looks like it'll be fun at launch, after that it'll die a slow death like the first one

I've dreamed of a PS2 since the beta for the first one.

Sadly, I'm sure they'll have an Item shop and a grind.

The balance was relatively on point in the original.




...in other news, started playing quake live and damn is it refreshing to have no xp.

Still not sure about this game. The first was such a cluster fuck.

first game was amazing in beta, then they launched the game and the servers just couldn't handle the strain.

I'm excited to see what they'll do with it now that the tech has improved somewhat. If they get it right, this could be an amazing online game.
