lol what a fucking joke. Then again I doubt these guys would have been able to make a good game anyway, I bet it's gonna run poorly, be full of bugs and have horrible animations and controls

Ohh, and I just found out that there's no inventory screen on the world-map. Meaning you have to pick everything up manually per sector...
They couldn't even include such an obvious thing which made game-play much more fun/smooth.

ixigia: now THAT quote just makes me puke. We should hack their website and point their customers here where fans actually do justice to the series.

Damn i'm getting confused...
Did JA2: Reloaded become JA:BiA or are they seperate games?
And there is still JA:online which looks better in my opinion and at least still turn based.
What about JA3, did that get canned or rolled into one of these games or what?

Reloaded and BiA are the same game.
Reloaded was supposed to be a complete remake of JA2 with updated graphics but when they realized they couldn't deliver they changed the name of it to BiA.

Release date is pushed forward to the 7th for some reason, nothing is posted about this on their website. Just that steam has it listed 2 days earlier...

I know, but I can't help to think there might still be a tiny glint of hope for this game.
I love JA2 and 1.13 to death and still play them lots.
That's why I can't help following this turd and hoping it won't be as bad as it seems....

That's kinda like hoping there willl be another PROPER Wizardry game. Speaking of which, I have a save game from W8 lying around with a 4 character party. I went all-hybrids in this one but their magic is SORELY underdeveloped. :/ I just don't have the patience to grind up those magic skills anymore.

They removed IMP?! That was one of the coolest things in JA2... Tried the demo, was okish to mediocre... lets see how the full game fares. But im hugely disappointed right now. The 3D portraits are fugly, bring back the 2D portraits!!! Its not really expensive to hire a good 2d artist to reimagine the original Mercs and it would add a lot of style.

Mindboggling isn't it...
I can't figure out why the fuck they went in that direction but they did, same with alot of the things in the game. |

I enjoyed the demo, but then again I've never played any of the previous games.

the gameplay itself isn't that bad, but the mission to demo the game with is just the worst
why would they do that, unless they purposefully don't want people to play it?

dont forget to turn on the automatic pause on various events in the options, makes it alot more tactical.

Yeah, probably going to cancel my pre-order. As soon as I figure out how, never had to do it through steam. o.O |
