I am still waiting for someone to explain why we NEEDED an alternative to a system that is perfect as it is. Goddamn, the arrogance and ignorance of some developers is irksome. Hi Prez, that's my review. You can't explain why we need it. It works, but as you can also read in my review, I'd still prefer turn-based. We (those that love TB) don't need it but saying something is turn-based does scare away a large number of prospective buyers, so to sell the amounts they need to sell, the publisher and the developer need it.
