The problem is that many (including myself) see this as another nail in the PC games coffin. I do not have the time to go through every thread and try to fix problems that should not be there in the first instance. reviews like this do the game (and PC games in general) no favours. Many people will buy the game on the strength of this very misleading review, play it for a few minutes, realise that it is not fit for purpose and bury it away in the cupboard, never to be played again, and never again will they buy a game from the same developer. (Regardless of whos fault it is..)

You will have the 'hardcore fanboys' on here telling others to 'stop whining'. That is absolutely fine. The truth is that when games like this are released and do not work properly on many capable machines, it kills ongoing sales, irrespective of future patches. First impressions etc.

The majority (NOT the hardcore few) want and expect a finished product when they (we) hand over £30 of our hard earned money - this is not the case with this game. Many will invest their money and time into games that work and do not frustrate - it really is that simple.

Reviews like this should not be allowed to be published - they do the developers no favours in the long run.
