[quote]You haven't even played it to see how it works.[/quote] People who say things like this are idiots. What, just because YOU have no capacity for foresight, that means nobody does? How ironically closed-minded that is. Get out. That said, I personally don't care about this Ascension shield thing either way, because I'll probably never play it. Ascension sucks to begin with and anniversary gameplay will be inferior to original.
