That's cool, but I wish they'd do a completely new one.

Well, MUA2 never came out for PC (before).

Plus, there have been rumors (for years now) that MUA3 is in the works, and until today I never took them seriously.

True. At least there's some hope for MUA3 now.

Holy testicle tuesdays Batman!  They're quite proud of these old games, judging by the price.  :o


Definitely want, but they're gonna have to hit a sale before I get 'em.

The used console versions are pricey too. I think MUA2 for 360 cost me $20-$25 a few months ago. Great games though.

Agreed 100% I never played the second one but played the hell out of the first. That said I won't post more than 20 for the set

Reviews are apparently slamming it too as a crap port...controls all broke.

That's too bad. Hard to imagine screwing up the controls for such simple games.

Most of those reviews seem to be from people who just want to bash the game due to its price (as in, not being free
with a customary BJ). Abusing Steam's crappy buy/review/refund system.

No, I think there's enough smoke to indicate fire. The problems between the two ports seem significantly different. That the publishers are charging so much would be an insult on top of injury.

I've been reading reports that the first one also doesn't include the expansion content, but #2 does. 

Wonder if they'll resolve some of the complaints, or just leave it as a quick & dirty port job.  At the price they're asking, I hope the control scheme isn't too bad.

Nefaro

I don't normally watch his videos, but saw this vid regarding some of the port complaints..






That mouse & keyboard system looks terrible.  As if whomever did it had never played an action-rpg on the PC before, and has no clue as to the tried & true.    :-\

Tpek

The PC version is pretty much a direct port of the new console version.

However, even the original MUA had these terrible controls.

It's sad that they never bothered to actually adjust the game for the PC, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me.
