What we call a miracle is a miracle because it will never happen again.
Perhaps the reason for this game's defeat is that it failed to analyse why its predecessor was so well received.
It has its good points... it's not possible on PS2 hardware. I would have liked to have done a sequel to GPM with today's software technology. But, It would be impossible.

Personal note. "War and shoes."
"If I ever make it big in the army, I'd like to fix my shoes.
They are better than the old army shoes, but the current shoes are still terrible.
It would be much more useful to improve the shoes than to improve the guns.
Especially since our 108th Security Division doesn't think about transporting vehicles.
No, it's called just shoes....
Shoes can make a big difference to fatigue, accidents on uneven ground and speed of movement.
In this country we are not so particular about shoes because of the habit of taking them off.
Besides, firing a gun is the last thing in the whole action.
But shoes are used from the beginning to the end of the battle."

I have a special hobby that makes me happy to see characters with opinions about shoes.
By the way, Witcher 3 also has some interesting anecdotes about shoes, which were also good.
