New MTW2 Q & A at Gamespot

[screwtype]

How many of you bought the RTW expansion? If you did, you just encouraged them to do more of the same.

I didn't buy it. Nothing anybody said about the expansion persuaded me it was substantially better than RTW.

Although now I think about it, the price may have come down to a more acceptable level by now...

I don't think I'll be buying M2TW sight unseen either. I'll probably wait until I hear how the grognard community receives it. I just recently threw away $100 on a speculative purchase of Civ4 that I regard as a waste of money, and I have no desire to repeat the experience any time soon.

has it ever occured to any of these game developers that nerds make better games than businessmen? Its like they're trying to be used car salesmen or something, this baby looks cool on the outside, but personally I'm more concerned about whats under the hood.

Such as a smarter dynamic AI, moddability, and User Interface. Not OUR UNITS NOW LOOK COOL BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT SHIELDS, FACES, AND LIMBS! BUY THIS GAME, BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE THE BEST TACTICAL SIMULATOR EVER MADE!!!!

I think some of CAs marketers need to go back to college, if they ever did.
