patch 1.13 !!!) with JA2 and JA2 UB, ready for a big travel 20 years later ! Thx !
