Uncompressed video/audio files I'm guessing since the original was on PS3 bluray they didn't have to worry about that.

Originally a PS3 exclusive, so there was a lot of space to spread out on the blu-ray.

It's really good. I haven't played it for a couple weeks. I think I'm just shy of the end, so I should probably finish that this weekend.

It's cool that it got a second life as a PC port. I hope that SEGA does the same thing with Vanquish.

No physical media means you dont have to give a gently caress anymore. Uncompress all the audio and put seven languages on there

if anything like a christmas cease fire had happened i think games posters would have exploded, because they are experts on war based on their many hours of warhammer 40k, and ain't no space marines had a snowball fight with no tyranids

lol seriously? The only thing I've ever really seen anyone get mad about is the ranking being based solely on how fast you finish the map which seems like a legit complaint.

yeah, that is a fair complaint and means that the most 'efficient' way of doing things is just rushing with scouts

i got in a big dumb embarrassing fight in the steam thread about it. everything from people having emotions, there being an animal mascot to there being conversations not 100% depressing and related to war got hated

Yeah seriously.

I loved that game back in the day but dang, I would not have patience for it now.

Maaaaaybe if it got a 3DS port and/or the same options in Bravely Default.

Skies of Arcadia is a good game but I probably wouldn't play it again.

Vyse was a good protagonist.
