How you lost a sale

1. No sound volume option - SERIOUSLY? There are people who play with headsets who don't like their ears by very loud games.
2. You didn't even try to port the interface, very shoddy job. No arrow keys? No Enter and Escape? Did no one test the interface before you released it?
3. Ingame it isn't much better, weird mouse acceleration and over use of space key.

I'm glad there was a demo, saved me 40€. As much as i love co-op games, but this one i'll pass.

You're right. That is lame that it's not there and I don't excuse that but c'mon, how hard is it for you to turn the volume down yourself a little bit?

Agreed.

It's too bad because despite those things I enjoyed the demo for what it is but I need to see at least one good patch and price drop before I'd consider buying. There's potential here.

Because i would still not be able to understand my friends on Teamspeak. I'm on Windows XP, which does not have an application specific volume control. So it's ear or no game at all.

Yeah, the game has potential, but it needs a serious UI overhaul. Something they should have done in the first place and i seriously doubt they'll fix it.

good thing mine was tradable, when i saw the comments here on the forums, and the horrible demo. I traded it without second though. By the time they fixed this game, The player base is dead, oh wait it is.

D'oh! You're right.

It'd be a nice surprise.

Thank you internet, for completely cheapening one of the worst things that can happen to a person.

1. Ok, sound volume slider got added in the patch. That argument isn't valid anymore. Why not in the first place, huh?
2. Interface improved only slightly. Mouse controls in menus are still ed up. At least we can use arrow , enter and escape keys now.
3. Unchanged. Still very weird behavior of acceleration. I wish i could turn it off. It's a mouse, not a gamepad.

P.S.: Cookie points for patching the demo, still not buying the full game. Still not worth it.

Why would you mute the dialigue? Muting dialogue means you can careless about interacting with the AI characters, which is one of the main points of the game.

There are all sorts of reasons to want to be able to manipulate audio levels. Usually I make the Audio louder than everything else because otherwise I have trouble understanding what I am hearing (ADD side affect). This time I want to mute it because I am only able to modify the subtitles and not the audio as well, there are close to 50 counts of verbal blasphemy in the strings file I have censored out.
