Jagged Alliance 2 Gold

[professorspatula]

Bit of an update for all the 1 or 2 people who actually care about the Steam issue:

Support got back to me saying would I like to 'cancel the order'. It makes it sound like it's an ongoing transaction which is slightly odd as the money is paid and I have the game, or bits of what, whatever you can call the mess they let you download. If this means I can get a refund, then I'm sure as hell taking it.

They also said they are working to bring the 'Unfinished Business' add-on to the game, having not had the full gold content available at the time of sale. So basically when we bought the game, we weren't buying the Gold Edition at that time. They were intending to supply the content at some stage, but a question mark must remain on whether or not it's right to allow the customer to sign a binding agreement with Steam, whilst being unaware of any potential problems that Steam themselves already knew about. I suppose if you look into their user agreement, they cover themselves pretty well, but it's frightening stuff to be honest, and far from customer friendly.

Now I've touched the surface of JA2, I just want a fully working version to be honest. And after this, a non-Steam version as well. I've got some mercs I need to command, some people I need to shoot, and a country to liberate. And then I might go and load the game after doing all that!

The expansion, Unfinished Business, got disappointing reviews and is not very highly rated by the fans. If you want to buy a copy of JA2, you don't have to restrict yourself to the one that includes the expansion. Try to get a copy with a printed manual if you can, it's a decent one.

All this talk of JA2 is almost tempting me to go back to it, although I have got further with Fallout Tactics than ever before and it is actually growing one me (the quality of the missions does not seem to decline as I feared).
