Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

And people say PC doesn't have great exclusives. My favorite game of this year was a PC exclusive Pillars of Eternity. And this game looks great as well.

Smells like a later port. Wii U release is a given.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I'll never understand those that claim PC doesn't, especially the list that people have put together over on sites like Reddit that detail the last 2-3 decades.

Even the devs think this one is looking better than their last one and I'm all in for that in agreement, can't wait to create my version of the A-Team =P, might even make a Nick Fury since our base is an air carrier.

The first one was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to this. I only hope they fix the "more of the same" feeling it eventually settled into. I'd like some fancier base building, too, but I'm alright if they don't include that.

From what I've read, they've addressed some of the game-play issues, like the slow crawl forward until the enemy teleports out of nowhere and begins battle.

My only gripe with this is that they didnt go the Terror from the Deep route.

Other than that, huzzah.
