Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports
I seem to be the only one in the world who is uncautiously optimistic. Sure, the game's got some serious flaws and rough edges, but so did SE4, and the improvments to the combat system and modability are nothing short of massive. Yet most of the buzz I'm hearing is negative.
It makes me wonder if this isn't another case of a great game destroyed by its own community, who turned on the game because it was too different from the previous ones and because they felt that they weren't being listened to. Then when new people try to pick up the game, they carry all the negative buzz with them and notice the problems more than they would have, and don't give it a fair chance. Reviewers are influenced by the negative buzz generated by the fans (turned anti-fans), and don't want to look like idiots, so they give it a bad score, and the whole franchise crashes and burns because of a bunch of whining idiots on forums complaining about virtually nothing. I'm not saying it will happen to SEV to that extent, but that is exactly what happened to Fallout Tactics.
Sorry for the rant, but I really am starting to see people developing and spreading irrational opinions of the game based on things like Aaron supposedly ignoring beta testers (which may or may not actually be true, but has no bearing on the quality of the game), and I would hate to see it happen to SEV.
