Not just that the game might suck, it could be a fine game, but it could be me. I haven't played any real adventure games for years, would I still enjoy it as much as I once did? I thought the Tales were released as one big game, not just as a download. And it wouldn't make much sense to me to try and capture the non-download customer and then limit it to the online shoppers. But what do I know? I'm not a marketing genius. -- Danny.
