NO! No Steam! What about people, who don't have a i-connection with their game-machine (or even no i-connection in general) ?? I hate it to be forced to connect me with internet and pay additonal EUR and waste time with my 56k-modem, only to run up a programm, which I've paid for. There's no reason to accept additional costs!
Starforce isn't fine too, but most of the time I had no problems.
Now to another important point, which makes for me the decision to buy or not:
[color:"red"]Movement only via mouse-click![/color] Every usage of the arrow-keys is no innovation but a torture and - imho - with no deeper sense.
When I try to chill I want to play a game without having stress with the direction of my walk. Of course I have no problem to use all kind of (F-)keys for herbs, potions and/or other abilities, but not for movement or picking up things!!
I prefer the good old Iso-perspective in which it's possible to set the direction of movement with only one mouse-click!
I'm not generally against innovations and for example a turnable camera is usefull in special moments and opens some additonal possibilities in game design, maybe, but that needn't .... no, must not end in a spasm while I try to find the right direction. Not to mention it's more relaxed to play with the mouse und add the keyboard only for more complex choices.
A free camera is a good thing, as long it's possible to fix and save a iso-perspektive. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
This two points are the most important ones for me, I'd say.
Action habe ich genug! Laßt mich in Ruhe vor mich hin latschen und rätseln!
