Nobody needs to apologize for living the original ROTT.

The burping in the new one is not ... necessary. It also has some of the most awkward voice acting I have ever heard. HOW APOGEE to not go out and get real voice talent. They're all, psh, we got John St. John to do Duke, that's the extent of the effort this company will ever put into voices.

I don't know what it is about the new ROTT, but I can't see shit.

They also did not bother to respond to me over Twitter when I asked them if they were going to patch in quicksaving. I don't think many of these companies understand why they need a social media person. They're not answering fucking questions, so it's literally just getting a number (followers) to be a higher number than it was the day before.

Not a single "checkpoint" save in the first level. I played for ten minutes and didn't get a goddamn save. This is fucking retarded and it makes me want to strangle RPS/Q23-type idiots who say stupid things like, "Well, I am glad it doesn't have quicksave. It will force other people to play the game how I want." The new ROTT is exactly which save-anywhere is so critical.

That says, I *want* to like the game. It does more or less play like an updated Rise of the Triad. I can't fault it for presentation, or speed. It feels like a 2D game in the good way. Honestly, if they allow proper saving I'd have a much better opinion of it so far. I do really want to like it because they did so many things right.
