[Game] Jagged Alliance - Back in Action
- Thread starter Moyako
- Start date
Too bad that they removed original turn based gameplay, fog of war and much more tactical elements from the series = no buy for me.
What's more JA:BIA is not even close to JA2 1.13 which is truly awesome.

I am too sceptical. While I do like the paused real time approach of the Brigade series and thus am not too quiffed about the removal of the classical turn based mode, I have to agree with apos on the rest.
But well, kudos to the devs for at least trying to do a modern tactics game.

Hmm usually when things are turn based and people love it in a game, it tends to be a bad thing when they drop it and go real-time...

Well, JA:BIA is dumped down version of JA 2 on many fronts.

There is also long list made by fans of 2.0 why JA:BIA isn't real JA title.

No buy.
If they added Pausable Real Time to JA2 1.13, I'd sell my soul for it (no friend of TBS, moi), but this abominable cash-cow crap is flying right past me.

lol having bad voice acting should be a good thing for these games to be proper sequels
. Its almost a staple of the genre with Jagged Alliance 2 and Silent Storm, both of which have laughably bad voice work. Some of the dialogue and voice work is pretty amusing tho when you hear the random quips. "Time to take out out the trash"

Read this page for some dev comments on Fog of War:
http://boards.jaggedalliance.com/in...-to-be-a-feature-of-back-in-action-yes-or-no/
They might do a "hardcorepatch for the JA-Geeks".
He is keen to stress that the game is still hard even without FoW. I don't really expect much from the game though, and seems it won't be a favourite with JA fans. It just seems really odd to do an actual remake and then leave so much out, and call people who might want something as basic as Fog of War JA Geeks
I got the demo and will give it a try sometime. Might pick JA-BIA up when its like

Could you explain what you mean exactly by "tactical approach", Apos? I've played v1.13 quite a lot and I would like to know how exactly does the new JA not have a "tactical approach", in your view (I have not yet tried the demo).

If only they could've just slapped real time mechanics onto JA2.113, that'd have been perfect ...

I gotta say. if you like strategy games. you should try it, its rare and awzm. only other game simular to this gotta be "commandos"
but this title is kinda "special" like Oblivion was for most people. but are you up for it shoot from the hip
