They don't even
WANT us to buy this game. I can't get it online for PC, nor can I even buy it at the official Gamestop.ca retailer as a DVD copy.
Seriously, what are they paying their distributors for? They should have put it on Steam for PC and be done with it. 15 bucks, even if it's crap, is fine. Not all of us are welfare queens living in our mother's basements.
Besides, I love gauntlet. Nothing better after a long day coding games than coming home and chucking some axes at undead. The biggest shortcoming is not being able to customize your character. That is some serious fail to me. Or at least allow Rangers to be in there, and pick your race too. Why can't I be a dwarf fighter? It's ridiculous. A Halfling mage? An elf rogue? Those are TERRIBLE decisions. There should be an elf ranger, at least. Halfling should have been the rogue. Some twit up in corporate HQ probably thought they were being avant-guarde by making the wizard a halfling and forcing us to play that. Lame.
IMO for games like this for 15$, even if they suck, WILL sell just due to name recognition. Not everyone reads reviews on gamer sites, some people will just see D&D coop game, oooh!, I'm buying it. Too bad Atari fails and doesn't have a distribution channel.
I don't even own an Xbox (nor will I ever), and I cannot legally purchase the game for PC. What are my other options, I wonder....??? hmmmmm.
