Another time I decided to go from my main desktop in the attic to play on my
gaming laptop in the basement so I could keep our dogs company. I install the
game (gave me a fair amount of time to play with the dogs, lol!), fire it up and--
no game content. SIXTY bucks, a so-called AAA title and they can't be bothered
to implement Steam sync?!? So, no decent save system, no Steam sync, funky DRM,
not paricularly good PC optimization (although I have to admit mine runs really
well on some 980Tis, G-Sync 144 Hz 1440P monitor, 32 GB RAM and Intel m.2
SSD--but so many people with all configurations seem to be having problems),
really weak KB/M function (I'd have preferred to use my KB but driving, etc.
feel too "loose" so am using an XBox 360 controller), no sprint, crouch, real aiming
functions, etc.--a lot of people say these are uncessary for this type of game, but why
would it be so difficult/harmful to have them as an option for those of us who would
like them?
Anyway, it all points to me towards Avalanche (well, maybe SqE) trying to do
just as much as necessary and not one bit more to make this a successful
console title (although it actually sounds like they have screwed that up too!)
and as absolutely little as possible extra to squeeze a few more bucks out
of the PC platform which other than those few bucks they obviously have
nothing but disdain/contempt for. Live and learn, don't think I'll be buying any
more Avalanche games.
BTW, I don't particularly enjoy ragging on devs. People like, say, the
Legends of Dawn guys, who honestly mess up but then acknowledge that
and go on to sincerely work on and improve their games have my respect
and props. People like them work hard and should make as much money
as they can. But the majority of this stuff, like JC3, seems to be solely
a money grab with no respect for the customer or product.
