well ... in all of the above categories of post I have no difficulty understanding the frustration of the so called 'haters' (is someone who feels screwed really a 'hater' or merely someone who needs to vent their anger and frustration?). However, I have much more difficulty understanding, and empathising with the lovers.
The logic of those who believe that we should be grateful to the producers of a broken product (I think we can agree on the verity of that term) when they try to fix it completely defies me.
Some of the most interesting (and entertaining) defences are those which try to convince us that 'hey, this is normal, all great games are broken on release'. Ah, the narcotic qualities of self delusion
Hence I read the posts, and try to understand
Sorry Mystic Puma, but the threads on this forum are way too entertaining to relegate to a. b. c. d. etc. Where's the fun in that?
