So, has anyone bought Cossacks III? After looking at several videos and reading the reviews I not really in a hurry to buy the game. My reasons:
1) I did not like the idea of a 3D remake from the start. IMO part of the charm of Cossacks I and II was in it's beautifully drawn 2D graphics. It's not graphics that count, it's the gameplay. The 2D graphics in CI worked flawlessly.
2) Fewer elements than in CI. No 18th century ships, not all nations from BtW were included. This implies that the game was either severely rushed or content was deliberately cut from the game to make DLCs. Because Steam. :-(
3) Matchmaking instead of good old LAN support. Because Steam.
4) Weird animations. They look strange and sudden somehow. Unnatural. I don't know why exactly but this is the impression I get.
What do you think? Do you agree? Do you have a different opinion or experience? Please post.
PS: I think a good amount of original talented developers are not even in GSC anymore (4A Games anyone?)
