Bring it back to PC, and without the in-app purchases. My Dad plays this game (68 years old) and he couldn't handle all the micro-transactions that went on with the 2nd one. He has the 1st one, and plays it everyday. I'd just do a one time $50 buy for him, and he'd be happy. But it's EA. Who am I kidding?
I'm an avid hockey fan, (Toronto Maple Leafs baby!) and the most recent games of NHL have become more focused on realism, and less focused on fun in my opinion. NHL 3's became my go-to recently when I play, just because of the pure level of fun. But watching that trailer, makes me wanna dive into this again. Looks great!
I instead bought an old PS1 for $25, and picked up a few gems at my local video game shop: Legend of Dragoon, Tony Hawk 2, Tomb Raider 2, NFL Blitz, Tactics Ogre. Feels good to have the old original machine up and running again.
@warmblur: You were a LEGEND if you pulled off a fatality that wasn't Sub-Zero or Scorpion. Man, those were fun days. I remember accidentally doing a Milenna fatality, the one where she eats you, and spits out the bones, people were freaking out asking me how I did it, and I'm like "I Don't KNOW!!!!" hahaha.
I've been playing this for over a year on Steam. It's fantastic.
It was in 'early development' since 2017, so just recently, it's finally got a full release. We were all pretty pissed about how long that took. Like they were working on a different game for two years or something.
I loaded it up again last week to try the campaign, it's as the author says, very slow, and boring for players who wanted action, and are already well versed in the game, and RTS genre.
Worth a grab though. But bewarned, hours MELT away while playing this game. It's like Civilizations. Be careful.
I really do miss the arcade culture we all had back in high-school. Getting out of the house and going to mall to meet your buddy and play street fighter 2 for a few hours was awesome.
No heroes trash talking you either like today online. You had respect and class for your opponent because they were standing right beside you. (Well, majority did anyways)
If you're a turn based strategy lover (Like the old Final Fantasies, and Octopath Traveler) - get 'Child of Light'. It's incredible. The music, the art direction, the combat, the story is all first rate.
