Maiden has developed a full culture around their art and their music, one that is perfect for a game like this, and one that provides unlimited stories and ideas for keeping the target audience - the Maiden fan - completely engaged. But instead we were pacified with what, BNW? A cool land with an awesome boss, but it took 12 mins to clear a level to get extremely poor rewards. And NO storyline. Just a reskin of the LOL grind with a different boss. Honestly, I can't even remember when I played part of this game on manual or looked forward to the outcome of whatever it was I was doing - other than looking forward to it being over. Where's the 7th Son mission and the key to unlock him when you purchase a physical copy of the 7th son anniversary CD with bonus live content? No, this doesn't exist. Of course. So many missed opportunities for Maiden and the fans, it's disgusting.
This game has something that so many games wish they had - a built in audience and infinite promise. But that promise has quickly proven to be simply infinite dreams, with no delivery where it really matters. Most of us are still here because we believe in the potential, or have a sick compulsion (both for many of us). But at some point you have to stop believing that the kid will grow up and be a professional pitcher when he still can't throw a fucking ball. And I hope things change, and we get new content, and this game turns it around and starts to live up to its potential, blah blah blah. When that day comes, I'll be back, excited, and playing alongside you with the same music we love blasting in the background. But until then, my dear Troopers, I'm barely getting it done for you, and I likely won't be. So if badges are important to you then no hard feelings for the drop. I just don't have it in me to even autoplay down 20% of my phone's battery right now.
