[citation][nom]dark_knight33[/nom]A 2009 console game being ported to PC almost 4 years later? Sounds like they are reaching for easy cash. I didn't care much when it released on consoles, and I don't care now. Why anyone is looking forward to a mediocre console game from 3+ years ago being ported to the PC is beyond me. What's even more beyond me is how games like this get a port, but ground breakers like Heavy Rain remain exclusives.[/citation]
oh no, its a few years old... how can anyone lay that crap
thats about all i got out of your comment.
game wasnt worth 60$ and pulled a bait and switch with anyone who didnt know the rts element was a massive part of the game.
but i got it for 17$ about 2 years ago...
money well spent.
its not a bad game... and if you can rip the music from it like you could the 360 and i believe ps3 version, than its worth it for the music alone. ill probably pick it up again on a christmass sale.
[citation][nom]demonhorde665[/nom]I thought the game was freaking awsome on the 360 did you even play it ? it had a really unique rts system built into an action RPG game. it also had an awesome story.The only issue i had with the game is they advertised it as featuring all teh greatest metal bands (it does get most ), but alas it didn't have a single Iron Maiden song , the most influential old school metal band , metallica , mega deth , slayer , sepultura , pantera, Iced earth, and about half the bands that had music in the game were influenced and listened to iron maiden themselves. when i beat the game with not ever seeing any thing from maiden i was like WTF ??? a pc version will be awesome if done right, and hopefully it comes moddable. if they can manage that , i'll grab up a pc version asap.[/citation]
the rts part sucked, not enough to ruin the game... but it blew...
and the game was short, i beat it in i think 6 maybe 7 hours...
and till the tree from the goths, i had no problems in the game at all, it was easy....
iron maiden probably cost WAY to much to license, considering how many other bands are in there.
[citation][nom]dark_knight33[/nom]I've reread info about the game, including my old game informer that had it on the cover. You guys are right in that it was a good, unique game. However, there are a *lot* of good games coming out in 2013, that haven't already been on consoles for years.Perhaps I took too harsh a stance against the game, in calling it mediocre. Still you might forgive me in that it TOOK THREE PLUS YEARS before they deemed the PC good enough to run a console game. If our platform wasn't good enough to launch on, why reward the company for coming to the table long after the game was relevant? I'd rather put my money into BL2, Bioshock Infinite, XCom, Miasmata, Dishonored, etc. I suppose those games aren't in the same genre, but PC has never really been a big destination of Music games. The most popular have been restricted to consoles for a long time. Bringing them to PC only now, as an after thought is insulting to me.[/citation]
adding a platform to develop a game for costs about 10 million dollars.
the game also wasnt a block buster by any means, so a pc version would have hurt it more than anything
after the game tanked on the consoles, and prior to that another game that tanked (one of my favroite games) Psychonauts, im surprised that double fine is still in business.
they have enough money now that moving the game to the pc was possible, i dont see anything bad in that.
