This just reminds me that Adam was awesome, but SEGA hated him for some reason.Quote:

I find Growl port a bit more impressive in performance than SoR1, SoR1 is just 30 fps + slowdowns at times
YES! Never considered that before, great idea.Quote:

However, this is my first time delving into pre-paying for a development game. This thread has me concerned that I will lose the money I put into the pre-order, but is this something I should really be concerned about?
Hard to say. I've only dealt with WM one other time and that was when I pre-ordered Pier Solar for the Genesis many years back. I can't recall the exact amount of time, but I believe I pre-ordered it like 2 or 3 years before I actually received it. Could have been longer. I do know I was working at one job with a company...got laid off....took 7 months to find work again...and then not too long around Christmas a year or two after that...Pier Solar appeared in my mailbox.Quote:

. . . Whenever they ask for that delivery address. . .
This is the part I hate about this. There is so much drama during the buildup, the purchase/delivery process should at least be enjoyable. I don't know how WM expects to keep customers/fans if their dev process is so mind-bogglingly frustrating. I want this game, but I can't really stand WM as a company. It just kinda makes the experience less enjoyable.
If you feel that way you should really wait until the game is released, then buy it. If pre-orders go out of stock i'm sure they'll reprint the game, otherwise they are throwing away money.Quote:

Based on their past history, your money should be safe, but you are in for a wait. Chances are in your favor that you will receive a polished looking and professionally packaged product. As for the game itself, that is a different story. On a technical level, Pier Solar was great, but as a game, it was flawed.Quote:

I know that on my model 1 Sega CD the damn music tracks skip all over the place but play fine in my CDX and I remember them playing fine on my X'eye when I had that. I think I've heard of other bugs or something in the game itself but again haven't played it enough to know or find them. So yeah, I'm curious to know so that perhaps when I do start to play it again, with FM only since my model 1 CD doesn't like it, I know what to avoid or expect?Quote:

The leveling system is messed up, the town layouts are REALLY bad, and the encounter rate is brutal. Its one of the prettiest RPGs on the system, and the chip music is pretty sweet too. But it is not fun to play.
